The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3268



Helena was somewhat stunned, and she hurriedly said, "This is really a little too much... Oskians say that there should be no gain without pain... I... I..."

Jeremiah laughed, "Why are you talking about gains and pain? In our Oskian tradition, it is only right to give a gift of money on your wedding day as you are officially becoming the daughter-in-law of the Wade family. It is not only your father-in-law and mother-in-law who will be giving you a gift of money, but I, as a grandfather, as well as Felix's other uncles and aunts, will also be giving you a gift of money." 3

Helena was slightly startled and she said seriously, "I mean no offense, but I feel that this custom does not seem to suit me..."

After saying that, Helena hurriedly explained, "This is mainly because most young people would basically stop asking their family for money after going to college. This is also the same case for me as well as for many of my friends. I relied on a scholarship and student loan to get into university too. I usually do not reach out to my family to ask them for money. So, can we omit the gift of money?"

Felix, who was aside, was dumbfounded. He hurriedly took a step forward and grasped Helena's hand gently as he said, "My dear, how could we omit such a thing?!"

Helena subconsciously knitted her beautiful brows

the moment Felix touched her. Immediately after that, she quickly pulled her hand back. 3

She did not have any feelings for Felix, but she had no choice but to accept the marriage because she could not fight her family's arrangement. Besides that, she also had her own final struggle in her heart. Her final struggle was that as long as she was not officially married to Felix yet, she would not have any close or intimate contact with Felix.

Over the past few days that she had been in Eastcliff, Felix had always been intentionally and unintentionally trying to get closer to her. There were even several times when he wanted to enter her room when he sent her back to the hotel, but she had refused him politely.

Although Felix was anxious, he did not dare to be oppressive or force her.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be gentlemanly as he passed it off with a smile.

In truth, he had already cursed at Helena dozens of times in his heart because of how she was being so reserved.

At this time, Felix felt even angrier in his heart when he saw that Helena would not even let him hold her hand. 2

He could not help but clench his teeth as he secretly cursed, 'I really do not know whether this Northern European girl is really such a decent person

or

whether she is just pretending to be so decent! She is always making it seem as though she is so precious, and she will not even let me touch her f*cking hand at all!'

'I will wait for the time for us to consummate our marriage in the bridal chamber, then. I will put up with you if you are really a f*cking decent girl who has never been intimate with anyone else, but if you've already had sexual intercourse with someone else, you can just wait and see how I am going to f* eking deal with you after our wedding!' 4

The other Wade family members took the scene where Helena dodged Felix's hand to heart, and each of them had their own thoughts in their minds. As Felix's father, Clayton was more or less dissatisfied. He felt that Helena was not showing his son any respect.

However, Jeremiah felt that Helena

was indeed a rare, good girl. She was born in Europe where everyone was very open-minded, but he did not expect that she would be so firm in her principles. This was truly rare. The Wade family would not only be

able to gain an even better be

in

réputation with a daughter-in-law like this, but there would also be relatively small chances of her getting involved in various scandals in the future.

If Felix were to marry a profligate woman and she was to get involved in a cheating scandal, the Wade family's image and reputation would definitely be ruined.

Felix felt extremely embarrassed, and he could only quickly change the subject to divert everyone's attention.

So, he said to Helena, "My dear, regardless of whether it's the dowry or the gift of money, this will be the family start-up fund for the both of us after we get married. This is a form of kindness that our elders in the family are showing us. So, how can we refuse it? Therefore, I think that you should just follow the local custom and stop worrying about all these little details."

However, Helena said righteously, "If that is the family start-up fund given to us by the elders in your family, it would be unfair for us to only receive money from the elders in your

family. But if we were to accept

money from both families, there is no such tradition in Northern Europe, and it is very difficult for me to bring this topic up to my parents. So, I think that it would be better for us to be more flexible and omit these customs."

Felix was frustrated, and he cursed angrily in his heart, 'Is there something wrong with your brain? We can get tens of millions of US dollars from the gift of money when we get married! This will be equivalent t o four to five billion Oskian dollars! You're f*cking saying that you do not want it?!" 4

time and said Alright then, Felix. You should hurry up and go to the airport to pick Charlie up at the

airport.now. Otherwise, it will b

delayed. We will talk about these things again later." "Okay." Felix could only agree. He looked at Helena, and after thinking for moment, he smiled and said," My dear, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come to the airport with me, then?"
