Claire cout of the bedroom as she stretched her waist and asked Charlie, "Do you have something on today?" 2

Charlie replied, "I am going to attend a friend's birthday party later at noon.” 1

After that, Charlie asked Claire, "Wife, did you need something?"

Claire nodded slightly before she said, "Yes, | wanted to do sshopping, but if you're busy, you can go ahead and do your own thing! I will ask Doreen

to accompany me."

Charlie replied, "Sorry, my dear wife. You can go shopping with Doreen today. | will accompany you sother day."

Claire smiled slightly as she said, "Okay, then."

Charlie's mother-in-law, Elaine, had a very black face a s she said, "Oh, Charlie, are you going to attend your friend's birthday party? Is he old?" 3

Charlie nodded as he said, "Yes, he is eighty years old."

Elaine sneered before she said, "Are you trying to use your set of silly skills to try and fool those old men so that

you can cheat them out of all their money?"

Charlie simply replied, "I did not lie to anyone."

"You are still pretending even now?" Elaine said as she snorted coldly. "Are there any more wealthy and powerful

figures in Aurous Hill that have not been fooled by you yet? Lettell you something. | can already predict your

future. You are no different from those fortune-tellers from back then. Only two futures are awaiting you. You will

either end up in prison or get hacked to death!" 7

Elaine had been very upset with Charlie recently. The main reason was simply because Charlie has donated all of

the money she had lost to Linda and Hannah to the Hope Foundation. 1 Now, her pockets were even cleaner

than her face.

Even though her store-value card for the beauty salon had already been used up, she did not have the money to

top up the card to renew the beauty services. Elaine did not know how she was going to explain things to her

husband or daughter if they found out she had lost all the family money. 1

Elaine felt that Charlie was the main culprit behind this matter! 5

Therefore, she was naturally very unhappy with Charlie. 3

When Jacob heard Elaine targeting Charlie again, he hurriedly stood up to defend him as he said," Seriously, why

are you doing this again? What did Charlie ever do to you? Don't you think that Charlie has really done well to

prove himself during this time?" 5

"What a load of crap!" Elaine did not know that when Jacob had attended a gathering with his old classmates not

too long ago, he had managed to save himself a lot of face because of Charlie. 1 When Elaine saw her husband

speaking up for Charlie, she started cursing immediately, "Jacob, don't be fooled by this guy over here!

Otherwise, you will not even know when you have already been sold out by him!" 1

Jacob was too lazy to be bothered with Elaine. Instead, he simply handed his BMW car keys over to Charlie

before he said, "Charlie, Dad has already reserved a room at The Heaven Springs for dinner tonight | will be

having dinner with the leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. | will definitely be drinking a little with

them, so | don't think that I will be able to drive hlater. Can you keep my car keys so that you can cand

pickup from The Heaven Springs later tonight?" 1

Charlie nodded slightly before he took the car keys and asked, "Dad, what tshould | pick you up?"

Jacob replied, "We have already made an appointment to meet up for dinner at seven o'clock. | think that we

should be done by about half-past eight to nine o'clock. You can cto The Heaven Springs to wait forat

half-past eight tonight." 1

"Okay."

As soon as Charlie had agreed to pick Jacob up, Elaine anxiously asked, "Jacob! Are you going to treat your

guests to dinner at The Heaven Springs tonight?

Where did you get so much money?"

Jacob did not dare to say that Charlie

was the one who had given him the

money. Therefore, ke @©orted” !

Elaine becvery furious, and she blurted out, "I can already go to the beauty salon to do several face and body treatments with twenty thousand

dollars! Why do you have to use so much money just to entertain sguests for dinner?" 2

Jacob retorted, "I've never once stopped you when you go to the beauty salon and spend ten to twenty thousand dollars there every month! You are also

keeping our family's savings of more than two million dollars in your bank account. You can spend your money, and | can spend my own money. Why are

you still trying to control what | do with my own money?" 2

Elaine was startled when Jacob suddenly mentioned the family's savings.

Their family savings of two million dollars was indeed supposed to be in her bank account, but now, it had already been donated to the Hope Foundation!

She did not even have money to go to a beauty salon for facials anymore! 1 X
