The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2597

As he thought about the fact that he had never been to the United States before, Jacob could not help but hate Elaine even more in his heart.

He sat in the co-driver seat as he cursed, "That b*tch, Elaine, is the one who ruined my whole life! If it weren't because of her, I would have been a top student who graduated from a university in the United States! Perhaps I would have also been a professor working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or even a professor working at Harvard in the United States!" 2

As he spoke, he continued complaining angrily, "What happened in the end? As soon as I graduated from a local university, I got married to Elaine! I cannot get rid of her at all even up to this day!"

Charlie could not help but comfort Jacob as he said, "It's okay, Dad. There are some things that you cannot simply consider most optimistically. Although you are not in a happy marriage now, at the very least, you are in very good health. If you think about it from another point of view, perhaps you were actually destined to be in a car accident in the United States, or perhaps you would have gotten killed in a shooting in the United States. However, since you stayed in the country because you got married to mom, that is tantamount to her actually saving your life in disguise." 3

Jacob had a gloomy expression on his face as he said," You don't need to try and comfort me anymore. When we were young, the education that we received was about materialism and Marxism. We do not believe in fate or destiny. We do not believe in any savior, and we do not rely on anyone else to determine our fate. My life has been completely ruined in Elaine's hands!" 7

Charlie smiled helplessly before he said, "Dad, why don't we talk about Yolden Hart, then?" 3

Jacob crossed his arms in front of his chest before he asked angrily, "What else is there to talk about him? Doesn't he simply have a higher doctorate as compared to me? What is so great about that? Besides, he is simply just a little more handsome, has a slightly better physique than me, is slightly taller, and looks a little younger. So, in what other aspects is he better than me, then?"

Charlie replied embarrassedly, "Wouldn't that already mean that he has defeated you in every aspect?" 4

Jacob rubbed his temple slightly as he said, "Sigh.

This is really giving me a headache. Charlie, do you think that he has a wife or any children?"

Charlie thought for a moment before he said seriously, "He came out for a run alone at night. So, I think that he should not have a wife. However, since he is already fifty-five years old now, I believe he must have children. According to my analysis, he must have already been married before, but he should be single a t the moment." 5

"D*mn it! It's over." Jacob said dejectedly, "When I saw the way he was looking at your Aunt Hall, I could already tell that something was not right. I am 80% certain that he is interested in your Aunt Hall. Both of them are single, and they are colleagues working together at the Senior University. Besides that, they also share many years of similar life experiences in the United States, and both of them enjoy exercising. Based on this analysis, both of them are indeed suited for one another! If that is the case, I will certainly lose out in this fight!"

As he spoke, Jacob said annoyedly, "Charlie, why would a magnificent professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology actually come back to teach at the Aurous University of Finance and Economics instead? Don't you think he is crazy?"

Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, "No matter what it is, he was still a professor of Economics and Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is actually a very remarkable feat." Jacob asked curiously, "Do you know anything about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?"

"Just a little." Charlie replied seriously, "The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been the top university in the world over the past two years after all. However, the strongest field in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not economics and management, but it is the best in science, engineering, electronic engineering, aerospace, and so forth. The university that is the best in economics and management should be Stanford or Harvard.

Jacob asked curiously, "How do you know this so clearly? If I recall correctly, you only attended university for one year, right?"

Charlie casually replied, "Sigh. Even if I have not experienced it personally, I must have also heard of it before, right?"

In truth, Charlie had already been very familiar with all the American universities ever since he was young.

It was not because Charlie was yearning to get into an American university, but it was because his mother had grown up in the United States and was a high-achieving student who had graduated from Stanford University.

Moreover, Stanford University was very close to Silicon Valley, which was a famous high-tech industrial base in the United States.

Many internet giants from Silicon Valley would study and graduate from Stanford University first before starting their own businesses in Silicon Valley.

In fact, most of the first-generation entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley who graduated from Stanford University in the 1990s were Charlie's mother's classmates. 5

When Charlie was young, he would often hear his mother talking about the various characteristics of

American universities, especially that of Stanford University.

Charlie remembered that his mother had brought the five or six-year-old him to take a look around Stanford University when he had followed his mother to visit their relatives in the United States.
