The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Meanwhile, it was already nighttime in Aurous Hill.

Elaine had already prepared dinner and had invited Charlie and Claire to the dining table. At the same time, she could not help but complain, "It's already eight o'clock, so why isn't that b*stard, Jacob, home yet? I wonder where he has gone to now!"

Charlie said casually, "Mom, Dad is the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now, so he must be busy. Please be considerate."

Elaine said disdainfully, "Why should I be considerate of him? Don't you think I know anything about his ability? I think the people in charge of the Calligraphy and Painting Association must be blind to let him be the vice president!"

Just as she was talking, Jacob opened the door and walked in.

Claire greeted him quickly and said, "Dad, wash your hands then come and have dinner!"

Jacob asked casually, "What kind of dishes are there? Is there any meat?"

Elaine cursed and said, "There is a lid, do you want to chew it? If you're willing, I'll buy you another two pieces tomorrow!"

Jacob had a headache as soon as he heard Elaine speak. He frowned and said, "I really cannot expect any good words to come out of your mouth."noveldrama

With that said, he walked into the kitchen and washed his hands at the sink. He then slowly came to the dining table, sat down, and said to Charlie, "Charlie, guess who I saw when I went to Antique Street today?"

Charlie said casually, "It must be Zachary. Who else could it be?"

Jacob said in surprise, "Oh, my dear son-in-law, you're really all-knowing!"

Charlie smiled and said, "Dad, forget about the fact that I already knew that Zachary had returned to Antique Street, but even if I didn't know that, it has to be Zachary, anyway. After all, there is no one else that we both know who sells antiques at Antique Street."

"That's right." Jacob nodded, then thought of what happened at Antique Street, and he sighed as he said, "Zachary is getting more and more corrupted. He had a piece of Thunderstrike wood displayed at his stall today. When I asked him how much he was selling it for, he spoke up and asked me for five million dollars for it. Has he lost his mind after being poor for so long?"

After saying that, he thought of something and said, "By the way, I heard that Zachary stopped selling antiques some time ago to go and work for Don Albert. Is he back because he can't continue working for Don Albert or is he planning to use the forceful underground buying and selling methods to the antique industry?"

Charlie smiled and said, "Dad, why do you care about what Zachary does? He can sell the piece of Thunderstrike wood for as much as he wants. No one with a keen eye for

antiques will buy it, anyway.

With

your experience in the antique industry for so many years, have you ever heard of a fool who would

spend five million dollars to buy a piece of Thunderstrike wood?"

Jacob pursed his lips, nodded, and said with a smile, "You're right."

Elaine, who was aside, asked, “Jacob Wilson, are you starting to buy and sell antiques again?"

Jacob glanced at her from the corners of his eyes and said casually, "I'm not an antique dealer, so why would I be trading antiques? It's just that I have a keen eye and can be considered to be a veteran in this industry, so I will seize the opportunity to make a move to pick up on any good deals ocassionally."

Elaine said disdainfully, "You're telling me that someone like you has a keen eye and can be considered to be a veteran in the industry? We should thank God if you don't make a mess as soon as you make a move!"
