The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2017

At this time, when Elaine, who was standing on the balcony on the third floor, saw Lady Wilson asking Wendy to send the group of police officers off, she grinned as she said, "Oh! Old lady, weren’t you planning to call the police to arrest your eldest daughter-in-law? Why? Has your heart gone soft again? It seems as though you really seem to have a soft spot for your eldest daughter-in-law!" 4

Lady Wilson was already feeling very uncomfortable a t this time. Therefore, when she heard Elaine chattering on the other side, she instantly got angry and frustrated, and she started cursing, "Elaine, my family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Stop chirping all day and being so annoying here."

"Oh! You think that I am annoying?" Elaine sneered as she said, "Don't live next door to our house if you think that I am annoying!"

As she spoke, Elaine sneered as she said, "Yesterday, I heard Jacob saying that you got a job at the supermarket now? That's not bad, old lady. You have not done anything throughout your life, but now that you are old, you are finally working hard to build up your career. However, I heard that your career seems t o be quite boring. I heard that you are simply in charge of pulling some plastic bags at the supermarket!" 6

Lady Wilson was extremely furious, and she rebuked her sternly, "I can do anything that I want to. What has it got to do with you, anyway? Is it truly necessary for you to be criticizing me here?"

Elaine smiled as she said, "Whatever you do really has nothing to do with me at all. I was simply lamenting because an old woman like you would actually end up in this state today." 7

As she spoke, Elaine laughed before she sighed and said, "Oh, just forget it! Since you are already so poor t o the point that you have to go and work in the supermarket, why should I continue holding grudges against someone like you? Both of us do not belong to the same world anymore. I am living a life that you can never even dream of now. I am simply wasting my time and saliva talking to you because you will never b e able to comprehend what I am trying to say. So, I can only wish you good luck now."

Lady Wilson was so angry and furious because of Elaine’s words, and she ground her teeth before she said, "Elaine! You'd better be more careful when there i s thunder and lightning! You will certainly be struck t o death by lightning sooner or later!" 7

Elaine laughed before she said, "You are an old woman who is always doing bad things. Besides oppressing your own two sons and maintaining full control of the financial power of the family, you are selling your own granddaughter's body in exchange for a life filled with prosperity and wealth. In my opinion, if God is truly all-knowing, the chances of you getting struck to death by lightning is certainly much greater compared to my chances of getting struck to death by lightning! Even if you get struck to death by lightning eight times, I would not get struck by lightning at all!” 5

Lady Wilson felt as though she was on the verge of collapse. She stomped her feet angrily before she cursed, "You... you should stop talking bullsh*t here!" 1
