The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3731



Seeing Mr. Bay's excitement, Jacob grew curious. However, he was still a little listless as he asked," What happened, Mr. Bay? What is it that's making you so happy?"

Mr. Bay said with great excitement, "The secretary of the association called me and said that an overseas Oskian wants to donate eight pairs of works from the calligrapher, Finnegan Jonas, to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, under instructions from her grandfather!"

"Finnegan Jonas?" Jacob repeated, wearing a bewildered expression. "Is that a very famous person?"

When Mr. Bay heard this, he was dumbfounded. He really didn't know whether he should laugh or cry." Jacob... I already told you, didn't I? You're the vice chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. It doesn't matter if you're not talented in either calligraphy or painting, but you have to at least have some knowledge. Whenever you're free, you should read more and study the works of ancient and modern calligraphy and paintings. You don't even know Finnegan Jonas! If you go out alone, it'll be easy for someone to catch you off guard with a question on this."

Having said that, he hurriedly explained, "Finnegan Jonas is one of the most famous calligraphers in the

history of Aurous Hill. He has the title of the first person in the official ancient clerical script! He's not a s renowned as the top calligraphy masters in history, but he's still a local calligrapher from Aurous Hill. He's of great significance to our Calligraphy and Painting Association!"

Jacob smiled awkwardly. "Oh! Oh, I remember now! You were saying it in such a hurry just now, so I couldn't understand you..."

Jacob was simply speaking without thinking. In truth, he knew little about Finnegan Jonas.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Mr. Bay did not take him seriously and continued happily, "That's not the most important part. The overseas Oskian also added that she wanted to promote and carry forward our local history in the field of calligraphy and painting. As such, she wishes to sponsor us and hold a large-scale Aurous Hill historical calligraphy and painting exhibition. We can display all of the works of famous calligraphy and painting masters from Aurous Hill. She also promised to help us find more historical works of other famous masters residing in Aurous Hill!"

Mr. Bay patted Jacob's shoulder and went on giddily, "I f this exhibition is successful, then our Calligraphy and Painting Association will be famous! Come on, Jacob! Let's go back to the association and meet up with her."

Jacob was in a bad mood, and had little interest in this matter. The overseas Oskian and the exhibition meant nothing to him. All he wanted was to spend time together with Matilda as soon as possible in order to cut off all her thoughts of other men, especially Yolden!

Despite that, he was still the second-in-command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Since Mr. Bay had already said so, he couldn't very well back out. Forced to agree, he could only say, "Okay, let's go now."

Coincidentally, Matilda and Yolden had just finished packing up their laptops. When Matilda saw that Jacob and Mr. Bay were also leaving, she stepped forward and asked curiously, "Jacob, aren't you going to the dinner?"

"I'm not going anymore," Jacob said. "There's an urgent matter in the association, so Mr. Bay and I will have to go back."

Matilda nodded. "It so happens that Professor Hart and I are just about finished. Let's go out together."

The four of them walked to the parking lot together. Yolden's car was parked close by, so Matilda soon said to Jacob and Mr. Bay, "Jacob, Mr. Bay, we'll leave first. See you another time."

Mr. Bay said cheerfully, "Bight, Professor Hall, Professor Hart. You can go first. Our cars are parked far away."

"Okay." Matilda smiled. Professor Hart, who was beside her, also bade goodbye to Jacob and Mr. Bay before entering the car and promptly leaving. As Mr. Bay watched them drive away, he sighed and said, "Jacob, don't you think that Professor Hall and Professor Hart are quite a good match?"

Jacob's eyes widened and he blurted out, "Why would they be a good match?! Yolden Hart isn't good enough for Matilda!"

Mr. Bay said seriously, "Look at both of them! They're both outstanding talents. Even though they're almost fifty, they look like they're only forty years old. They're also top students who have returned from the United States. I'm sure they have more in common. I also heard both of them are widowed. They can't be a better match together!"

Jacob felt extremely uncomfortable and unhappy in his heart. Feeling a little depressed, he muttered, "In my opinion, Yolden Hart is just someone who's lusting after a woman he isn't worthy of!"

Mr. Bay frowned and asked

suspiciously. Everyone has a good impression of Professor Hart, so why are you so prejudiced against him? Both he and Professor Hall are the same kind of people. They're just like a male and a female swan. They're the perfect match!*

When Jacob heard Mr. Bay compare Matilda and Volden to a male and a female swan, his anger grew. He cursed in his heart, 'Mr. Bay, what do you mean by that? They're just like a male and a female swan? Are you saying that I'm the toad lusting after Matilda?!'

Mr. Bay saw the look of annoyance on Jacob's face and exclaimed in astonishment, "Jacob... You're not interested in Professor Hall, are you?"
