Jasmine had a very indifferent expression on virtual-novel.net face as they sat in the car.
For her, the fact that there was such a useless scumbag in virtual-novel.net family was extremely frustrating. Moreover, what was even more vexing was the fact that Uncle Quilt had tried to set virtual-novel.net up in front of so many outsiders.
If virtual-novel.net had fooled virtual-novel.net into giving virtual-novel.net the money today, Uncle Quilt would have escaped with all that money. Jasmine would have been really embarrassed if virtual-novel.net had discovered the fact that virtual-novel.net had been cheated only after losing a vast fortune that belonged to the Moore family!
Fortunately, Charlie was present at that time and had saved her, helping virtual-novel.net avoid losing virtual-novel.net family fortune.
Jasmine took out a bank card from the glove box in virtual-novel.net car before virtual-novel.net handed it over to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, there is about one million dollars in this card. The passcode is six ‘eights’. Please accept this as a form of my gratitude.”
Jasmine could not help but sigh as virtual-novel.net spoke. Why had Charlie chosen to join such a small family when virtual-novel.net seemed to be so professional and skillful? If virtual-novel.net had come out and started his own antique appraisal business, virtual-novel.net would have been able to create a massive career for himself after a few years.
Charlie hesitated for a moment as virtual-novel.net looked at the bank card in virtual-novel.net hand.
One million dollars was not a small amount, but it was nothing to the Moore family.
At first, Charlie had no care for the one million dollars at all. After all, virtual-novel.net had more than nine billion dollars in his own bank card, so to him, one million dollars was just a drop in a bucket of water.
What was the point of accepting it?
However, when virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net was just not a trillionaire. He was merely the son-in-law of the Wilson family.
He was simply someone’s son-in-law. If virtual-novel.net turned down the offer of one million dollars as a reward, this would definitely seem suspicious to Jasmine. Hence, Charlie took the bank card from virtual-novel.net and said, “Thank you, Miss Moore.”
Jasmine smiled before virtual-novel.net replied, “Mr. Wade, you are way too polite.”
After speaking, Jasmine asked again, “Where are you heading to, Mr. Wade?”
Charlie smiled as virtual-novel.net replied, “Can you drop me off at the vegetable market? I have to buy some vegetables so that I can go home and cook.”
Jasmine was stunned upon hearing his reply and could not stop herself from asking, “I have heard about you in the past, but Mr. Wade, in my honest opinion, you have a very good set of skills that you should put to good use. There is no need for you to be a stay home son-in-law. Why don’t you come and work for me instead? I promise to give you a basic salary of one million dollars a year. What do you think of my offer?”
Charlie quickly waved his hand as virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “I am already used to living like this.”
Jasmine was startled at his reply, but virtual-novel.net could only sigh in response.
It seemed as though the rumors were true. She had already heard the rumors stating that Charlie was a son-in-law who lived off his wife.
In the past, Jasmine used to think that this was simply a rumor. She had initially thought that virtual-novel.net had not been given the opportunity to prove himself.
However, now, virtual-novel.net finally understood that Charlie was the one who chose to waste his life away, and virtual-novel.net found this truly unacceptable.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net attitude and impression of Charlie changed immediately.
Charlie knew that virtual-novel.net would definitely look down on him. However, that would be best for him. In fact, it would be better if everyone around virtual-novel.net had the wrong impression of him. That way, virtual-novel.net would be the one to have the last laugh in the end.

When they finally arrived at the vegetable market, Charlie got out of the car after bidding farewell to Jasmine. After that, virtual-novel.net bought some vegetables before heading home.
As soon as virtual-novel.net stepped into the house, Charlie could hear the old man laughing wildly as virtual-novel.net shouted out loud.
“Hahaha… come, come. Come and look at what I’ve found!”
At this time, Claire had already gotten off work, and virtual-novel.net was sitting on the sofa while reading some documents. She turned around to look at virtual-novel.net father as soon as virtual-novel.net heard Jacob shouting. “Dad, you almost scared me to death.”
“Hurry up and take a look at this!” Jacob did not notice the expression on Claire’s face at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net held out a pair of palm-sized celadon cups, as though virtual-novel.net was trying to show them off. “These are the blue and white celadon cups that I found in the antique market today! I heard that they found it in the late emperor’s coffin and it is worth more than five hundred thousand dollars!”
“More than half a million dollars?” Claire stood up as virtual-novel.net blurted out immediately. “Dad, where did you get so much money?”
