    Everyone erupted inughter when the big reveal happened! No one could have imagined such an incredible twist in the tale!


    Jake eximed, “Wow, Uncle Wilson, you’re amazing! You’re like the star of a romantic film who breaks up with his college sweetheart only to end up marrying his rival! Hahaha!”


    Though Charlie wasn’t in a position toment, he couldn’t help but find the entire situation absolutely hrious.


    He never imagined his parents-inw had such a background. ine was unapologetically herself. Not only did she get Jacob tipsy, but she also took things a step further with him! What a cunning move!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As theirughter subsided, the men began to feel a bit sorry for Jacob and started offering him words of encouragement and support.


    Aaron kept a watchful eye on Jacob and chuckled, “Don’t feel too sorry for Jacob just yet. ine had a pretty tough time marrying him!”


    The group looked confused. “What was so tough about it? She got to marry Jacob. Isn’t that enough?”


    Aaron sighed and replied, “Oh, there’s a lot you don’t know. ine had her sights set on marrying rich kids, dreaming of a life of luxury after tying the knot. That’s why she fell for Jacob—his family was quite wealthy at the time…”


    Then he shifted to a mocking tone and added, “But who would have guessed that Jacob would turn out to be so unambitious after graduation? He didn’t receive any resources or attention from his family, and over the years, their status started to decline. ine’s dream of being a rich man’s wife was crushed! Little did she know she was marrying a deadbeat!”


    Jacob felt embarrassed as Aaron spilled the beans, his face turning a deep shade of red as he shouted, “Aaron Philips, I’m warning you, stay out of my business!”


    Aaron scoffed, “Come on, everyone in Aurous Hill is already aware of your family’s troubles! Do you really think they wouldn’t know if I kept quiet?”


    He raised his voice, “Originally, your family was influential, so you could still get by using your family’s name. But now, your family’s reputation is shot. You’re just a loser who can’t make a living, ine spends her days ying mahjong without a proper job, and your son-inw is just azy moocher. Your entire family relies solely on your daughter’s ie! I can’t help but wonder what kind of karma your daughter faced in her past life to end up in such a useless family with a loser husband. It’s pitiful!”


    Charlie became visibly upset at the mention of ire.


    He could handle the teasing aimed at him or his inws, but he wouldn’t tolerate anyments about ire.


    After all, she was his wife.


    With a frown, he said, “Uncle Philips, mind your own business. Stop meddling in other people’s affairs.”


    Aaron shot him a disdainful look. “Why? I’m just showing concern for your family. Am I wrong?”


    Then he stood up and boasted, “It’s really unfortunate for Jacob’s daughter to be stuck in such a dysfunctional family. Look at me—I’m in senior management at a petrochemicalpany. I make twenty thousand a month just by showing up for work. When I retire at sixty-five, I’ll have a pension of about twenty thousand and full medical coverage!”


    “My wife is a deputy manager at the samepany, earning fifteen thousand a month. When we both retire, our national pension will total forty thousand a month!”


    “Now, look at Jacob and ine. They’re in their fifties and don’t have steady jobs. They won’t even have pensions when they’re older. They’ll be a burden on society, won’t they?”


    Next, he pulled his son-inw beside him and said earnestly, “Now, take a look at my son-inw, the CEO of Aurous Continental Technology, which will soon be listed on the GEM! Hispany’s revenue is projected to reach one to two billion a year, making him one of the top entrepreneurs in Aurous Hill! This is what a sessful family looks like!”<fn00c3> Latest content published on fι?dnοvel</fn00c3>


    The room buzzed with ttering and envious remarks, everyone praising Aaron and Jake.


    Their family’s sess and financial stability were indeed admired by the crowd.


    Aaron soaked in the admiration, casting a disdainful re at Jacob and Charlie, thinking, ‘Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for! It’s just as satisfying as I imagined!’


    Yet, he failed to notice the sly smirk forming on Charlie’s lips.


    “Oh, so you and your wife work at a petrochemicalpany, and your son-inw is the CEO of Aurous Continental Technology? That’s good to know. I was a bit unsure about how to handle you, but thankfully, you’ve just handed me all the information I needed. Thank you for that.”
