With a weary sigh directed at Jacob, Charlie shook his head in resignation. This elderly man truly has never experienced much of the world. His passion for antiques seems limited to fakes, and his tea-drinking habits are no different.


    The root of Jacob’s situation lies in his low standing within the Wilson family. Previously overlooked by the Lady, he had also spent years being sidelined by ine. His life has been filled with challenges and financial struggles, showing little sign of improvement.


    Fortunately, Jacob possesses amendable personality. If he were anyone else, he might have sumbed to despair and hopelessness.<fnc469> Follow current nov?ls on FindN0vel</fnc469>


    Meanwhile, while Charlie’s family enjoyed the finest teas, Hannah was next door in Vi A04, preparing lunch for her own family.


    Due to a previous rtionship with the ck coal kiln supervisor, which left Christopher infected, Hannah found herself increasingly marginalized within the family.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, with Donald’s support, the Wilson family was cautious not to take any drastic actions against her.


    Initially, Hannah tried to win over Lady Wilson and Christopher through various gestures, hoping for their forgiveness. She even went as far as preparing an borate abalone dinner for Christopher and purchasing expensive king crabs to help him regain his health. Despite her past mistakes, her intentions were genuine.


    Unfortunately, Hannah soon realized that her efforts were met with indifference, leading her to adopt a more resigned attitude.


    Recently, after Donald invested in the Wilson Group, the business was revitalized. Thanks to his assistance, they finally regained their footing, and the Wilson family returned to their roles within thepany.


    Mrs. Wilson remained the matriarch, Christopher took on the role of general manager, while Harold and Wendy served as business directors.


    The four of them nowmuted together to work every day, which only deepened Hannah’s feelings of alienation.


    At this point, Hannah’s role in the household had devolved into that of a caretaker, as she handledundry and cooking for the family daily.


    Having just finished preparing a meal, she took off her apron and copsed onto the sofa, feeling exhausted as she scrolled through her phone.


    As she aimlessly browsed her social media feed, she stumbled upon a post from ine. Spotting ine unting a collection of Hermes bags only added to Hannah’s frustration.


    “This ine is such a show-off! Who cares about a few Hermes bags?” she muttered to herself, irritation bubbling up.


    After venting her frustrations, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of discontent.


    “ine has a supportive son-inw like Charlie, while I have… what do I even have?”


    “A husband? He yells at me, belittles me, and threatens divorce. If it weren’t for Mr. Webb, this old tortoise would have kicked me out long ago.”


    “And the Lady? She’s anything but helpful! If Donald hadn’t kept her in check, I’m sure she would have tried to do me in!”


    “My son? He’s useless—good at bragging but incapable of anything meaningful. I can’t depend on him for anything.”


    “As for Wendy… I wish she were still with Gerald White. Regardless of the situation, she could have at least remained in Keh Wilson’s good graces. Now, her reputation is tarnished, and whether she’ll marry or find someone decent is a big question mark.”


    “What can I even hope for in my life? Who would ever buy me a Hermes bag?”


    Lost in these thoughts, Hannah felt a wave of sadness wash over her, and tears began to stream down her cheeks as memories of her struggles flooded her mind.
