The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Jacob instantly regretted his words as soon as he was done saying them.

He had just been momentarily agitated, and that was the reason why he had blurted those words out. It was only after he had finished speaking when he realized that he had stirred up a hornet's nest.

Sure enough, as soon as Elaine heard this, she stretched out her hands as though she wanted to fight with him as she cursed, "Jacob, you b*stard! It's fine if you don't want to giveanything, but you are actually coming up with all those damn f*cking ideas when my good son-in-law is givingsomething! Just wait and see if I will f*cking tear your face up into pieces!" Claire did not expect that the both of them would start fighting as they talked. So, she hurriedly stepped forward and stood in between them to block them as she said helplessly, "Oh! Dad! Mom! How long are the both of you going to keep this up?! Don't forget that it is Charlie's birthday today. It's supposed to be a happy and joyous occasion, but the both of you are arguing and making a scene. Aren't the both of you deliberately making things unpleasant?" Charlie also spoke up at this time. "Mom, don't be so harsh on Dad anymore. We are all a family, so do not make everyone unhappy all the tjust because of these small little things. Our family's lives are getting better and better, but it seems as though the relationship between the both of you just keeps getting worse and worse. If this is the case, I think that we should just move back into our previous old house so that our family can be more harmonious!" 2 As soon as Charlie said these words, Elaine stopped all of her movements immediately and blurted out, "N O! Don't! My good son-in-law, don't do that! We can talk everything through amicably, but you are overdoing it by saying that we should move back into our old house H Charlie shook his head helplessly and spoke up, "In that case, both you and Dad should cherish the happy life that did not ceasy for us right now. Stop arguing and bickering." "Okay!" Elaine did not hesitate as she said, "No problem! No problem at all! I'll listen to you, and I will not continue arguing with this old b*stard anymore!" Jacob curled his lips, and he wanted to speak up and refute her words. However, he shut his mouth immediately after Elaine glared at him. 1 In truth, Jacob had no real combat abilities or effectiveness in front of Elaine whatsoever.

If Elaine was a steel torrent of Germany during World War II, Jacob would be Polish at best. He would not be able to last more than a few rounds under Elaine's iron hooves.

Therefore, Jacob chose to shut his mouth after Elaine called him an old b*stard, and their fight finally cto an end.

When Charlie saw that the both of them had finally stopped fighting, he turned around and took the elevator down to the basement. After that, he took out two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of red wine from the storage room.

Charlie's family's alcohol collection was all from very top brands regardless of whether it was liquor or red wine. They had sent it down during the New Year, and they had not drunk much of it.

Jacob had already been coveting these for a long time, but since the value of each of these bottles of liquor and wine were all worth more than a hundred thousand dollars, Elaine refused to let him drink any o fit.

In order to prevent and stop Jacob vel.

el.re from secretly drinking it, Elaine had even made an inventory for these alcohols, and she would always down to the basement to take inventory and stock of these alcohols every now and then. So, although Jacob had been thinking about it, he had never dared to drink it.

When Charlie cback with the alcohol, Jacob took the alcohol from Jacob to him excitedly, and he carefully opened the bottle. At this time, the scent and fragrance of the liquor wafted out, and Jacob could not help but sigh as he said, "This is indeed good liquor! I already feel as though the alcohol is rushing to my head simply by taking a couple of whiffs of it!" Elaine rolled her eyes at him before she muttered," The 75% sterilized antiseptic alcohol smells will rush to your head even more. You can try it if you don't believe me!" "What would you know?" Jacob muttered before he hurriedly picked up the glasses to pour the liquor for Charlie and himself.

Elaine also knew that if she were to continue insulting Jacob, she would only be ruining the atmosphere. So she did not continue speaking.

Instead, she took the red wineCharlie's hand and took the initiative to open it with a wine opener.

The family of four filled up their glasses, and Claire also brought the cake out before she said to Charlie," Husband, why don't make a Wish ve and blowout the candles first before we start eating dinner!" 3 Charlie smiled and nodded. This was the standard process for birthday celebrations. It was this way during noon, and it was also the sat night.

This was also basically the sprocess for a party with classmates as well as colleagues. No matter which city it was, the standard process would usually be dinner first before singing karaoke. So, when Claire took the cake out from the refrigerator and lit the candles, Charlie was completely at ease as he got ready to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Claire, who was aside, also sang a birthday song for Charlie. Her voice was not loud, but it was very gentle. She sang clearly as she looked at Charlie with her pair of big eyes.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." 5 X
