The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5564

Meanwhile, it was already nighttime in Aurous Hill.

Elaine had already prepared dinner and had invited Charlie and Claire to the dining table. At the same time, she could not help but complain, “It’s already eight o’clock, so why isn’t that b*stard, Jacob, home yet? I wonder where he has gone to now!”

Charlie said casually, “Mom, Dad is the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now, so he must be busy. Please be considerate.”

Elaine said disdainfully, “Why should I be considerate of him? Don’t you think I know anything about his ability? I think the people in charge of the Calligraphy and Painting Association must be blind to let him be the vice president!”

Just as she was talking, Jacob opened the door and walked in.

Claire greeted him quickly and said, “Dad, wash your hands then come and have dinner!”

Jacob asked casually, “What kind of dishes are there? Is there any meat?”

Elaine cursed and said, “There is a lid, do you want to chew it? If you’re willing, I’ll buy you another two pieces tomorrow!”

Jacob had a headache as soon as he heard Elaine speak. He frowned and said, “I really cannot expect any good words to come out of your mouth.”

With that said, he walked into the kitchen and washed his hands at the sink. He then slowly came to the dining table, sat down, and said to Charlie, “Charlie, guess who I saw when I went to Antique Street today?”

Jacob pursed his lips, nodded, and said with a smile, “You’re right.”

Elaine, who was aside, asked, “Jacob Wilson, are you starting to buy and sell antiques again?”

Jacob glanced at her from the corners of his eyes and said casually, “I’m not an antique dealer, so why would I be trading antiques? It’s just that I have a keen eye and can be considered to be a veteran in this industry, so I will seize the opportunity to make a move to pick up on any good deals ocassionally.”

Elaine said disdainfully, “You’re telling me that someone like you has a keen eye and can be considered to be a veteran in the industry? We should thank God if you don’t make a mess as soon as you make a move!”
