The Charismatic Charlie Wade - Season 8 Episode 51

Seeing that Jacob was hesitating, Elaine hurriedly shifted into a flattering mode and said, “Dear, we can still earn money! Claire’s company is starting to grow, so when her business starts to make money, she will give you all her money for safekeeping, and you will be the financial power of our family, okay?”

Jacob started to feel a little relieved when he heard the idea. He figured that since he couldn’t be in the upper hand now, it would end up bad if he bumped his head against her, hence, the better option right now was to compromise and accept the proposed solution.

Elaine, on the other hand, was thinking, ‘Jacob Wilson, you’ll never be able to escape my grip! I put you in charge of the family’s finances because we don’t have any money now, you are nothing but a puppet. When we have money in the future, I will snatch the power back!’

She was extremely delighted as she thought of it, so she started, “Dear, you are the best! I’ll cook tomorrow and make your favorite braised prawns!”

There were two totally different reactions to their reconciliation. Claire was relieved while Charlie was regrettable.

His father-in-law had always been a wimp. He thought the old man could buckle up at a crucial moment like this yet he failed to retain his guts at the final moment.

Nah, it’s his own life anyway. Since he chose the tormenting living hell, so be it.

After the commotion, Charlie and Claire went back to their room, hovering in their own thoughts.

Claire looked worrisome and exhausted as soon as they got into the room.

“Dear, what’s wrong?” Charlie asked in concern.

Claire sighed as she shook her head and said, “I’m so disappointed with Mom. Two million! How could she… sigh…”

“Dear, if you are worried about money, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to make more money back.”

“No, it’s not the money that I’m worried about, but the human. I’m worried about my mom, she is such a headache!”

Charlie shrugged helplessly. “Well, there is nothing you can do, really. You know better than me what kind of a person your mom is.”

Claire nodded dejectedly. “I know, that’s why I’m so helpless. I can see that she wasn’t sincere at all, she will definitely go back to her old self after Dad isn’t angry at her anymore.”

Charlie patted her back lightly and said, “Stop thinking about it now, just focus on your business. Mom and Dad are not kids anymore, they can solve their problems.”

Then, he continued, “By the way, I’ll think about the purchase of furniture and home appliances for the Thompson First villa.”

“Oh?” Claire gasped in surprise. “What do you have in mind?”

“I happened to have a few feng shui jobs in these two days, I can earn quite a bit from it. We can use the money to buy furniture and appliances, and then we can move in.”

Claire frowned in concern. “That’s another thing that I’m worried about, your feng shui hoax. What if you mess up and the feng shui doesn’t work? Those clients of yours are the VIPs in the city, we don’t have the power to embrace their attack.”

Charlie smiled gently. “Don’t worry, I’m quite a professional, my work does have a certain effect on them in a good way. Just look at Lord Moore, he single-handedly built the Moore family empire with the net worth of 100 billion dollars. How can I bluff a man as magnificent as he is? Also, if my feng shui doesn’t work, how can a man like him believe in me so much?”

Claire tilted her head and pondered for a while. Then, she nodded lightly and said, “Makes sense.” Suddenly, she opened her mouth again, “Again, you must not lie and cause trouble like what my mom does, do you understand?”

Charlie chuckled and nodded. “Okay, my dear wife! I know what I’m doing.”
