The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 79

Thrilled and overjoyed, Charlie quickly stuffed the Apocalyptic Book into his pocket, but the book instantly turned into powder and disappeared into thin air. 4

Miraculously, every word in the book was clearly imprinted in Charlie's brain. 4

At this moment, Jacob, who ran away like a coward, was brutally apprehended by several big and strong men and was hurled back to the shop. 3

Looking at his puffy and swelling cheeks, Charlie figured that he must have been beaten vigorously before he was carried back here. 1

Charlie found Jacob’s piteous look very funny and amusing, i

How dare this old coot label him as a scapegoat after getting into trouble! It was outrageous! A little beating was necessary as a punishment for him to learn his lesson. 3

Jacob was in a particularly dreaded and shaky position right now. Due to his desperate escape earlier, he was panting profusely like a dog, trying to catch his breath. 3

His chubby and fragile body made it impossible for him to outrun those young people. Besides, he didn't have the car key, how did he expect he could escape

from this place? 2

Thus, it only took those guys a short while to catch him. His hands were tied behind his back, his face was swollen from a few slaps. It was extremely embarrassing and miserable to the sight. 3

As Jacob was taken back to the shop, Raymond, the manager, gritted his teeth in dismay and said, "Old man, do you think you can run away after smashing our things? Learn about our Vintage Deluxe's background before you do something so stupid!" 1

Jacob stuttered in horror, "I didn't mean it, the vase was too slippery..."

Raymond growled coldly, "Shut the f*ck up! I’ll give you an afternoon to get your money ready. If you can't afford it, I'll sue you for deliberately damaging my property! The case value of five million dollars is more than enough for you to stay in prison forever!" 5

Jacob trembled in fright. He turned to Charlie and clung on him like he was a life-saving boat. "Charlie, m y good son-in-law! You must help me! You can't let them do this to me!" 3

Charlie shrugged helplessly. "But, Dad, I don't have that much money."
