The Amazing son in law Chapter 777

Early the next day, Charlie and his family gathered for breakfast before setting off for Furniture City.

Elaine spent the entire night contemplating but still couldn’t devise a plan to withdraw money from Jacob’s bank account. As they prepared to spend two million dollars, anxiety washed over her.

Meanwhile, Lady Wilson and her family were also up bright and early that morning.

Once breakfast was finished, a truck arrived at their villa.

The workers began loading the Lexington sofa set from the Wilson family villa into the truck, preparing to head to Furniture City alongside the Wilson family.

Furniture City, located in the western part of Aurous Hill, was a bustling hub where nearly all the furniture retailers in the area were gathered.

This expansive venue offered a diverse array of furniture options, ranging from budget-friendly to high-end pieces, making it the ideal place for their shopping needs.

Jacob, influenced by the late Lord Wilson, had a strong passion for antiques, much like his father. He not only cherished shopping for antiques but also had a fondness for old wooden furniture.

The Lexington sofa set in the Wilson family villa had always been Jacob’s favorite, yet he regretted that it would never belong to him. It was a dream he could only ponder.

With his love for antique wooden furniture, Jacob made a beeline for a wooden furniture shop as soon as they arrived at Furniture City.

Watching him head straight into the shop caused Elaine’s expression to shift dramatically. She hurried to stop him, exclaiming, “Jacob! You can’t just buy a bunch of old wooden furniture for our new home! Our new house is a luxurious villa, and the furniture should match that elegance. You need to choose European-style pieces that are suitable for such a high-end setting! Why waste money on uncomfortable and costly wooden furniture?”

Jacob scoffed, “What do you know about furniture? Chinese-style furniture values wood and heritage. Only those well-versed in culture can truly appreciate it!”

Elaine shot back, “We both graduated from the same university. What makes you think you’re more knowledgeable than I am?”

With a dismissive wave, Jacob replied, “You need a solid foundation to appreciate this kind of culture. I don’t want to waste more time explaining this to you, as you simply don’t understand.”

Turning toward Charlie, he added, “My good son-in-law, if we can buy a Lexington sofa set today, our trip will be worthwhile!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ find⁂novel.net

Charlie nodded nonchalantly, “Sure, Dad. If it makes you happy.”

Elaine, feeling ignored and frustrated by Jacob’s attitude, stomped her foot in anger. Under normal circumstances, she would have lost her temper, but today was different. She felt powerless without any money of her own and didn’t want to jeopardize her position.

Instead, Elaine pulled Claire aside and said, “Claire, you have to convince your father not to spend a fortune on unattractive wooden furniture! Isn’t it sensible for him to keep a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank? We should be saving for a rainy day!”

Claire sighed, “Mom, since Charlie has already entrusted Dad with the money and decision-making, we should stay out of it.”

“You’re unbelievable! Why aren’t you backing me up?” Elaine exclaimed, surprised by Claire’s indifference, which left her feeling unsettled.

Claire responded earnestly, “Mom, you lost a lot of money playing mahjong. It’s time to learn self-control. Since we agreed to let Dad manage the family finances, you should respect his choices.”

Elaine felt a lump form in her throat, uncomfortable with her daughter’s words.

At that moment, Jacob walked into a furniture store called The Lexington House, known for its exquisite Lexington wood furniture and quite popular in Aurous Hill.

As soon as Jacob entered, a salesman approached him enthusiastically, asking, “Good afternoon, sir! What can I help you find today?”

Jacob replied, “I’m looking for some Lexington wood furniture for my living room.”

The salesman eagerly inquired, “How big is your living room?”

Jacob responded, “It’s about a hundred square meters!”
