The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1422

Upon hearing this, Elaine was extremely grateful and said, "Oh, my dear son-in-law! You are the best son-in-law in the world! It's truly a blessing for me to be able to get an awesome son-in-law like you..." 4 Jacob, who was sitting at the side all along, sighed repeatedly. He knew that Charlie had a knack in some way. When he said he would get them, he would. 2

However, it was quite hard for him to swallow when he thought of Elaine using cosmetics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. 3

At this moment, Charlie just happened to say to him," By the way, dad, are you using the car today? I'm kind of in the middle of something today. If you don't need your car, can you please lend it to me?" 4 Charlie needed to go to the airport to see Quinn off and then rush to Aurous Stadium to watch Aurora's match. It would be a little inconvenient without a car to commute around.

Jacob hurriedly said, "Oh. In that case, you can drop me off at Senior University later. Lunch will be provided there so I won't be home for lunch. I'll take a taxi back myself after I finish my business there in the afternoon."

Charlie nodded and said, "Then, let's hurry up and eat.

Let's set off afterward."

Jacob said, "Alright!" 2

Elaine was an average cook.

However, it did not require much skill to make tomato and egg with noodles, so the breakfast she cooked was barely edible.

After breakfast, Charlie and Jacob went out the door in a hurry and drove away.

As soon as Charlie drove Jacob's BMW out of the house, Jacob lamented, "Hey, Charlie, you're so silly! Why did you promise that b*tch Elaine such an expensive skincare product? Don't you see that she doesn't deserve even a drop of it?"

Charlie smiled. "Dad, it's only a hundred thousand or s 0, it's not a big deal. Besides, I have friends, so getting a set of cosmetics is a breeze." 2

Jacob couldn't help lamenting, "Oh my, it's such a waste of money!"

Charlie smiled quietly.

In Jacob's opinion, it would be a waste of money even i f Elaine used a one dollar moisturizer.

However, this amount of money did not mean anything to him.

In truth, he didn't even have to spend his own money if he wanted to. He could just give a call to Isaac, Zeke, 0 r Graham, and ask them to buy ten or twenty sets of the aforementioned skincare products for him. It was

not a big deal. 5

The point was if the petty gain was enough to make his mother-in-law respectful of him, it was worth every penny of it. a

Jacob, who was fiddling on the side, asked, "Hey, Charlie, by the way, urn... Can I... ask you for a favor?" 2

Charlie nodded. "Yes, dad, just tell me. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Jacob grinned sheepishly. Then, he rubbed his hands, and said, "Well, since you have access to the products, could you get me an extra set?"

Charlie asked reflexively, "Dad, please don't tell me you still want to maintain youthful skin. It's not necessary though. Men will look more macho if they have some signs of aging on their face." a

Jacob chuckled embarrassedly. "Okay, I'm going to tell you the truth. Actually, I asked you for a set, but it's not for me. I want to give it to Matilda. You know, I don't have much money right now. Matilda has been back for so long, and yet, I haven't given her any gifts. How embarrassing..." 3

Then, he added, "I figured, since you have access to the cosmetics, you can get an extra set for me too so that I can give it to Matilda. It could help boost my reputation, don't you think?"
