“You must have made this, Suzie. I knew as soon as I tasted it! It tastes the same as how you
used to make it!” Not knowing if he was doing this on purpose or not, Kelvin took a bite of tofu and
smiled.
Suzie glanced at her husband’s increasingly dark expression and smiled teasingly, “Have more if
you enjoy it. The truth is our whole family is indebted to you!”
“You shouldn’t thank me for being your cousin!” Kelvin waved her thanks away. “It’s just a bit of
money. I didn’t need it.” He said nonchalantly.
A bit of money?
Franklin and Suzie exchanged glances. How much money does he have to easily disregard

Noticing his parents’ exchange, Jacob was moved. He remembered what Jerry had told him
before. He shook his head and smirked.
“Looks like you’re quite the success story!” Suzie smiled widely at him, as if proud of him.
“It’s just a small matter. Not worth mentioning.” Kelvin waved her away modestly. “However…”
He turned towards Jacob who was as expressionless as ever. “Jacob, you’ve just returned. You’re
probably still job hunting. If you want to get into the Paramount Chamber of Commerce, I can
introduce you.”
Before his father could say anything, Jacob shook his head. “I don’t have any plans to look for a
job just yet.”
Now that they were talking about his son’s future, Franklin set aside his pride and blurted out. “You
be quiet! Your uncle has graciously offered you a chance at a job in the Chamber of Commerce…”
“Dad, I think the wine has had enough time to breathe. I’ll go get it.”
Jacob stood up and left the table. Even if he wanted to, they wouldn’t accept him anyways.
“Haha… It’s good for young people to think outside the box!” Kelvin’s eyes flashed with disdain as
he smiled.
This was their only chance. After this, he would never bring up the subject of introducing Jacob
into the chamber no matter how much Franklin begged him. The latter was so anxious that it made
the expensive wine taste like vinegar in his mouth.
Suzie gritted her teeth in anger at her husband’s embarrassing antics.

I’ll forever remember how you’ve helped us!”
“Suzie, what are you saying!” Kelvin got to his feet. He frowned, “We grew up together. How could
I stand by and watch knowing that you were struggling?”
Having said that, Franklin was not an ungrateful person. He raised his glass. “Even though we did
not ask for six million, but in any case, we are extremely thankful for it!”
“Hold on a minute!” Kelvin’s eyes widened. “What do you mean six million? I don’t understand
what you’re saying!”
The air was heavy and quiet for a minute before Suzie said teasingly, “Kelvin, didn’t you send
someone over with six million yesterday?”
“Yes! You sent two people over. The first came to my stall with five million. And the second was to
our house with one million!” Franklin added as he nodded in agreement.
