The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 178

It was Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine! 3

The person accompanying Elaine at this time was none other than her husband, Jacob! 1

Charlie and Claire were a little surprised at this time.

Why were they here? 2

Claire hurried forward before she asked, "Mom! Dad!

Why are you here?"

Elaine replied, "Your aunt and uncle called us to inform us of their intention to check out the houses at Thompson First as they’re intending to buy a house here. They invited us here to help them look around today.”

In fact, Elaine glared at Charlie as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this time. 2

Elaine did not want to come here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her daughter last night as she wanted to move out of their house.

Unexpectedly, she actually received a phone call from Christopher, asking her and her husband to come over to check out the properties with them. 1

What did they want them to check out? Weren’t they just trying to show off the fact that they were going to purchase a house at Thompson First? 1

Elaine felt very uncomfortable at this time but she did

not dare to reject her elder brother's invitation.

Therefore, she rushed over with Jacob as soon as she received the phone call. 6

This was also the reason why she was so upset with Charlie. If she had a capable son-in-law, then she would be able to live in Thompson First! 2

Elaine did not know what was going on. Therefore, she tried to flatter Hannah as soon as she saw her but Hannah actually thought that she was looking down 0 n her. Elaine felt seriously wronged at this time. Why would she look down on them? Why would she be praising them if she really looked down on them? 4

Elaine hurriedly bit the bullet as she continued flattering Hannah, "Oh! Sister-in-Law, how could I ever compare to you? It would be the same as comparing a candle to the sun! Why would I ever look down on you? You have such a good life and you will be moving into Thompson First soon! Look at me. I'm still living i n a small and broken house. Do you know how rotten and dilapidated our house is? How can it compare to

your new home? Of course, I envy you!"

Hannah was extremely irritated at this time and she was so furious that she was at a loss for words, s

At this time, her husband, Christopher was gritting his teeth in anger as he stood next to her. "Elaine, is it really so fun for you to continue provoking and making fun of us? Aren’t you going to be living in a villa at Thompson First? What are you trying to prove here?" 6

After that, Christopher glared at his younger brother, Jacob before he said, "Jacob, do you still regard me as your brother? Do you have any respect left for your mother? How could you keep something like this to yourself? You own a villa here and you did not even tell us about it?" 5

Jacob was stunned at this time. "A villa? What villa are you talking about? Brother, are you going to buy a villa instead? You're so rich!"
