The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 647

Charlie truly felt like laughing when he saw Elaine's performance.

He knew that Elaine was really short of money right now. She usually spent a lot of money all by herself, but she had to be very sad now that all of her money was completely exhausted.

Now, Elaine felt even more depressed when she saw that Jacob was going to The Heaven Springs for dinner tonight. 1
