The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 72
Harold felt a buzzing sensation in his head and a wave of jealousy washed over him. He hadn’t even touched Loreen, yet here she was, undressed by a strange man, with him touching and pressing against her thighs.
How could he tolerate this!
In that moment, Harold was oblivious to the fact that Loreen was deeply disappointed in him. Gritting his teeth, he said with jealousy, “I think that man doesn’t want to save you at all, he just wants to take advantage of the situation and take liberties with you!”
As soon as Harold finished speaking, every member of the Wilson family turned their attention to Loreen.
They all shared the same thought.
A beautiful woman lying in front of a stranger in disheveled clothing while he rubbed and touched her was a story that sparked the imagination.
Loreen was so enraged that she staggered, feeling immense disappointment with Harold!
Not only had he fled first, but now he was making malicious assumptions about her, and doing it in front of so many people. This was not just unkind or unjust; it was downright shameless!
Coldly, Loreen replied, “Harold, the man who saved me didn’t do anything inappropriate. I took off my pants myself! This has nothing to do with you!”
With her teeth clenched in anger, she accused, “It’s you, Harold. Everything that happened tonight was your doing. When the other party came for revenge, you ran away, leaving me behind and causing me to get hurt. And now you’re saying this? Do you have any shame?”
Harold was silenced, his face flushed with embarrassment, unable to respond.
Loreen didn’t even spare him a glance as she got up and left the ward, hailing a cab back to her hotel.
The Wilson family stood in shock. No one had expected the truth to be like this!
It turned out Harold had created trouble and abandoned Loreen, which ultimately led to her being harmed…
As soon as Loreen left, Lady Wilson, infuriated, slapped Harold across the face.
Harold was stunned by the sudden blow. The Lady scolded him, “What did I teach you? I told you to win Loreen over, but instead you abandoned her and ran away. How could she possibly like you after such cowardice?”
“Grandma, I was wrong.” Harold covered his burning cheek, suddenly realizing his mistake and feeling overwhelmed with regret.
At that moment, it dawned on him that there was no chance left for him and Loreen.
……
Charlie returned home, careful not to mention the events of the night to his wife.
His wife was completely unaware of Loreen’s ordeal.
After all, Claire’s family had always been sidelined by the Lady, which meant they were never in a position to live in the Wilson family villa, leaving them out of the loop regarding such happenings.
The next morning, Claire received a call from the Lady as soon as she woke up.
The Lady instructed her, “Claire, I need you to visit Elite Vault Enterprise today and speak with their boss. See if you can secure a credit line of 10 million dollars for building materials until we receive payment from the Emgrand Group.”
Claire quickly responded, “Grandma, Elite Vault Enterprise is a major player and they rarely extend credit.”
The Lady replied, “There’s no other option. The Wilson family is facing issues with our capital chain. We can’t cover these expenses or secure a loan, so we must find a way through Elite Vault Enterprise.”
Then the Lady added, “Claire, our family is currently struggling in multiple areas, and your cousin isn’t helping matters. We’re relying on you now. You need to have a good conversation with Daniel, the boss of Elite Vault Enterprise. If he agrees, we have a chance!”
Claire hesitated briefly before reluctantly agreeing, saying, “Grandma, I’ll try my best.”
“Good!” the Lady said with relief. “I believe in you!”
After hanging up the phone, Claire felt a wave of melancholy.
Unable to contain himself, Charlie asked, “What happened?”
Claire described the situation to Charlie.
He nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we ask the Emgrand Group to prepay the 20 million dollars for the project?”
Claire quickly disagreed, “That’s not possible. We’re already in a prestigious position by collaborating with the Emgrand Group. If we ask them to prepay the project, we’ll lose face.”
Charlie wanted to point out that the Emgrand Group was owned by her husband and that 20 million shouldn’t be a burden, but Claire was unaware of this. She said, “Fine, I’ll go speak with Mr. Koch.”
Charlie offered, “Then I’ll come with you.”
“That’s not appropriate.” Claire responded. “How can I bring my husband to a business meeting? It would come off as unprofessional.”
With that, Claire insisted, “Just stay at home. If you’re bored, go out for a walk. There’s nothing for you to do here.”
Seeing her firm stance, Charlie decided not to press further. He understood that his wife had always valued her independence and wanted to tackle challenges herself. So he thought, why not let her have this opportunity? If things went awry, he could always step in discreetly.
……
After breakfast, Claire set an appointment with Daniel Knoch, the boss of Elite Vault Enterprise and drove to the company on her own.
Elite Vault Enterprise is one of the largest suppliers in Aurous Hill and Salford Province, dealing primarily in aluminum alloy construction materials and serving as a key supplier for major real estate projects.
Daniel Knoch had humble beginnings but benefited from marrying a woman with a strong family background, allowing him to rise through the ranks with her family’s support.
However, he was known as a henpecked husband, despite his wife’s lack of beauty, he never strayed, earning a reputation as a devoted man who never forgets his wife.
Elite Vault Enterprise was located in the city’s outskirts, occupying thousands of acres for its expansive factory.
After Claire arrived at the office building of Elite Vault Enterprise, she made her way inside.
Upon her arrival, she found Daniel waiting in the lobby, eager to greet her.
As soon as he saw her, a warm smile spread across his face, and he hurried over, extending his hand. “Oh, Ms. Wilson, I apologize for not welcoming you properly today!”
Claire shook his hand politely and smiled, “Mr. Koch, you’re too kind.”
As Claire tried to withdraw her hand, she noticed that Daniel held on a bit too tightly.
Claire pulled her hand away with effort, saying with a hint of concern, “Mr. Koch, what’s going on…?”
Daniel quickly scratched his head and smiled nervously, “I’m so sorry! I’ve heard that Ms. Wilson is exceptionally beautiful and meeting you in person left me a bit dazed. Please forgive my rudeness!”
Seeing that he was apologetic and straightforward eased Claire’s discomfort slightly.
At that moment, Daniel kindly gestured for her to follow him, saying with a smile, “Ms. Wilson, come to my office so we can have a proper chat!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 61
Hearing the voice, Charlie frowned and looked up. He saw a young man dressed in a white linen black suit, with black cloth shoes and an array of bracelets adorning his arms, striding confidently towards him.
Even though it was broad daylight, the young man wore a pair of antique gold-rimmed glasses featuring two round black lenses, the kind favored by the trendsetters at the late Warriors.
Trailing behind him were four or five bodyguards and compared to the young man’s showy demeanor, the bodyguards appeared menacing, causing those around to quickly step aside to avoid any trouble.
“Oh, it’s Young Mr. Quinton!”
The boss’s face instantly brightened at the sight of the young man and flattering words poured from his mouth like water. “Young Mr. Quinton, why didn’t you let me know in advance that you were coming today? I could have met you at the street corner…”
“Enough with the nonsense, I’m just here to take a look today.” The young man waved his hand impatiently.
He strode forward, glanced at the stone in Charlie’s hand and then looked up at the boss. “Zachary, wrap this stone up for me! My father’s desk needs a paperweight and this would be perfect!”
“This…” The green-eyed boss let out a dry laugh, glancing at Charlie hesitantly. “Graham, that’s unfortunate! This brother has already bought the stone! Honestly, it’s quite ordinary has no real value aside from being a paperweight. I have much better items set aside for you; why settle for something so trivial when I have exquisite pieces worthy of your status?”
Charlie then realized that the boss’s name was Zachary and that he seemed to know the young man quite well.
However, Charlie was genuinely amazed at Zachary’s way with words.
He had an uncanny ability to say what he wanted to say to people and equally what he wanted to say to spirits.
Zachary quickly fished out a hardened plastic jade horse, eagerly exclaiming, “Graham, this is favored by the former imperial concubine! Look, this jade is crystal clear. Good jade belongs with a deserving owner. Let’s not overstate it, just for your generous heart, I’ll offer it to you for the same price you purchased the chicken cup yesterday nine thousand dollars!”
Charlie was taken aback. The same fake chicken cup? He had bought it for three hundred dollars and snagged a bargain, but little did he know that Graham would spend nine thousand for it.
“Stop blabbering and just get out of here!” Young Mr. Quinton snapped impatiently, kicking Zachary aside with arrogance. “I want this stone. If you give it to me, I’ll pay you twenty thousand!”
At the sound of twenty thousand, Zachary’s eyes lit up. He turned to Charlie and said, “Brother, how about letting Mr. Quinton take it?”
Charlie frowned and replied coldly, “I bought this. I’m not interested in handing it over to anyone else.”
“Who asked you for your approval? You haven’t even paid for it yet! Whoever pays the money gets to buy it!” Mr. Quinton shot back impatiently, pulling out a wallet and tossing a thick stack of red bills at Zachary’s face.
“No need to change; I’ll take the twenty thousand.”
Zachary’s eyes sparkled, quickly gathering the banknotes and turning to Charlie with a smile. “Brother, I have an inkstone paperweight from Emperor Kangxi at home—it’s a better option!”
Charlie smiled back and said, “Zachary, I don’t need a rundown of your items, right? I purchased this paperweight first, and I’m not interested in selling it to anyone else.”
Seeing Charlie’s refusal, Zachary was at a loss.
After all, in the world of antiques, the rule is first come, first served. If Zachary neglected this rule, his reputation in this antique street would be ruined once the word got out.
With no other alternative, Zachary turned back to Mr. Quinton and pleaded, “Mr. Quinton, this paperweight really isn’t remarkable. I have a much better one at my place…”
Before he could finish, Mr. Quinton kicked him hard at the waist, scolding him, “Are you feeling brave? I’ve purchased several things from you, and now you’re being stubborn, siding with this nobody?”
Zachary fell to the ground, clutching his waist and groaning, complaining, “Mr. Quinton, he won’t part with it; I can’t do anything about it.”
As he spoke, he attempted to signal Charlie, hoping he would relent.
Looking at Charlie’s attire and demeanor, it was clear that he came from a humble background, lacking wealth or influence.
In contrast, Mr. Quinton was a well-known figure in the cultural and artistic circles, one who had never known financial hardship.
Zachary, wanting to avoid offending Graham or breaching etiquette, could only urge Charlie with his eyes.
Charlie caught on to Zachary’s hint but chose to ignore it, responding calmly, “No.”
Zachary was truly helpless, so he merely sat back and groaned, trying to avoid further ire from Mr. Quinton.
“Look at how useless you are!”
Graham scolded him, raising his voice. He glanced at Charlie with a condescending expression and said, “You bought it for three hundred dollars. I’ll give you thirty thousand for it; hand it over!”
The crowd gasped, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Charlie.
The price of an item bought for three hundred dollars had surged a hundred times over before it even warmed up. Clearly, this was a lucrative deal!
As for that piece of stone, anyone with knowledge could tell it was merely a common rock found on the riverbank. There were countless stones like it; it hardly warranted calling it a paperweight from an important dynasty!
Jacob felt excitement bubble within him. After all, he would make more than two thousand dollars from this deal. Not only would he recover from yesterday’s loss, but he could also pocket a little profit.
Charlie looked up, smiled at Mr. Quinton, and stated, “I’ve already said I won’t sell it. Even if you offer me three hundred thousand dollars, my answer remains unchanged.”
“You!”
Mr. Quinton’s expression darkened in an instant, and a fierce glare flashed in his eyes.
The crowd surrounding them fell silent, caught off guard by Charlie’s outright refusal. Wasn’t this humiliating for him?
“You country bumpkin! You think you can challenge me?” Mr. Quinton sneered maliciously. “Why not ask around? Is there anything in this antique street that I can’t acquire?”
“You will hand it over today, whether you want to or not!”
After finishing his statement, Mr. Quinton waved his hand, and his bodyguards quickly surrounded Charlie.
The onlookers gasped in shock.
Even Jacob found himself stunned.
The Quinton family in Aurous Hill City?
They were a wealthy and formidable family, far surpassing even Gerald White’s family!
No wonder Young Mr. Quinton casually spent nine thousand on a fake celadon cup; he didn’t care about the money. It was all just for kicks!
As several bodyguards circled Charlie, their intimidating presence loomed large.
Jacob, wary of the escalating situation, quickly signaled Charlie to surrender the stone to Young Mr. Quinton.
Charlie showed no signs of concern, glancing at the bodyguards around him, and firmly declared, “I’ll say it again: I won’t sell! If you think you can use your influence to take what’s mine, just know that nobody can take my belongings— not even the king of heaven!”
“What’s wrong with me taking it by force?” Mr. Quinton retorted arrogantly, lifting his chin defiantly. “Let me make it clear: I am the king of heaven! You, a country bumpkin, want to challenge me? You’re simply asking for trouble!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 85
In recent days, Adam couldn’t shake the feeling that his second uncle had been deceived by the boy. However, he hesitated to provoke Charlie directly. As Charlie prepared to place a bid, Adam called out, even though he knew it was pointless—Charlie regarded him as he raised his hand. “Eight million!”
Jacob could no longer remain silent; he quickly exclaimed, “Charlie, let’s stop bidding. It’s not worth it. Just let it go.”
Charlie replied with a light smile, “Just watch how I handle this.”
With that, he raised his hand without hesitation. “Eight million!”
Everyone was left speechless.
While others were bidding 800,000, he just jumped to 8 million? Was he out of his mind?
Adam was equally taken aback, thinking to himself that this was not how auctions worked. He had just bid 800,000! The logical next bid should have been 900,000 or, at most, 1 million. What was with this 8 million offer?
Did he have cash to burn, or had he lost his senses?
Charlie raised an eyebrow at Adam and grinned, “Graham, please continue!”
Adam scoffed, “Am I crazy? Eight million for this worthless thing? Forget it, it’s all yours!”
Though Adam felt a bit embarrassed, he truly couldn’t justify bidding at that amount.
That bead was worth, at most, 700,000. Spending over 8 million on it would surely leave him regretting it later.
This was no way to spend money!
At that moment, Charlie looked directly at Adam with disdain. “Mr. Quinton, giving up so easily? You really aren’t up for this, are you?”
Laughter filled the room.
Adam’s face flushed. “Don’t provoke me. I’m just saying you can’t afford this! You’re pulling numbers from thin air. Do you think you can fool me? I’m waiting to see how you come up with this 8 million!”
Charlie shrugged, “If you can’t afford it, just admit it. There’s no need for all this explanation.”
At this point, the auctioneer banged the gavel.
“Eight million! Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Wade!”
An attendant approached Charlie with a wireless card reader and said, “Mr. Wade, please swipe your card to complete the payment.”
All eyes were on Charlie. Adam sneered, “Charlie, let’s see you swipe that card! Can you even pull together 8 million?”
Others shared his curiosity. Could he really back up his bold bid?
With a calm smile, Charlie pulled out Graham’s black card and swiped it confidently.
The black card didn’t require a password.
Transaction successful!
The attendant handed a receipt to Charlie, saying respectfully, “Mr. Wade, the item you bid on will be delivered to you shortly!”
“Great!” Charlie nodded affirmatively.
Everyone was taken aback!
It seemed he truly was wealthy!
He really had the audacity to purchase a necklace valued at 700,000 dollars for 8 million!
Turning to Adam, Charlie asked with a smile, “Graham, do you concede now?”
Laughter erupted around them as someone joked, “Graham, is your family struggling financially?”
“Haha, it looks like Graham has lost his edge!”
“Hahaha!”
Adam felt flush with embarrassment.
What the heck? This guy actually came up with that kind of money!
Now, he truly felt humiliated!
Grinding his teeth, he declared, “Charlie, I won’t back down in the next round!”
Charlie nodded and replied nonchalantly, “Sure, let’s see what happens in the next round!”
Adam couldn’t understand where Charlie’s confidence was coming from, unaware that Charlie was relying on a card given to him by the Quinton family…
Soon, several more items were auctioned off, the next being a semi-finished Tianhuang jade embryo.
Part of the jade embryo was encased in rock, making it clear that it was completely natural, starting at a price of 800,000.
Charlie thought it would be perfect for Graham to refine into a magical tool for protection, so he immediately raised his paddle.
“900,000!”
However, as soon as he spoke, a familiar voice chimed in.
“1 million!”
Charlie turned to see Adam’s challenging gaze.
Remaining calm, he continued to bid.
“1.1 million!”
“1.2 million!”
As the bids went back and forth, the price for the Tianhuang jade rose dramatically, with Adam deliberately pushing the final amount to 2 million!
Many attendees realized Adam was targeting Charlie again.
Everyone’s attention was riveted on Charlie’s next move.
He slowly raised his paddle and called out, “Twenty million!”
The crowd erupted in chaos!
Two million jumped straight to twenty million? Just like before, it was a tenfold increase!
Adam’s expression darkened.
Was Charlie out of his mind? Even if he had money, wasn’t there a limit? Such extravagance was ridiculous!
Although he had a reputation as a big spender in Aurous Hill, even he wouldn’t waste ten times the value on something…
Suddenly, he hesitated. Should he follow through? If he did, he’d be throwing away more than 18 million for no reason.
But if he didn’t, Charlie could very well harm his pride and the crowd might just eat him alive with their laughter.
Having already faced humiliation once, if Charlie bested him again, he’d never live it down!
Thinking this over, Adam gritted his teeth and shouted, “I’ll bid 20.1 million!”
Gasps filled the room!
Adam was upping his bid by a mere 100,000!
This was a direct challenge!
Charlie smiled slightly, raising his hand once more, “I’ll make it 30 million!”
“Oh my god!!!”
“This is getting insane!!!”
“This guy is too relentless!!!”
From 2 million to 20 million and then 20.1 million to 30 million, Charlie’s audacious bids left everyone speechless.
Adam was at his wit’s end!
What was Charlie’s deal? Was he really that wealthy? 30 million? He could buy 15 pieces of jade at that price! Anyone offering such amounts was a fool!
Charlie turned to Adam again, “Graham, let’s keep it going!”
Adam panicked.
Spending 30 million on a piece of jade would be disastrous if his family found out! His sister Aurora might even take him down for it. But with everyone watching…
What to do?
Adam’s face shifted between red and pale.
The auctioneer called out, “30 million once!”
“30 million twice!”
The lively crowd began to chant,
“Mr. Quinton, place a bid!”
“Mr. Quinton, you gotta be tough!”
“Mr. Quinton, don’t let us down!”
“Mr. Quinton, are you really scared? You were so bold just moments ago!”
Charlie added with a grin, “Mr. Quinton, if you don’t bid, you’re going to have to accept defeat!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 17
Thinking about this, Sabrina quickly donned a flattering expression and said to Charlie in a soft voice, “It is an honor for both our Shangri-La and for me, as your old classmate, that Mr. Wade has arrived. Please come in…”
She believed that if she showered Charlie with compliments, he might overlook or forget about her earlier actions.
However, she underestimated Charlie’s kindness.
Isaac Cameron, surprised by Sabrina’s words, asked, “Ms. Lee, are you a classmate of Mr. Wade?”
“Yes, yes, absolutely!” Sabrina replied hastily. “Mr. Wade was my class monitor in college, and we had a really good relationship!”
Isaac Cameron immediately stated, “Report to the President’s Office tomorrow, you will be the HR director of Shangri-La from now on!”
Moving from team leader to HR director would require at least three significant advancements within Shangri-La, and it would come with a salary increase of more than ten times. Additionally, she would hold considerable power over most employees, placing her among the senior executives.
When Sabrina heard this, she was so excited that she nearly fainted.
At this moment, Charlie said coldly, “Mr. Cameron, do you know what my relationship with Sabrina is?”
Isaac Cameron thought Charlie was dissatisfied with the arrangement and quickly said, “If Mr. Wade is unhappy, then let’s promote Ms. Lee directly to vice president!”
Charlie abruptly responded, “Because I didn’t have a membership card, I reached out to Sabrina for help, but she humiliated me for no reason and even attempted to have the security guard beat me. And now you want to promote her to vice president? What do you mean by that? Are you intentionally trying to provoke me?”
Hearing this, Isaac Cameron felt a chill run down his spine.
Flattering the horse indeed!
He then glared at Sabrina with anger in his eyes.
With that, he slapped Sabrina forcefully across the face and scolded, “How dare you offend Mr. Wade? Are you that audacious? Do you want to throw your life away?”
Sabrina trembled in fear, her body weakening. She knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing her head, crying out, “Mr. Cameron, I was wrong.”
Isaac Cameron suddenly kicked Sabrina hard, sending her sprawling several meters away, and cursed, “You blind fool! Today, you will learn the consequences of provoking Mr. Wade!”
He then shouted at the security guards standing nearby, “Beat her mercilessly! Hurt her badly, and ruin her plastic-surgery-enhanced face. Let everyone in Aurous Hill know that any company daring to hire her in the future will be opposing me, Isaac Cameron!”
Sabrina was terrified and urgently pleaded, “Mr. Cameron, I was wrong, please forgive me!”
Isaac Cameron was furious and yelled, “Now you realize your mistake? What about before? Did you think you could insult Master Wade without consequences? If it weren’t for Master Wade, I’d have killed you myself!”
Sabrina broke down in tears, kneeling and crawling towards Charlie, repeatedly banging her head to the ground, “Class Rep, I was wrong, I’m so sorry! For the sake of our past as classmates, please…”
Charlie calmly asked her, “Sabrina, we were classmates, so why did you insult me and my wife just now?”
Sabrina, filled with regret, cried, “Class Rep, I was confused just earlier. It was wrong of me to act that way. Please forgive me…”
Charlie responded, “If no one offends me, I won’t retaliate. But if someone does, I will not forgive them!”
He then added, “Drink the bitter wine you brewed yourself!”
Isaac Cameron interjected, “Wretch! If you dare to speak to Master Wade again, I’ll have someone tear that mouth of yours apart!”
Sabrina no longer dared to plead for mercy, collapsing to the ground in tears.
Charlie felt no sympathy for her and completely ignored her. He turned to Isaac Cameron with an emotionless expression and said, “I want to discuss the Sky Garden with you. Let’s go to your office.”
Isaac Cameron nodded quickly, replying respectfully, “Mr. Wade, right this way!”
He then pointed at the security guard beside him and commanded, “Beat her hard!”
“Yes, Mr. Cameron!”
How dare the security guard defy him? He immediately rushed over, restraining Sabrina and violently striking her.
Sabrina continued to wail, but Charlie paid no mind and entered Shangri-La, guided by Isaac Cameron.
Once in Isaac Cameron’s office, Charlie got straight to the point, “My wife and I will be celebrating our wedding anniversary in a few days. I want to book the entire Sky Garden. Can you arrange that?”
Isaac Cameron replied without hesitation, “Master, to ensure fairness to all premium members, the Sky Garden has always refrained from booking the entire venue. Even major city leaders cannot request such a service. However, if it’s for you, the Sky Garden can be reserved just for you anytime in the future!”
Charlie said lightly, “That’s not necessary. Just reserve it for the anniversary. Also, I need you to help me prepare a little surprise for my wife.”
Isaac Cameron instantly responded, “Master, rest assured. All of us at Shangri-La will follow your instructions!”
……
After completing business at Shangri-La, as Charlie took the bus home, he noticed that nearly all the passengers were engrossed in short video apps like Facebook and TikTok.
To his surprise, everyone was watching the same video!
It was a video of him spending 13 million in cash at the Emerald Court!
Captured from Stephen Thompson’s Rolls-Royce motorcade, it featured a long line of high-end Rolls-Royces, a dozen black-clad security guards controlling black suitcases, 13 million in cash scattered on the ground, and a sales manager looking down on others, filled with shame. The entirety of this spectacle had been posted online.
However, the video did not show Charlie’s face.
The video quickly gained popularity in Aurous Hill, with countless people speculating about the identity of the super-rich man. Many girls even dreamed of a fairy tale romance, hoping to one day meet this elusive wealthy individual.
Charlie reassured himself he was difficult to identify in the video, finally breathing a sigh of relief as he returned home.
At that moment, his family was bursting with joy.
Claire had secured a contract with the Emgrand Group and was about to become the director of the Wilson Group. Naturally, her parents were ecstatic and had tears of happiness in their eyes.
After enduring years of disdain from the Wilson family, she could finally hold her head high and live life with dignity!
Her in-laws were so overjoyed that they were no longer as irritated with Charlie as before.
Her mother-in-law exclaimed, “Oh, I’m so happy today! My daughter is truly exceptional!”
Then looking at Charlie, she smiled and said, “Charlie, you have inspired Claire in this journey. I won’t have you cook today, let’s find a restaurant to celebrate!”
Claire chimed in, “How about we go to Kempinski for Western cuisine?”
“That’s too pricey!” her mother-in-law exclaimed, “The average cost must be over a thousand, right?”
Claire smiled, replying, “Mom, the director’s salary is quite high—around one million annually.”
“Oh!” her mother-in-law clapped her hands in delight, exclaiming, “Wonderful! My Claire is finally achieving success!”
She then added, “But remember, you ought to give at least 70% of your future salary to me. You young people don’t understand financial management, it’s much safer to let me handle your money than for you to mismanage it!”
Claire- nodded and smiled, “Alright, Mom, I’ll send you money every month, but let’s make a deal, you can’t keep criticizing Charlie in the future, after all, he is your son-in-law!”
Her mother-in-law smiled back, “Deal! For your sake, I’ll try to mention him less from now on!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 7
Seeing that her parents were targeting Charlie, Claire sighed and said, “Dad, Mom, this situation has nothing to do with Charlie. I don’t want them to belittle me any longer. Haven’t we endured enough over the years?”
Claire’s mother abruptly exclaimed, “Then you can’t accept this job. Even if you disregard yourself, people won’t care about your grandmother anymore!”
Charlie wore a bitter smile as he took in the scene. He feared that his snobbish in-laws would never believe that he was actually the boss of Emgrand Group.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
“Coming, coming…”
Mother-in-law Elaine sighed and opened the door.
Charlie looked up and saw a young man dressed in an Armani suit standing at the entrance. He appeared both elegant and handsome, wearing a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which seemed to be worth at least three to five million.
Elaine, his mother-in-law, exclaimed excitedly, “Oh, it’s Wendell! What brings you here?”
The man who entered was Wendell Jones, the son of the Jones family, who had been pursuing Claire.
Wendell Jones smiled and said, “Aunt, I heard that Claire has taken over the collaboration with Emgrand Group, so I came here to offer her some advice.”
“Oh! You really are our family’s savior!”
Elaine’s excitement was palpable. She looked at Wendell Jones as if he were her future son-in-law and quickly welcomed him inside, saying, “Wendell, do you have a way to help Claire secure the Emgrand Group contract?”
Wendell Jones nodded with a smile, completely overlooking Charlie as if he were a mere ant on the sidewalk. He approached Claire with a slight grin and said, “Claire, I can’t believe you didn’t mention such an important development. Don’t worry, Emgrand Group collaborates with my company. I’ll ask my dad to lend a hand and do my best to assist you.”
In truth, Wendell Jones’s father had little influence, he said this merely to show off in front of Claire.
Claire had always known that Wendell was interested in her, so she replied coolly, “Wendell Jones, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll find a way on my own.”
Elaine gasped in disbelief, “Claire, are you out of your mind? Young Master Jones is offering help with good intentions, how can you dismiss him like that?”
Without responding to her mother, Charlie interjected curiously, “Mr. Jones, I’m genuinely interested in how you plan to help Claire. Emgrand Group is so vast, and I doubt it’s within your control. Do you really have a way to secure a contract for Claire?”
Wendell Jones scoffed derisively and said, “What do you know? The Jones family has always had a solid partnership with Emgrand Group. If we get this project, we’ll get at least one-third of the two billion project from Emgrand! At that point, I can convince my father to allocate tens of millions from that share to contract with Claire, which will help her fulfill the requirements, right?”
Charlie responded in surprise, “Oh! I didn’t realize Mr. Jones’s family had such a close relationship with the Emgrand Group!”
Wendell Jones sneered, “Of course! In Aurous Hill, everyone knows our Jones family has a strong partnership with Emgrand Group.”
After saying this, Wendell Jones glared at Charlie, full of contempt, and advised, “Charlie, as someone stuck in a well, I suggest you step aside for Claire. You can’t provide her with the happiness she deserves, all you do is hold her back.”
At that moment, Claire said coolly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones, but I don’t need your help, and please do not speak disrespectfully to my husband!”
Wendell Jones was taken aback and exclaimed, “Claire, I’m going out of my way to help you, and yet you defend this loser? What is it about him that makes you want to protect him?”
Claire firmly replied, “He is not a loser, he is my husband!”
Wendell Jones’s face darkened with anger as he shot back, “Fine! You’re asking for it! I’ll be waiting to see how you manage this situation! If you can’t handle it, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”
With that, Wendell Jones turned around and slammed the door behind him.
Elaine wanted to chase after him to explain, but by then, he was already gone.
Frustrated, she slapped her thigh and directed her ire at Charlie, saying, “You’re infuriating! What can a useless person like you do except drag Claire down further? Young Master Jones was sincerely offering help, and you pushed him away!”
Charlie replied nonchalantly, “Mom, he was just talking. He couldn’t secure the Emgrand Group collaboration, so how could he assist Claire?”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Elaine retorted angrily. “The Jones family is set to gain one-third of the Emgrand Group projects, and you don’t understand anything!”
Charlie sneered inwardly, knowing full well the Jones family’s abilities. He recognized that Emgrand Group would never collaborate with them again! Even if there had been a history of cooperation, that relationship was now severed.
Claire, unaware of Charlie’s thoughts, turned to her mother and said, “Mom, don’t blame Charlie. Let’s discuss this after I return from Emgrand Group!”
“Ugh!” Elaine sighed, feeling that fate had been unjust. She had married a worthless husband, and Claire, instead, had found one even worse.
What a tragedy!
