As he spoke, Charlie said again, “So, don’t you think that it is completely impossible for the young lady of the Moore family to be interested in a useless person like me?”Claire could not help but say, “But… but I feel that she really respects you! She even took the initiative to get off the car just to open the car door for you!”Charlie snorted before he said, “The only reason why she respects me is simply because her grandfather truly believes in me. Her grandfather is already aging and getting older. Therefore, he is starting to believe in Feng Shui and fate more and more. Since he really trusts me, he naturally respects me. That is the reason why his granddaughter is also very polite and respectful toward me. If she neglects me, her grandfather will blame her for it. At that time, she will definitely be the unlucky one.”Claire nodded gently. It seemed as though there was nothing wrong with Charlie’s explanation.Moreover, everything could be explained, and everything made

In fact, the reason why Jacob asked about the villa was because he wanted to help Charlie.He knew all about his wife’s temperament lately and he felt as though Elaine was attacking Charlie more lately. Therefore, Jacob was afraid that Elaine would continue being sarcastic as she continued attacking Charlie.In Jacob’s eyes, this son-in-law of his really saved his life many times. Therefore, he really treated Charlie as his precious son-in-law now.As the saying goes, a son-in-law was also half a biological son. Jacob could not help but feel a little sorry towards his son-in-law when he saw Charlie getting scolded. However, when Jacob suddenly talked about the villa, Elaine was also immediately distracted!Elaine looked at Charlie before she blurted out, “Yeah, when will the renovation for the villa finally be completed? When can we move into the villa? After we move into the villa, I want to leave an empty room so that I can put an automated mahjong machine inside. After that, I

”What the hell?” Elaine was very anxious and she started cursing, “What kind of person is he? How can he take back something that he has already given to someone?” Charlie spread out his hand before he said, “After all, it is a gift given by someone else. Even if the person takes back his word and wants to take the villa back, we will not be able to do anything at all. How can we possibly be able to do anything to the White family?”Elaine was very annoyed and she said, “How can there be such a thing? How can he give us a villa without any furniture or appliances at all? He is really the worst!”Jacob said, “Okay! Stop it! We should just be contented. We should use our family money to buy some furniture tomorrow! After buying the furniture, we will find a moving company to move the furniture into the villa next week!”Elaine panicked as she said, “No! We are not moving into the villa if we do not resolve the issue involving the purchase of the furniture today!”“What else is ther

Even though Jacob was useless, he was not a fool.In this family, both he and his wife, Elaine, were vain.However, Elaine’s vanity was at least ten thousand times stronger than his own vanity!In fact, Elaine was the type of person who really loved her own face, and her vanity was at an extreme level! How could she possibly have the face to say that he was the one who was filled with vanity?! Was this woman really that shameless?As he was feeling very angry and frustrated, Jacob could not help but feel that something was not quite right.Elaine had always dreamt of moving into the villa at Thompson First. She had even envisioned moving into the villa way before the renovation was completed. Not only that, Elaine had even dragged him over to the villa to check on the progress of the villa’s renovation a couple of times already. When they visited the villa, Elaine was even planning what kind of furniture they should be buying for the living room. They had been discussing the kin

As he spoke, Jacob glared at Elaine before he said, “We placed the two million dollars in your custody. When the time comes, I will sue you and ask you for half of that money in court! You will be legally responsible for it if you cannot take the money out at that time!”“You…” Elaine really did not expect Jacob to be so heartless and cruel!Was he really going to divorce her and ask her to split their properties and assets between them? What was she going to do if he was really going to sue her for the money? She was already old and she had no money at all. How was she going to continue living if Jacob really wanted to divorce her?Elaine could not help but feel a little anxious and nervous as she thought about this.She softened her voice immediately and she hurriedly said, “Oh, my dear husband, why are you so mad at me? The both of us have already endured so much difficulties and sufferings together for the past twenty years. Are you really going to turn your back on me now?”

Elaine was utterly shocked by Jacob’s raucous grunt!She knew that, at this moment, she couldn’t keep the secret anymore, so she mumbled in a sheepish and shaky voice, “Dear, I’m sorry, I lost all our money in the mahjong…”She didn’t dare to tell the truth about Hannah being the mastermind behind the scam, because she knew that if the Wilson family knew about her involvement in the scam despite being a victim, they would come to her first since they were looking for Hannah frantically. Of course, she was not doing this to protect Charlie, she simply didn’t want to invite trouble for herself. All those people were reported as missing persons after Albert sent them to the coal mine, she feared that she might be dragged into this mess if an investigation was executed regarding their missing status.Thus, she could only say that she lost the money on gambling but not the scamming part.Jacob was up in arms about her confession that she lost more than two million in mahjong that he s

Moreover, Claire’s parents were at the age when they got each other for support as they grew old. They would not be happy if they divorced now.More importantly, where would they stay after the divorce? Even though they had two houses now, she always felt that the villa was an unstable constant as it was a gift obtained from Charlie’s deception, the original owner might take it back someday.So, what would happen then? Did she really want her parents to leave the marriage with nothing? Besides, she had just started her business venture. Thanks to Charlie and his friends’ support, her business was slowly going on track, but her company hadn’t earned any significant money yet and she didn’t have the money to buy a house for any of her parents as their retirement home. If they divorced now, the family would break apart.So, she cleared her throat and pleaded in a sobbing tone, “Dad, Mom already apologized to you, let bygones be bygones, can you forgive her this time, please?” She qui

On the balcony, Claire hugged Elaine tightly and cried, “Mom, please forgive dad, he is in a black mood right now. Give him some time, he will okay after this. Please, come down, will you?”Elaine climbed on the window and cried loudly, “Girl, don’t stop me, tonight will be the night I die! From now on, during the holidays, don’t forget to burn some money for me, don’t be like Charlie who doesn’t do so to his dead parents! His parents were so broke down there they had to come to him in his dream to remind him about it…” Charlie’s face turned into an irritating shade of green when he heard it!Elaine oh Elaine, you bloody woman, you still remembered the one hundred million dollar cheque that I received from Jasmine and accidentally gave you, it was so close!Luckily you didn’t buy it and came back to pick a fight with me. If you managed to cash the one million dollar cheque, I bet you would be so pompous that you thought you were a goddess!This incident indicated that you didn’t
