The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie was amazed by Kylie's ability. Suddenly, he heard some loud honking noises in the yard.

Charlie then heard Elaine screaming profanity from her room on the third floor. "Who the heck is honking nonstop? Are you crazy?!"

The honking noises downstairs finally stopped. Then, Jacob's loud voice followed. He shouted, "Elaine, Charlie, come out and see my new car!"

Charlie could hear Elaine's footsteps from upstairs right after that. Elaine limped and hurried to the balcony.

Charlie was in his bedroom on the second floor during the commotion. He was distracted by the commotion, and glanced down from the window.

Jacob was standing in front of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the villa's courtyard, his face full of excitement and pride.

Elaine stood on the third-floor balcony as she looked down. When she saw Jacob with an unfamiliarlooking car that looked like an SUV or a four-wheel drive, she was shocked. "Jacob, is that your new car?" Jacob grinned smugly. "That's right! Why don't you come down and take a look?"

Elaine pouted and complained, "It's just another Jeep.

What's there to see? How can it be better than your BMW? Wait, did you sell your BMW to buy this junk?"

Every SUV and four-wheel drive looked like a Jeep to Elaine. The vast majority of elderly people who were not knowledgeable about cars would collectively refer to any brand of SUV and four-wheel drive as Jeep cars.

Jacob was outraged to hear Elaine's claims. He refuted hotly, "Elaine, oh, Elaine! You're so shortsighted! How can this be any Jeep?! This is a Rolls-Royce Cullinan! Not only that, but it's a Black Badge model! Have you heard of Rolls-Royce?!" Elaine was stunned and widened her eyes in surprise. She blurted out, "Wait, what? My god! What did you say? A Rolls-Royce?!"

Jacob pointed at the gold statue at the front of the car and announced smugly, "You may not know cars well, but how can you not have. heard of Rolls-Royce before? Here, look at this gold status! Do you recognize it now?"

Elaine gushed, "Oh dear! Aren't Roll Royces mostly big sedans? When did they release a Jeep?"

"You're still calling it a Jeep!" Jacob lectured her, disdainful. "This is called an SUV! This is the most expensive SUV in the world!"

Elaine asked again, "The most expensive in the world? How expensive can it be?"

Jacob snorted with pride, "How expensive can it be?

Well, I'll share it with you! It's worth at least ten

million dollars!"

"Oh my goodness!" Elaine exclaimed. "At least ten million dollars? The car's worth ten million dollars or more?! Oh, dear! Stay there and wait for me!"

Elaine limped away and hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.

Charlie was both puzzled and surprised by Jacob's new car as

well. He was aware of the

Rolls-Royce Cullinan. A simple

version of the car would start a net

around eight million dollars. A Black Badge model could easily cost more than ten million dollars.

Charlie couldn't understand how his father-in-law could afford such an expensive car. Firstly, Jacob was never rich. His income from the Calligraphy and Painting Association could barely support his daily expenses. How could he possibly afford a new Cullinan?

With that thought in mind, Charlie hurriedly left his room and rushed downstairs to the yard.

Elaine was already downstairs, lying on the hood of the brand new Rolls-Royce Cullinan. She scrutinized the gold status in front of the car with a keen eye.

As she did so, she squealed in excitement, "Oh my god! It really is a Rolls-Royce! I've heard of this gold status before! This alone is easily worth one or two hundred thousand! Is it really made of gold?"
