The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5907

Jacob said unhappily, “Of course, I'm not clumsy. It’s not as if you don’t know about my financial situation. Elaine handles all the money at home, and I can barely save a few thousand dollars. So, no matter what antique I'm looking at, I'm always extremely cautious. I'm afraid of dropping, touching, or being accused by others that I was tampering with something…”

At this point, Jacob continued speaking with frustration, “That day, that jade vase also seemed to be cursed as well. As soon as I touched it, it slipped out of my hand like it was greased. It fell to the ground and shattered to pieces. Perhaps Mr. Cole was the one who deliberately set me up.”

Charlie wondered, “Dad, after the jade vase broke, I repaired it with egg whites. I don't remember it being greased, and I recall that its surface wasn't very smooth because it's from the Tang Dynasty. Its glaze was rather rough, and it had a certain sanding feel when held. How could it slip from your hand?”

“Well…” Jacob, who was on the other end of the line, hesitated as he couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for the incident.

Charlie guided him and said, “Dad, that matter has been resolved satisfactorily, so you don't have to feel burdened anymore. Let's leave it at that. I'm just curious about what happened at the time, so you can just tell me directly.”

Jacob thought to himself, ‘Charlie is right. Although I caused a big mess back then and even got slapped, fortunately, Charlie resolved the matter on the spot. The vase that he repaired was even praised by Jasmine herself, who said that its value had greatly increased. I don't need to feel psychologically burdened because of this.’

With that in mind, he sighed and said, “My dear son-in-law, I didn't want to tell you the truth because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me and would think I was talking nonsense.”

Upon hearing this, Charlie knew there were hidden details he didn't know, so he quickly said, “Oh, Dad, aren’t we just chatting? Even if you told me the vase jumped from your hand by itself, I would believe you.”
