The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1971

Elaine had two sets of standards for measuring the value of items.

The first set was how much money this item could be exchanged for.

The second set was how much face she could gain through this item.

In her eyes, everything in this world, all-inclusive, ultimately came down to money and face in the final analysis.

For instance, when Charlie gave her the set of top-notch caviar skincare products, which was bought at a purchase price of nearly four hundred thousand dollars, she knew that it could be resold for at least three hundred thousand dollars. So, Elaine could clearly feel the weight and value of the three hundred thousand dollars. This was in line with her first set of standards because it was valuable!

Another example was the Hermes bag that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Elaine would not only be able to resell the bag for one hundred thousand dollars, but she could envy and hatred of others. Elaine could feel the weight and value of the bag that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars and also gain a lot of face from carrying it at the same time. This was in line with her second set of standards - face value.

At this time, Elaine looked at the blue and white porcelain vase as she thought to herself with a lack of interest, 'If this item could not be exchanged for money and if I cannot bring it out of the house to show it off to others, then how valuable could it be? This blue and white elephant ears porcelain vase looks like it is very valuable indeed, but I cannot sell it off, and I cannot bring it out to show off to anyone at all. So, in my eyes, this item is nothing but a worthless piece of garbage.' s

'Unless... I secretly bring it out and sell it someday; I could probably sell it for a few hundred thousand dollars.' 1

However, Elaine quickly changed her mind again as she thought, 'No, I cannot do that! Charlie already gave this set of antiques to Jacob. It does not matter if Jacob gets angry if I secretly sold it off, but it will be very difficult for me to handle Charlie if he gets angry.’ 2

As she thought about this, Elaine could only give up having any ideas about the pair of blue and white elephant ears porcelain vase with a dragon pattern on it. 2

At this time, Albert continued reading the gift list. 1
