The Amazing son in law Chapter 782
The salesman gave a slight nod before saying, “You’re welcome to return if you’re interested in purchasing the sofa set from us.”
As they turned to leave, they noticed that Lady Wilson and her family had already vanished.
Jacob visited numerous stores that specialized in Lexington wood furniture, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find any sofa sets that appealed to him.
Feeling anxious, Elaine suggested they should prioritize buying the other furniture for the bedroom and dining room first. Otherwise, their trip to Furniture City would have been in vain.
Jacob agreed, realizing it was impractical to continue wasting time. Thus, they decided to explore other shops.
Elaine selected an extravagant bed that cost tens of thousands of dollars, while Claire opted for a more modest bedroom set priced around ten thousand dollars. During their shopping, they also picked up additional items like wardrobes, a dining table, and various other furnishings for both the bedrooms and the living room.
They even acquired all the necessary home appliances and assorted items for their new house, bringing the total to just over seven hundred thousand dollars.
At this point, Elaine was secretly plotting against Jacob. Aware that he had approximately 1.2 million dollars remaining, she aimed to sway him. If Jacob spent the money on the Lexington sofa set he desired, they would be left with nothing. However, if they settled on a decent European-style sofa, they would retain at least one million dollars.
With this in mind, she began subtly manipulating Jacob, saying, “Jacob, if you can’t find a suitable Lexington sofa set, why not consider purchasing a European-style one for now? Later, when we have more funds, we can buy a Hainan Lexington wood sofa set worth at least three million dollars!”
Jacob recognized Elaine’s tactics and replied calmly, “You don’t need to worry about the sofa set I choose. I’ll make my own decision regarding that. After all, I’ve already taken care of the furniture for the bedrooms, dining room, and entertainment area for you.”
Feeling frustrated, Elaine exclaimed, “Why won’t you listen to me? If you go for a ready-made European-style sofa set, we can have it delivered to our villa this afternoon! Then we can move in tomorrow. But if you insist on the Lexington sofa, we won’t have enough for the Hainan version, and the Burmese one will take forever! How long will we have to wait to move into the villa?”
Jacob hesitated for a moment.
It was indeed challenging for him to justify spending 1.2 million dollars on a Lexington sofa set.
If he continued to hesitate, he risked delaying their move into the villa.
On the other hand, choosing the European-style sofa set, as Elaine suggested, would allow for an afternoon delivery, enabling the family to settle into the villa by the next day. Original content can be found at find·novel·net
As Jacob weighed his options, Charlie chimed in, “Dad, I think Lady Wilson will reach out to you soon.”
Jacob instinctively asked, “Why do you think that?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “It’s all about the money! They’ll need to gather funds, and I doubt they can secure a higher offer than 1.2 million dollars. Ultimately, your offer will be the best they receive, so they’ll have no choice but to sell the sofa set to you.”
Elaine scoffed, “What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear what the old lady said earlier? She’d rather burn the wood than sell the sofa to us!”
“So what?” Charlie continued calmly. “They’re in a desperate situation. You’re offering them one hundred thousand dollars more than anyone else. That’s a significant amount for them. The old lady is clever; despite her arrogance, she wouldn’t want to waste that money.”
Elaine rolled her eyes and said, “Do you really think you’re so insightful just because you know a bit about Feng Shui? From what I understand of the old lady, her pride would prevent her from selling the sofa to us. If she does, I’ll eat that sofa!”
Just as she finished speaking, Jacob’s cell phone rang. Surprised, he said, “It’s my brother calling.”
After speaking, Jacob quickly answered the call.
On the other end, Christopher’s voice was cold as he asked, “Did you really mean it when you said you’d pay 1.2 million dollars for the sofa set?”
