The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3550



When Claire saw her mother's excited and flattering appearance in front of Charlie, she immediately felt helpless, and she could not help but mutter, "Mom... Why are you suddenly feeling so refreshed and excited as soon as Charlie comes back?"

Elaine hurriedly said, "Nonsense! I'm not suddenly feeling refreshed. It's just because I've been going crazy out of boredom over the past few days, and I've been waiting for my good son-in-law to come back so that I can cook for him!"

Claire sighed and said, "There's not even an egg left in the kitchen. So, what are you going to cook for Charlie?"

"Ahh? Is that so?" Elaine was surprised and asked," Are there no vegetables left in the refrigerator either?"

Claire rolled her eyes and said, "There were only two small cabbages left and so, I asked Dad to use it to cook his noodles in the morning." Elaine cursed angrily, "That d*mn Jacob Wilson! Who gave him the right to eat the cabbages that I bought?! This is really outrageous!" Claire rubbed her temples and said, "Mom... That cabbage was almost rotten... Dad said that it would already be spoiled if he did not eat it..." Elaine hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Forget

it. Let's order some food, then. Claire, you should hurry up and order a lot of delicious food!"

After saying that, Elaine then smiled at Charlie and said, "Charlie, you must be feeling exhausted after being away from home for so many days now, right? Come. Hurry up and sit on the sofa to rest!"

Claire could not help but feel a little helpless after feeling the difference in treatment. However, she could not be bothered to argue with her mother. So, she took out her cell phone, opened up the food delivery app, and started looking for food.

Elaine hurriedly asked Charlie to sit down on the sofa before she served him tea and water. Charlie tried to stop her from getting so busy several times, but she was simply unwilling to do so. She continued holding onto her crutches as she brewed a cup of tea for Charlie.

After handing the cup of brewed tea to Charlie, Elaine then smiled and asked, "Charlie, how was your trip to Eastcliff this time? Did everything go smoothly?"

"Everything went pretty smoothly," Charlie replied casually.

Elaine then hurriedly asked, "Oh! You must have made a lot of money this time too, right?!"

Charlie casually said, "The customer this time was a little tight on cash, so he did not pay me in cash."

"Ahh?!" As soon as Elaine heard this,

she was immediately filled with righteous indignation as she said, "What kind of person is this? He should not be asking people to work if he does not have money to pay! He did not pay after you already worked for him? This is simply too much!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlie laughed and said, "He did not pay me with money, but he gave me something else in return."

Elaine's eyes that had just dimmed suddenly brightened up again as she asked, "My good son-in-law, tell me, what did the customer give you to pay his bill?"

Charlie casually opened the bag that he was carrying and took a gold bar out from it.

When Elaine saw the gold bar, she exclaimed with great surprise, "Oh, my God! It's a gold bar! It says 1,000... Oh, my God! 1,000 grams!"

After saying that, Elaine quickly

came back to her senses, and she blurted out, "The price of gold seems to be around four hundred dollars. So, this piece is only worth 400,000 dollars..."

Charlie then took out another gold bar and stacked it on top of the previous one as he said, "It's not like he only gave me one piece." Elaine clapped her hands happily and said, "Oh!

There's more!"

Charlie then took out another piece of gold bar, and Elaine grew even more excited. "Oh, my goodness! Three pieces!" Immediately after that...

"Oh! Four pieces..."

"Oh, my God! There's more?! This is already the fifth piece, right?"

Elaine danced with excitement whenever Charlie took out a piece of gold bar, and she looked like a demon who had finally gotten her hands on a monk's meat.

After Charlie had taken out all ten

bad

gold bars and arranged them into two rows, Elaine then stared at the pile of shiny and golden gold bars with her eyes wide open as she asked excitedly, "Good Son-in-Law, is there more?"
