The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"Eight months?"

Sophie exclaimed, "Wouldn't you have to travel at least eight to nine kilometers every day if you want to reach Jordan Temple within eight months?!"

Sophie nodded and said, "Eight to nine kilometers is just the minimum. If the condition is good and the weather is good, I will have to travel a little faster so I can have more time to enjoy for a while when I pass by places with beautiful and majestic scenery."

Sophie felt distressed again. Helen turned around and said to her, "Sophie, don't disturb your brother and let him take a good bath."noveldrama

Sophie nodded slightly and said to Jaime, "Brother, take a good bath first. We will wait for you outside."

Jaime hummed in response. After Sophie had closed the bathroom door, Jaime took off his tattered clothes and prepared to take a good bath.

However, after standing in front of the bathtub, he looked at the clear warm water inside, then took his dirty clothes to the shower room at the side after hesitating for a moment.

He put the dirty clothes on the floor first, then turned on the shower, rinsed the dirty clothes, then began to wash the dirt off his body little by little.

Sophie and her mother, Helen, had already arrived at the dining room, and the mother-and-daughter duo could see the complicated look in each other's eyes as they exchanged glances.

After a moment of silence, Sophie was the first to speak up. "Mom, Brother has really changed a lot over the past six months. I really cannot believe that he is really my brother when so many words come out of his mouth. It feels as if another soul has taken over his body..."

Helen smiled slightly. She could not conceal her relief as she said, "I told you before that everything in the world has its own destiny. Although your brother has been a spoiled brat for more than twenty years, it seems that it is his destiny to turn over a new leaf."

After saying that, Helen added, "Your brother's life trajectory might undergo an earth-shaking change when he returns from Jordan Temple in eight months. Although I don't know what kind of change it will be, I believe that this change will definitely make him a better person."

Sophie nodded gently, sighed, and said, “It seems that my brother's sufferings along the way were not in vain. If he can really embark on the right path from now on, it is really all thanks to Mr. Wade's stern approach."

Helen agreed and said, "Sometimes, people need to be broken down before they can be built up. It's just that some people have been pampered since they were young and have always been very well-protected, so the people around them do not want to let them go through the process of being broken down. Therefore, I really want to thank Charlie."

Sophie then hurriedly said, "Oh, by the way, Mom, Mr. Wade said that he will come over to visit after lunch."

Helen was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously asked Sophie, "Mr. Wade is coming here?"

"Yes." Sophie nodded.

"Okay." Helen said with a smile, "It so happens that I can thank him in person, then!"

Meanwhile, Charlie drove his father-in-law's BMW 5 Series and brought Nanako to Thompson First.

Thompson First was divided into villas and high-rise areas. The cars could drive directly into the ground in the villa area, but considering the relatively high density of the population in the high-rise area, the developer had divided the people and the vehicles, so Charlie could only drive the car into the underground parking lot.

Just as Charlie was driving into the underground parking lot, Marianne had just walked out of the elevator in the underground parking lot.

There was an imported SUV that was already waiting here outside the elevator.

Madam Marilyn, who was the housekeeper of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, was seated in the driver's seat, and the person seated on the left side of the first-class seat in the second row was the eighteen-year-old Vera.

The second and third rows of the SUV were covered with extremely deep one- way privacy film, making it impossible for one to look at the interior of the SUV from the outside.

The reason why the two of them had come to Thompson First was because they had just accompanied Marianne to Aurous University to sign the employment contract in the morning. They originally planned to return to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor directly for lunch with Marianne.

However, Marianne had received a lot of contracts, materials, documents, badges, control access cards, and customized stationeries from Aurous University, which was very messy.

Moreover, Marianne needed all these things when she started work, so there was no need for her to bring so many things back to Hong Kong, which would not only be troublesome but would get misplaced and forgotten easily. Therefore, she proposed for Madam Marilyn to drive her to Thompson First so that she could store the items in her new house here first.
