The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



The family of four dined and wined to their heart's content. Jacob was already a little drunk, and he had already started to speak with a lisp. It was obvious at first glance that he had drunk too much. 3

Both Elaine and Claire could not hold their liquor very well, but after Elaine had heard that a bottle of wine costs more than a hundred thousand dollars, she ground her teeth and drank more than half a bottle of the wine. She drank until she was delirious, and she looked foolishly happy as she held onto the bottle of wine.

Claire drank less, and although her cheeks were also a little flushed, she was still very sober. When she saw that everyone had already dined and wined to their hearts' content and there was only an hour left to the concert, Claire then said to Charlie, "Husband, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. The both of us can just head to the concert directly in a short while!" 1

Charlie nodded, and he smiled as he said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you downstairs." 1

At this time, Elaine, who was already drunk, held the bottle of Lafite red wine in her arms as she said emotionally, "Sigh... I, Elaine, really... really did not expect that our family would be able to live... live like

how we are living today. We can drive luxury cars, live in a luxury villa, use skincare products that cost more than hundred of thousands of dollars a set, and even drink premium red wine that costs more than a hundred thousand dollars a bottle... D*mn... Lady Wilson herself would never have enjoyed this kind of treatment before even during her best and most glorious moment!"

Jacob, who was also under the influence of alcohol, was also a little emotional as he said, "Who... Who would not say that? My... My mother's old... old villa is so old and dilapidated. It has not even looked like a villa anymore for a long time now. How could it be compared to our family's villa at Thompson First?"

Elaine rarely agreed with Jacob's words, but she nodded as she said, "Jacob, this is our family's destiny! If I did not give you such a good daughter, would we have had what we have today, then?"

As she spoke, Elaine then said a little indignantly," When you married me and brought me into your family back then, your whole family looked down on me and despised me, especially your mother. In her eyes, I only managed to marry into your family because I was pregnant with your child. She thinks that I managed to climb up the social ladder because I married you..."

Speaking of this, Elaine's eyes were a little flushed red as she said, "At that time, the more disgusted she was with me, the more she liked Hannah. Hannah was different! She was beautiful, and she also knew how to please and make Lady Wilson happy. Lady Wilson would feel very respectable if she brought a daughter-! n-law such as Hannah out with her, unlike me, who was born in a rural area. I was not as beautiful as Hannah, and I did not dress as fashionably as she did. It felt as though I embarrassed the Wilson family. Do you know how many times people rolled their eyes at me and how much anger I have suffered throughout so many years in your family?" 2

Elaine paused for a moment, and she rubbed her eyes before she sighed and spoke up, "But look now! Regardless of whether it is your mother or your brother's family, which one of them would be living a better life as compared to us?"

Jacob awkwardly forced a laugh twice, and he did not say anything.

Elaine then questioned him, "Jacob, why aren't you saying anything?! I asked you a question! Tell me. Who is living a better life as compared to us?" 2

Jacob said helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right, okay?"

Elaine felt very aggrieved, and she could not help but choke up and say, "You only know how to brush me off! We have been married for so many years, but you always act as though you are very aggrieved. Have you ever thought about how aggrieved I am in my heart?!"

Jacob could not help but scratch his head as he forced a laugh and say, "Sigh! It has already been so many years now. So, why are you talking about this now?"

Elaine blurted out, "If I don't say it out, I'll feel very suffocated keeping it to myself! Don't think that I do not know that all of the members of the Wilson family despise me and look down on me from the bottom of your hearts!" 3

Jacob sighed as he quibbled, "Sigh! No one despises you. You're thinking too much..."

Elaine cried and said, "Jacob, you have to have a clear conscience when you speak. Why don't you tell me how much anger and grief your family has given me over the years, then? Not to mention me, but speak for yourself. How much anger and grief have your mother and your elder brother's family caused you to suffer over the years?"

When Jacob heard this, he could not help but feel a little sadness deep in his heart.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

For so many years, even though he

had always looked very

muddle-headed and aloof on the surface, he could clearly remember all of the discrimination and

exclusion that he had endured. they were to talk about their

grievances, Elaine would not be the only one who had suffered a lot of grievances, but Jacob himself had also suffered his fair share of grievances.

When Jacob saw Elaine crying so miserably, Jacob suddenly felt a little distressed for Elaine.

He did not know whether this was coming from the bottom of his heart, or whether it was because he was under the influence of alcohol. Jacob stepped forward and patted Elaine gently on her shoulder as he sighed and said, "Sigh... You have also suffered a lot of grievances for so many years."

Jacob's words instantly touched the depths of Elaine's heart, and she hugged Jacob's waist before she started crying out loud. As for Jacob, he also felt tears welling up in his eyes as he patted her back, i

At this time, Claire had just come down from upstairs, and she was startled when she saw this situation unfolding before her. She wanted to speak up, but it seemed like a rare occasion that her parents could actually snuggle and hug each other. So, she hurriedly came to Charlie's side and asked in a low voice," Husband, what happened to my parents?" 4
