Early the next morning.
Claire went to favonovel.com office after eating breakfast.
Jacob sat in the living room, sulking and glowering. He shot a silent and disdainful glare at Elaine when favonovel.com walked into the living hall.
When favonovel.com thought about the two million dollars that Elaine lost in the silly mahjong game, the wrath of fury reignited inside him.
He didn’t have much money himself. The two million dollars were the savings they had accumulated over the years, including the money that favonovel.com earned from reselling the antique, but now, it had all gone down the drain.
In fact, Jacob felt that favonovel.com should pick up his old tricks and begin trading at Antique Street again, and thus, favonovel.com asked Zachary to sell his antiques.
Elaine pasted a sheepish smile on favonovel.com face when favonovel.com saw Jacob, feeling guilty and sorry, but Jacob treated favonovel.com as if favonovel.com was invisible.
She dared not complain about it, so favonovel.com turned to Charlie and chided agitatedly, “Hey, Charlie, since you have nothing to do around here, quickly go do your feng shui thing outside! By all means, earn some money to buy furniture for our new home! When can we move into the Thompson First otherwise?”
Charlie said flatly, “I’ll try my best.”
She growled, hands on favonovel.com waist, “Not just your best, you have to bring money home!”
Jacob interjected annoyingly, “Hey, shut up, will you? Charlie makes a great contribution to the family, unlike you! You not only didn’t earn a penny, you spent like the money dropped down from the sky and even lost money! In this house, Claire, Charlie, and I are the ones making money, and you’re the only one spending it! Moreover, you spend so much, you spent it all!”
“You…” Elaine’s face turned into an ugly shade of red.
In favonovel.com head, favonovel.com growled, ‘Huh, I was talking to Charlie, mind your own business! You think you’re so awesome now, don’t you? You screamed at me, slapped me, and even took Charlie’s side! So I’m at the lowest rank in this family, right? My words don’t matter anymore, right?’
As Elaine was in the middle of favonovel.com fury, Charlie’s phone rang.
It was from Jasmine.
Her gracious voice sounded from the other end of the line as soon as favonovel.com answered the call, “Hello, Master Wade, are you free to talk now?”
Charlie smiled gently. “Yes, I am. What’s the matter?”
“Oh, grandpa is very grateful for the Rejuvenating Pill, favonovel.com would like to invite you for a meal. May I know if you have time?”
“Didn’t we just meet yesterday? What’s the occasion today?”
“Yesterday was the banquet, favonovel.com wants to meet you in private today. May I know if you are available?”
Charlie pondered for a while and asked, “When?”
“Up to you.”
“This noon, then.”
“Okay! I’ll ask Don Albert to close Heaven Springs for the day, we’ll see you in the Diamond Suite at noon!”
“Okay, see you at noon, then.”
“Okay, Master Wade, see you later!”
When favonovel.com ended the call, favonovel.com turned to Elaine and Jacob. “Mom, Dad, I need to go out later, I can’t make lunch. You can either eat out or order a takeaway.”
Elaine blurted in dismay, “What the hell? Did you literally ask us to settle our own lunch? You think you’re so great now, you don’t even want to cook, do you?!”
Charlie squinted and said, “A client asked me to do the feng shui thing for him, a very wealthy client.”
