Seeing that Jacob was hesitating, Elaine hurriedly shifted into a flattering mode and said, “Dear, we can still earn money! Claire’s company is starting to grow, so when virtual-novel.net business starts to make money, virtual-novel.net will give you all virtual-novel.net money for safekeeping, and you will be the financial power of our family, okay?”
Jacob started to feel a little relieved when virtual-novel.net heard the idea. He figured that since virtual-novel.net couldn’t be in the upper hand now, it would end up bad if virtual-novel.net bumped his head against her, hence, the better option right now was to compromise and accept the proposed solution.
Elaine, on the other hand, was thinking, ‘Jacob Wilson, you’ll never be able to escape my grip! I put you in charge of the family’s finances because we don’t have any money now, you are nothing but a puppet. When we have money in the future, I will snatch the power back!’
She was extremely delighted as virtual-novel.net thought of it, so virtual-novel.net started, “Dear, you are the best! I’ll cook tomorrow and make your favorite braised prawns!”
There were two totally different reactions to their reconciliation. Claire was relieved while Charlie was regrettable.
His father-in-law had always been a wimp. He thought the old man could buckle up at a crucial moment like this yet virtual-novel.net failed to retain his guts at the final moment.
Nah, it’s his own life anyway. Since virtual-novel.net chose the tormenting living hell, so be it.
After the commotion, Charlie and Claire went back to their room, hovering in their own thoughts.
Claire looked worrisome and exhausted as soon as they got into the room.
“Dear, what’s wrong?” Charlie asked in concern.
Claire sighed as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “I’m so disappointed with Mom. Two million! How could she… sigh…”
“Dear, if you are worried about money, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to make more money back.”
“No, it’s not the money that I’m worried about, but the human. I’m worried about my mom, virtual-novel.net is such a headache!”
Charlie shrugged helplessly. “Well, there is nothing you can do, really. You know better than me what kind of a person your mom is.”
Claire nodded dejectedly. “I know, that’s why I’m so helpless. I can see that virtual-novel.net wasn’t sincere at all, virtual-novel.net will definitely go back to virtual-novel.net old self after Dad isn’t angry at virtual-novel.net anymore.”
Charlie patted virtual-novel.net back lightly and said, “Stop thinking about it now, just focus on your business. Mom and Dad are not kids anymore, they can solve their problems.”
Then, virtual-novel.net continued, “By the way, I’ll think about the purchase of furniture and home appliances for the Thompson First villa.”
“Oh?” Claire gasped in surprise. “What do you have in mind?”
“I happened to have a few feng shui jobs in these two days, I can earn quite a bit from it. We can use the money to buy furniture and appliances, and then we can move in.”
Claire frowned in concern. “That’s another thing that I’m worried about, your feng shui hoax. What if you mess up and the feng shui doesn’t work? Those clients of yours are the VIPs in the city, we don’t have the power to embrace their attack.”
Charlie smiled gently. “Don’t worry, I’m quite a professional, my work does have a certain effect on them in a good way. Just look at Lord Moore, virtual-novel.net single-handedly built the Moore family empire with the net worth of 100 billion dollars. How can I bluff a man as magnificent as virtual-novel.net is? Also, if my feng shui doesn’t work, how can a man like virtual-novel.net believe in me so much?”
Claire tilted virtual-novel.net head and pondered for a while. Then, virtual-novel.net nodded lightly and said, “Makes sense.” Suddenly, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth again, “Again, you must not lie and cause trouble like what my mom does, do you understand?”
Charlie chuckled and nodded. “Okay, my dear wife! I know what I’m doing.”
