The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1418

Hence, 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, tell me the truth. How much money do you have right now? Did you go behind my back and make some money 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 income from the Painting and Calligraphy Association! Previously, I was able to make some money 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 some extra 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 help me fetch 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 some junk 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. ’
