Chapter 646


    ire came out of the bedroom as she stretched her waist and asked Charlie, "Do you have


    something on today?” 2


    Charlie replied, "I am going to attend a friend''s birthday partyter at noon." 1


    After that, Charlie asked ire, "Wife, did you need something?"


    ire nodded slightly before she said, "Yes, I wanted t o do some shopping, but if you''re busy, you


    can go ahead and do your own thing! I will ask Doreen to apany me."


    Charlie replied, "Sorry, my dear wife. You can go shopping with Doreen today. I will apany you


    some other day."


    ire smiled slightly as she said, "Okay, then."


    Charlie''s mother-inw, ine, had a very ck face a s she said, "Oh, Charlie, are you going to


    attend your friend’s birthday party? Is he old?" 3


    Charlie nodded as he said, "Yes, he is eighty years old."


    ine sneered before she said, "Are you trying to use your set of silly skills to try and fool those old


    men so that you can cheat them out of all their money?"


    Charlie simply replied, "I did not lie to anyone."


    "You are still pretending even now?" ine said as she snorted coldly. "Are there any more wealthy


    and powerful figures in Aurous Hill that have not been fooled by you yet? Let me tell you something.


    I can already predict your future. You are no different from those fortune-tellers from back then. Only


    two futures are awaiting you. You will either end up in prison or get hacked to death!” 7


    ine had been very upset with Charlie recently. The main reason was simply because Charlie has


    donated all of the money she had lost to Linda and Hannah to the Hope Foundation. 1

    Now, her pockets were even cleaner than her face.


    Even though her store-value card for the beauty salon had already been used up, she did not have


    the money to top up the card to renew the beauty services. ine did not know how she was going


    to exin things to her husband or daughter if they found out she had lost all the family money. 1


    ine felt that Charlie was the main culprit behind this matter! 5


    Therefore, she was naturally very unhappy with Charlie. 3


    When Jacob heard ine targeting Charlie again, he hurriedly stood up to defend him as he said,"


    Seriously, why are you doing this again? What did Charlie ever do to you? Don''t you think that


    Charlie has really done well to prove himself during this time?" 5


    "What a load of crap!" ine did not know that when Jacob had attended a gathering with his old


    ssmates not too long ago, he had managed to save himself a lot of face because of Charlie. 1


    When ine saw her husband speaking up for Charlie, she started cursing immediately, "Jacob,


    don’t be fooled by this guy over here! Otherwise, you will not even know when you have already


    been sold out by him!" 1


    Jacob was toozy to be bothered with ine. Instead, he simply handed his BMW car keys over to


    Charlie before he said, "Charlie, Dad has already reserved a room at The Heaven Springs for


    dinner tonight. I will b e having dinner with the leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. I


    will definitely be drinking a little with them, so I don''t think that I will be able to drive hometer. Can


    you keep my car keys so that you cane and pick me up from The Heaven Springster


    tonight?" 1


    Charlie nodded slightly before he took the car keys and asked, "Dad, what time should I pick you


    up?"


    Jacob replied, "We have already made an appointment to meet up for dinner at seven o''clock. I


    think that we should be done by about half-past eight to nine o''clock. You cane to The Heaven


    Springs to wait for me at half-past eight tonight.” 1


    "Okay."


    As soon as Charlie had agreed to pick Jacob up, ine anxiously asked, "Jacob! Are you going to


    treat your guests to dinner at The Heaven Springs tonight?


    Where did you get so much money?"


    Jacob did not dare to say that Charlie was the one who had given him the money. Therefore, he


    retorted immediately, "Why do you care so much about the origins of my money? I am not spending


    your money anyway!" 1


    ine replied angrily, "Don''t you know that it will cost you at least twenty to thirty thousand dors


    just to book a room to host a dinner at The Heaven Springs? D o you have so much money to


    waste?” 2


    Jacob said angrily, "I''ve already told you a long time ago that I want topete for the position of


    the standing director. What is twenty or thirty thousand dors for a meal? Besides, I am not


    spending any of your money at all!" 1


    ine became very furious, and she blurted out, "I can already go to the beauty salon to do several


    face and body treatments with twenty thousand dors! Why d 0 you have to use so much money


    just to entertain some guests for dinner?" 2


    Jacob retorted, "I’ve never once stopped you when you go to the beauty salon and spend ten to


    twenty thousand dors there every month! You are also keeping our family''s savings of more than


    two million dors in your bank ount. You can spend your money, and I can spend my own


    money. Why are you still trying to control what I do with my own money?" 2


    ine was startled when Jacob suddenly mentioned the family''s savings.


    Their family savings of two million dors was indeed supposed to be in her bank ount, but now,


    it had already been donated to the Hope Foundation!


    She did not even have money to go to a beauty salon for facials anymore! 1


    How great would it be if she could use the twenty thousand dors that Jacob was going to spend


    on food on her facials at the beauty salon instead?
