Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAccording to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association as well as a few core members of the Senior University. 5 Jacob called Charlie a little after nine o'clock.
When Jacob called, Charlie was watching television with his wife in the living room.
His mother-in-law, Elaine, had put on a caviar antiaging facial mask as she lay down on the two-seater sofa in a leisurely manner while she scrolled through her online short video platform. As she was scrolling on her cell phone, she muttered, "Oh! That Japanese girl who cto Aurous Hill to participate in the combat and fighting championship has a pretty good appearance!" Charlie knew that she was definitely talking about Nanako. At this time, he did not say anything, but his cell phone had already started vibrating. 2 When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Jacob, he hurriedly answered the phone and said, "Hello, Dad." Jacob sounded a little drunk over the other end of the line as he laughed and said, "Oh, my good son-in-law, why don't you cover to the Heaven Springs to pickup? I drank swine." Charlie did not think too much, and he casually replied, "Okay, Dad. I will cand pick you up now." After that, he stood up before he said, "Mom, Claire, I'm going to go and pick Dad up now. He had sdrinks with the people from the Calligraphy and Painting Association." Claire stood up at this tand said, "Charlie, I will go along with you to pick Dad up." 2 Charlie did not think too much and nodded lightly as he said, "Okay, then we can just drive your car." When Elaine heard that Jacob had been drinking outside, she said in annoyance, "That old b*stard is getting more and more presumptuous now. My good son-in-law, don't go and pick him up. Let him cback on his own. When he comes back, I will lock the door so that he cannot cinto the house. Let him sleep in the courtyard, then!" 1 Charlie shrugged before he said, "Mom, you should not argue with Dad and make everything so tense and unhappy all the time. After all, we are all living under the sroof. Even if both of you are already separated, you should still try to get along with one another." 1 Elaine was also a very bright and experienced person, and she could immediately tell that Charlie was hinting at her.
Therefore, she secretly cursed in her heart, 'Although both Jacob and I are already separated, we are still living in Charlie's villa. Charlie would definitely not allowto get into a fierce and hot dispute or argument with Jacob. It will not be worthwhile forto have a falling out with Charlie at that time.' 6 Hence, she could only put aside the anger and frustration that she had toward Jacob as she pretended to be amicable and said, "Actually, I could not be bothered to waste targuing with the likes o f someone like him. When my legs are healed and after I fix my front teeth, I will also go out and have fun every day! Both of us will not interfere with each other's lives, then!" i Charlie immediately smiled when he heard this." Okay, then. It will be great if both of you can respect one another and try not to interfere in each other's lives." Elaine looked at Charlie before she smiled and said in a flattering manner, "Oh, my good son-in-law, at that time, you will have to give your mom spocket money too. Your mom is basically penniless now. I I were to go out with my friends for a meal or gathering, my friends would not be willing to hang out withif I do not have any money to pay for myself!" 8 Why wouldn't Charlie know what was running through Elaine's mind at this time? All that she thought about every day was money, going for facials, playing cards, and showing off. s She had no money now, and the reason why she did not go out at all was because her broken leg was truly a n inconvenience. Moreover, her image and appearance had been seriously damaged because of the loss of her two front teeth. 3

So, Charlie replied lightly, "Mom, when your leg is healed, and after you get your teeth fixed, I will give you fifty thousand dollars a month as your pocket money." 6 "Really?!" Elaine was suddenly very happy.
Fifty thousand dollars was indeed a lot of money. She had not been o'm willing to spend so much money every month even when she used to hold on to the family's two million dollars.
In truth, Elaine's daily expenses consisted of nothing more than playing cards occasionally, shopping with her fake sisters, getting sfacials, having sdinner banquets, singing karaoke, and occasionally buying sclothes, facial products, and so forth. Therefore, fifty thousand dollars a month was actually more than enough. X
