Jacob felt a bit intimidated by ine’s fierce growl, but he mustered his courage and dered, “A straight foot has no fear of a crooked shoe!”


    ine shot him a sharp re and replied, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going out to y mahjong.”


    Standing up, she extended her hand toward Jacob and demanded, “Hand over your car key!”


    “What? Why do you need a car for mahjong? I want to use itter!” Jacob protested.


    ine rolled her eyes, her tone dripping with contempt as she retorted, “Why? Are you trying to impress your friends? Not a chance! Just give me the car key, now!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a heavy sigh, Jacob reluctantly handed her the car key, saying, “Drive carefully and don’t scratch it.”


    “Ugh, just shut up! If you annoy me again, I’ll drive your car right into the drain!” ine shot back, her irritation palpable.


    Though Jacob felt a wave of agitation, ine seemed satisfied, a triumphant smile spreading across her face as she donned her jacket and stepped out the door.<fn34ec> Discover more novels at fι?dnοvel</fn34ec>


    Once ine had left, Jacob sighed again and said, “Charlie, you’reing with me to the reunionter. Some of my friends will bring along some younger folks too.”


    “Alright, Dad,” Charlie replied, though he was less than enthusiastic about the outing.


    ire then handed her car key to Jacob and said, “Dad, why don’t you drive my car? I’ll just take a taxi to work.”


    “No way,” Jacob waved her off. “Your car is the worst model of the BMW 5 Series. My friends wouldugh at me if they saw it.”


    ire shrugged, tucking the key back into her bag. “Looks like you two will have to take a taxi then.”


    Charlie nodded but shot a sideways nce at Jacob, thinking, ‘Seriously? The old man is so vain! He finds ire’s 5 Series embarrassing? Doesn’t he realize it’s actually the gship 760?’


    Meanwhile, as ine made her way downstairs toward her car, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her.


    “Hey, ine, wait!”


    Turning to see who it was, she recognized Hannah, Christopher’s wife. ine was taken aback; she had recently enjoyed humiliating both Hannah and Christopher at Summer’s vi, and she hadn’t expected to run into her here.


    Curious, she asked, “Hannah, what brings you here?”


    The memory of the couple’s resentful expressions danced in ine’s mind, filling her with delight. Previously, she had worried about her pension being at risk if the Wilson family faced bankruptcy, but now, she found joy in hoping for their downfall.


    She had discovered a new source of amusement—mocking Christopher and Hannah!


    If the Wilson family wentpletely bankrupt, she could insult them every day!


    After all, Christopher and Hannah had long mocked her, and she was eager to repay them for all they had done!


    That’s why she felt quite pleased to see Hannah here, as if fate had delivered the loser right to her doorstep, especially when she felt the need to remind them of their past insults!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
