The Amazing son in law Chapter 622
In that moment, the cheerful Jacob exclaimed, “Oh yes, dear! Please give me twenty grand. I want to host a get-together tomorrow!”
Elaine responded with a hint of anxiety, “A get-together? Why on earth do you need twenty grand for that? Did you invite the president?”
With excitement, Jacob replied, “I joined the Aurous Calligraphy and Painting Association, remember? Now there’s an opening for the executive director position, and I want it! I need to invite the chairman and other directors for dinner to strengthen our connections.”
With a smug expression, he added, “If I get elected as an executive director, I’ll be quite popular in the city’s antique social circle!”
Elaine, now furious, shouted, “Are you out of your mind? Twenty grand for dinner? Do you really think we have a money tree at home? No way, I won’t allow it!”
Jacob quickly defended himself, “Oh, darling, I’m just trying to rise through the ranks! Once I’m a director, I’ll have better access to rare antiques and the chance to snag some treasures at great prices! You’ve seen how well I’ve done before—I made hundreds of thousands using the same approach!”
Despite feeling guilty about the money, Elaine maintained her angry facade. “But still, you can’t possibly spend twenty grand on a dinner! Do you think our money just grows?”
Jacob felt irritated. “Every penny I spend will come back to me in the future! Or you could think of it as a loan, how about that?”
Elaine scoffed, “Oh please, do you think I don’t see through your nonsense? So what if you become a director? You still won’t earn much! You’re starting to act just like Charlie—lying and deceiving everyone!”
“Why do you always look down on me?” Jacob exclaimed, frustration creeping into his voice.
“Yes, I do look down on you! You want money, right? Look at my lips—no!” she declared, turning and storming into her room, feigning anger.
Jacob stood there, utterly baffled and irritated. What was wrong with her? Why wouldn’t she give him the money? Part of it belonged to him!
As he contemplated going to her room for another argument, Charlie stepped in with a smile, “Dad, if Mom doesn’t want to give you the money, there’s nothing you can do.” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on find•novel.net
Annoyed, Jacob huffed, “But I already told them I wanted to host a get-together! I only have a little over a thousand in my pocket—it’s not enough!”
He continued, “The president mentioned there’s a good chance I’ll be appointed as director, and it all hinges on my performance!”
Charlie let out a quiet sigh. He knew all too well how poorly his father-in-law fared in authenticating antiques. Jacob had been scammed repeatedly, losing a significant amount of money. The only time he had made a profit from antiques was through Zachary.
Unfortunately, Zachary was now avoiding Jacob completely, ignoring his calls and even fleeing his shop whenever he spotted Jacob on Antique Street.
Jacob’s true reason for joining the association was just to fill a seat, but he wouldn’t voice that. Instead, he said, “Dad, I’ve got some spare cash; I’ll transfer you twenty grand right away.”
Jacob’s face lit up with joy. “Oh, my wonderful son-in-law, you’re the best! Thank you! You’ve done me a huge favor!”
Charlie sighed again as he processed the transfer. “Alright, Claire will be back soon. I need to start making dinner.”
Jacob beamed as he received the money and said in a playful tone, “Let me help you, dear son-in-law!”
