The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5440

“You!” Sonia did not expect that Charlie would reject her proposal so directly.

Sonia, who had never been rejected by anyone before could not help but question Charlie with some displeasure, “Mr. Wade, I don’t know how the treasure of the Taoist Sect ended up in your hands, but I believe that you should not have gotten it through despicable means.”

Charlie sneered and said, “Miss Letterman, it’s a little self-centered if you jump to conclusions without finding out what happened. Wouldn’t you know whether I obtained the medicine cauldron using fair and square means if you simply asked your master about it?”

Caden, who was aside, hurriedly said, “Sonia, don’t be rude to Master Wade! Master Wade obtained the medicine cauldron in an upright manner! In fact, I was the one who gave it to Master Wade voluntarily!”

Sonia was furious and asked him, “Master, the medicine cauldron belongs to the Taoist Sect, and you were just guarding it on behalf of the Taoist Sect! What rights did you have to give it to someone else?! You’re just a leader of the Taoist Sect, and your duty is to carry on the great teachings of the past ancestors of the Taoist Sect, but this does not mean that all the resources of the Taoist Sect are at your disposal!”

“Well…” Caden really felt disgraced and ashamed when his disciple said such righteous words.

He also had self-awareness. In the beginning, he was the one who had acted extravagantly and deliberately used the medicine cauldron to lure Anthony to take the bait and fall for his trap. He did not expect that Xyla would call Charlie, which not only ruined his plan but also caused him to lose his medicine cauldron.

Moreover, he knew that what Sonia said was not wrong. He was just one of the thirty-nine leaders of the Taoist Sect, so this did not mean that the assets of the Taoist Sect were his personal assets. He was just keeping guard over the treasure of the Taoist Sect and had no right to give the treasure of the Taoist Sect away without permission.

However, there was nothing he could do about this matter anymore!
