The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5906

Vera's question immediately shocked Charlie. Upon careful consideration, Vera seemed to be making a valid point. If this was indeed a grand plan that had been in the making for over twenty years, no one would rely on an unreliable man to execute such a crucial part of the plan.

Jacob's unreliability was well-known, and Charlie probably understood it better than anyone else. Although Jacob was his father-in-law, Charlie could responsibly say that if the success or failure of a major event depended on him, the chances of success would likely be slim.

So, he immediately picked up his phone and called his father-in-law, Jacob.

At that moment, Jacob was fiddling with his phone as he lay in his room at Thompson First. Ever since Matilda had gotten together with Yolden, he had lost all sense of joy in his life. In addition, Elaine, whom he found irritating and detestable, was also at home. So, the best way for him to pass the time was to hide in his room and play on his phone without going anywhere.

He was somewhat surprised when he suddenly received a call from Charlie. After all, Charlie had been away to help a client take a look at his Feng Shui for some time now and hadn't been home for several days nor had he been in touch with him.

So, he answered the call and asked curiously, “My dear son-in-law, why are you calling me so late at night?”

Charlie explained, “My current clients are quite interested in antiques, so we talked about Vintage Deluxe, and it turns out that he knows Raymond as well. So, I wanted to ask how you got to know him.”

Jacob muttered grumpily, “I met him at Vintage Deluxe. I was interested in antiques and calligraphy at the time and was always hoping to find some hidden treasures at Antique Street, so I often went to Vintage Deluxe. He was very polite to me when he first became the manager at Vintage Deluxe, and he would personally receive me every time I went there. He even added me on WhatsApp and was always flattering me with compliments. But that bastard turned his back on me faster than turning the pages of a book. When I accidentally broke the jade vase, he actually slapped me and got his men to beat me up. He turned his back on me so quickly!”

When Charlie saw that Jacob had taken the initiative to bring up the jade vase, he quickly followed up and asked, “That's right, I still haven't figured out what happened with the vase that day. How did you accidentally drop the jade vase when you were looking at things in the VIP room? You're not usually this clumsy in your daily life.”
