Professor Riley impressed the audience with his fluency in Chinese, English, and Korean during his speech on stage. His ability to effortlessly switch between languages and his charming personality left many Korean women in awe.
During the cultural exchange period, several Korean ladies confessed their feelings to Professor Riley. They were often glamorous young women, which made Jacob feel envious.
Jacob had always struggled with feelings of inferiority in front of Professor Riley, due to a lack of confidence.
He took comfort in the fact that Professor Riley liked Matilda, but Matilda did not like virtual-novel.net instead. Although virtual-novel.net might not be as accomplished as Professor Riley in every way, Jacob felt proud that virtual-novel.net had at least won Matilda’s affections.
However, Jacob never expected that, as the cultural exchange was coming to an end, the members would hold a dance party.
To his surprise, Professor Riley not only sang an English love song on stage, but also confessed his love to Matilda in public. He even invited virtual-novel.net to join virtual-novel.net on stage for a dance if virtual-novel.net accepted his feelings.
Jacob couldn’t help feeling jealous and envious of Professor Riley’s talents and charms, but at the same time virtual-novel.net was inspired by the professor’s actions.
To Jacob’s shock, Matilda stood up in front of the cheering crowd and walked onto the stage. The two then performed a twist dance that was very popular in the United States in the last century.
Everyone at the event was impressed by the perfect match between Matilda and Professor Riley, but Jacob felt completely defeated and his life plummeted. From that day on, Jacob became completely decadent.
Back in Aurous Hill, virtual-novel.net shut himself up at home for over a week, smoking and drinking to numb the pain. This cycle continued until today.
However, Jacob was blinded by pain and unable to objectively see the gap between himself and Professor Riley. He had been constantly aggrieved, hating Professor Riley for taking away the love of his life and hating Matilda for choosing him.
But now, upon hearing Charlie’s heart-pounding words, Jacob finally came to his senses and realized the gap between himself and Professor Riley.
Thinking about his opponent, who completely outshined him, Jacob felt sad and began to cry like a child.
Charlie was about to comfort him, but Claire rushed out of the elevator, looking anxious. “Husband, something happened!” virtual-novel.net said. “Mom called the police and got into an argument with them!”
“Arguing with the police?” Charlie asked, surprised. “Why did Mom get into an argument with the police?”
“I don’t know,” Claire said, panicking. “Mom said virtual-novel.net needed to use the bathroom, so I helped virtual-novel.net in. Then virtual-novel.net didn’t come out. I heard virtual-novel.net talking on the phone inside, and virtual-novel.net tone became more and more agitated. Finally, virtual-novel.net started arguing with someone and said that they weren’t worthy of being a police officer…”
“I’ll go and see what’s going on,” Charlie said, hurrying to the bathroom.
After speaking, Charlie turned to Jacob and said seriously, “Dad, if you feel uncomfortable with what I just said, I can tell you again later.”
Jacob muttered, looking very depressed. “Forget it… Don’t rub salt in my wounds so arrogantly… No… What you’re rubbing in here is not salt, but sulfuric acid!”
Charlie shook his head helplessly. “Then you can figure it out for yourself. I’m going to go check on things upstairs.”
After speaking, Charlie and Claire went to the third floor together and took the elevator there.
As they were about to enter Elaine’s bedroom, they heard Elaine yelling loudly in the bathroom. “Aren’t you the police? Why can’t you handle this? I’ve already given you clear evidence, why don’t you arrest anyone?”
Charlie could hear the person on the other end of the phone saying, “Ma’am, this isn’t enough evidence to charge someone with fraud. We can’t file a case to arrest someone just because someone made up a story on the internet. It’s a moral issue, not a legal one.”
Elaine was furious. “She cheated people out of their money! If virtual-novel.net didn’t cheat people out of their money, how could virtual-novel.net afford to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class? My son-in-law told me that the car virtual-novel.net was driving cost at least two million. That should be considered a huge fraud case, right? You should arrest virtual-novel.net and give virtual-novel.net a life sentence!”
