NovelEnglishFrankly speaking, Elaine didn't want to be a lickspittle to Charlie, but she was currently in a very awkward position. 8 She no longer had the financial power of the family. She was almost penniless. Even the luxurious Thompson First villa was under Charlie's name, which had nothing to do with her. 8 More importantly, since she had lost more than 2 million in the mahjong scam that Hannah had set up, she knew that her status in the family had dropped significantly. Even Jacob, who had always been shouted at and bullied by her, had turned against her and even beat her up. Under such circumstances, she knew that she did not have the luxury to be arrogant and cocky like she used to be. 2 Thus, Elaine knew that, for now, she could only behave with her tail between her legs, and tried to get on Charlie's good side. She would be doomed if even Charlie turned against her one day and kicked her out of the house. 6 Moreover, Charlie was even willing to help her ask about the expensive cosmetics. Of course, she had to flatter and compliment him more.

She sighed helplessly and asked, "Dear, how cI never knew that you have a friend in the cosmetics business." 2 Charlie smiled, "My social circle began to expand ever since I started doing the feng shui job. How else would I know Liam Weaver, the CEO of Apothecary Pharmaceutical? If it weren't for the fact that I knew Liam, you wouldn't have had the chance to dine with such a big star such as Quinn, right?" Claire nodded lightly and sighed, "Hey, it's better not t 0 owe people favors. The caviar anti-aging cosmetics are easily over a hundred thousand dollars per set. It's really too extravagant for a family like us. There's no need..." Elaine blurted anxiously, "Oi, girl! Who says we don't need them?! My dear son-in-law Charlie didn't even say anything, so don't you dare talk nonsense here!" 9 Then, she turned to Charlie and said with a coy smile," Charlie! I'll depend on you to fix my old and wrinkled face! Or else, if your heartless father-in-law wants to divorcein the future, I'll be an old and useless woman that no one wants! My happiness in this life will be gone." 3 Charlie looked at Claire and said, "Claire, don't mind about the price. I can, after all, convert the price of the product into my feng shui service without us actually spending money. You know, the good old barter system." "Exactly!" Elaine immediately smiled and uttered, "My son-in-law is awesome. It's all thanks to you that I can live in such a classy Thompson First villa! The way I see it, I'll have to rely on you for the rest of my life." 9 Then, she lamented with a grateful sigh, "People say a son-in-law is half a son. I didn't believe them, but now, I truly believe them!" Claire was dumbfounded as she looked on.
Never in her wildest dreams did she think that her mother, who had always been harsh and rude to Charlie, would worship him like a deity. 8 So, she turned to Charlie and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "You're on your own now. I don't even know what to say." Charlie said with a smile, "I'll go to see him today, then." Truth be told, Charlie didn't have any friends in the cosmetic business. When he said that, he had already made up his mind that after he was done with his matters at hand today, he would go and buy two sets of the cosmetics that Elaine had talked about-one for Elaine, and the other, of course, for his wife.
He decided to give them to Elaine because her current attitude made him feel invigorated and refreshed. What did men want, besides the woman he loved? s Status and dignity.
