Charlie pretended not to see her vicious glare. He turned his head around and said, “Dad, use the money to buy furniture and home appliances so that we can move into the villa as soon as possible.”
Alright!” Jacob carefully kept the card in his pocket and asked, “My good son-in-law, what is the password?”
“I’ll text you later.”
“Okay! I’ll head to the bank now to transfer the money into my card. This money must be earmarked. Remember to text me the password.”
“Alright. You go ahead, I’ll text you later.”
Standing at the side like an invisible person, Elaine was enraged.
What did Charlie mean anyway? Why couldn’t he just say the password in front of her? Did he deliberately try to keep her out of the loop? Damn!
Indeed, Charlie wanted to keep her out of the loop. He knew how unethical she was. As she might steal the money quietly, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Jacob got changed and headed out. He received the password from Charlie when he was almost at the bank. He inserted the card into the machine and checked, there were indeed two million in the card.
He was very astonished when he saw the actual amount on the machine, amazed by Charlie’s ability to generate two million from his feng shui shenanigans! He was truly amazing!
If Charlie kept doing his feng shui business for wealthy clients like this, he would make a fortune soon, wouldn’t he?
While surprised, Jacob entered his bank account number and transferred all the money to his own account. Immediately afterward, he checked his mobile banking app and was relieved when the money was safely transferred.
Just as he was about to leave the bank, he suddenly received another text from Charlie that said: [Dad, remember to change all the passwords on your phone, the lock screen password, your banking app password, your e-wallet apps, all of it! Better safe than sorry!]
Jacob felt as if a refreshing waterfall had washed over the top of his head and filled him with wisdom!
He felt fortunate for his good son-in-law’s reminder, otherwise, the minute he got home, it was highly likely that Elaine would get his phone and transfer all the money away!
Hence, he quickly changed all the passwords and replaced them with a new password that she could not possibly guess.
Sure enough, when Jacob returned home, Elaine hurried up to him and asked, “Dear, how was it? Was there really two million in the card?”
“Of course!” Jacob said in a cocky tone, “My son-in-law would never lie to me.”
“So, have you transferred all the money to your card?”
“Yes.” Jacob nodded, reluctant to continue the topic. “Where is Charlie?”
“He went out to buy groceries.”
“I have to call Claire and tell her that we’ll go to the furniture store for shopping tomorrow.”
“Does that mean we can move in right away after buying the furniture?”
Jacob huffed in annoyance. “If you buy so much furniture, don’t you have to wait for them to deliver and assemble it? It will take two or three days.”
Elaine said with a coy smile, “Oh, my husband knows so much. I don’t know any of it, I thought we could move in on the same day we bought them!”
Then, she leaned forward, rubbing her body against Jacob, and said in a soft tone, “Dear, Mel and the girls asked me to go to the beauty salon for a spa session, saying that it has a good effect on firming the body and skin, but I don’t have any money right now. Can you please transfer seventy or eighty thousand to me first? Pretty please…”
“No!” Jacob refused resolutely. “How can you think about going to the spa when our finances are in a dire situation now! Did you not learn any lesson from all of this?”
Elaine mumbled, “Dear, I do it for you. Do you want me to become a dull-faced housewife?”
“Huh, do you think you’re not one when you visit those expensive beauty salons every day in the past? To me, you have always been a dull-faced housewife!”
Elaine’s expression became gloomy. “Jacob Wilson, what do you mean?”
“Literally what I said,” Jacob snorted, “If you’re not happy with me, we will get a divorce, period!”
