It's truly a blessing forto be able to get an awesson-in-law like you..." 4 Jacob, who was sitting at the side all along, sighed repeatedly. He knew that Charlie had a knack in sway. When he said he would get them, he would. 2 However, it was quite hard for him to swallow when he thought of Elaine using cosmetics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. 3 At this moment, Charlie just happened to say to him," By the way, dad, are you using the car today?

As soon as Charlie drove Jacob's BMW out of the house, Jacob lamented, "Hey, Charlie, you're so silly! Why did you promise that b*tch Elaine such an expensive skincare product? Don't you see that she doesn't deserve even a drop of it?" Charlie smiled. "Dad, it's only a hundred thousand or s 0, it's not a big deal. Besides, I have friends, so getting a set of cosmetics is a breeze." 2 Jacob couldn't help lamenting, "Oh my, it's such a waste of money!" Charlie smiled quietly.

It was not a big deal. 5 The point was if the petty gain was enough to make his mother-in-law respectful of him, it was worth every penny of it. a Jacob, who was fiddling on the side, asked, "Hey, Charlie, by the way, urn... Can I... ask you for a favor?" 2 Charlie nodded. "Yes, dad, just tell me. Why are you being so polite to me?" Jacob grinned sheepishly. Then, he rubbed his hands, and said, "Well, since you have access to the products, could you getan extra set?"

Jacob chuckled embarrassedly.
"Okay, I'm going to tell you the truth.
