The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 41
Clinton was filled with despair!
How could this happen?
Why on earth did he let himself walk into this situation?
Why was he continuously humiliated by that loser Charlie?
He never imagined that this painting was genuine and valued at over $200,000!
But now that he had boasted so boldly, what could he do? Was he really expected to eat the table?
That was out of the question!
If a car were to burn, that would be fine. You could just buy a new one, but how could you eat a table?
If he actually went through with it, wouldn’t that be the end for him?
His classmates began to taunt him, “Hey, Clinton, you said you’d eat the table—are you regretting it now?”
“Yeah, everyone is looking forward to your performance!”
Someone slapped the table playfully, “Come on, Brother Clinton, let’s see what you’ve got!”
Clinton’s expression darkened, and he snapped, “We’re classmates—there’s no need to kick someone while they’re down, is there?”
“Kicking someone while they’re down?” Charlie chuckled, “You brought this upon yourself. Everyone is just encouraging you to honor your promise. How is that kicking someone when they’re down?”
Clinton realized there was no way out of this today. He could only swallow his anger and mutter, “I was hasty earlier, I didn’t recognize the esteemed person I was dealing with. I apologize to Charlie and everyone. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Seeing this unexpected display of humility, his classmates were taken aback. Was this really Clinton? When had he ever admitted to being in the wrong?
But Clinton had no other option.
What could he do?
If he refused to acknowledge his mistake, he would have to eat the table, which was absolutely not happening.
If he tried to back out, everyone would surely ridicule him.
The only viable path was to admit his fault—only that way could he weather this storm.
Sure enough, as soon as he expressed remorse, someone piped up, “Oh, it’s not easy for Clinton to apologize, so we shouldn’t force him to eat the table, let’s just forget about it!”
“Exactly, let’s move on! Eating the table is out of the question, and we haven’t dined yet, let’s get started!”
Charlie was well aware that Clinton would never actually eat the table, but with his apology, Charlie felt satisfied. After all, Clinton had strutted about as if he were superior, and it was only fair he face some consequences for that.
Yet, it was clear that this wasn’t enough punishment. What lay ahead for Clinton would be far worse.
So he added, “Since Clinton has apologized, let’s forget about the table incident. Today is the grand opening of Douglas Restaurant, let’s not overshadow it!”
Clinton breathed a sigh of relief.
But inside, he fantasized about exacting revenge on Charlie for the humiliation.
Little did he know that Charlie was not done with him yet. Charlie sent a message to Doris Young, “Is there a vice president named Tucker in the company whose son is Clinton? Please investigate that for me.”
Doris Young responded quickly, “Yes, there’s a vice president named Joseph Tucker and his son is Clinton. What’s going on, Chairman? Do you need any assistance?”
Charlie replied, “Please terminate his position immediately.”
“Understood!”
Clinton remained unaware that his father was in the process of being fired from Emgrand Group.
Having just survived the ordeal of humiliation, he thought to himself that he needed to find a way to avenge himself against Charlie.
Above all, he had to regain his dignity in front of his classmates. After being humiliated by Charlie twice, how could he continue to act tough?
Just as he was mulling over how to reclaim his status, a sudden commotion erupted at the hotel entrance.
Everyone turned to look.
A group of intimidating young men burst in, all adorned with tattoos and wielding baseball bats, metal pipes and other menacing objects. They looked formidable.
Upon seeing this aggressive gang, everyone’s expressions changed, particularly Douglas and Lily, who appeared genuinely frightened.
The leader of the group, a man with a scarred face, surveyed the hall before fixing his gaze on Douglas, his grin widening. “Boss, you didn’t inform us about such a grand event as the opening. Do you think you can just ignore us?”
Lily’s face drained of color and she forced a smile as she asked, “What… what are you here for?”
Before the opening, Lily had heard rumors about local thugs collecting protection money. It was said that the previous owner of this restaurant had to surrender it due to these ruffians.
However, Lily believed that in today’s world, surely no one would dare to shake down businesses so openly? So she took over the restaurant at a low price, hoping to run it successfully.
To her shock, these thugs chose her restaurant’s grand opening to make their first visit!
Scarface responded with an intimidating grin, “If you want to do business here, you need to take care of our brother Bill the Bear. We’re not asking for much, just 20% of your restaurant’s shares. If any issues arise, we’ll handle it.”
He continued ominously, “If you refuse, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You’ll have to shut down this restaurant today!”
Douglas and Lily gasped at the outrageous demand. He was asking for 20% of the shares outright! This was outright extortion!
“I’ll give you one minute to think it over.”
Clinton suddenly saw a chance to shine! He stepped forward boldly and asked, “Who do you think you are?”
Scarface smirked and replied, “Who do you think you are? Do you really need me to introduce myself?”
Clinton scoffed and declared, “Let me tell you something my father has significant connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles here in Aurous Hill! I’ll call the development zone leaders right now!”
Scarface glanced at him, a flicker of concern crossing his face as he asked, “You really know the leaders of the development zone?”
“Of course!” Clinton shot back, “You’d better get lost before things turn bad for you!”
Scarface narrowed his eyes and said, “Alright, if you can find someone who can back you up, I won’t bother you again. But if you can’t, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Lily, sensing their desperation, urged Clinton, “Clinton, please help us contact them!”
Clinton smirked slightly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll call the development zone leaders right this moment!”
Emgrand Group was active in the development zone and Clinton’s father was in charge of those projects. As a result, the development zone leaders were quite familiar with Clinton.
He immediately called the top leader and deliberately raised his voice, stating, “Uncle Lee, why is there a group of thugs demanding protection money in the development zone? They’ve come to my classmate’s restaurant!”
A moment of silence came from the other end before Uncle Lee replied, “Clinton, what’s happening here?”
Clinton explained, “A friend of mine opened a restaurant and is facing these troublemakers demanding protection money. I just wanted to check if District Chief Lee could assist.”
There was a brief pause before District Chief Lee, sounding somewhat embarrassed, responded, “I’m sorry, Clinton, but this isn’t under my jurisdiction. I’m currently in a meeting, so I’ll have to hang up.”
Before Clinton could respond, the call ended.
Clinton was left dumbfounded.
What was going on? Wasn’t District Chief Lee always attempting to please his father, hoping to attract more investments from Emgrand Group?
Why wasn’t he willing to help him out now?
Unbeknownst to Clinton, news of his father’s termination from Emgrand Group had spread throughout the leadership of Aurous Hill!

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 21
In the astonished eyes of everyone present, Charlie gradually stood up.
The attention of the entire banquet hall immediately shifted toward him.
“Charlie, what are you doing? Sit down!” Elaine exclaimed in panic, trying to stop him.
Did he even understand what kind of event this was? There were so many influential figures in attendance, yet no one else dared to rise from their seats. And here was Charlie, a so-called useless son-in-law, causing a scene at such a moment!
Kevin and Gerald White exchanged glances, both thinking, could it really be true that he was the chairman of Emgrand Group?
But then they quickly shook their heads in disbelief.
It was impossible; if he truly were the chairman, how could Elaine have scolded him so openly?
“What are you doing, you useless fool? Get back in your seat!” Harold bellowed from the stage, a frown marring his face.
Charlie glanced at him coldly before striding over to Doris Young, completely disregarding the astonished stares of those around him, and whispering a few words in her ear.
Doris Young nodded slightly in response.
The sight sent a jolt of tension through the room.
Doris Young! The Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group, renowned as a stunning beauty in Aurous Hill City! How could Charlie, the so-called useless son-in-law, know her? And judging from their interaction, they seemed to share a close relationship.
After finishing his words, Charlie ignored everyone’s gaze and made his way out of the hall to chase after Claire.
However, Doris Young stood up, walked onto the stage, and addressed the stunned audience with the microphone in hand. “Hello everyone, I am Doris Young. Charlie Wade met our chairman outside the venue just now. The chairman has sent me to relay a message.”
A collective sigh of relief washed over the crowd at the realization that Charlie was not, in fact, the chairman of Emgrand.
Kevin exhaled, a look of disdain on his face as he remarked, “So what if you met him once? You’re really going overboard trying to flatter his assistant. That’s just pathetic.”
Gerald White shrugged with a smile, “That’s how small-minded people behave.”
At that moment, Doris Young turned her gaze toward Lady Wilson, her expression turning icy. “The chairman instructed me to inform you…”
“Effective immediately, Emgrand Group is terminating its partnership with the Wilson family, and the signed contract is rendered void!”
A collective gasp pierced the air. No one had anticipated that Doris Young would make such an announcement.
The unexpected turn of events left everyone in shock.
Lady Wilson’s complexion drained of color, and she anxiously asked, “Vice President Young, why is this happening? Has there been an issue with our Wilson family?”
She had invited all the notable figures from Aurous Hill, hoping to use this opportunity to elevate the Wilson family’s standing.
If the partnership collapsed in front of everyone, it would undoubtedly spell disaster for their family.
Doris Young explained, “This project was initially approved by our chairman due to Ms. Claire, which is why there was a collaboration with you. However, you took it upon yourselves to assign an inexplicable person to oversee this project. Therefore, we cannot accept it!”
Having spoken, Doris Young set down the microphone and walked out without looking back.
Lady Wilson’s face lost all color, and she crumpled on stage in despair.
She never imagined that her momentary cleverness would obliterate such a valuable opportunity!
If she had foreseen this outcome, she would never have allowed Harold to take Claire’s place as director.
Harold, equally confused, wondered what had just occurred. It appeared as if Doris Young had targeted him on purpose, even though he had never offended her!
He couldn’t help turning to Lady Wilson, “Grandma, the director appointment has been announced. Are you sure you won’t regret this decision?”
Lady Wilson struggled to rise, slapping him in anger as she barked, “You fool! You shouldn’t be thinking about the director position at a time like this! Come with me to fetch Claire!”
……
As Charlie hurried out, he found that Claire hadn’t gone far; she was merely crouched down in a quiet corner near the hotel, crying in distress.
He slowly approached, removed his jacket, placed it over her shoulders, and said, “Wife, don’t be upset. Being the director of the Wilson family isn’t everything. It’s alright if you don’t get the position…”
“You don’t understand. If I become the director, my parents will take pride in the Wilson family. How can grandma change her mind now…” Claire sobbed.
Charlie continued to soothe her, “Maybe they will need you to step in as director soon. If you keep crying like this, you won’t look your best on stage later…”
Claire, still emotional, replied, “That’s impossible! Grandma has made her decision. There’s no chance to reverse it. You should go back inside and let me be alone…”
Just then, Lady Wilson and Harold dashed out of the banquet hall.
The elderly woman, panting from the exertion, was followed by a crowd of onlookers curious about the commotion.
Upon seeing Charlie and Claire, Harold rushed over, gazing down at Claire with tear-filled eyes, and implored, “Claire, chase after Vice President Young! Ask her not to end our partnership!”
Claire looked bewildered, “Terminate the partnership? Why?”
Harold snapped, “Why are you pretending to be innocent? It has to be you who instructed Vice President Young to embarrass me in front of everyone! If you don’t fix this, I won’t forgive you!”
Slap!
Lady Wilson couldn’t contain her anger and struck Harold once more, chastising, “You wretched boy, how can you speak to your sister like that? She’s the director of our Wilson Group!”
Harold protested, “But grandma… didn’t you agree to make me the director?”
Lady Wilson rebuked him furiously, “If you hadn’t drugged me, would I have reversed my decision at the last minute? If you persist in your foolishness, get out of the Wilson family!”
After being struck twice by her, Harold felt an intense anger rise within him, but he bit his tongue, swallowing his rage.
Lady Wilson then turned to Claire, pleading, “Claire, I beg you—you’re the director of the Wilson family now. Hurry and explain things to Vice President Young, or it could spell the end for us!”
Claire gazed at Charlie, uncertainty etched on her face.
Charlie shrugged, adding, “I told you they would come looking to appoint you as the director. You still didn’t believe me; look at your face — it’s all red from crying…”
With a blush creeping onto her cheeks, Claire wiped her tears away and said, “Then I’ll try to reach out to Emgrand.”
She quickly dialed Doris Young’s number.
Everyone’s eyes were glued to her.
After a moment, the call connected, and Claire said, “Hello, Vice President Young. Grandma asked me to explain that I will take up the director position for the Wilson family and handle our project with Emgrand. Can you give us another chance…”
Doris Young chuckled in response, “If you’re the director and can take responsibility, then it’s no problem, and the collaboration can continue. However, if it’s anyone else, it’s all off the table…”
“Vice President Young… thank you so much…”
Claire couldn’t shake her confusion. It felt as if the Emgrand Group had come here solely to support her. It seemed so unusual.
Doris Young replied with a smile, “This is what our chairman wishes. If there’s a chance in the future, the chairman will explain everything to you personally…”
Claire remained baffled. Who was the chairman? She had never met him. Why was he extending this help towards her?
“Could you please come back to the banquet hall?” Claire asked nervously.
The chairman had left in anger, clearly upset with the Wilson family. It would be difficult to ask them to return at this point.
But to her surprise, Doris Young agreed without hesitation.
Before long, everyone witnessed Doris Young’s car reappear at the hotel entrance.
At that moment, all eyes were filled with a mixture of horror and admiration directed at Claire.

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 11
After Harold kowtowed three times, tears of humiliation filled his eyes.
Yet, he dared not make any rash moves in that moment.
He realized that his grandmother must be very disappointed in him right now.
At this point, he was determined not to provoke her with anything he said.
Seeing Harold kneeling and admitting his wrongdoing, Lady Wilson felt a wave of relief wash over her.
She had never wanted her grandson to bow to Charlie, whom she considered a failure, but the stakes were too high; this vow concerned her life.
Having always held a strong belief in Buddhism, she worried greatly that if Harold had refused to kneel and acknowledge his mistake, it would haunt her and prevent her from sleeping or eating out of fear of retribution.
Turning to Harold, she said softly, “Harold, these three kowtows are meant to teach you a lesson. In the future, don’t make bets with others unless you’re certain. If you do place a bet, don’t put your family at risk!”
With a sorrowful expression, Harold replied, “Grandma, I understand. I will never dare to do it again…”
As she spoke, he shot a resentful glance at Charlie, thinking to himself, you worthless person, you’ve forced me to kneel before you, and one day I will make you pay for this!
Lady Wilson then continued, “It’s a tremendous achievement that Claire secured this contract today. Everyone should make the most of this time to prepare. We need to build a strong relationship with Emgrand Group!”
Charlie interjected, “Grandma, since Claire has negotiated a project deal, shouldn’t we consider her for the position of company director?”
Lady Wilson raised her eyebrows, contemplating the suggestion.
She had indeed claimed that whoever secured the contract would become the director.
However, the thought that Claire had never been favored by her and her ineffectual husband always disgusted her, causing her heart to race with anxiety.
If Claire were to gain praise, she might not remain under Lady Wilson’s control in the future—what would she do then?
At that moment, she felt inclined to retract her earlier promise.
After all, she hadn’t sworn a binding oath when she made that promise, so she could easily backtrack without guilt.
Yet, she decided that it wasn’t the right time to voice her concerns about Claire’s newly signed contract. Instead, she said, “Here’s what we’ll do: I will host a banquet tomorrow night and invite the key figures in Aurous Hill. At that event, I will announce our cooperation with Emgrand Group and the appointment of the new director in person.”
Upon hearing this, Charlie felt a sense of relief.
Claire smiled gently, believing that the director position was finally hers. She would no longer face exclusion, and her parents could hold their heads high!
Lady Wilson turned to Claire again and said, “Claire, there’s one more thing I need your help with.”
Claire promptly responded, “Grandma, what is it?”
Lady Wilson requested, “I need you to reach out to the chairman of Emgrand and invite him to our banquet tomorrow.”
After a brief pause, she added with anticipation, “If he attends, it would surely benefit our Wilson family and enhance our reputation!”
Claire paused thoughtfully, then hesitantly replied, “But… I only met Doris Young, the vice chairman of Emgrand Group, and I’ve never met the chairman. Besides, we just received the project, and holding such a banquet might come off as too overzealous…”
“What does that matter? I want to showcase to all of Aurous Hill that we are now aligned with the powerful Emgrand, and our Wilson family will thrive in the future!”
After stating this, Lady Wilson continued, “If the chairman of Emgrand Group can’t make it, inviting Doris Young would suffice. She is the second-highest ranking in Emgrand, and her presence would still carry weight.”
At this point, Lady Wilson was already brimming with excitement.
Imagining how those influential groups and families that once looked down on the Wilsons would soon have to rely on them filled her with exhilaration.
Under her leadership, the Wilson family would achieve greater glory!
Claire thought for a moment before cautiously stating, “I see, I’ll make an effort…”
“Not just an effort! You must extend the invitation!”
Claire nodded slowly, then quietly asked Charlie, “What if the chairman of Emgrand doesn’t come? What if Doris Young declines?”
Charlie chuckled and replied, “Just give it a shot. You have Doris Young’s number, right? Maybe a simple call will convince them to attend.”
The Wilson family’s banquet is set not only to demonstrate their strength to the outside world but also to announce Claire’s promotion to director.
It’s not unreasonable for a husband to support his wife’s advancement!
At that moment, Claire was unaware that her husband was, in fact, the chairman of Emgrand Group. She sighed with mixed feelings and remarked, “But the chairman is an important figure at Emgrand, and I’ve heard he also hails from a prominent family in Eastcliff. Such influential individuals are busy with so many matters; how could he possibly make time to come to the banquet?”
Charlie grinned and said, “I doubt it’s as busy as you think. Maybe he spends his days at home with his wife, cooking and cleaning.”
Claire rolled her eyes at him and replied, “Do you really think everyone is like you?”
Charlie nodded, “Yes, it’s quite possible that the Emgrand Group’s chairman is just like me…”
Claire smirked and teased, “Tsk! How can that be true!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 65
Graham was taken aback by Charlie’s words. The destruction of his family? Wasn’t that a price too steep to pay?
Graham’s complexion turned ashen and he let out a long sigh. “I have lived my life without wrongdoing, performing good deeds every day. How did it come to this?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Then, if I recall correctly, your desire to purchase that piece of topaz was related to this issue as well?”
Graham nodded. In the past year, he had exhausted all possible solutions without any success until he met Charlie.
Initially, he thought Charlie was simply knowledgeable about appraising treasures and didn’t pay him much mind.
But today, Charlie’s pointed revelation of the evil spirit made it clear that he was far from ordinary. The salvation of the Quinton family might very well lie with him.
Immediately, he clasped his fists toward Charlie and pleaded, “Master Wade, please help us!”
Afterward, he leaned in and whispered urgently to his assistant, who promptly turned and left.
Charlie smiled faintly and remarked, “Graham, you should address your family’s problems on your own.”
He had no personal ties to the Quinton family and had only met Graham once before.
Moreover, Adam, who stood before him, had previously offended him.
Beside them, the panicked Aurora was indeed striking. She possessed an impressive figure and a fiery temperament, almost like a feisty pepper. But what did her looks matter to him? First of all, she wasn’t his wife and secondly, they had no intimate relationship.
Thus, Charlie had no compelling reason to assist the Quinton family.
Yet, Graham was determined not to squander this great chance to save his family. He immediately bowed again and said, “I implore you, please offer us some guidance!”
Graham gazed at Charlie almost with reverence, bowing deeply in a gesture of humility.
But Charlie remained unmoved.
Seeing Charlie’s indifference, Graham made a decisive choice and knelt on the ground.
At that moment, Aurora also knelt without hesitation. She knelt before Charlie and pleaded passionately, “Master Wade, I spoke rashly and angered you earlier. Please forgive me. The fate of my Quinton family lies in your hands. I beg you for your help!”
Afterward, she turned to Adam, who appeared stunned, and slapped him, exclaiming, “Adam! This is all your fault! You brought that bizarre, cursed item home and now you’ve jeopardized our family and offended Master Wade. Come on, bow to Master Wade! Plead with him to assist us!”
Adam was genuinely terrified! He never anticipated that the Quinton family’s misfortunes stemmed from that piece of jade. Now, he couldn’t evade responsibility, especially after provoking Master Wade, the only one capable of resolving their issues. He feared he would return home only to be viciously punished by his family.
Thus, he immediately knelt before Charlie, repeatedly bowing his head as he begged, “Master, I was wrong! I was blind to my own fate, failing to recognize what was truly valuable. Please forgive me and help our Quinton family. I bow to you…”
Saying this, Adam struck his forehead against the concrete floor with a resounding thud.
At that moment, Graham’s assistant returned, presenting him with a gift box.
Graham quickly accepted it and handed it to Charlie respectfully, saying humbly, “Master Wade, this is the most exquisite jade bracelet from Emerald Court, worth over 6 million. Please accept this gift, Master Wade!”
Charlie glanced coolly at the gift in Graham’s hand. It was a premium jade bracelet made from high-quality ice-type jadeite, clear and translucent like glass.
Although it didn’t surpass the jade necklace he had previously gifted to his wife Claire, as a bracelet, it was nearly unparalleled!
The crowd watched in awe, fully aware that this bracelet was the most expensive piece in Emerald Court, priced at six million.
Graham had indeed asked his assistant to procure it as a gift for Charlie, demonstrating the depth of his desire to win Charlie’s favor!
What kind of person was this Charlie?
Charlie’s father-in-law was equally astonished. He had never witnessed anything quite as remarkable in his lifetime…
Charlie looked at the jade bracelet but didn’t take it. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Graham and asked with a smile, “Graham, what makes you so certain that I can resolve this evil spirit?”
Graham replied earnestly, “If Master Wade can’t handle it, then I fear no one else in the world can!”
Charlie smiled faintly. Graham’s words held a grain of truth. He really did possess a method to deal with it. The “Apocalyptic Book” had documented this form of evil spirit and the means to dispel it was clearly outlined as well.
Charlie casually took the jade bracelet in hand. He envisioned how beautiful it would look adorning his wife Claire’s wrist.
As for Graham?
Truthfully, he wasn’t a bad person.
Disciplining the family’s younger members was acceptable and their sins weren’t beyond redemption.
Since he had ardently pleaded for help, Charlie decided it wouldn’t hurt to assist him.
Thus, Charlie said, “Alright, since you’ve beseeched me, I will grant you this favor.”
Seeing Charlie accept the bracelet, Graham was elated and bowed deeply once more, “Master Wade, the Quinton family holds a significant position in Aurous Hill City. Once the evil spirit has been dispelled, should you require assistance from the Quinton family in the future, we will certainly do our utmost to help!”
The onlookers erupted in shocked murmurs, all astounded by the audacity of the Quinton family!
Charlie thought for a moment and replied, “In that case, I will assist you this once. It’s also the destiny of your Quinton family that is at stake.”
Graham immediately knelt deeply, filled with excitement as he exclaimed, “Master Wade, I implore you to help us!”
Charlie requested a yellow paper talisman and some cinnabar from the nearby antique shop, made a few strokes on the paper and then handed it to Graham.
“Place this talisman on the jade plug, take it home and burn incense daily. After 49 days, the evil spirit will be entirely exorcised. During these 49 days, your family must refrain from killing or bloodshed and all members should bathe and burn incense daily. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Master, I will adhere to your wise words!”
Graham accepted the talisman with both hands, expressing deep gratitude to Charlie. He carefully affixed the talisman onto the jade plug and wrapped it in yellow paper.
At that moment, as the jade plug was wrapped, Adam suddenly felt a sense of lightness in his body. The irritability that had plagued him seemed to fade away, leaving him feeling refreshed.
Graham also sensed changes within himself; he felt clearer and more at ease than before!
He recognized that Charlie’s method was effective!
This realization elated him!
Fortunately, he had found Charlie otherwise, the Quinton family would have faced obliteration after today!
Zachary stood nearby, equally astonished. Once Graham finished, he hurriedly approached Charlie with a bashful smile, bowing as he said, “Brother, could you help me assess my prospects? When do you think I might find a beautiful wife?”
Charlie frowned, shaking his head as he replied, “If you wish to marry someone beautiful, you should first consider getting a facelift.”
Aurora chuckled from the side.
Indeed, Zachary was too unattractive it was hard to believe any girl would be interested in him! But Charlie was undeniably handsome…

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 14
Seeing such an extravagant ceremony, Jane Wolfe was taken aback, wondering if the impoverished man had actually called in some favors. But then she dismissed the thought—there was no way someone like him could possibly know someone this influential.
Stephen Thompson stepped out of the third Rolls-Royce and walked into the Emerald Court, prompting Jane Wolfe to quickly stand and greet him. However, Stephen Thompson ignored her entirely and made a beeline for Charlie.
“Master, I’ve arrived with the funds,” Stephen Thompson announced, gesturing for the bodyguard behind him to enter the Emerald Court. The bodyguard placed a box filled with cash on the ground and opened it.
It was overflowing with stacks of bright red cash!
Gasps of shock erupted from the crowd around them.
That arrogant loser… No way! What he said is actually true!
Oh my goodness, who is this powerful person?
Many onlookers took out their phones to record the astonishing scene, not wanting to miss a moment. However, Stephen Thompson’s bodyguards swiftly cleared the area, leaving only a glimpse of Charlie’s back for the cameras.
Charlie pointed to the cash on the ground and asked Jane Wolfe, “Haven’t you ever seen this much money before? How about now?”
Jane Wolfe was so struck with fear that she almost lost her composure. She nodded timidly, “I’ve seen it, I have seen it…”
Charlie then turned to Stephen Thompson, saying, “I want to see the manager of this store.”
Stephen Thompson nodded, pulled out his phone, searched briefly, and made the call.
As soon as the call connected, he berated the person on the other end, “You fool, this is Stephen Thompson! I’m in Emerald Court right now, and I give you one minute to get here! Otherwise, I’ll have Emerald Court set ablaze! And believe me, I’ll break your legs!”
Jane Wolfe’s face turned white as she watched Stephen Thompson in fear.
Is this man really that powerful?
Her boss was a well-known figure in Aurous Hill, highly regarded in the underworld. Who would dare to confront him? Who would be bold enough to talk to him like that?
Less than a minute later, a middle-aged, overweight man appeared, rushing from the back office. Upon seeing Stephen Thompson, he hurried over and said, “Mr. Tang, I didn’t know you were coming to my shop! I would have welcomed you properly!”
Stephen Thompson gave the man a hard slap across the face and said angrily, “You are so arrogant! Your employee dared to neglect our Young Master. Are you tired of living?”
Stephen Thompson was aware that the Young Master had faced a lot of indignities over the past decade. Seeing a clerk mistreat him aggravated his irritation.
The middle-aged man, although initially taken aback by the slap, now felt a rising panic as the implications sank in.
Stephen Thompson’s Young Master? Oh my gosh, if Stephen Thompson is a dragon, then his Young Master must be like a deity!
Trembling with fear, he glanced at Charlie, who appeared quite ordinary beside Stephen Thompson, yet he was indeed the Young Master of this powerful family!
Realizing this, the middle-aged man panicked even more and hurriedly addressed Charlie, saying, “Young Master, I sincerely apologize! I beg your forgiveness!”
Then, he turned with a furious expression and shouted, “Who is the blind fool that offended the Young Master? Step forward!”
All the other salespeople turned their attention to Jane Wolfe.
Quickly, Jane Wolfe tried to retreat.
But the middle-aged man charged over, grabbing Jane Wolfe by the collar and slapping her hard across the face while cursing, “You foolish woman! How dare you offend the Young Master?”
Jane Wolfe fell to the ground, crying, “Boss, I’m sorry! I was blind! Please forgive me this time!”
“Forgive you?” The middle-aged man scowled, yanking her hair back and delivering a powerful punch to her face.
After punch after punch, her face was covered in blood. “What? You want to kill me? I’ll be the one to end you!”
Jane Wolfe’s teeth were shattered, her nose, freshly done, was broken too, and she was left bloodied.
Sobbing and in distress, she broke free from the middle-aged man’s grip and crawled to Charlie, clutching his legs, and cried, “Master, I truly know I was wrong! I promise I’ll never look down on anyone again. Please forgive me!”
Charlie replied coldly, “You brought this upon yourself.”
The middle-aged man was terrified when he saw her grabbing Charlie’s legs and rushed over, kicking her in the head while cursing, “Do you think you can touch the Young Master’s legs? I’ll take you down!”
With that kick, Jane Wolfe fell unconscious.
The middle-aged man ordered the security guard beside him, “Get rid of this worthless creature! Throw her in the trash behind the building!”
“Yes, boss!” The security guards wasted no time and quickly lifted Jane Wolfe, whose face was smeared with blood, and took her away.
Charlie turned to the middle-aged man and said, “My wife is interested in that jade piece, please wrap it up for me.”
The middle-aged man quickly nodded in agreement, “Of course! I’ll wrap it up right away!”
Charlie took out his black card and instructed, “Charge this to my card.”
Then he told Stephen Thompson, “You can take the cash back.”
The middle-aged man added nervously, “Young Master, if you like this jade, I’d like to gift it to you!”
Charlie replied, “I don’t need your charity.”
The middle-aged man pleaded, “Master, just consider it a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!”
Stephen Thompson interjected, “Master, if he insists on giving it to you as an apology, you should accept it. Otherwise, he won’t rest easy tonight.”
Charlie pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly, “Alright, I accept, thank you.”
Relief washed over the middle-aged man as Charlie accepted the jade necklace.
If Charlie had refused, he genuinely feared Stephen Thompson would take matters into his own hands. With his influence, he could easily make him vanish without a trace.
At this point, Stephen Thompson asked Charlie, “Do you want me to escort you out?”
“No, it’s fine,” Charlie waved his hand dismissively. “Where’s the back door? I can find my way.”
The spectators were completely astonished by what they had witnessed!
Several Rolls-Royces had delivered 13 million in cash just to buy a single piece of jade.
In turn, the boss of Emerald Court was too intimidated to accept it!
Who exactly was that seemingly unremarkable young man?
Numerous individuals uploaded videos of the event online, where they quickly went viral.
People dubbed this mysterious figure “the super-rich heir,” “the domineering CEO,” “the god-level wealthy man,” and even initiated a “find the god-level wealthy man” movement, attracting countless participants.
Fortunately, during the video shoot, onlookers had been cleared out by bodyguards, leaving Charlie’s image unclear and making it impossible to use as a basis for identification.
