The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1417

The next day.

Quinn's flight was scheduled to take off at eight-thirty in the morning, whereas the semifinal of the combat and fighting competition would start at ten.

Hence, Charlie decided to see Quinn off at the airport first and then head to the stadium to watch Aurora's match. 6

Early in the morning, Charlie went to Jacob and said," Dad, will you use your car in the morning? Lend it to me if you don't, I have something to do in the morning." 3

Jacob smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm going to give a talk on the antique and cultural appraisal in the morning at the Senior University on behalf of the Calligraphy and Painting Association."

With that, Jacob cast a glance at Charlie which indicated a "you know what I mean" hint. 5

Charlie was instantly enlightened.

Jacob must have met with Matilda during the activity collaboration between the university and his association, and he wanted to take this chance to meet Matilda more often before Elaine suspected anything. Thus, Charlie could guess without saying that Jacob must be going for Matilda with the talk as his disguise. 7

At this moment, Elaine just happened to walk down the stairs. When she heard their exchange, she sneered in a despicable manner, "What's the freaking point of you hanging around in the nonsense calligraphy and painting association?" 5

Jacob huffed indignantly, "You know nothing! I am now the executive director of the association. Mr. Bay has said that in the upcoming election for the positions in the association, he will recommend me as the vice-president. By that time, I, Jacob Wilson, will be a prominent figure in the antique and cultural relic circle in Aurous Hill." 7

Elaine snorted coldly, "Argh, enough with this useless nonsense. It is better if you can make some money for the family. Before you joined this so-called association, you used to make some money by reselling antiques and stuff, but why didn't I hear you do such a thing anymore ever since you joined the association? Are you keeping pocket money for yourself behind my back?" 5

Jacob said in exasperation, "Elaine, don't you forget that we are separated. Besides, after you lost all the money last time, we agreed that I'll be in charge of the household money. Therefore, you have no right to mind my business!" 1

Elaine gritted her teeth and chided, "Wow, Jacob Wilson, you think you're so awesome now, don't you? Do you really think I will give in just because you want a divorce? Believe it or not, I will not do anything today simply to go to your association and make a scene with you right in front of everyone! I'd like to see if you still have the dignity to remain in the association!" 8

Huffing in anger, Elaine continued, "Oh, one time is not enough. I'll give you a monthly package. I'll visit your association twenty to thirty times a month to make a scene. I bet you'll enjoy my service!"

Jacob was so shocked by her intimidating remarks that he almost peed his pants.

He knew Elaine's temper very well. If she said that, she would definitely do it.

Now that he had managed to gain a certain status in the association and had gotten to meet Matilda through its name, he couldn't let Elaine go and ruin everything! i

As always, this shrew had always been bad-tempered all her life. Now that she lost her two front teeth, she looked incredulously grotesque and absurd. He could never let her go to the association to ruin his reputation!

Moreover, if she locked her mark on the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it was possible that she would follow the clues and then find out that Matilda had returned to Oskia. It was also possible that she would find out that he and Matilda had been in touch all this while! By then, she would definitely make a destructive scene at the association and the Senior University!
