Chapter 28: A Good Son-inw
"We...."
Jacob was just about to exin 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 yearster, your
body will still be in good condition."
"We should concentrate on our career now. It won''t be toote to have children in a few years!"
As Kaley exined, 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 wille 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 suddenlye 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 rtives in Riverside City. That night,

after the Bells arrived at the hotel and greeted their rtives, Bruce came with his family members.
"Brian, congrattions 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-inw.
Bruce came with his wife, daughter, and son-inw.
Bruce only had one daughter, so Tripp, like Jacob, was also a live-in son-inw.
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 rtives present praised Tripp in unison.
Bruce was quite satisfied.
Brianughed and said, "Tripp is able to make achievements at such a young age. Bruce, your son-in-
"Brian, we feel ttered. Tripp is too busy with his career to apany Marry. They even had a little
conflict over this. My wife and I are worried for them! Unlike Jacob, he can apany Kaley every day.
Presumably, their rtionship 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-inw is busy with his career and he makes achievements, while my son-in-
...
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 noparison 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-inw.
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-inw. In his eyes, Tripp was the perfect son-inw.
Therefore, after learning that Brian had awakened, Bruce immediately came with his entire family.
Did Bruce really care about Brian? Did hee here to give Brien his best wishes?
No.
Otherwise, he would havee to visit Brian during the past three years when Brian was ina.
Bruce just wanted to show off his perfect son-inw.
Only when Brian was sober, Bruce''s action would be meaningful.
Bruce nned to show off inadvertently.
However, Brian did not react as he expected.
Brian did not feel that his useless son-inw humiliated him.
But it didn''t matter.
Bruce thought to himself. ''Since you pretend not to see through my n, then I''ll try harder.''
There was a difference between their sons-inw.
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 rtives 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 rtives.
They were all rare antiques like ancient jade, bracelets, and rings.
Those rtives were overjoyed.
They looked at Tripp with satisfaction.
"Bruce, your son-inw 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-inw and his vision.
Bruce wanted them topare him with Brian.
These people used do it, and they always praised Brian.
Bruce nned to encourage these rtives topare 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-inw, 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-inw. Moreover, he took delight in disgracing others and being
ttered by rtives.
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 rtives and friends turned to look at Jacob.
