Chapter 622


    At this moment, the gleeful Jacob said, "Oh yes, dear, give me twenty grand. I want to have a get-


    together tomorrow.” 3


    "A get-together?" ine asked nervously, "Why do you need twenty grand for a get-together?! Did


    you invite the president?" 2


    "I joined the Aurous Calligraphy and Painting Association, I''ve told you that, remember? Now,


    there''s a vacancy for the executive director of the association and I want it! So, I''d like to invite the


    chairman and other directors to dinner to enhance our rtionship." 1


    Then, he added with a smug look, "If I''m elected as one of the executive directors, I''ll be popr in


    the antique social group in the city!" 2


    ine shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? Why do you need twenty grand for a dinner? Do you really


    think w e own a money printer at home? No, I don''t allow you t 0!” 9


    Jacob hurriedly said, "Oh, dear, I just want to climb thedder one step at a time! Once I be


    the director, I will have more opportunities to get in touch with the rare and precious antiques and


    there will be chances for me to grab treasures at bargain prices! You''ve seen how good I am at this,


    I''ve made hundreds of thousands with the same tactic!" 3


    ine was feeling guilty about the money, but she pretended an enraged tone and said, "But still,


    you can''t spend twenty grand on a dinner banquet! Do you think our money grows on trees?" 2


    Jacob was annoyed. "With every penny I spend, I''ll earn it back in the future! Or you just consider


    this as a loan, huh? Is that okay?" 2


    ine condemned contemptuously, "Hah, do you think I don’t know how lousy you actually are? So


    what if you be a director, you still can''t earn peanuts! I think you''re bing more and more


    like Charlie-you’re also turning into a big liar who deceives people all day long!" 5


    "Argh, why do you look down on me so much?"

    "Yeah, I look down on you, so what? You want money, don''t you? Look at my lips. No!" 1


    Then, she turned and barged into her room, pretending to be angry. 4


    Jacob was utterly confused and irritated.


    What was wrong with that woman? Why couldn''t she give him the money? Part of the money was


    his too!


    He was about to go to the room to begin another argument when Charlie stopped him and said with


    a smile, "Dad, if Mom doesn''t want to give you the


    money, you know whatever you do would be useless." 3


    Jacob huffed, annoyed, "But I''ve already told them that I want to invite them for a get-together! I


    only have a


    thousand plus in my pocket, it isn''t enough!"


    Then, he added, "The president said that there is a great chance I’ll be appointed as the director. It


    all depends on my performance!"


    Charlie sighed quietly.


    He was fully aware of how miserable his father-inw was in terms of verifying antiquities. He was


    the purest idiot of them all who had been scammed so many times and lost a lot of money. The only


    time he had earned money from trading antiques was from Zachary. 2


    He heard that Zachary was avoiding Jacob at all costs, ignoring his phone calls and messages. He


    would even ditch his shop and escape when he bumped into Jacob in Antique Street. 2


    Jacob was in the association with a sole purpose-to make up the number.


    But of course, he wouldn’t say such things out loud. Instead, he said, "Dad, I still have some pocket


    money, I''ll transfer twenty grand to you right away." 2


    Jacob was delighted. "Oh, my dear son-inw, you''re the best! Thank you! You''ve done me a great


    favor!" 1


    Charlie sighed as he transferred the money and said," Alright, ire ising back soon, I''ll start


    making dinner."


    Jacob smiled gleefully when he received the money and said in a coy tone, "My dear son-inw, let


    me


    help you!"
