The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

With that said, Stephen asked again, "Lord Wade, it's three minutes away from 9.30 am. There are more than one hundred collateral family members of the Wade family who are waiting outside the mansion now. Is it time to let them in one after the other to pay their

respects

now?"

Jeremiah nodded and smiled as he said, "Okay! Let's start!"

As he said that, Jeremiah also turned around and made the introduction to Charlie, who was beside him, "Charlie, the first person who will be coming to pay his respects later is your second grandfather's family. I wonder if you still remember him?" 2 Charlie shook his head. "I don't have much of an impression anymore."

Jeremiah smiled and said, "You should have seen him once or twice when you were young. However, you've already been away from home for too long, after all. Besides that, your second grandfather's family is based in Canada, and there are not many opportunities for them to come to Oskia." 2 After saying that, Jeremiah then said again, "Speaking of the Wade family's many collateral families, your second grandfather's family is the closest to us. After all, he is my own younger brother." 3

When the others saw that Lord Wade was talking and laughing with Charlie, all of them felt very jealous and envious in their hearts.

Very soon, everyone heard Stephen shouting from the door, "The descendant of the Wade family, James Wade, has brought his eldest son, Colton Wade, and his eldest grandson, Franklin Wade, here to visit and pay their respects!" 2

As soon as his words fell, an old man with white hair walked in with a middle-aged man and a young man with smiles on their faces.

This old man was Jeremiah's own younger brother, James.

James brought his eldest son and eldest grandson with him as he walked directly to Jeremiah, who was sitting at the main seat in the center, as he said excitedly, "Brother! It's been a long time!"

Jeremiah nodded as he smiled and said, "You have not been back for the past two or three years, right? It's not justifiable for you not to come back and visit your elder brother at all!"

James said ashamedly, "Brother! It's getting harder and harder for my body to endure any hardships. I came down with a serious illness a few years ago, and more than half of my stomach was cut off. Brother, you know about this too. The doctor advised me not to overwork and make myself too tired. Šo, I usually do not travel far." 2

As he spoke of this, James sighed

and said again, "My children did not want me to come to the ancestor worship Ceremony this time, but how could I not come? This might be the last time I can attend gur ancestor worship ceremony!"

Jeremiah hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense! Take care of your body. You will definitely be able to come and participate in the next ancestor worship ceremony in twelve years!"

James sighed slightly and waved his hand as he said," Brother, I know my own body and health very well. I'll already be very satisfied if I can live for another three to five years. How can I possibly hope for twelve years?"

As he spoke of this, James said

again, "I just finished my children's

work a few days ago. I want them to transport my body back to Oskia so that I can be buried in the Wade family's ancestral grave after I die. However, my children did not agree tot at first. They always felt that it was too far away and that it would not be easy for them to come and visit me to pay their respects to me."

Jeremiah blurted out, "Alright, that's enough, James! Don't talk nonsense anymore! You should stay for a few more days now that you're back this time. We brothers should get together and chat more!" 1 "Okay!" James nodded repeatedly. After that, he said to his son and grandson, "Colton, Franklin, what are the both of you waiting for? Hurry up and pay your respect to the head of the Wade family!"

Colton hurriedly knelt on one knee before he wrapped one of his hands around his other fist and said," Colton is here to pay homage to you, Eldest Uncle!"

His son, Franklin, also knelt and said, "Franklin is here to pay homage to you, Eldest Grandpa!"

Jeremiah smiled as he held the both of them up and said cheerfully, "Come. Come, James, Colton, and Franklin. I'll make the introductions to you."

The eldest son of the Wade family, Clayton, had already raised his buttocks and was about to get ready to get up at this moment.

This was because according to the rules, even if everyone knew each other, they still had to go through with the motions on this kind of formal occasion. 2 As the eldest son, he would be the first to be introduced.

But who would have thought that as

soon as he had just lifted his

buttocks up a few centimeters, Jeremiak, who was beside him, pulled Charlie and introduced him to

James, his son, and his grandson, This is Curtis' son, Charlie!" 6
