But her daughter did, and she could leverage her daughter’s good fortune! “Dawson, if you think Jacob being a divorcee is a problem, why not support our Lina?”
“Old Ivan and I don’t mind that; mainly, our Lina is indeed getting older, finding a second marriage partner is quite good!”
Seeing her sister silent, Brynlee looked at Dawson.
Such a son-in-law worth billions is hard to come by; she genuinely wanted to fight for her daughter!
“Let the kids decide for themselves!”
“If Guan really likes Jacob, her mother and I can’t stop her.”
Dawson found a way to back down; his thoughts were similar to his wife Daniela’s. Once 688 transformed from a number into a tangible asset, his mindset shifted dramatically.
What parent doesn’t wish for their children to live a prosperous life?
Ordinary people care about issues like divorce and child-rearing mainly from an economic perspective. More children mean more expenses, and it also involves property division in the future.
However, for wealthy individuals, these issues are not really problems. As long as the second generation doesn’t start a business or get involved in gambling or drugs, they will live a life of luxury for their entire lives.
Daniela felt that her husband spoke wisely, and she nodded in agreement: “Dawson is right; let the kids choose for themselves!”
While Daniela said this, she was secretly planning to give her daughter a lesson when they got home, urging her to seize this opportunity.
Although Jacob was divorced and had children, at his age, this young and wealthy image would definitely attract countless young girls.
Among the wealthy people she had encountered, many greasy old men were surrounded by girls in their twenties, let alone someone as promising as Jacob! It was easy for him to be snatched away by another woman; young girls are quite formidable these days! Seeing her sister and brother-in-law united in their stance.
Brynlee let out a disappointed sigh. She knew that her feelings were one-sided; even if Guan didn’t end up with Jacob, her daughter Lina might not be able to win over this young rich man.
Because her daughter’s overall condition was indeed not as good as her niece Guan’s, and most importantly, there was an age gap of several years.
For a young rich man like Jacob, who only had one daughter, the first consideration would definitely be reproductive value. The younger, the more advantageous it is in this regard.
The four of them took a big round in the mansion and then met up with Jacob and Guan on the balcony.
The view from the balcony was excellent, overlooking the entire District and the scenery on both sides, truly a first-line river view, with no obstructions in front.
Placing two rattan chairs on this balcony, lying back to enjoy the river view must be incredibly pleasant.
“Jacob, your house is too big.”
“Just the decorations in the back must have cost a lot, right?” Brynlee exclaimed.
“Not bad, I had a friend do the decoration for me.”
“The budget was twenty million.”
Jacob replied casually, then winked at Guan beside him, as if to say: How about it? Isn’t it impressive! Indeed, he was quite successful in showing off.
Upon hearing the figure of “twenty million,” all four of them widened their eyes, even the usually composed Dawson silently gasped! Listen to how the wealthy talk! A house’s soft decoration actually costs twenty million!!
Are you planning to lay a layer of gold bricks on the floor??
“Jacob, can you really spend twenty million on soft decoration?” Brynlee couldn’t help but ask.
Jacob stroked his chin and replied confidently, “It should be possible; I spent over two million just on the bed today.”
While at the Western restaurant, Mira sent him a screenshot of the receipt, which showed an amount of two million four hundred thousand, saying that she bought the bed.
Although after that phone call, this little Mira didn’t bother him again, she was quite proactive about the reimbursement, probably to prove that she wasn’t embezzling.
In fact, Mira really had no intention of pocketing any money; she was smart enough not to do something foolish that would cost her more in the long run! However, after Jacob mentioned spending over two million on a bed, the group fell silent, their faces showing not only shock but also complex emotions.
People spend over two million on a bed! And their entire house is only worth a little over two million. The disparity was simply too stark! “A bed worth over two million? Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t dare to sleep on it!”
“If I ruin it, I’d be heartbroken; it’s worth more than my life!”
After a moment of daze, Brynlee began to self-deprecate.
“You’re exaggerating, Second Aunt; if there’s a chance, come visit us at home.”
Jacob quite liked Brynlee, this “Second Aunt,” because she was a good foil, allowing him to fully showcase his pretentiousness.
The group chatted about the house for a while longer, then concluded the house tour and headed to the nearby Mimia Commercial Street, where they found a seemingly high-end private restaurant.
Coincidentally, right across from this private restaurant was the storefront Jacob planned to open a BestDiet restaurant in.
