The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 490

At half past seven in the morning, Charlie pretended that he had just woken up. After washing up, he went out to buy something before he came home. 2

Claire hurriedly headed to her office after eating breakfast. After that, Elaine put down the dishes before she dragged her husband, Jacob, out to visit the villa at Thompson First with her. She was already starting to lose her patience since it was taking such a long time for the renovations at the villa to be completed. 4

Jacob was very unwilling to go and he tried to persuade her, "There are several floors in the villa and it adds up to more than a thousand square meters.

The renovation and decorating job for the villa must b e really very laborious. It should probably take more than half a year for them to be done with the renovation works. It's useless even if you are anxious."

Elaine replied in a dissatisfied manner, "I don't care! I have already lived in this broken house for long enough. If the renovations aren’t completed by next month, then I'd rather sleep in the uncompleted villa instead of staying here a minute longer!" 4

After that, Elaine urged Jacob immediately, "Stop talking nonsense! Change out of your clothes and drive me over to have a look at the villa. Hurry up! Otherwise, I'll get rid of all the antiques you've brought

back home!” 2

Jacob did not pursue much in his life and the only thing that he was really interested in was antiques. Even though he was always getting scammed and even though he spent a lot of money buying plenty of useless items, he somehow felt that the things that he bought were in fact all very valuable. Even if they were not valuable at all now, he was certain that they would certainly be very valuable after waiting a few years. Therefore, he had always regarded all of his items as some sort of rare treasure.

Jacob immediately relented and gave in as soon as he heard Elaine threatening to throw all his treasures away. "Okay, okay. I’ll accompany you there, alright?” 3

Elaine pushed him before she said, "Then, what are you still waiting for? Hurry up and change into your clothes!" 2

Jacob cried out at this time, "I have not finished eating half of my crullers yet! Just let me finish my meal first!” 3

"Eat, eat, and eat! All you know how to do is to eat!" Elaine said out of annoyance. "You're becoming as useless as Charlie! All you do is eat and sleep, eat, and sleep! What other things have you done in your life?" 6

At this time, Jacob replied with a gloomy expression 0 n his face, "Okay, fine. I'll stop eating." 2
