The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Elaine was utterly shocked by Jacob’s raucous grunt!
She knew that, at this moment, she couldn’t keep the secret anymore, so she mumbled in a sheepish and shaky voice, “Dear,
I’m sorry, I lost all our money in the mahjong...”
She didn’t dare to tell the truth about Hannah being the mastermind behind the scam, because she knew that if the Wilson family
knew about her involvement in the scam despite being a victim, they would come to her first since they were looking for Hannah
frantically.
Of course, she was not doing this to protect Charlie, she simply didn’t want to invite trouble for herself. All those people were
reported as missing persons after Don Albert sent them to the coal mine, she feared that she might be dragged into this mess if
an investigation was executed regarding their missing status.
Thus, she could only say that she lost the money on gambling but not the scamming part.
Jacob was up in arms about her confession that she lost more than two million in mahjong that he slapped her hard in the face
and shouted, “Damn you, fucking woman! How could you?! How could you possibly lose more than two million? Do you know
how long it took us to save that much?”
This was the very first time Elaine was physically beaten after marrying Jacob for decades. The slap on her face was so
relentless and unexpected that it made her stun in a daze!
Elaine covered her swelling cheek for a short while before regaining her composure and howled in agitation, “Jacob Wilson! How
dare you slap me?!”
“Huh!” Jacob gritted his teeth in great dismay. “Take this, fucking woman!”
Then, he raised his hand and slapped her face again.
Jacob was cheesed off by the fact that he couldn’t hold himself down. He grabbed Elaine’s hair, slapping her face over and over
again as he cursed, “Mahjong! Gamble! You have lost all our hard-earned money, you fucking useless bitch! Not only will I kill
you, but I’ll also divorce you!”
Claire was taken aback by the horrid scene and wanted to stop the fight, but Jacob growled, “Don’t stop me! I want to kill this
bitch and completely draw a line with her today!”

Elaine’s blood boiled as she was being slapped so vigorously that her face was drenched with her blood and saliva, but Jacob’s
remark made her panic!
She knew Jacob’s temperament very well after being married for decades. Jacob was truly furious right now!
A person who rarely got angry blew a casket abruptly which indicated that he was very angry!
If Jacob divorced her now, she would be left alone!!
No, she didn’t want that to happen, so she endured the pain of being slapped and cried, “Dear, I’m sorry... I’m so sorry... please
forgive me!”
Then, she knelt on the floor as her legs went jelly. She grabbed Jacob’s leg like a koala hanging tightly to the tree trunk and
wailed, “Dear, I didn’t want to lose so much money, but I was out of my mind that day, my so-called friends deceived and
scammed me. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Dear, I’ve learned my lesson, please forgive me!”
“Learn your lesson?” Jacob glared at her and chided, “If you learned your lesson, why didn’t you tell me immediately? Why didn’t
you tell me anything at all? If you learned your lesson, why were you being so self-righteous and cocky to me earlier? Do you
think this matter will just go away like it never happened if you didn’t let me see the account balance?! Do you think I’ll let this
matter slip just because you kneel before me and beg for my forgiveness? No way! Listen to me carefully, Elaine Parker, I want
to divorce you, and it’s final! First thing tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce
procedure. I want to end this horrible marriage with you!”
Claire bit her lips in despair as she listened to her father’s indignant statement. No child in the world would want to see their
parents divorce...
