The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5300

If Jaime could not pass this test, even if he could regain his freedom from today onward, he would not be allowed to lay his hands on the Schulz family’s assets.

This was because Charlie wanted to find an absolutely trustworthy and loyal subordinate for Sophie, so there could not be any hidden dangers buried within this candidate. If Jaime had the slightest idea of giving up on this pilgrimage, Charlie would exclude him immediately.

Helen and Sophie did not know Charlie’s real intentions. They could not hide their excitement when they heard that Charlie was willing to be lenient and give Jaime a chance. They hoped that Jaime could take advantage of the situation and agree.

However, Jaime hesitated for a moment and then said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wade, but I still want to finish this pilgrimage.”

Charlie had an indifferent expression as he said, “Think about it carefully. The road ahead will be even more difficult in the future. You will enter the mountains, the plateau, and you will enter no man’s land. You will even have to climb several mountains with an altitude of four to five kilometers. You will no longer be surrounded by modern cities but be replaced by a primitive world with almost no refinement where the environment is dangerous and there are wild beasts all around. It’s very likely that ordinary altitude sickness will kill you.”

Jaime nodded and said sincerely, “I know that the road ahead will be very difficult, but I still want to finish this instead of giving up halfway. To tell you the truth, I never had such persistence before, but I already have my own belief after going through these few months of experience. This kind of belief is not religion but perseverance to complete my goal. I hope that I can have the character to never give up. Completing this pilgrimage is the first step to possessing this character, and I may never get another chance if I give up now...”

Charlie could not help but feel somewhat impressed with Jaime.

Being able to say these words meant that Jaime really had not wasted the past half a year in vain.

So, he nodded and said, “I won’t say much more since you’ve already made up your mind. There’s still a long road ahead, so you can quit at any time if you feel pressure and difficulties during this process. I won’t blame you, much less stop you.”

Jaime clasped one of his hands over the other and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I understand!”
