The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2573

After hearing the words of his father-in-law, Charlie was dumbfounded.

'When was I supposed to have a meal with my father-in-law?'

Just as he was wondering, Jacob kept winking at him, and at the same time, he urged, "Oh, Charlie, why are you still wearing an apron? Go back into the house and change your clothes, we are going to be late!"

At this moment, Elaine asked, "Jacob, you do nothing at the Calligraphy and Painting Association all the time, so why do you still bring your son-in-law along? Since when does he have the time to socialize with you?"

Jacob curled his lips and said, "What do you even know? Charlie knows Albert, and Albert is very famous in Aurous Hill. Mr. Bay from our association would definitely give face to Albert. It just so happens that the top management of our Association is about to change. This time around, I have to make Mr. Bay recommend me as the vice president. If that happens, I will be the second in command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association!"

Elaine replied with a look of contempt, "Why are you obsessing over this association anyway? What's the

point? It's not like you're taking home a single cent from it!"

Jacob then said disdainfully, "The Calligraphy and Painting Association was originally a non-profit organization. This is the elegance of the literate which scholars seek, something you know nothing of!" Elaine snorted coldly, "Jacob, I have already given you face, haven't I? I told you to quit that dog sh*t of an association immediately and to earnestly stay at home in the future!"

"Stop dreaming!" Jacob blurted out, "The Calligraphy and Painting Association is my second love! It's not something which you can say quit and I will automatically quit!"

Elaine smacked the table. "Oh, so you're not going to quit, right? Fine! Today, I won't let you leave the door! If you dare to step one foot out, I will make a huge fuss at your association tomorrow!" Jacob hurriedly replied, "Are you sick in the head?! What does this have anything to do with you?!"

Elaine replied coldly, "Stop with this f*cking nonsense. As of right now, we are still legally married. If you annoy me, I will head over to your association and accuse you of having an affair! I'll see how you will stay in that association after that!"

"You..." Jacob was a little scared, and he hurriedly replied, "Elaine, why are you doing this? I normally don't provoke you! I just want to go out to socialize occasionally. What's the meaning of this persistent objection?!"

Elaine said coldly, "I'm not going against you. I'm just letting you know which one of us has the final say!"

Charlie hurriedly chimed in at this moment and said," Oh, Mother, Father has loved ancient calligraphy and painting for so many years and has finally found an opportunity to develop in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Therefore, please don't get in his way."

Elaine said seriously, "My good son-in-law, let me tell you the truth. After having my legs broken for so long, your father-in-law, this old man, has never cared for me even once! Isn't he just too heartless?!" 4 "Not only that, my legs and feet are still not healed, and every day, I've lessened my outing frequency.

Even to buy groceries, I've had to use my handphone. As for him, day in and day out, he's always leaving the house, never staying at home at all. If I were to not control him now, what if he were to go and get all chummy with some vixen?!"

Jacob was shocked as he blurted, "Elaine, you'd better not spout any nonsense! The Calligraphy and Painting Association only has eight people in total, and all eight of them are men!"

Elaine curled her lips and replied, "I don't care how many men there are, you are not allowed to go there anymore!"

Charlie said helplessly, "Mother, don't get angry. If you are feeling bored at home, why not ask Father to take some time out of his schedule and spend some time with you? Take you out for walks and even join you for some exercise. Nevertheless, Father also needs his personal space. I think it's best for you to not interfere too much."

Jacob heard those words and immediately said, "Yes! Why don't I take some time out and spend some time with you in the future? How about that?" 3

Elaine felt a little better and said to Jacob, "I won't stay angry at you because I am giving face to our son-in-law, but don't you dare forget what you've just promised me!"

Jacob quickly replied, "Don't worry! I will never forget this! How about this. Tomorrow, I will bring you shopping at the Oskian World Shopping Mall. You did not get the chance to shop during this time, so you must be quite tired of being cooped up at home."

Only then did Elaine calm down, and she replied," This is what you've said yourself, you'd better remember it! If you dare to go back on your words, I will make sure you suffer!" 2

Jacob hurriedly said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will accompany you tomorrow!" 1

Charlie saw that Elaine had truly calmed down, so he took the opportunity to say, "Mother, if there's nothing else, I will head out with father first."

Elaine nodded. "Go. Pay attention to your safety when driving on the road!"

Jacob couldn't wait any longer as he said, "Charlie, go change your clothes, I will wait for you in the car!" 6
