The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

They were truly somewhat fated, then.

Therefore, Hugo showed a sincere smile that he rarely showed and hurriedly said, "Oh, we are indeed fated! Come, come, sit down!"

Charlie nodded. After putting his suitcase away, he sat down next to Hugo and said with a smile, "It seems that there will be someone I can chat with on this journey, then."

Hugo also did not continue guarding against Charlie and asked him curiously, "By the way, do you have any acquaintances you'll be meeting up with after you reach Mexico?"

Charlie laughed casually and said, "I don't have any acquaintances there. I'll simply hang around and see

if there is any suitable business I can do. I will go back to Oskia if there's nothing I can do here."

Hugo asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that your creditors will look for you if you go back?"

Charlie waved his hand and said, "Oskia is a big place. When the time comes, I'll find a place to settle down. Perhaps I will have a chance to turn things around and rise again, and I might be able to go home after my debt is paid."

Having said that, Charlie looked at Hugo and asked again, "By the way, what kind of work are you going to do in Mexico? Is there any way for you to introduce a job to me?"

"Me?" Hugo sighed and said with a self-deprecating smile, "I don't have any contacts. If I had contacts, I wouldn't have had to abandon my wife and son to go to a hellhole like Mexico."

Having said that, Hugo lowered his voice and said to Charlie, "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. According to Oskians, Mexico is a place that is outside the law. Why did the president spend so much money to build a wall on the border? Isn't it all because he wants to control illegal immigration and drug smuggling there? Why would any Americans who are doing well come over here?"

Charlie nodded and asked curiously, "You have been talking for a long time, but you haven't actually mentioned what you're going to work as."

Hugo did not conceal it any longer and said seriously, "To tell you the truth, I'm going to Mexico to become a seaman."

"A seaman?" Charlie asked curiously. "On a ship?"

"Yes." Hugo nodded and said, "A friend of my mother introduced this job to me. She said that the salary is quite good, and I would be able to earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars a year, but it is hard work."

Charlie frowned slightly. He did not know what Martha's true purpose was in deceiving Hugo under the guise of a seaman.

However, he was certain of one thing, and that was the fact that there was absolutely no way a ruthless person like Martha was simply tricking Hugo into becoming a seaman.

Charlie did not show any expression as he said, "You're also a high-achieving student, so wouldn't it be a little too inferior for you to go to sea and became a seaman? Instead of doing this, it would be better for you to go back and develop in Oskia. The domestic development in Oskia is so fast, and you would definitely find a good way out of your situation."noveldrama

Hugo was stunned and then sighed

as he said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but sometimes, I feel ashamed. All my relatives, friends, and former classmates know that I immigrated to the United States early, and I also brought my mother over to enjoy a good¶ife in the United States. For so many years, they have always been envious when they mentioned our family. They will definitely talk behind my back if I return to Oskia to develop at this point..." Charlie smiled slightly when he heard this and said indifferently, "Even though I'm younger than you, I can still see what's right or wrong clearer than you. You can only mind your own reputation after you can feed and clothe your wife, children, parents, and family. Why are you worrying about such things now? Is your reputation any better if you go to Mexico to become a seaman?"

Hugo said with a shameful

expression, "To be honest, I've been feeling guilty toward my country all these years. Even though I'm an American citizen and hold an

American passport, I will always

remember that it was my country et

that trained me and paid for my further education. I couldn't resist the temptation from outside and betrayed my own country. If I was now a big shot such as those Fortune 500 entrepreneurs and executives, I would also like to go back to my country with money to donate to my alma mater and set up a student fund to help those children who can't afford to pay for their education. This could be considered as me atoning for my mistakes and redeeming myself..."

Having said that, Hugo's eyes flushed red as he said miserably, "The main point is that I am a failure! I cannot go back to my country and beg my country to take me back in because I am not doing well outside when I was the one who betrayed my country first, right?"
