As Charlie noticed ire’s distress, he offered her a reassuring smile. “Don’t fret about the vi, my dear wife. Mr. White has no intention of causing any trouble over it.”


    Jacob shook his head vehemently. “No, Charlie. Remember thest time you assisted the Quinton family with their Feng Shui issue? You spent a staggering one hundred million dors of their money just for a bid on that mshell. And now, the White family is gifting you a vi as a token of gratitude! Both families hold significant prestige in Aurous Hill, and I worry they mighte to regret this and demand everything back!”


    He pressed further, “You should return the vi to the White family promptly. Otherwise, we could all be in serious trouble if they decide to hold us ountable!”


    At that moment, Charlie’s mother-inw interjected, “What do you mean?! Why should we give the vi back to the White family? Mr. Zeke was the one who bestowed this vi upon Charlie. He didn’t steal it! This vi is going to be our future home!”


    ine could hardly believe that she was finally in a position to live in such avish vi. Now, Jacob was suggesting her son-inw return it? To her, that felt like a death sentence.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ire sighed, “Mom! We shouldn’t be epting gifts like this! It’s bound to lead toplications down the road.”


    “Complications? Nonsense!” ine retorted, ncing at Charlie. “Oh, Charlie, I never realized how capable you truly are! Who would have thought you could acquire such a magnificent vi for us to enjoy?”


    Beaming, ine eximed, “I really have an amazing son-inw! You should have started giving Feng Shui advice to others sooner. We could have been wealthy ages ago!”<fnbe40> The rightful source is Find★Novel</fnbe40>


    Unable to contain his frustration any longer, Jacob interjected. “Wife! This isn’t solely about the vi! Even if Charlie genuinely provided Feng Shui consultation, it’s still inappropriate for him to ept something like this. If the White family changes their mind, we’ll be in a precarious situation!”


    ine, incensed by Jacob’s words, sprang to her feet. “Don’t give me those ridiculous excuses! I’ve endured a life of struggle and poverty with you! Now that I finally have a chance to live in luxury, you want me to give it up? Jacob, if you pressure Charlie to relinquish this vi, I’ll divorce you on the spot!”


    Jacob was left speechless, caught off guard by ine’s outburst. “You… you… you are the most materialistic woman I have ever known!”


    In his frustration, Jacob plopped down on the sofa, feeling defeated.


    Charlie smiled reassuringly. “Dad, there’s no need to worry. This vi isn’t going anywhere.”


    ine beamed with pride. “My wonderful son-inw, you truly are impressive!”


    As ine admired the vi, running her fingers over the exquisite antiques and calligraphy adorning the walls, she joyfully eximed, “Let Christopher show off all he wants! I’m the one living in this beautiful vi while his family can only manage a unit in a high-rise! Today is a day of happiness for me!”


    Seeing her mother so ecstatic, ire could no longer contain her curiosity. She pulled Charlie aside and whispered, “Charlie, please tell me what’s really happening.”


    Charlie, keeping his voice low, replied, “My dear ire, you don’t need to worry. This is a legitimate gift, and I didn’t deceive anyone to obtain it. However, I can’t exin everything right now. I promise to share the full details with you in the future.”


    “Alright, I trust you,” ire said after a moment’s thought. “But Charlie, I really don’t think you should continue providing Feng Shui advice to others. It makes my dad and me anxious.”


    Taking her hand, Charlie assured her, “Don’t worry, ire. I won’t do anything to cause you concern. Your dad is already pushing us to have a child. What would happen if something were to ur to me?”


    “Stop being silly.”


    ire blushed and gently withdrew her hand from Charlie’s grasp.


    Meanwhile, ine was bubbling with excitement as she made her way down the stairs.


    “Once I return from my trip next week, I’m going to invite everyone I know to see this marvelous new vi!”


    ire quickly interjected, “Mom! But this vi was given to Charlie…”


    ine replied confidently, “He is our son-inw, so whatever is given to him naturally belongs to us as well.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
