The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 2028

Jenson eyed him skeptically. “Do you really not know about Madam Nephele’s identity?”

Jacob replied, “I don’t.”

Jenson let out a slight smile. “You do look like you’re unaware of this, Grandpa Jacob. However…”

Jenson’s gaze shifted to the renovated compartments in the basement and asked, “Do you not know about these renovated compartments either, Grandpa Jacob?”

Jacob was startled for a moment before shaking his head hard.

“I don’t.”

Jenson said, “No one is allowed to renovate Tourmaline Estate in private. If you wanted to renovate this place, you’d need to get permission from the head of the household. Do you know what sort of punishment you’ll receive if someone from Mammoth Courtyard breaks the rules?”

“I do. It’s just a punishment, isn’t it? If anyone renovates the basement, they’ll have to pay a 500,000 dollar fine…”

Jenson sneered and teased, “Are you very familiar with the rules, Grandpa Jacob? I wonder if you can recite the other rules?”

There was a flash of panic in Jacob’s eyes.

Jenson flashed a smile. “There's many a slip between the cup and the lip, Grandpa Jacob.”

Jacob was dumbfounded.

Had Jenson realized he was lying?

“To be honest with you, Jens, I was aware that Nephele renovated the basement and I gave her permission to do it, but I didn’t know why she wanted to renovate the basement. I overindulged her and catered to her every whim…”

Jenson cut him off directly and said, “Can you take me to Grandma Charlotte, Grandpa Jacob?”

Jacob looked as though he was placed in a difficult situation. “Grandma Charlotte isn’t feeling so well.”
