The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 414

After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first, then followed by Claire who had been busy at work the whole day.

After all the food was served on the table, Elaine hurried back happily and said proudly, "Hey guys, I won more than seven grand from playing cards today!"

Jacob gasped reflexively, "Wow, dear, that's awesome! Seven grand a day, that's two hundred and ten grand a month!” 3

Claire frowned, displeased. "Mom, I don’t mind if you play cards occasionally in your leisure time and a little winning is understandable too, but seven grand a day? Isn't that a bit too much? Careful not to get addicted, it's very risky!"

Elaine waved her hand in disdain and snapped, "Hey, I know what I'm doing, don't you come to lecture me about it. My card mates are a bunch of rookies, they are far worse than me. I can win even with my eyes closed! Don’t you know your mom's nickname around here? The Queen of Cards, that's me!" 5

Claire sighed helplessly and massaged her forehead, ignoring her.

In the middle of dinner, an incoming message notification beeped on Claire's phone. She looked at it

and asked Charlie, "It's the weekend tomorrow, do you have any plans?"

"Plans? The usual-going to the market, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning the house."

"Loreen messaged me, saying that she's booked a suite at the hot spring hotel and she's asking us to join her. I'll say yes if you don't have any special plans."

"What? Hot springs? And you want me to go too?" 4

Claire nodded. "She booked a two-room suite just to invite us, we'll take a room and she has a room by herself. She said that she hasn't had a chance to invite us for a getaway after being here for so long." 1

Elaine spruced up alarmingly and blurted, "Claire! It’s a girls-only trip, why do you want Charlie to go? No, he can't go! He has to stay at home and do the household chores!” 2
