Claire came out of the bedroom as she stretched her waist and asked Charlie, “Do you have something
on today?”
Charlie replied, “I am going to attend a friend’s birthday party later at noon.”
After that, Charlie asked Claire, “Wife, did you need something?”
Claire nodded slightly before she said, “Yes, I wanted to do some shopping, but if you’re busy, you can
go ahead and do your own thing! I will ask Loreen to accompany me.”
Charlie replied, “Sorry, my dear wife. You can go shopping with Loreen today. I will accompany you
some other day.”
Claire smiled slightly as she said, “Okay, then.”
Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine, had a very black face as she said, “Oh, Charlie, are you going to attend
your friend’s birthday party? Is he old?”
Charlie nodded as he said, “Yes, he is eighty years old.”
Elaine sneered before she said, “Are you trying to use your set of silly skills to try and fool those old
men so that you can cheat them out of all their money?”
Charlie simply replied, “I did not lie to anyone.”
“You are still pretending even now?” Elaine said as she snorted coldly. “Are there any more wealthy
and powerful figures in Aurous Hill that have not been fooled by you yet? Let me tell you something. I
can already predict your future. You are no different from those fortune-tellers from back then. Only two
futures are awaiting you. You will either end up in prison or get hacked to death!”
Elaine had been very upset with Charlie recently. The main reason was simply because Charlie has
donated all of the money she had lost to Linda and Hannah to the Hope Foundation.
Now, her pockets were even cleaner than her face. Even though her store-value card for the beauty
salon had already been used up, she did not have the money to top up the card to renew the beauty
services. Elaine did not know how she was going to explain things to her husband or daughter if they
found out she had lost all the family money.
Elaine felt that Charlie was the main culprit behind this matter!
Therefore, she was naturally very unhappy with Charlie.
When Jacob heard Elaine targeting Charlie again, he hurriedly stood up to defend him as he said,
“Seriously, why are you doing this again? What did Charlie ever do to you? Don’t you think that Charlie
has really done well to prove himself during this time?”
“What a load of crap!” Elaine did not know that when Jacob had attended a gathering with his old
classmates not too long ago, he had managed to save himself a lot of face because of Charlie.
When Elaine saw her husband speaking up for Charlie, she started cursing immediately, “Jacob, don’t
be fooled by this guy over here! Otherwise, you will not even know when you have already been sold
out by him!”
Jacob was too lazy to be bothered with Elaine. Instead, he simply handed his BMW car keys over to
Charlie before he said, “Charlie, Dad has already reserved a room at The Heaven Springs for dinner
tonight. I will be having dinner with the leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. I will
definitely be drinking a little with them, so I don’t think that I will be able to drive home later. Can you
keep my car keys so that you can come and pick me up from The Heaven Springs later tonight?”
Charlie nodded slightly before he took the car keys and asked, “Dad, what time should I pick you up?”
Jacob replied, “We have already made an appointment to meet up for dinner at seven o’clock. I think
that we should be done by about half-past eight to nine o’clock. You can come to The Heaven Springs
to wait for me at half-past eight tonight.”
“Okay.”
As soon as Charlie had agreed to pick Jacob up, Elaine anxiously asked, “Jacob! Are you going to treat
your guests to dinner at The Heaven Springs tonight? Where did you get so much money?”
Jacob did not dare to say that Charlie was the one who had given him the money. Therefore, he
retorted immediately, “Why do you care so much about the origins of my money? I am not spending
your money anyway!”
Elaine replied angrily, “Don’t you know that it will cost you at least twenty to thirty thousand dollars just
to book a room to host a dinner at The Heaven Springs? Do you have so much money to waste?”
Jacob said angrily, “I’ve already told you a long time ago that I want to compete for the position of the
standing director. What is twenty or thirty thousand dollars for a meal? Besides, I am not spending any
of your money at all!”
Elaine became very furious, and she blurted out, “I can already go to the beauty salon to do several
face and body treatments with twenty thousand dollars! Why do you have to use so much money just to
entertain some guests for dinner?”
Jacob retorted, “I’ve never once stopped you when you go to the beauty salon and spend ten to twenty
thousand dollars there every month! You are also keeping our family’s savings of more than two million
dollars in your bank account. You can spend your money, and I can spend my own money. Why are
you still trying to control what I do with my own money?”
Elaine was startled when Jacob suddenly mentioned the family’s savings.
Their family savings of two million dollars was indeed supposed to be in her bank account, but now, it
had already been donated to the Hope Foundation!
She did not even have money to go to a beauty salon for facials anymore!
How great would it be if she could use the twenty thousand dollars that Jacob was going to spend on
food on her facials at the beauty salon instead?
