“Absolutely, it’s true,” Charlie affirmed.
With a cheerful nod, he added in a serious tone, “But I have just one request: while I’m away, please don’t argue with Dad!”
ine responded without a moment’s hesitation, patting her chest confidently. “Don’t worry, my dear son-inw! I won’t quarrel with him at all! If you gave Mom a million, she would hardly be home except to sleep. If he tries to pick a fight, I won’t give him the chance!” Jacob overheard this.
In truth, Jacob was considering giving ine that million, which only fueled his envy and jealousy.
Despite earning a modest ie from the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it was barely enough to meet his needs.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
As the executive vice-president, he often found himself in situations where he had to cater to others. Plus, driving around in a Cullinan every day meant his expenses were far higher than those of an average car. The gas alone cost several thousand each month, leaving him financially stretched every month.
However, Jacob didn’t have the same boldness as ine. He always felt that his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, his ability to drive a Cullinan, and even living in a luxurious vi in Tangchen were all thanks to Charlie. It was Charlie’s capabilities that made it all possible.
Thus, he felt too embarrassed to ask Charlie for money again.
But seeing how casually ine mentioned a million dors left him feeling quite down.
He began contemting whether he should reach out to Charlie and see if he could express his own needs.
However, the thought of having just overheard ine ask for money, then turning around to do the same made him feel a bit awkward.
In that moment, Charlie wasted no time and used his mobile banking app to transfer one million to ine.
Despite having had his share of frustrations with ine in the past, his current approach was simply to be polite as long as she didn’t act out of line. A small gesture of a million didn’t bother him at all.
Before long, ine received a notification from her bank that the one million had arrived. She immediately burst into joyful dancing and eximed to Charlie with a grateful smile, “Oh, my wonderful son-inw! Mom has received the money! Thank you so much!” Charlie smiled back and reminded her,<fnb300> The source of th?s content is FιndNovel</fnb300>
“Mom, don’t forget your promise to me: no more arguing with Dad while I’m away.”
ine raised her right hand in a solemn vow, “Don’t worry, my good son-inw! While you’re gone, I promise to keep the peace. If he starts anything, just remember, he’s the one who brought me into this world, ine!”
Charlie nodded, “Alright, Mom. You get back to what you were doing; I’ll go pack my things.”
ine quickly interjected, “Oh, my dear son-inw, what do you need to pack? Let Mom help you! You just rx in the living room!”
Charlie chuckled, “No, Mom, I prefer to do things myself rather than chat too much. Besides, you might not know where some things are, so I’ll handle it.”
With that said, he turned to head upstairs.
Jacob, who had been holding back his feelings, couldn’t contain himself any longer as Charlie was about to leave. He blurted out, “Oh, my dear son-inw, wait a moment…”
Charlie turned around to ask, “Dad, what’s on your mind?”
Jacob quickly nced at ine beside him, then back at Charlie, looking as if he had just tasted something extraordinary yet couldn’t quite savor it, coveting what seemed out of reach.
Charlie immediately sensed something was off with Jacob. After just having transferred a million to ine, he could guess what Jacob was scheming.
ine wasn’t oblivious either. Noticing Jacob’s sly nce, she quickly interjected, “Listen, Jacob, you must not ask my good son-inw for money! Can’t you earn it yourself? What kind of vice-president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association goes begging for cash from his son-inw?”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
