The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 907

Sensing that his mother didn't want others to know his middle name, Paul smiled politely and said," Everyone, please enjoy your gathering. Excuse me." 3

Jacob hurriedly said, "Hey, Paul, what’s the hurry?

How about joining us for lunch?”

He intentionally talked to Paul as a hint for the rest to realize that he and Paul knew each other so they could assume that he had already met Matilda before the reunion. 1

It was also to suggest to them that both of them shared an extraordinary connection and to chase away Matilda’s suitors. 1

Indeed, when the others heard their conversation, they found it rather odd and peculiar. They wondered how and when Jacob and Paul had become so close.

Paul smiled and said, "Thanks, but no thanks, I have a meeting in the afternoon."

Then, he said to Jacob in a moderate voice, "I have an appointment with Charlie. He's coming to my new office to check out the Feng Shui there, so I have to be there to entertain him."

Jacob nodded with a smile. "My son-in-law has no other skills than his pair of good eyes in Feng Shui. Let him take a look at it. I bet he won't charge you after last night's dinner and the wine." 7

Then, he continued, "Wait, let me call him and ask him to waive your bill!" 6

William frowned in confusion and depression when h e listened to their exchanges.

William felt even more infuriated at the remark. 'What do you mean by that? Why do I feel as if you’re Paul's stepfather, you freak?' he thought angrily. 5 'Oh, Jacob Wilson, you snatched Matilda away from m e twenty years ago. If you dare to ruin my happiness again this time, I'll kill you!' William threatened, hoping that he could murder Jacob with his mind. 7

Thus, he deliberately said loudly, "By the way, Jacob, where is your wife? You know, the wicked shrew who was infamous throughout our college. What's her name, though? Her last name is Parker, right? What’s her first name, guys?"

An old friend answered, "Elaine!"

"Oh right! Elaine Parker!" William teased, "Jacob, I heard that you and Elaine share quite an affectionate and intimate relationship, I bet you guys must have loved each other so badly over the years! Where is she? Why didn't you bring her here today?" 5

Jacob's face twisted in an agonizing grimace upon the mention of Elaine’s name. He blurted indignantly," William, stop rubbing it in. Elaine isn’t from our class, what business does she have here anyway?"
