The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3076

Claire wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled as she said, "It might look like there are a lot of dishes, but it will not seem too much when we eat it.

Moreover, since it's your birthday dinner, it’s only natural for it to be a little grander. Besides, it was no hard work at all." 2

Jacob also smiled and said, "Charlie, why don't the both of us have a drink together too?"

Charlie nodded and said, "Of course I will have to drink with you. I’ll go to the storage room and get some liquor."

Elaine hurriedly said, "Charlie, bring a bottle of red wine here too. Claire and I can also drink a little with you."

"Okay," Charlie agreed before he asked Claire, "Wife, can you drink?”

Claire nodded as she smiled and said, "I’ll have to drink even if I cannot drink, but if the both of us are going to drink, we will not be able to drive to the concert later."

Charlie spoke up, "It's fine. I have a way to metabolize all the alcohol within a short period of time."

Claire laughed helplessly and said, "You can really

brag. You are even saying that you can metabolize alcohol now. Do you know that it takes more than ten hours to metabolize alcohol? Not driving after drinking alcohol is a matter of principle. You cannot take the risk just because you are good at holding your liquor.” 2

Charlie could actually use Reiki to metabolize all the alcohol, but he also knew that his wife would not believe him. In that case, he did not need to explain too much.

So, Charlie simply smiled and said, "You’re right, Wife. We shouldn't drive since we are drinking. We can do this, then. We can drink now, and we can then use our cell phone to call for a taxi when we want to go to the concert later."

"That's more like it!" Claire laughed and said, "It'd be good for us not to drive today too. There would be at least tens of thousands of people at Quinn Golding's concert today. Therefore, the parking at the venue would also be very troublesome. So, we might as well take a taxi there. After that, we can just walk back home from the venue after the concert. I estimate that it will only take us about thirty to forty minutes to walk back. We can just treat it as a walk, right?"

Jacob clutched onto his chest as he said to Charlie and Claire, "Did you see that? It is Charlie’s birthday today, but your mum just has to try and piss me off! Perhaps in the future, Charlie's birthday would also be the anniversary of my death. My good son-in-law, I'm sorry for giving you a hard time!"

Claire also felt helpless, and she spoke up, "Oh, Mom! You should just stop talking about it. Aren't you also using skincare products that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for each set? Dad did not say anything about it at all. So, why are you constantly nagging at him?"

Jacob's eyes lit up immediately, and he blurted out excitedly, "That's right! Elaine! You said that my old face is not worthy of drinking Moutai that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, why is your old face worthy of using skincare products that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, then? Don't forget that we are a couple! No matter what it is, the both of u s are quite similar in strength. So, if you said that I am the donkey pulling the mill, you must be the camel that is carrying the cargo, then. Who is better than

whom?”

Elaine felt as though she had been greatly humiliated, and she cursed angrily, "D*mn you, you old fart! How can a good-for-nothing like you be compared to me? Your old face is all wrinkly like a shaggy dog, and it is nothing like my smooth and fair face! So, how dare you say that the both of us are quite similar in strength?"

Jacob was extremely angry, and he looked at Charlie i n frustration and anger as he blurted out, "Look! I said that it would be a complete waste for you to give her such an expensive set of skincare products. That skincare product would be more suitable to be used o n a dog's face as compared to her face! You should have listened to me back then and given her a set of fake products in the first place! Anyway, a country bumpkin like her would not have been able to tell the difference!" 4
