The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3732



Mr. Bay did not know of Jacob and Matilda's past. He only knew that both of them were originally acquainted with each other, and that they were also old classmates.

Jacob also had a family, and Mr. Bay understood this very well. Therefore, he had never once expected Jacob to have feelings for Matilda.

But upon seeing Jacob's annoyance over how close Matilda seemed with Yolden, Mr. Bay came to an immediate realization.

However, Jacob was a complete and utter coward.

How would he dare to admit the truth when exposed in such an untimely manner?!

Jacob quickly waved his hand and hurried to say, "No, no such thing. I simply think that Yolden Hart is not good enough for Matilda, Mr. Bay."

Mr. Bay nodded. Then he added seriously, "Jacob, it'd be best if you don't have such thoughts! Our Calligraphy and Painting Association is also a semi-official organization, and we are representing the face of the cultural field. You're also a married man. If you were to be involved in a scandal or get engaged in two relationships at one time, actions will be taken. At that time, I won't be able to protect you!"

At these words, Jacob's heart instantly felt cold.

Elaine's face suddenly emerged in his mind.

He could imagine the violent and intense reaction Elaine would have if she found out that Matilda had returned to Oskia, and had gotten closer to him. Such a catastrophe would be akin to a collision between Mars and Earth!

He wouldn't have the opportunity to divorce Elaine, either. Elaine had already made it clear long ago that she would never divorce him. It would also be impossible for Jacob to sue for a divorce, even if he wanted to.

According to the rules, in the absence of significant fault on both parties, filing a divorce would require one to be separated for two years first before proceeding to file a lawsuit. Otherwise, the court would rule that a divorce is not allowed.

If he really wanted a separation from Elaine, wouldn't Elaine torture him to death in the two years?

The thought made him nervous.

He had been together with Elaine for so many years, and had always been suppressed by her in various ways. sways.

He had long developed a strong psychological fear of her.

Although he was a man, Elaine was a terribly shrewd woman. Sometimes, there was still a

husband.

Although most cases of domestic violence were male-to-female violence, there were also significant cases of domestic female-to-male violence. Men's violence against women was mostly because they were naturally stronger compared to women, and they relied on their strength to gain the upper hand.

Women's violence against men, on the other hand, was mostly because women gave men years and years of mental torment, causing the other party to be accustomed to

submission and allowing

themselves to be constantly suppressed.

Jacob's case was the latter.

He knew that Elaine was a stumbling block between him and Matilda, but he did not have the courage to kick Elaine aside.

Mr. Bay saw that Jacob was in a daze, and asked," Jacob, what are you thinking about?"

It was only then that Jacob came back to his senses. He said hurriedly, "Nothing, nothing."

Mr. Bay did not think much about it. "Well, then. Let's go quickly! That overseas Oskian is still waiting for us!"
