The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Claire originally did not know that Jacob had been drinking.

However, after approaching Jacob, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol from his body. She could not help but feel very angry at her father at this time! She knew that her father normally enjoyed drinking. She has absolutely no opinion on his actions at all. However, the point was that her father told her that he would be going to several mahjong halls to look fo her mother. Why did he cback drunk then? This...this simply proved that he did not go to look for her mother at all! He simply went out to...drink! When Jacob heard Claire asking if he had been drinking, Jacob hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back as he was in a state of panic. After that, he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense! I was not drinking!" "You are the one who is talking nonsense right now!" Claire stomped her feet angrily, "I can smell the scent of alcohol on your body! You did not have the scent of alcohol on your body when you left the house earlier but there is a strong smell of alcohol on your body now! You must have just been drinking!" As she spoke, Claire fixed her eyes on Jacob's collar and she noticed a few drops of oil on his collar. At this time, her eyes flashed red as she said angrily, "Mom is already missing and we cannot find her at all. At this time, you did not even bother to go out to look for her but you are even eating and drinking happily all by yourself! Are you really that happy?" 1 Jacob replied in an embarrassed manner, "Oh, my.......I really did not..." Claire replied angrily, "Dad, do you really think that I will believe you?" 1 Jacob knew that there was no way that he would be able to get out of this situation. Therefore, he could only look at Charlie as he said, "Charlie was the one who askedto go out for a drink!" 6 After he spoke, Jacob hurriedly winked at Charlie as though he was implying that he was a good son-in-law and he wanted him to bear the blfor him first.

Charlie quickly replied without any hesitation as he nodded and said, "That's right. That's right. Dad is right. I was the one who asked him out for a drink." 6 In fact, Charlie knew very well that he did not drink a single drop of alcohol at all. On the other hand, Jacob was already extremely drunk. The more Jacob said that this was Charlie's idea, the less Claire would actually believe his words, i True enough, Claire stomped her feet angrily before she said, "Dad, you are still pushing the blto Charlie at a tlike this? Can't you be more gentlemanly at a tlike this?" Jacob had a gloomy expression on his face as he said," I am telling you the truth. I cannot do anything to help you if you refuse to believe me." After he was done speaking, Jacob hurriedly said, "Oh, I must really be getting old. It is just a little after ten o'clock at night and I am already feeling so tired and lethargic. I am going back to my bedroom to rest first." Claire wanted to stop him but her father quickly ran away without looking back at all.

At this time, Claire looked at Charlie out of desperation as she said, "You are also to blame! I called you to ask you about your whereabouts but you toldthat you were looking around different mahjong halls when you actually took my dad out to eat and drink!" 1 Charlie coughed slightly before he said, "Well, your dad said that he was feeling hungry and uncomfortable. How could I possibly drag an old man around the streets withwhen he is hungry? Don't you think that he would be vulnerable to danger if he fainted due to low blood sugar?" 5 "But you shouldn't have lied to me! Couldn't you have toldthe truth and said that both of you were eating?" Charlie was at a loss for words and did not know how to reply to Claire's sudden question. He felt that it was indeed a fact that he did not handle this matter properly. Charlie really did not expect Claire to find out that Jacob had been drinking. If he knew that this would happen, he would not have brought Jacob to the barbeque stall at all. s

Therefore, Charlie could only apologize sincerely as he said, "I am really sorry, my dear wife. Ishouldn't ve have lie to you about this matter. However, dad toldnot to tell you about it so I couldn't tell you the truth over the phone." 2 Charlie did not feel guilty at all when he said this. 1 After all, they were simply pushing the blto one another. Since the old man was not here, it was only natural for Charlie to push the blback to him. 5

Claire believed in Charlie's words immediately and she really thought that this was all her father's idea. She knew that Charlie must have been forced to lie to her because he could not possibly tell her the truth when he was sitting right next to her father.

Although she was not as angry, she still felt seriously wronged at this time. She sighed before she broke down emotionally and said, "Charlie, my mother is missing. My father does not care about her at all, and it seems as though you do not care about her either! How am I going to find her on my own? If something bad happened to my mother, how could I possibly live with it for the rest of my life? I will never be able to forgive myself until the day I die!" 5 Charlie hurriedly comforted Claire as he said, "Don't think too much about it. Nothing bad will happen to your mother." Like RICH WOMEN?
