NovelEnglishHence, Jacob hastily conceded and said, "You! Can you please stop solving everything by making a scene?" i Elaine chided in a cold voice, "Well, you said it yourself that you're in charge of the family now, and I don't have the right anymore. If I don't make a scene, what can I do to establish my status in this family?" 1 Jacob voluntarily backed down and said, "Okay, fine, I misspoke. You have the right to dominate the family. Are you happy now?" 6 A triumphant grin appeared on Elaine's face as she said, "Now that you say so, I must exercise my right and power. Jacob, tellthe truth. How much money do you have right now? Did you go behind my back and make smoney by reselling the antiquities?" 6 Jacob said with a grimace of exasperation, "I'm making sh*t! That's what I'm making! Oh my goodness, frankly, I don't have a f*cking penny in my pocket now! There's no way to generate incfrom the Painting and Calligraphy Association! Previously, I was able to make smoney by reselling antiques, but I don't have that luck now. I've recently received a few cheap calligraphy paintings that I thought I could resell for sextra income, but I'm barking up at the wrong tree. I bought them for several thousand dollars each, and it turns out they're nothing but sh*tty artworks that aren't even worth a hundred dollars." Then, Jacob let out a long sigh before continuing in a morose tone, "I don't know where that Zachary is now. I can't find him anywhere. In the past, he was always able to helpfetch a good price for my things, but now, I can't find him even if I tried looking for him everywhere. It's like he vanished into thin air." Charlie felt amused as he listened to his father-in-law's remarks.
Previously, Zachary was trying to curry favor with him, that was why he spent a lot of money to collect sjunk from Jacob. This was but a transaction without any benefit. 6 If he kept doing this losing-money business with Jacob, he wouldn't have enough money in the world to fill this bottomless pit that was Jacob. ' Hence, it was purely his survival instinct to avoid Jacob at all costs, which was why it would be extremely difficult for Jacob to find him now.
Not believing a word Jacob said, Elaine growled coldly, "Come, showyour mobile banking account and all your e-wallet! Letsee the balance!" Jacob huffed in frustration, "Why do you want to check my accounts? When you lost all the family's money, I asked you to showthe balance and you refused to, defending yourself as if your life was at stake! Why would you askto show you the balance now?!" 6 Elaine shouted furiously, "Oh, you don't want to show it to me, do you? Fine! I'll go to your association with my crutches and curse you right in front of your friends! I, Elaine Wilson, walk the talk!" 5 Jacob shuddered in fear and hurriedly said, "Fine, fine, I'll show you!"
With that, he took out his phone, opened his mobile banking account and e-wallets one by one, showing them to Elaine.
After Elaine browsed through them. all, she was filled with disappointment. "Oh my God, Jacob Wilson, what do you do every day? You only have ten thousand plus, everything combined! You're a fifty-year-old man, are you not ashamed of yourself to be so pathetically poor?" 8
Jacob's face flushed and turned pale alternately. He grumbled in dismay, "Whose f*cking fault is it? You, f* eking shrew! You lost all of my life's savings! I wouldn't have been so poor had it not been for you!" A dash of embarrassment flashed across Elaine's face, but she quickly spruced up. "It's your manly duty to go out goout! and make money! Since all the EM money is gone, you should find a way to make some! What's the f*cking point of being in the sh*thole association anyway? You might as well work at a restaurant and earn ssalary by being a waiter. You can still earn two to three thousand a month at least!" Jacob stomped furiously. "Elaine, I'm an executive director of the Aurous Hill Painting and Calligraphy Association! How can you ask me, an executive board member, to be a waiter at a restaurant?" 2 "What the f*ck is an executive director?! If you can't make money from the position, it's nothing!" Elaine growled exasperatedly, "Listen to me, when my leg gets better and I fix my teeth, I'll have to go out every day to party with friends, play mahjong, do my facial, eat, and X
