Even until Claire came home from work, Jacob was still looking sulky and lifeless.
Charlie knew that virtual-novel.net was sulking because of the invitation card of the auction.
At this moment, Jasmine called and said, “Hi, Mr. Wade, I’m sorry, I was at Lancaster for some business affairs this afternoon, and now I’m at the downstairs of your house, can you please come and get the invitation card from me?”
Charlie answered straight away, “Okay, I’ll go now!”
He hurried off the door and went downstairs.
Jasmine was in virtual-novel.net Rolls Royce, waiting for Charlie. When virtual-novel.net spotted him, virtual-novel.net hurriedly got out of the car and handed virtual-novel.net two invitation cards.
Charlie thanked virtual-novel.net graciously and returned home.
Back home, Jacob was still sulking and angry.
Claire tried to persuade him, “Dad, please, calm down. Grandma gave Harold the invitation card for virtual-novel.net to get to know a few people in the business industry and the upper-class social society, and also to build his own social network.”
Jacob sighed. “Huh, your grandma is always biased towards Harold and his father since we were young, virtual-novel.net always looks down on me, it’s always been that way since! Argh! I’m so pissed!”
Claire nodded helplessly. She also knew that virtual-novel.net grandma favored virtual-novel.net cousin and uncle more than virtual-novel.net family.
At first, virtual-novel.net grandma was biased towards virtual-novel.net uncle because grandma thought that virtual-novel.net father was incapable and soft.
Then, as a girl, grandma felt that virtual-novel.net had no inheritance right to the family business, hence virtual-novel.net was more indulgent towards Harold.
Her family’s status basically went down the drain after virtual-novel.net married Charlie.
At this moment, Charlie walked forward and handed two golden invitation cards to Jacob, and said, “Dad, I have the invitation card you dream of.”
“What!!”
As if a spring was installed on his buttocks, Jacob jumped up from the sofa in surprise!
He snatched the invitation off Charlie’s hand, hurriedly opened it and glanced at it. For a short while, virtual-novel.net was so excited that virtual-novel.net couldn’t utter a word.
Claire, who witnessed them, was utterly surprised too. She took the invitation card from virtual-novel.net father and realized that it was the genuine invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion.
“Wow, that’s amazing! Charlie, you really are my good son-in-law!” Jacob’s face was flushed with thrilling red, his voice was filled with astonishment.
He patted Charlie’s shoulder and said, “My daughter is so lucky to be your wife.”
“Huh, it’s just an invitation card, what’s so special about it?” Elaine snarled sarcastically.
Jacob glared at Elaine in annoyance, clutching the invitation card tightly. “What do you know, you dimwit? This is the invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion!”
Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Charlie and said, grinning ear to ear, “Come, sit down, let’s eat!”
He waved his hand at Claire and said, “Go and get the bottle of fine whiskey from the cabinet, I want to have a couple of drinks with my good son-in-law tonight.”
Elaine glared at Charlie when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net husband was happy and continued virtual-novel.net dinner quietly.
Claire was also very happy for virtual-novel.net father but virtual-novel.net was a little skeptical. When virtual-novel.net came back with the whiskey, virtual-novel.net bumped Charlie’s elbow as virtual-novel.net sat down and asked, “Where did you get the invitation card from, anyway?”
She heard about virtual-novel.net father’s sulking when virtual-novel.net was at the office earlier today and wanted to get one for him. Then only virtual-novel.net realized that the invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion was limited to every family!
How did Charlie do it?
Charlie smiled warmly and said, “I asked a friend, virtual-novel.net received two but virtual-novel.net didn’t want to go, so virtual-novel.net gave it to me.”
“Really?” Claire frowned, still not convinced. “How come I never heard you say that you have a friend with such a good family background? What’s his name?”
Charlie said faintly, “His last name is Quinton, I helped virtual-novel.net once in Antique Street the other day. Dad knows him…”
Jacob nodded. “Oh yes, he’s right, the Quinton guy even gave Charlie a jade bracelet that is worth five or six million!”
