After finishing his pre-sleep exercises, Jacob felt tired. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, thinking that he should get Mira a bigger car.
The back seat of the Mercedes GLC was still not spacious enough to be comfortable.
On the other side, Mira, who had gained valuable insights, was humming along to the old song playing in the car.
Just now, Mr. Jacob not only imparted wisdom to her but also entrusted her with the operation of the “Uncle Jacob is Losing Weight” account on a short video platform, which currently had 230,000 followers. Jacob directly handed it over to her, indicating a high level of trust.
And this Mr. Jacob only made one request: not to make money from this account.
Look at this, this is the mindset of a wealthy person!
It’s really just for fun.
No mistakes, one song, one release, one content, one in, one 6, one 9, one book, one look!
Lara drove her brand-new Porsche Cayenne to work.
Actually, if it were just to get to the office, she could walk, but during the day she had to run news, and the unit’s cars were prioritized for senior employees. As an intern, she had to take a taxi, but having her own car made things much more convenient.
However, just as she drove to the entrance, she saw a familiar figure.
It was her sister, Karen.
The other party seemed to have seen her too, and waved vigorously.
Lara instinctively frowned. Her sister waiting here early in the morning likely meant she had found out about her brother-in-law sending the car.
Lara took a deep breath, had no choice but to stop the car, and rolled down the window for her sister to get in, driving towards the office parking lot.
After all, she couldn’t block the entrance with her car.
Karen sat in the passenger seat and didn’t speak immediately but began to examine the interior of the Porsche Cayenne.
The new model of the Porsche Cayenne had also been upgraded; the once-proud central control design, which many models had borrowed from, had been revamped, now featuring a large central screen to align with domestic brands.
Looking at the eye-catching interior and smelling the unique scent of a new car, Karen took a deep breath before asking, “Did your brother-in-law give you this car?”
“Yeah.” Lara nodded. Given the current situation, it was probably impossible to hide it, so she simply admitted it.
The confirmation of her guess left Karen stunned, as if struck by lightning. After a while, she continued to ask, “Is he driving a Benz GLS Class?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s the most expensive SUV from Mercedes.” Lara nodded again. And with the second confirmation of her guess, Karen was hit again.
Driving a million-dollar luxury car and still able to give away a million-dollar luxury car! Without a few tens of millions in assets, one couldn’t possibly do such a thing.
“What is he doing now?” Karen adjusted her emotions and asked.
“I really don’t know.”
Lara shook her head: “My brother-in-law just said he was doing business with friends and seemed to have inherited an estate.”
“Anyway, my brother-in-law is doing quite well now.”
Lara hadn’t intended to provoke her sister further, but since she had approached her, she could only speak the truth.
As for whether her sister could handle such a blow, that depended on how strong her heart was.
However, Lara felt it should be fine; after all, her sister had been ruthless enough to abandon her husband and child, so her psychological endurance should be quite strong.
Sure enough, after a brief moment of distraction, Karen’s gaze returned to her sister, and she softly asked, “Lara, what do you think about me remarrying your brother-in-law?”
“Huh?”
“Remarry??”
This sudden question left Lara dumbfounded. She looked at her sister in disbelief, her eyes wide open, momentarily unsure how to respond.
If the other party weren’t her own sister, she would have really wanted to shout: “Are you shameless?!” When he was down and out, you chose to abandon him and get a divorce!
Now that he was doing well again, you want to remarry? Where is the fairness in that!!
Most people wouldn’t even dare to have such thoughts, or even if they did, they would be too embarrassed to act on them! Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?
The path you choose, you must walk to the end, even if it means kneeling! It means adults must take responsibility for their choices and have a resilient spirit. After all, there’s another saying: A good horse doesn’t eat the grass it once grazed.
But now, Karen not only didn’t want to walk the path she had chosen, but she also wanted to eat the grass she had once abandoned. Lara’s worldview was once again refreshed.
Suddenly, she felt embarrassed to have such a sister!!
“Sis, I’m going to be late.”
“You and your brother-in-law can handle your own matters.”
As a younger sister, Lara didn’t want to directly criticize her sister, so she chose to avoid the topic.
From what she knew about her brother-in-law, her sister’s idea of remarrying could be summed up in four words: wishful thinking! In Lara’s eyes, her brother-in-law Jacob was a real man.
Loyal to his family when successful, filial to the elderly.
When facing setbacks, he left gracefully, without speaking ill of anyone.
Even in the difficult situation regarding Macy’s custody, he still divided part of the money from selling the house to her sister.
He had shown great kindness.
To this day, her brother-in-law’s WhatsApp signature still bore the seven words he wrote at the time of their divorce: “Parting ways, each to their own peace.”
Lara thought those seven words were particularly good, just like the lyrics in “Decent”: “Leaving in a decent way, so as not to waste these years.”
Her brother-in-law had lived up to that.
But her sister had not managed to “preserve the dignity of farewell”! Seeing her sister get out of the car, Karen also felt it was inappropriate to linger in the car, so she got out as well.
In fact, her earlier words were a test of her sister’s reaction.
After speculating last night that her ex-husband might have become successful, she had directly lost sleep. After a fierce internal struggle, she decided that if her ex-husband really had succeeded, she would try to remarry him.
In her view, there was nothing shameful about it; at worst, she could admit her mistakes and plead for forgiveness.
Perhaps Jacob would forgive her for Macy’s sake. But before that, she needed to clarify one thing: the relationship between her sister and her ex-husband Jacob.
It was fine for her brother-in-law to give gifts for her sister’s birthday.
But if he directly gifted a Porsche Cayenne, it would be hard to believe that there was nothing going on between them.
Moreover, there were rumors that her sister had half of her brother-in-law’s assets. So Karen wanted to probe her sister’s feelings to see if they were really together.
But judging from her sister’s reaction just now, it seemed they were not.
She didn’t show any particularly intense emotional changes, indicating that there shouldn’t be any inappropriate relationship between them at this point.
This made Karen feel slightly relieved; if her sister really got together with her ex-husband, things would get complicated.
“Sis, I think it’s better to focus on living your own life!”
Before leaving, Lara still expressed her opinion, even though she knew her sister might not listen.
Karen remained silent, quietly watching her sister walk away, then glanced at the Porsche Cayenne parked in front of her, her eyes filled with envy.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but complain in her heart: I gave birth to a daughter for you, and I’ve never even driven a Porsche!!
At the Coastville Evening News reporter department.
As soon as Lara arrived at her workstation, team leader Tonia called her to the stairwell.
“Lara, it seems the quota for regularization has come down.”
“You have some psychological preparation, right?” Tonia Tange frowned as she spoke.
“Not for me?” Lara picked up on the implication from her team leader and felt a bit disappointed.
“Alas, I did recommend you to the higher-ups.”
