Chapter 566
Everyone laughed hysterically upon the reveal! No one would have predicted such an amazing twist in the story!
Jake added, “Wow, Uncle Wilson, you’re incredible! You’re like the main character in a romance movie where you broke up with your college sweetheart and married your nemesis! Hahaha!”
Charlie was not in place to comment about the matter, but he found the whole incident hilarious as well.
Never did he think that there was this kind of backstory of his parents-in-law. Elaine was herself through and through. Not only did she get Jacob drunk, but she also did the deed with him! It was such a devious act!
After muffling their laughter, the men felt sympathetic toward Jacob and started offering him words of encouragement and comfort.
Aaron still kept an eye on Jacob and said with a laugh, “Don’t sympathize with Jacob yet. Elaine was pretty miserable to marry him!”
The crowd was puzzled. “What’s so miserable about it? She got to marry Jacob, isn’t that enough?”
Aaron sighed. “Oh, there’s something you don’t know. Elaine was aiming at rich kids, dreaming that she would marry them and live a lavish life after marriage. That was why she fell in love with Jacob, because, well, his family was quite rich at that time…”
Then, he changed his tone to one of mockery and said, “But who knew, Jacob would be so useless after graduation, he didn’t get any resources nor attention from his family, and then, the family started to deteriorate year after year. Elaine’s dream of becoming the wife of a rich man was shattered! She didn’t even know that she married a deadbeat loser!”
Jacob was abashed as Aaron revealed his affairs, his face turning into a bright shade of red as he shouted, “Aaron Philips, I’m warning you, stay away from my business!”
Aaron snorted, “Huh, everyone in Aurous Hill knows about your family’s affairs! Do you think they won’t know about it if I shut up?”
Then, he continued loudly, “Initially, your family was quite influential and powerful, so you could still cheat your way when you’re outside by using your family’s name. But now, your family is done. You are just a loser who doesn’t know how to earn money, Elaine is playing mahjong day in and day out without a proper job, your son-in-law is just a deadbeat moocher, thus, your entire family solely depends on your daughter’s income! I wonder what kind of sins did your daughter commit in her previous life that she was reincarnated into such a useless family and ended up with a loser husband. I pity her!”
Charlie grew a little agitated upon the mention of Claire.
He wouldn’t mind if they teased him or even his in-laws, but he would never allow them to comment about Claire.
Because she was his wife.
He frowned and said, “Uncle Philips, just mind your own business. Stop poking your nose into other family’s affairs.”
Aaron responded with a look of disdain, “Why? I’m just concerned about your family, am I wrong?”
Then, he stood up and blurted in an arrogant tone, “Yes, I think that it’s a pity for Jacob’s daughter to be in such a dysfunctional family. Look at me, I’m in the senior management of a petrochemical company. I earn a salary of twenty thousand a month just by reporting at work daily. When I retire at the age of 65, I’ll get a pension of around twenty thousand and 100% reimbursement for medical treatment!”
“My wife is a deputy manager of the company too, she earns fifteen thousand a month. When we both retire, our national pension will be worth forty thousand a month!”
“Now, look at Jacob and Elaine. They are in their fifties, but do not have a formal job. They won’t even have a pension when they are old. They will become a social burden, won’t they?”
Next, he pulled his son-in-law to stand beside him and said seriously, “Now, look at my son-in-law, the CEO of Aurous Continental Technology which will soon be listed on the GEM! His company’s revenue will reach about one to two billion a year, and he can be regarded as one of the top pioneers in Aurous Hill! Look at how our family is thriving, this is what a comfortable life should be!”
The flattering and envious voices resonated around them, everyone praising Aaron and Jake.
Indeed, their family’s career and their financial foundation were enviable among the crowd.
Aaron was indulging in the awe and admiration that was showered upon him at this moment as he glared disdainfully at Jacob and Charlie, thinking, ‘Huh, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time! It truly doesn’t disappoint me! I’m so excited and happy!’
However, he failed to notice the playful smirk on the corner of Charlie’s lips.
“Oh, are you and your wife working at the petrochemical company? And your son-in-law is the CEO of Aurous Continental Technology. Good to know. I was a bit worried about how to deal with you, but thankfully, you’ve revealed all of your information, thank you for that.”
