The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 753

Elaine was utterly shocked by Jacob's raucous grunt!

She knew that, at this moment, she couldn’t keep the secret anymore, so she mumbled in a sheepish and shaky voice, "Dear, I'm sorry, I lost all our money in the mahjong..." 6

She didn't dare to tell the truth about Hannah being the mastermind behind the scam, because she knew that if the Wilson family knew about her involvement i n the scam despite being a victim, they would come to her first since they were looking for Hannah frantically.

Of course, she was not doing this to protect Charlie, she simply didn't want to invite trouble for herself. All those people were reported as missing persons after Albert sent them to the coal mine, she feared that she might be dragged into this mess if an investigation was executed regarding their missing status.

Thus, she could only say that she lost the money on gambling but not the scamming part. 1

Jacob was up in arms about her confession that she lost more than two million in mahjong that he slapped her hard in the face and shouted, "Damn you, f*cking woman! How could you?! How could you possibly lose more than two million? Do you know how long it took us to save that much?" 7

This was the very first time Elaine was physically beaten after marrying Jacob for decades. The slap on her face was so relentless and unexpected that it made her stun in a daze! 6

Elaine covered her swelling cheek for a short while before regaining her composure and howled in agitation, "Jacob Wilson! How dare you slap me?!" 2

"Huh!" Jacob gritted his teeth in great dismay. "Take this, f*cking woman!"

Then, he raised his hand and slapped her face again. 5
