Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 28: A Good Son-in-law

"We...."

Jacob was just about to explain that he and Kaley had decided to divorce.

However, as soon as Jacob spoke, he was interrupted by Kaley.

Kaley immediately walked forward and said coquettishly, "Dad, you are young. Ten years later, your

body will still be in good condition."

"We should concentrate on our career now. It won't be too late to have children in a few years!"

As Kaley explained, her face went redder.

She didn't even dare to look at Jacob.

Jacob was shocked.

What did Kaley mean?

However, since Kaley had said so, Jacob stopped talking about divorce.

Brian shook his head and said, "Young people always make such an excuse. When your mother and I

were at your age, you were able to run around for fun...."

"Dad!" Kaley said coquettishly.

"Alright, I won't chatter on it anymore. You guys have your own ideas. Just follow your heart." Brian

continued, "Tonight, your uncle will come from South Riverside Province. Kaley, pick a hotel and

entertain them well!"

Hearing this, Kaley frowned slightly. In the past three years when her father was ill, her uncle never

visited them. Why did he suddenly come here?

In fact, two families were on bad terms.

After saying that, Brian chatted with Jacob.

That afternoon, Jacob and Kaley didn't get divorced.

Kaley booked the restaurant and also invited some friends and relatives in Riverside City. That night,

after the Bells arrived at the hotel and greeted their relatives, Bruce came with his family members.

"Brian, congratulations on your recovery."

"Fiona, you look younger."

"Kaley, you're even more beautiful."

"Hayley, I haven't seen you for a year or two. You're getting more and more beautiful. You're about to

graduate, aren't you?"

After Bruce arrived, he and Brian's family exchanged the usual pleasantries.

However, from the beginning to the end, Bruce didn't mention Jacob, as if Jacob had been ignored.

...

"Tripp, hurry up and meet your uncle." Then, Bruce called a handsome young man behind him.

This person was Tripp's new son-in-law.

Bruce came with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law.

Bruce only had one daughter, so Tripp, like Jacob, was also a live-in son-in-law.

When Tripp heard Bruce call him, he immediately walked forward with a gentle smile on his face and

greeted everyone politely.

It seemed he didn't discover that besides Kaley and the others, there was another person present until

the end.

Tripp said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't notice you just now. You are Kaley's husband, right? Hello, my

name is Tripp. Please assist me in any way you can!"

"I'm Jacob!" Jacob said with a meaningful smile on his face.

As soon as Jacob finished, Bruce's daughter, Marry, snorted, "You are just a useless man. Stop being

cocky."

Instantly, Brian's family got angry.

They knew that Bruce deliberately ignored Jacob.

Now, Marry was more direct.

"Marry, don't be rude!" Bruce berated.

Then he looked at Brian and chuckled. "Brian, I spoil her. She is fastidious. She even scolds Trip, who

just got promoted to a deputy director...."

Bruce was talking about his daughter.

However, anyone could tell that Bruce was proud of Tripp, who had just been promoted to deputy

director.

Immediately, all the other relatives present praised Tripp in unison.

Bruce was quite satisfied.

Brian laughed and said, "Tripp is able to make achievements at such a young age. Bruce, your son-in-

law is promising!"

"Brian, we feel flattered. Tripp is too busy with his career to accompany Marry. They even had a little

conflict over this. My wife and I are worried for them! Unlike Jacob, he can accompany Kaley every day.

Presumably, their relationship must be very harmonious. Brian, you can enjoy the happiness of family

union. I'm very envious of you. "

Bruce had a look of envy.

Hearing these words, Brian did not express anything, but Fiona was unhappy.

'You mean that your son-in-law is busy with his career and he makes achievements, while my son-in- novelbin

law has nothing to do every day, so he spends a lot of time with his wife, right?'

...

Fiona wanted to refute.

However, Brian shook his head at her, signaling her not to bother arguing with Bruce.

Although Fiona was a snobbish person, she listened to her husband.

Therefore, she said nothing.

However, her expression was cold.

When Bruce saw that Brian was still as calm as ever, a trace of displeasure surged through him.

Bruce wanted Brian to be upset.

Ever since Bruce was young, he was no match for Brian at everything.

Even his wife was less beautiful than Brian's.

Besides, Bruce's daughter stood no comparison with Kaley in all aspects.

Bruce thought that he would never have the chance to defeat his brother.

Bruce never expected that Brian would find a useless son-in-law.

After hearing this news, Bruce was excited for several days.

He felt that he finally got an opportunity to disgrace Brian.

Therefore, Bruce was careful to choose his son-in-law. In his eyes, Tripp was the perfect son-in-law.

Therefore, after learning that Brian had awakened, Bruce immediately came with his entire family.

Did Bruce really care about Brian? Did he come here to give Brien his best wishes?

No.

Otherwise, he would have come to visit Brian during the past three years when Brian was in coma.

Bruce just wanted to show off his perfect son-in-law.

Only when Brian was sober, Bruce's action would be meaningful.

Bruce planned to show off inadvertently.

However, Brian did not react as he expected.

Brian did not feel that his useless son-in-law humiliated him.

But it didn't matter.

Bruce thought to himself. 'Since you pretend not to see through my plan, then I'll try harder.'

There was a difference between their sons-in-law.

It was a big difference.

Bruce gave Tripp another look.

Tripp instantly understood.

Then, he walked forward again. There was a packed box in his hand.

Tripp walked over to Brian and said, "Brian, you have just recovered. I have a gift for you. This is a

hundred-year-old ginseng that I entrusted my friend to buy. I hope it can make you stronger!"

After that, Tripp opened the box in his hand.

There was ginseng of high quality inside.

Moreover, it also gave off a faint earthy smell that belonged solely to ginseng.

"I've never seen ginseng with such a good color."

"And it's so big."

"It must be very valuable!"

Those relatives looked with envy at this ginseng.

With a triumphant smile, Tripp continued calmly, "Uncles and aunts, I have brought gifts for you as

well."

Afterwards, Tripp took out gifts one after another and gave them to the other elders and relatives.

They were all rare antiques like ancient jade, bracelets, and rings.

Those relatives were overjoyed.

They looked at Tripp with satisfaction.

"Bruce, your son-in-law is outstanding. You are a man of vision!"

Everyone was praising Tripp.

Hearing these remarks, Bruce was satisfied.

However, this was not enough.

It was not enough just to praise his son-in-law and his vision.

Bruce wanted them to compare him with Brian.

These people used do it, and they always praised Brian.

Bruce planned to encourage these relatives to compare him with Brian again. Now, they would praise

him!

Thus, Bruce gave Tripp another look.

It had to be said that Tripp and Bruce had a tacit understanding. Tripp knew that if he pleased his

father-in-law, Bruce would treat him as his own son. Only then would Bruce spare no effort to help him

in his career. Meanwhile, Bruce's inheritance would be his.

Tripp was very happy to help his father-in-law. Moreover, he took delight in disgracing others and being

flattered by relatives.

Therefore, Tripp immediately stood out.

"Brian, I came in a hurry today. Other than ginseng, I didn't prepare any other gifts for you. Please

forgive me. I wonder what Jacob has prepared for you. I'm a little curious. After all, Jacob spends a lot

time of time with you. He should understand your preferences. I want to take a look, so I will know what

I should prepare next time."

As soon as Tripp finished, all the relatives and friends turned to look at Jacob.
