Chapter 1418


    Hence, Jacob hastily conceded and said, "You! Can you please stop solving everything by making a


    scene?" i


    ine chided in a cold voice, "Well, you said it yourself that you''re in charge of the family now, and I


    don’t have the right anymore. If I don''t make a scene, what can I do to establish my status in this


    family?” 1


    Jacob voluntarily backed down and said, "Okay, fine, I misspoke. You have the right to dominate the


    family. Are you happy now?” 6


    A triumphant grin appeared on ine''s face as she said, "Now that you say so, I must exercise my


    right and power. Jacob, tell me the truth. How much money do you have right now? Did you go


    behind my back and make some money by reselling the antiquities?" 6


    Jacob said with a grimace of exasperation, "I’m making sh*t! That''s what I’m making! Oh my


    goodness, frankly, I don’t have a f*cking penny in my pocket now! There’s no way to generate


    ie from the Painting and Calligraphy Association! Previously, I was able to make some money


    by reselling antiques, but I don''t have that luck now. I’ve recently received a few cheap calligraphy


    paintings that I thought I could resell for some extra ie, but I''m barking up at the wrong tree. I


    bought them for several thousand dors each, and it turns out they''re nothing but sh*tty


    artworks that aren''t even worth a hundred dors."


    Then, Jacob let out a long sigh before continuing in a morose tone, "I don''t know where that


    Zachary is now. I can''t find him anywhere. In the past, he was always able to help me fetch a good


    price for my things, but now, I can’t find him even if I tried looking for him everywhere. It''s like he


    vanished into thin air."


    Charlie felt amused as he listened to his father-inw''s remarks.


    Previously, Zachary was trying to curry favor with him, that was why he spent a lot of money to


    collect some junk from Jacob. This was but a transaction without any benefit. 6


    If he kept doing this losing-money business with Jacob, he wouldn''t have enough money in the


    world to fill this bottomless pit that was Jacob. ’


    Hence, it was purely his survival instinct to avoid Jacob at all costs, which was why it would be


    extremely difficult for Jacob to find him now.

    Not believing a word Jacob said, ine growled coldly, "Come, show me your mobile banking


    ount and all your e-wallet! Let me see the bnce!"


    Jacob huffed in frustration, "Why do you want to check my ounts? When you lost all the family''s


    money, I asked you to show me the bnce and you refused to, defending yourself as if your life


    was at stake! Why would you ask me to show you the bnce now?!" 6


    ine shouted furiously, "Oh, you don’t want to show i t to me, do you? Fine! I''ll go to your


    association with m y crutches and curse you right in front of your friends! I, ine Wilson, walk the


    talk!" 5


    Jacob shuddered in fear and hurriedly said, "Fine, fine, I''ll show you!"


    With that, he took out his phone, opened his mobile banking ount and e-wallets one by one,


    showing them to ine.


    After ine browsed through them all, she was filled with disappointment. "Oh my God, Jacob


    Wilson, what do you do every day? You only have ten thousand plus, everythingbined! You''re a


    fifty-year-old man, are you not ashamed of yourself to be so pathetically poor?" 8


    Jacob’s face flushed and turned pale alternately. He grumbled in dismay, "Whose f*cking fault is it?


    You, f* eking shrew! You lost all of my life''s savings! I wouldn''t have been so poor had it not been for


    you!"


    A dash of embarrassment shed across ine''s face, but she quickly spruced up. "It''s your manly


    duty to go out and make money! Since all the money is gone, you should find a way to make some!


    What’s the f*cking point of being in the sh*thole association anyway? You might as well work at a


    restaurant and earn some sry by being a waiter. You can still earn two to three thousand a month


    at least!"


    Jacob stomped furiously. "ine, I''m an executive director of the Aurous Hill Painting and


    Calligraphy Association! How can you ask me, an executive board member, to be a waiter at a


    restaurant?" 2 "What the f*ck is an executive director?! If you can’t make money from the position,


    it''s nothing!" ine growled exasperatedly, "Listen to me, when my leg gets better and I fix my


    teeth, I''ll have to go out every day to party with friends, y mahjong, do my facial, eat, and sing, all


    of which can cost money! So you''d better figure out a way to earn some money back! If I don’t have


    money to go out and join my friends, I''ll be pestering you every day!"
