The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

He could not help but think to himself, 'It seems that I can't throw this antique business away. Half of my happiness comes from this place... I can come here and have some fun every now and then if I'm not so busy with work from Don Albert in the future.'

Zachary was happily making plans in his mind when a familiar and delighted voice that carried a hint of surprise sounded, "Oh, Zachary, when did you come back to set up a stall again?"

Zachary looked and said with a respectful expression, "Oh, Mr. Jacob! I haven't seen you in a while!"

The person who had spoken up was none other than Charlie's father-in-law, Jacob.

Although Jacob was now the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, his love for antiques remained the same as it was before.

Some time ago, he was not in a very good mood after he fell out of love, so he had not come here for quite some time.

He regained his composure a little over the past two days, and it happened to be the weekend, so he came up with the idea of visiting Antique Street again.noveldrama

Jacob did not expect to run into an acquaintance, Zachary, as soon as he arrived.

He felt very proud when Zachary addressed him respectfully as Mr. Jacob. He placed his hands behind his back, with the posture of a leader, and said with a smile, “Zachary, I heard that you started working for Don Albert and became his advisor. Why are you back in Antique Street?"

Zachary smiled and said, "Mr. Jacob, you are really observant and alert. Nothing in Aurous Hill can be hidden from you!"

Jacob felt smug at being complimented but still said pretentiously, "Zachary, you don't need to flatter me, but there is really nothing that I, Jacob Wilson, cannot figure out in Aurous Hill."

Zachary nodded and said attentively, "Mr. Jacob, to be honest with you, after working with Don Albert for a while, I feel that the job might not be suitable for me, so I came back to pick up on my old job."

Jacob did not have any doubts, nodded, and said, "You're born to be in the antique business. In fact, I have to say that you're my lucky star in this industry. The first big thing that sold was worth five hundred thousand dollars. I've not managed to sell another big thing after you quit this business."

After saying that, Jacob said again, "Oh, that's right, I did collect some small items one after the other some time ago. I will show them to you, and I will sell all of them to you if you offer the right price for the items."

Zachary thought of his painful experience of spending five hundred thousand dollars to buy a fake from Jacob. If it wasn't for Charlie, would he have spent the money unjustly?

As he thought of this, he chuckled and quickly said, "No, Mr. Jacob, I won't be buying anything now."

"You won't be buying anything?" Jacob frowned, pointed at the pile of items in his stall, and asked, “Where did you get these things if you're not buying anything anymore? You can't possibly be making them at home, right?"

Zachary said, "Mr. Jacob, to be honest with you, I'm going to adjust my business direction from now on. In that past, I would mess with everything regardless of whether it was take or real, but there is a risk of being blinded. I had been blinded before and spent hundreds of thousands to buy a crappy thing that was not even worth ten dollars, so I lost half of my income in one fell swoop..."

After saying that, he glanced at Jacob nervously. When he saw that Jacob did not seem to understand the meaning of his words, he quickly said, "Mr. Jacob, I will change the way do business now, and twill

only sell fakes, so I will only accept fakes..."

Jacob frowned and said, "What do you mean? Are you going to be a full-time swindler?"

Zachary laughed and said, "Well, you can think of it that way..."
