The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Quinn's curiosity was roused by Dorothy's question. "Why? Is there anything special about this charity fund?"

"Of course there is!" Dorothy smiled. "This fund is dedicated to help the North American Oskian orphans to solve their daily needs. It also intends to support their education until they enter society and generate a stable income."novelbin

The expression on Quinn's face changed a little at this. She nodded repeatedly and began muttering seriously, "So, it's specifically to help orphans... That's really meaningful... Okay, check if the time's convenient for me that night. If it is, I'll attend the dinner." Dorothy curled her lips into a small grin and deliberately teased Quinn, "Look at you! Just because your Brother Charlie was an orphan, the act of rescuing and helping orphans is infinitely elevated in your eyes. If that's the case, is a charity fund for widows or the elderly a lesser one in your eyes?"

Quinn blushed. Embarrassed, she retorted," That's not what I meant! Don't talk nonsense!"

Dorothy grunted, "I'm not talking nonsense. That's exactly what you're thinking."

Quinn panicked. "No, I didn't mean that... I just...just..."

Dorothy grinned again, amused. "Why are you stuttering? Just say it. You just., what?"

Quinn stammered for a long time, only to finally give in. She glanced at Dorothy and said, "You're right. I regard the act of rescuing and helping orphans highly. Look, Dorothy. When you love someone, you're more likely to love anything that's connected to the person you love. Why? What's wrong with that? I don't have the chance to go back in time to make up for his childhood, but I can still make it up by supporting the childhood of other orphans! This is my way of making things right for myself. You're a terrible woman! Aren't you simply just forcing me to admit it? Well, are you satisfied now that I've already admitted it?"

Dorothy's amusement grew at Quinn's serious look. She giggled before coaxing Quinn, "Okay, okay. It's fine if you admit it. I can't empathize with your feelings, I can still understand it to a certain extent. It's why I wanted to let you know the purpose of this charity fund first before you make a decision."

Dorothy then added, "But Quinn, you

can't be so silly all the time. You can't only be silently giving. Since you agreed to participate in this charity dinner, you shouldn't only be helping to contribute to the orphans. You should also let Charlie Wade know about this. Let him know that you're doing all this because you love him, and that's why you're more likely to love something connected to him!"

Quinn played with her long hair, feeling awkward, and whispered, "That's not necessary... It's not like I want Brother Charlie to praise me..."

Dorothy slapped her thighs in anger." Quinn Golding! Do you still want to marry him?"

Quinn was startled by this question. She subconsciously murmured, "Yes... Of course, I want to..."

Dorothy removed her hand from her thigh and spat angrily through clenched teeth, "If you really want to marry him, you should stop being a fool who only gives silently in secret! From today onwards, you have to let him know everything that you're doing for him. Otherwise, you're just doing idle work!"

Dorothy then narrowed her eyes into a sharp glare. "Do you know what that means?"

Quinn was shocked by Dorothy's imposing manner. Startled, she stammered, "Yes... I know..."

Dorothy was questioning Quinn like a strict teacher forcing an answer out of a poor student. "Go on, tell me what you understand from that!"

Quinn muttered, "What else? In terms of physics, isn't it just invalid work? The desired transformation cannot be obtained even when hard work is done..."

Dorothy waved her hand, annoyed.

"I'm a liberal arts student, so don't talk about physics with me. Let me explain to you what idle work means in layman's terms that anyone can understand."
