The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2796

When Elaine heard Jacob saying that there was still a throbbing pain in his calves, she frowned immediately as she questioned him, "Jacob Wilson, you're jogging behind my back?" Jacob retorted, "What do you mean I'm doing it behind your back? Do I have to report to you if I were to go jogging?"

Elaine snorted coldly and said, "You already have one foot in the grave now and you're still jogging. Why are you even jogging? Are you trying to revive your second spring?" Jacob said impatiently, "What has it got to do with you anymore? Why are you worrying so much about it?"

After he was done speaking, Jacob glanced at the crutches that were placed against the dining table beside Elaine as he sneered and said, "Why? You're not allowing me to go out for a jog just because your legs are not in a good condition?" 3

Charlie felt a little frustrated when he heard them bickering, and he spoke up, "Dad, Mom, the both of you should just stop bickering. The both of you should not continue with this tit for tat because neither one of you are willing to let the other win."

As Claire cooked the noodles, she did not even look back as she said, "Husband, you do not know how I managed to make it through dinner tonight. The both of them have been bickering back and forth for more than an hour now. I cannot seem to persuade them at all..."

At this time, Elaine said angrily, "I didn't mean to replace fault with Jacob. The main point is that this guy is simply too infuriating. I'm already very pitiful because I broke this leg of mine twice. It's already bad enough that he is not concerned for me at all, but he is still ridiculing and making fun of me. Who is the bully?"

Jacob said coldly, "What has your broken leg got to do with me? I was not the one who broke your leg.

Besides, you've already been bickering with me for more than half a day now. At that time, we did not mention your leg at all. So, don't try to claim the moral high ground just so you can get your way." Elaine was so flustered and exasperated as she said," I'm trying to claim the moral high ground? Jacob Wilson, you really do not have a conscience at all!

Have you forgotten how I served you when you were hospitalized and became a paraplegic after getting hit by Jason Grant's car?! I had so much to do, and I was so busy and occupied because of you!" Jacob said disdainfully, "Do you really think that I don't know anything? When I was injured, who was the one who was really busy going around to look for the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons?" 4

As he spoke, Jacob pointed at Charlie, who was beside him, and said in a loud voice, "It was my good son-in-law, Charlie, who found him for me! If it weren't because of Charlie, I'd still be lying in bed right now."

Immediately after that, Jacob looked at Elaine as he continued questioning her, "You said that you were so busy and occupied because of me, but what were you really busy with? Were you busy cheating our daughter out of her money? Do you really think that I did not know that?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Elaine suddenly cursed out loud when Jacob exposed her. "When did you see me cheating our daughter out of her money?!" Jacob smacked his lips together. "You're still putting on an act now? When I was in the hospital, Dr.

Simmons had already cured me. The doctor said that I should be hospitalized to be kept under observation for another two days. We should be paying less hospitalization fees, but as a result, you took our daughter's entire cheque away. If I remember correctly, the amount written on the cheque was at least one hundred and seventy or one hundred and eighty thousand dollars, right?"

Elaine suddenly did not know how to retort, and her expression turned green and pale alternately.

Jacob sneered at this moment as he said, "If I were to learn from you, then after you broke your leg, the first thing that I would do is to look for my daughter to cheat her out of some spending money. But I, Jacob

Wilson, am not that kind of person. I'm a highly civilized person. A highly civilized person. Do you understand?"

Elaine was flustered and furious, and she picked up her crutch. She was prepared to smash it directly on Jacob as she cursed, "Highly civilized? You're talking about being a highly civilized person?! Just wait and see if I'll break your leg!"

Charlie hurriedly stopped her as he said a little angrily, "Sigh! Stop it! Anyway, there is no way for me to persuade both of you when I'm speaking nicely, right? The both of you are engaging in a full-blown fight as soon as I come home. Don't forget that Claire and I are both still here."

When Elaine saw that Charlie was a little angry, she hurriedly smiled and said, "My good son-in-law, don't be angry. I'm not trying to go against you. I'm simply targeting that old b*stard, Jacob Wilson!" 7
