The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3755

"This is a gift for Charlie?" Elaine was confused at Jacob's explanation. "Jacob, what do you mean?"

Jacob quickly explained, "Charlie, didn’t you help Ms. Jane with her villa's Feng Shui today? Ms. Jane dropped by the association today to express her gratitude. She's very thankful for your service today, and was impressed by your professionalism. She wanted to pay you for the service, but you refused to accept it. Ms. Jane felt bad and decided to buy this car under my name instead. She directly shipped the car t o the association and requested me to accept her gratitude!"

Upon learning the truth, Claire began to lecture her father. "Dad, how can you act on your own accord? Why did you accept such an expensive gift for Charlie?"

Jacob replied innocently, "Claire, I didn’t plan to accept it, but the car was already under my name. Even if I reject it, the car still legally belongs to me. I was stuck in a difficult position too..."

With that, he hurriedly turned to Charlie and explained, "Charlie, I didn't plan to accept it on your behalf, but I had no choice. Ms. Jane was too thoughtful. Knowing that you wouldn't accept the money, she directly purchased the car in my name and gave it to me. She claimed to dislike owing people

favors the most. If I didn't accept the car, she wouldn't sponsor our local art exhibition anymore. Mr. Bay strongly advised me to accept the car as well...”

At this, Claire got a little angry. "Dad! Even if Ms. Jane directly purchased the car in your name, you should've at least called Charlie and asked for his opinion! How can you accept it on his behalf before telling him?”

Jacob felt embarrassed by Claire’s admonition. "Ah, I... W-well, I was afraid of letting Ms. Jane down... You see, Ms. Jane isn't just Charlie's client. She’s also an important patron to our association...”

Charlie smiled gently and finally said, "Claire, it's fine. Dad had no choice but to accept the car anyway. You should stop blaming him."

Jacob was relieved, touched to hear that from Charlie. He said excitedly, "Oh, Charlie! You’re so understanding!"
