The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 56

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 56

Charlie had all five individuals brought before him and stated coldly, “Today, I will spare your lives. However, if anyone dares to reveal anything that occurred today, I will eliminate your entire family. Do you understand?”

The five nodded vigorously in response.

At this moment, simply surviving was a stroke of luck, and they dared not defy Charlie’s orders!

Seeing that the five were completely intimidated by his demeanor, Charlie nodded with satisfaction and addressed Lily Lewis’s father, Lawson Lewis, saying, “You deceived my brother, so you must face the consequences. Tomorrow, the restaurant will be transferred to my brother and you and your daughter need to vacate the premises. Do you understand?”

Lawson Lewis nodded earnestly, “I understand. I will leave first thing tomorrow!”

Charlie then turned to Jerome’s father, Dylan Hunt and commanded, “Your son swindled my brother and seriously harmed him. You will pay my brother 2 million in compensation tomorrow, without exception. Do you understand?”

Dylan Hunt promptly replied, “Mr. Wade, I will transfer the money to your brother tomorrow!”

Satisfied, Charlie instructed Don Albert’s men, “Alright, take out the trash!”

The crowd immediately began to escort the five away.

Once they were gone, Charlie turned to Bill and said, “Bill, you did an excellent job this time.”

Bill beamed with pride and replied, “Mr. Wade, this is what I’m here for!”

Charlie casually remarked, “I will have someone transfer two million to your account as a reward for your efforts.”

Bill was absolutely thrilled and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”

Although he earned a good living following Don Albert, the latter wasn’t one to part with such a large sum of money all at once.

Charlie sent a text to Isaac Cameron, requesting that he facilitate the transfer to Bill. Even though he had plenty of money in his account, it wasn’t convenient for him to handle the transaction directly at the moment.

A minute later, the funds had been deposited into Bill’s account.

Bill was ecstatic and bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

Charlie then addressed Don Albert again, saying, “Don Albert, I hope you won’t think little of this two million.”

Don Albert quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, it’s my privilege to assist you.”

Charlie nodded and remarked, “I will remember this favor and will give you an opportunity to elevate your status in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Don Albert immediately knelt and bowed his head to Charlie.

For Don Albert, it wasn’t money he sought, but rather a chance to ascend to a higher level.

However, for someone like him in the underworld, advancing in rank was akin to climbing a mountain.

Isaac Cameron was the person he had always aspired to please, yet Cameron had never regarded him highly due to his lowly background.

Now, with Charlie’s endorsement, Isaac Cameron might finally look favorably upon him, paving the way for a more promising future!

After rewarding Bill, Charlie turned to Douglas and asked, “Are you satisfied with what transpired today?”

Douglas was utterly astonished. He could hardly fathom why Charlie had become so powerful. Even the underground sovereign of Aurous Hill had to kneel before him!

He was speechless for a while before regaining his composure and hurriedly replying, “I’m satisfied! Truly satisfied!”

Charlie said, “I eliminated your grievances, facilitated the transfer of the restaurant and secured the two million in compensation. From now on, you will have to stand on your own two feet.”

Douglas immediately replied, “Charlie, I will definitely strive to repay your kindness in the future! Whatever you ask of me, I will comply without hesitation!”

Charlie nodded and remarked, “You need to focus on your recovery first and once you are well, run the restaurant diligently. If I need your help in the future, I will let you know.”

Douglas responded earnestly, “I’m always ready to obey your commands!”

Charlie continued, “Oh and remember not to talk about today’s events with anyone. I prefer to keep my identity concealed, understand?”

Douglas nodded rapidly, saying, “I understand! Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word, even if it costs me my life!”

Charlie agreed, “I will arrange for two nurses to take care of you. Focus on your healing, I’ll be leaving now.”

After returning home, Charlie chose not to share the day’s events with his wife, Claire. He wanted to shield her from unnecessary worries for her safety, it was better for her to remain unaware.

The next day, while out shopping for groceries, he received a phone call. Upon answering, he discovered it was Jasmine, the owner of Vintage Deluxe and a member of the Moore family.

Charlie wondered what Jasmine needed to discuss.

After greeting, Jasmine’s voice came through, “Mr. Wade, I sincerely apologize for interrupting you. Please forgive me for the intrusion.”

Charlie instinctively inquired, “Is there an issue with the jade spring vase that I repaired?”

Jasmine quickly replied, “No, Mr. Wade, I am calling about something entirely different.”

Charlie prompted, “Go on.”

Jasmine explained, “I recently came across something I find quite intriguing, but I’m uncertain about it. Given your expertise in antiques, I would like to invite you to come and take a look. Would you be interested?”

While Charlie was not particularly passionate about antiques, he currently sought items with reiki, so he continued, “What exactly is it?”

Jasmine answered, “It’s an ancient jade. According to the seller, wearing it can help soothe the mind and ward off evil spirits.”

Charlie’s mind began to race. The “Apocalyptic Book” he had discovered contained references to spiritual objects. Items imbued with reiki could be tremendously beneficial, he was eager to determine whether such treasures truly existed, so he agreed, “Alright, I can join you.”

Jasmine replied gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! I will pick you up at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Sounds good.”

After hanging up the phone, Charlie pondered the implications.

Wealthy individuals often revere antiques that promote harmony, tranquility and protection from harm. Building connections in this arena could open up more opportunities for him in the future.

The following morning, Jasmine arrived promptly to collect Charlie.

As he settled into the car, Jasmine remarked, “Mr. Wade, there are several others in Aurous Hill who are also interested in purchasing this ancient jade today. I’m afraid the competition will be quite stiff.”

Charlie nodded and calmly replied, “It doesn’t matter how many competitors there are. What truly matters is the quality of the item. If it’s truly exceptional, numerous bidders won’t pose a problem. I trust in Miss Moore’s capabilities, if you want a treasure, I believe you’ll secure it despite the competition.”

Jasmine smiled slightly and responded, “Mr. Wade, you are too kind. As the saying goes, there are always stronger mountains and more skilled people out there. Here in Aurous Hill, there are countless formidable individuals. I’m sure many are more powerful than me.”

Feigning surprise, Charlie asked, “Really? Isn’t the Moore family the leading family in Aurous Hill?”

Jasmine chuckled and explained, “That’s merely the surface. For instance, consider the new chairman of the Emgrand Group that single entity is equivalent to our entire Moore family. This person possesses immense capability.”

She sighed once more, “I genuinely wish to build a connection with this influential figure, but unfortunately, they remain shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to find a way in.”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 49

After lunch, Jacob, Charlie’s father-in-law, was already dressed and eager to go. He urged Charlie, “Charlie, hurry up! Let’s take our new car to the antique street. There’s a shop that just received a Tang Dynasty official kiln vase and I want to see it.”

Charlie couldn’t help but plead with him, “Dad, are you really getting into antiques again? We don’t have much money. Isn’t it a bit extravagant to purchase antiques?”

Despite not having much money himself, Jacob harbored dreams of getting rich. He liked to stroll down the antique street when he had free time, hoping to stumble upon a great deal, yet he had mostly been taken advantage of in recent years.

There had been a period of quiet, but unexpectedly, the allure of the antique world had returned with a vengeance.

Noticing Charlie’s hesitance, Jacob scoffed and said, “Stop with the excuses and take me there quickly!”

Charlie felt helpless but knew it would be difficult to refuse, so he reluctantly drove his father-in-law to the antique street.

Aurous Hill is a renowned historical city and the antique street outside the scenic area is famous across China, drawing antique dealers and bargain hunters from all over the country. The local tourism department seized the opportunity to invest heavily in refurbishing the antique street, turning it into a tourist attraction.

Upon arriving at the antique street, Jacob confidently approached the entrance of an antique shop and informed the receptionist that he had a reservation. The receptionist then led both of them to the VIP room located at the back to view the artifacts.

As Charlie was about to follow, Jacob turned and said, “Don’t come in. You wouldn’t understand anything anyway. Just wait for me at the door of the VIP room!”

With no choice but to comply, Charlie replied, “Got it, Dad!”

Jacob clasped his hands behind his back and followed the receptionist into the VIP room, while Charlie took a seat in the waiting area.

A few minutes later, Charlie was startled by a loud “bang” coming from the VIP room.

He saw Jacob rushing out in a panic, muttering to himself, “It’s over, it’s all over! This is bad!”

Concerned, Charlie hurried over to him and peered inside the VIP room. He noticed a tall, thin ceramic vessel lying broken on the ground, shattered into two pieces, surrounded by numerous small ceramic shards.

From the fragments, it was clear that the broken piece was a Tang Dynasty jade pot spring bottle.

Having grown up in the Wade family, Charlie was well-versed in such matters. He recognized at once that the bottle was genuine and could easily fetch several million dollars. It appeared that Jacob had made a significant blunder this time.

Inside the VIP room, a middle-aged man with a stern expression addressed Jacob, “Mr. Wilson, we purchased this jade pot spring bottle for over 5 million. Since you broke it, you must pay for the damages!”

This man was Peter, the manager of Vintage Deluxe.

In a state of panic, Jacob grabbed Charlie and exclaimed, “This is my precious son-in-law! Do you know how much money he has? Forget 5 million, even 50 million wouldn’t be a problem! You two can negotiate the compensation without me, I have other matters to attend to!”

With that, Jacob pushed Charlie forward and hurried out of the store.

Charlie was bewildered, his father-in-law’s audacity was beyond belief. He clearly intended for him to take the fall!

Peter glanced coldly at Charlie and asked, “Sir, the total is 5.38 million. Would you prefer to pay by card or bank transfer?”

Charlie shrugged and replied, “I don’t have any money.”

It wasn’t that he couldn’t cover the cost, he simply wanted to teach his father-in-law a lesson so he wouldn’t be dragged into the antique street on a daily basis.

“No money?” Peter gritted his teeth. “You broke our property at Vintage Deluxe! Do you truly believe you can escape responsibility by claiming you have no money?”

Charlie responded helplessly, “I’m not trying to avoid responsibility, but I genuinely have no money. Besides, I didn’t break the bottle, why should I pay for it?”

Peter was frustrated. “Isn’t that your father-in-law?”

Charlie nodded. “You mentioned he’s my father-in-law, not me. Whoever breaks it should be the one to pay. This is basic logic debt belongs to the debtor and misfortune shouldn’t befall the family of the wrongdoer. Don’t you understand this principle?”

Peter, although irritated, couldn’t dismiss what Charlie had said. If he forced Charlie to pay without an explanation, it would reflect poorly on Vintage Deluxe and harm its reputation.

In a hurry, he ordered those around him, “You guys, go after that old man now!”

Charlie watched as they scrambled to catch his father-in-law, a smile forming on his lips as he said nothing.

In reality, he could have simply charged the amount to a credit card, but that would mean rewarding his unscrupulous father-in-law. Instead, it was better to let Jacob face the consequences.

After all, if such a situation arose again, it could result in even greater mishaps.

With everyone at Vintage Deluxe pursuing Jacob, Charlie idly glanced at the broken pieces of the vase on the floor.

The vase, about half a meter tall, now lay in two parts, accompanied by shards, it was truly a shame to see it destroyed.

Then he noticed something unusual in the lower half of the jar, something seemed to be concealed there.

He quickly reached inside and retrieved a small wooden box!

To think there would be a mystery hidden within this vase!

The jade pot spring bottle was of a small and large construction and this wooden box was clearly two or three sizes larger than the bottle’s mouth. It appeared that the box hadn’t been inserted later, it had been created along with the bottle! This indicated that the wooden box also dated back to the Tang Dynasty!

He held the wooden box in his hands, examined it closely and with a bit of pressure, opened it with a snap.

Upon opening the wooden box, an exceptionally refreshing fragrance escaped into the air. Charlie inhaled deeply and felt an invigorating rush.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered a tiny ancient book inside the box, so small it could fit within the palm of his hand!

Charlie picked up the minuscule book and noticed four ancient seal characters inscribed on the title page “Apocalyptic Book.”

“What a fascinating title. I wonder what it contains.” Charlie muttered as he began to flip through the pages.

The first chapter was titled “Medical Skills,” detailing numerous case studies and treatment methods.

Charlie furrowed his brow. Having been exposed to Chinese medicine, he was familiar with its basic theories, but the content in this book was clearly more advanced than current practices.

Some of the diagnostic and treatment methods were unfamiliar and towards the end of the medical skills chapter, he even found references to alchemy. The effects attributed to some potions were beyond anything known in modern society.

Intrigued, Charlie sat down on the ground, engrossed in flipping through the pages.

To his surprise, this “Apocalyptic Book” also included topics on Feng Shui divination and various extraordinary techniques such as treasure evaluation and restoration, alongside many other addities.

Charlie lost track of time as he read, feeling that every word was sinking into his consciousness, stirring a sense of exhilaration within him. He had stumbled upon a true treasure!

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 60

The next day was the weekend.

Charlie was taken by his father-in-law for an early visit to Antique Street. His father-in-law was in high spirits. As soon as he exited the car, he waved at Charlie and exclaimed, “Come on, I’ll show you what it means to find a treasure!”

With that, he strode toward Antique Street.

Charlie hurried after him, taking in his surroundings as he walked.

On weekends, Antique Street was far busier than usual.

Antique jade shops lined both sides closely and the vendors who set up stalls for the weekend were packed in, effectively blocking the entire street.

Many vendors had laid out plastic sheets on the ground, displaying a variety of antique jades and inviting customers to browse on the spot.

Charlie scanned the area casually and noticed almost no authentic items for sale. Most vendors were unscrupulous, taking advantage of inexperienced buyers and foreign tourists.

Many tourists purchasing fakes were completely oblivious; they beamed with delight while holding their imitations, convinced they had found a great deal.

“Here it is!”

Jacob stopped in front of a simple stall, barely able to contain his excitement.

Several tourists stood near the stall, inspecting the antiques. Worried about being left behind, Jacob quickly maneuvered into the crowd.

Charlie took a quick glance at the stall. It consisted of an oilcloth spread on the ground, with over a dozen antiques buried in dirt: blue and white vases, coins from the Five Emperors, copper wine cups, blood jade bracelets and faded calligraphy and paintings…

There were plenty of items, but after a cursory examination, Charlie realized they were all replicas.

The stall owner was a thin man with dark skin, wearing rough blue clothing. His hair was shiny and tousled, giving him a naïve appearance that seemed rather dull.

“Look at this!” Jacob called out excitedly to Charlie, pointing to a colorful bottle with a large belly and a narrow mouth. He leaned in and said, “This wine bottle would be perfect with my two cups! If I buy it and create a set, its value could double!”

Charlie inspected the wine bottle, weighed it in his hand and turned to ask the owner, “How much?”

The vendor, his eyes bulging, replied stupidly, “My father said it’s worth at least $20,000 and I won’t sell it for a penny less!”

Jacob nearly burst out laughing at that and told Charlie, “This seller doesn’t know what they have, let’s buy it quickly or someone else will snatch it up!”

He hurriedly pulled out his wallet.

At that moment, Charlie pressed Jacob’s hand down and smiled, saying, “Dad, it’s not worth $20,000, let’s skip this.”

“What?” Jacob appeared stunned. “Then how much do you think it’s worth?”

Charlie raised his palm and waved it in front of the vendor, “This amount.”

“Five thousand?” the vendor asked, wide-eyed.

Charlie shook his head, “No, it’s actually fifty dollars.”

The vendor stared at Charlie for several seconds, as if he were inspecting an alien, before suddenly shouting, “Do you even know the value of antiques? This is a treasure left by my grandfather you city folks are so ruthless!”

Jacob grew anxious and grabbed Charlie, saying, “Stop speaking nonsense, just don’t jeopardize the deal.”

Charlie smiled, picked up the bottle, and turned it over. He pushed aside the yellow mud from the bottom, pointed to a narrow gap, and remarked, “Dad, look at this.”

The gap was very small. If Charlie hadn’t pointed it out, most wouldn’t have noticed it at all. In the crevice, there were tiny letters visible.

“Made in China.”

Jacob stood speechless, his mouth agape as if he were trying to catch flies, struggling to comprehend. Suddenly, he regained his senses, pointed at the vendor with a flushed face and shouted, “You cheated me!!”

Holding the wine bottle, Charlie shook it at the bewildered vendor and said, “Real manufacturers don’t blatantly forge antiques and then write this label themselves. You’re clever enough to cover it with dirt. In short, I’ll give you thirty dollars. Will you sell it?”

“This…” The vendor hesitated before the look of innocence vanished from his face. He slapped his forehead and chuckled. “Oh, I was rushing out today and grabbed the wrong bottle!”

“Grabbed the wrong one?” Charlie questioned, picking up another snuff bottle smeared with dirt. He wiped the grime off the mouth of the bottle, held it up to the sun, and said seriously, “This isn’t the wrong one it’s made in Suzhou City.”

Inside the snuff bottle were small clear letters.

“Made in Suzhou City Handicraft Factory.”

“I can’t read who’s to say what it says?” The vendor, realizing he’d been caught, no longer had the urge to haggle. He smiled sheepishly, wrapping up his oil cloth and moving to clean the dirt from his feet.

Jacob had finally come back to his senses and was furious he had been taken for a fool for too long. He seized the vendor and shouted, “You crook, give me back my money!”

“What money? I’ve never seen you before!” The vendor struggled and fake copper coins and imitation jade horses spilled from the oilcloth in his hands.

The jade horse didn’t break when it hit the ground, made rather of hardened plastic.

“If you don’t return my money, I’ll call the police!” Jacob glared angrily, nearly having an explosion from his fury.

As the two men wrestled, something suddenly fell from the vendor’s arms.

When it dropped, Charlie’s brows furrowed as he fixed his gaze on the object on the ground. It was a fist-sized white pebble, much like those found on riverbanks, gray and dull.

However, there was one distinguishing feature a few words were carved into the pebble “peace and wealth!”

The lettering was rough and evidently handcrafted.

Such inscribed stones were common in tourist areas and held no real value, which was likely why the vendor hadn’t showcased it earlier.

Nevertheless, Charlie stepped closer, picked up the stone, and felt his blood surge with excitement.

At that moment, he sensed a unique aura emanating from this antique!

What he termed “aura” was more like a potent energy field, strongly attracting him.

Charlie understood this must be the reiki recorded in the “Apocalyptic Book!”

Spiritual energy is a long-lost mysterious force that can completely transform a person’s physical abilities and could even be cultivated to yield many unimaginable benefits!

Feeling elated, Charlie weighed the pebble in his hands and asked, “Is this yours?”

The vendor, taken aback for a moment, nodded almost without thinking, “Yes.”

“How much for this stone?” Inquired Charlie.

Jacob, equally surprised, questioned, “Why would you buy such a worthless stone? Don’t you realize that this scammer only sells fakes?”

“It’s just a stone, might as well buy it to ward off bad luck,” Charlie replied, smiling.

The vendor seized the opportunity to break free from Jacob’s grasp and smirked at Charlie, “Do you genuinely want to buy it?”

Charlie nodded firmly, “I do want to purchase it!”

The vendor perked up, speaking rapidly, “Brother, you truly have an eye for quality! Don’t look down on this pebble it has a fascinating origin! It was once a paperweight on the dragon table in Emperor Chian’s study…”

Charlie had no interest in the vendor’s lengthy explanation. He interrupted impatiently, “Cut the nonsense and get to the point!”

The vendor chuckled nervously, “Since you’re a connoisseur… how about 20,000?”

Charlie scoffed, “Have you lost your mind? The price is three hundred! If not, I’ll call the police on you.”

“Three hundred?” The vendor sighed and forced a laugh, “Okay, brother, three hundred it is.”

Charlie smiled subtly, holding the stone tightly in his grip.

Jacob remained bewildered, uncertain as to why Charlie would buy such a worthless stone. Just as he was about to inquire, a clanging noise suddenly erupted from the side.

“Oh, that stone looks great! This Young Master wants it!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 55

Lawson Lewis never expected that even with his admission of guilt, Charlie would show him any mercy!

Fear engulfed him and he fainted.

Yet, Bill’s steel rod brought him back to consciousness in an instant with its excruciating pain!

“Ah!!!”

Having lived most of his life, Lawson Lewis had never faced such humiliation.

He broke down in tears, pleading, “Mr. Wade, I truly know I’ve made a mistake. From now on, I will strictly discipline my ungrateful daughter and prevent her from causing harm to anyone ever again.”

Charlie replied derisively, “You really excel at avoiding responsibility!”

Those words sent a shiver down Lawson Lewis’s spine!

Charlie’s expression turned serious as he inquired, “Mr. Lawson Lewis, I have a question! My brother invested $100,000 in your restaurant. Why haven’t you returned it? Why do you claim that the money was a gift from my brother?”

Lawson Lewis’s complexion drained of color as he hurriedly responded, “I was wrong, I admit it! I was greedy and dishonest; I truly understand my mistakes!”

Turning his gaze to Douglas, who was fuming on the bed, he pleaded, “Douglas, I was misled. Don’t worry, I will definitely return your $100,000 with interest. Please, ask Mr. Wade for mercy; my old body can hardly take this…”

Charlie looked at Douglas and asked, “Do you wish to intervene on his behalf?”

Douglas firmly shook his head and declared, “No! I will not plead for any of them!”

“Alright!” Charlie nodded in approval. “You’re still a man!”

He then turned his attention back to Lawson Lewis, filled with despair. “Not only are you a terrible parent, but you also show disrespect to your elders while trying to seize all of my brother’s hard-earned savings. How is that any different from robbery?”

Trembling in fear, Lawson Lewis begged and wept, “Mr. Wade, I am a wretch! I am not worthy of being called human! I deserve to die! Please forgive me, I beg you! I will serve you as your slave and call you grandpa! Grandpa Ye, please show mercy!”

Charlie scoffed, “Forgive you? It seems that while you may be unattractive, your thoughts are rather lovely!”

With that, he instructed Bill, “Disable his right hand! Let’s see if he dares to rob anyone again in the future!”

Lawson Lewis cried out in desperation, “No, Mr. Wade, please don’t…”

Bill swung the rod with force…

“Ah, my hand… my hand…”

Charlie ordered Bill, “Silence him and throw him aside!”

“Understood!”

Bill quickly covered Lawson Lewis’s mouth and tossed him aside with Brother Zaz.

Lily Lewis was about to lose her mind with fear.

The same horror had overtaken Jerome.

Jerome’s father, Dylan Hunt, was also in shock! He glared at Jerome and slapped him, seething, “You fool! Who told you to act recklessly? Do you want to ruin me?”

Charlie observed Dylan Hunt with a smirk, asking, “What’s wrong? Your son has been unfaithful to my brother’s fiance, leading him to betray my brother and you, as a father, were unaware?”

Tears streamed down Dylan Hunt’s face, leaving him at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to respond.

The grim fate of Lawson Lewis loomed over him. If he admitted to knowing, his right leg would be broken if he claimed ignorance, his left leg would face the same fate…

Noticing his silence, Charlie turned to Bill, “This old man seems a bit clever, thinking he can evade punishment by staying quiet. Bill, break his legs!”

“Yes, Mr. Wade!”

Charlie’s icy stare landed on the terrified Dylan Hunt as he coldly remarked, “Blame your son for the harm he’s caused you!”

Two anguished cries later, Dylan Hunt’s legs were utterly crippled!

Seeing his father incapacitated, Jerome lost control and a yellow, foul liquid seeped from his clothing. In sheer terror, he wet himself!

Charlie sneered, “It’s clear that you really are a foolish child who cannot keep his urges in check. Everything happening today is the result of your inability to control yourself. I see no reason for you to continue having that part intact.”

With that, he instructed Bill, “Make it so he can never be a man again!”

Bill’s face briefly showed horror. As a man himself, he instinctively felt a tightening in his pants at such a command.

Don Albert roared, “What are you waiting for? Act on Mr. Wade’s orders immediately!”

Bill snapped back to reality, commanding those around him, “Hold this scoundrel’s legs apart!”

Jerome, feeling desperate, screamed, “Mr. Wade, Grandpa Wade, please spare me! Even if you cripple my hands and feet, please don’t take away my manhood!”

Charlie grinned, “Do you really think this is a choice between crippling your hands and feet or losing that part? You’re mistaken this is a double-choice scenario and there’s no escaping either!”

And then Bill brought his foot down with great force…

Jerome was rendered completely a eunuch!

However, this was just the beginning!

Bill proceeded to cripple his hands and feet at Charlie’s command!

Jerome, who had betrayed others and caused harm, was now rendered utterly useless. No one felt pity; all he faced was the consequence of his own actions!

Now, only Lily Lewis remained unscathed.

At this moment, Lily Lewis was on the verge of insanity. She knelt by the bed, clutching Douglas’s hand and cried, “Husband, I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have betrayed you. I truly love you, but that Jerome forced himself on me and took nude photos and I had no choice but to comply with his demands!”

Jerome shouted in anger, “Lily Lewis, you shameless woman! How dare you frame me! It’s true that you came to my pawnshop with your father and because my family is wealthy, you seduced me and slept with me! I would never have engaged with you otherwise!”

He then cried to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, don’t believe him! I have the chat logs; she was the one who added me on WeChat and confessed her love for me the moment she saw me! She also sent multiple nude photos to entice me! Those photos are on my phone. You can check for yourself!”

Lily Lewis turned pale with disbelief and shouted, “Jerome, didn’t you promise to delete those pictures after showing them to you?”

Jerome clenched his teeth, “You’re such a manipulative person! Thankfully, I didn’t listen to you and kept the photos otherwise, you would have done me in!”

In desperation, Lily Lewis implored Douglas, “Please, hubby, forgive my moment of weakness for the sake of all our years together!”

Charlie then asked Douglas, “What’s your opinion?”

Douglas glanced at Lily Lewis, pushed her away and stated coldly, “I don’t know this woman.”

Lily Lewis immediately broke down in tears!

Charlie declared, “In that case, let’s break her legs and disfigure her face so she can’t entice any men for a time!”

Charlie felt no sympathy for a woman as malicious as Lily Lewis!

Bill promptly executed Charlie’s order, crippling Lily Lewis’s legs, destroying her face and even using medical scissors to cut her hair!

At that moment, all five individuals had paid a steep price for their actions!

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 51

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 51

Raymond was taken aback! He never imagined that the bottle repaired by the egg would turn out to be an even more valuable treasure! He quickly pointed to Charlie and said, “Miss, this gentleman is the one who repaired it…”

Jasmine looked at Charlie, puzzled. He seemed too young to possess knowledge of such a rare cultural relic restoration technique.

With a slight smile, Jasmine asked politely, “I am Jasmine from the Moore family. May I know your name and from which master you learned this craft?”

Jacob, the scared father-in-law, was left speechless upon hearing Jasmine’s name!

The Moore family!

The Moore family is the leading family in Aurous Hill! Although they may not match the super families in Eastcliff in strength, they are indeed a giant that no one in Aurous Hill can compete with!

He certainly didn’t expect to meet the eldest daughter of the Moore family here!

Meanwhile, Charlie had no idea about Jasmine’s identity. Although the Moore family was significant, it was merely a family possessing hundreds of billions in assets. Compared to the Wade family, which boasted trillions, it was quite a difference. So he replied casually, “My name is Charlie, but I don’t have a Master.”

Then Charlie added, “My father-in-law damaged your Jade Spring Vase. I’ve repaired it. Please assess its value to see if any compensation is necessary.”

Jasmine shook her head with a smile, “Since you repaired it, this bottle now holds far greater value than before. Technically, it should be us at Vintage Deluxe who owe you.”

Charlie smiled slightly, “No need to be overly polite. Since everything is resolved, my father-in-law and I should be on our way.”

Jasmine’s eyes brightened as she said with a smile, “Sir, may I know your full name? Could you provide a contact number for future communication?”

As she spoke, Jasmine pulled out her business card and handed it to him, saying, “Sir, here is my business card. Please accept it.”

Charlie nodded, took the card and replied, “My full name is Charlie Wade, but I don’t have a business card.”

“That’s alright.” Jasmine said “Could Mr. Wade share a phone number with me?”

Charlie thought that it would be beneficial to meet new people and Jasmine seemed polite and humble certainly not overbearing. She was quite pleasant to be around.

Thus, he exchanged phone numbers with Jasmine.

Jasmine then asked, “Mr. Wade, would you like me to arrange a car to take you two home?”

Charlie waved his hand and said, “No need, I drove here.”

Jasmine nodded and said, “Then I’ll walk you both out!”

With that, Jasmine escorted them to the BMW 530, watched as Charlie drove away and then slowly returned to Vintage Deluxe.

On the way back, Charlie’s father-in-law couldn’t help but ask him, “Charlie, where did you learn the skill of restoring cultural relics?”

Charlie couldn’t mention that he had discovered a magical “Apocalyptic Book” inside the broken bottle. After all, the book was extraordinary and there was so much content to process that he needed time to digest it. Besides, this was something he couldn’t share with anyone. So he casually replied, “I learned from a janitor at the orphanage.”

His father-in-law nodded appreciatively, sighing, “Thank goodness! If you hadn’t had this ability, I would have had to face some serious consequences…”

He then quickly warned, “By the way! Don’t mention this to your mother or Claire, alright?”

Charlie nodded, “I understand, Dad.”

The father-in-law felt relieved, rubbing his face in frustration and muttering, “If I had known you had this talent, I wouldn’t have run around like a fool. Not only did I exhaust myself, but I also ended up being slapped a few times. What bad luck!”

He then turned to Charlie, “Can you still see the mark on my face?”

Charlie replied, “It’s still a little red.”

The father-in-law grunted, “If your mother asks about it when we get home, just say I accidentally bumped into an electric pole.”

After returning home, Charlie busied himself by heading to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and prepare dinner.

He called his wife, Claire, asking what she’d like to eat, only to find out that she would be discussing a construction plan with Doris Young that evening, during which Doris would treat her to dinner at the Emgrand Group.

Shortly after, Doris Young texted him, saying, “Young Master, construction for the Young miss is about to commence, so she may be quite busy. Please don’t take it personally.”

Charlie, being reasonable, understood the importance of work, so he replied, “The company should provide good meals, please don’t let her settle for boxed lunches.”

Doris Young quickly assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for the company’s executive restaurant to prepare the finest dinner for the young lady.”

“That sounds excellent.”

Since his wife wouldn’t be home for dinner, Charlie didn’t dwell on it too much. He bought some ingredients and returned home to cook a simple meal for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After dinner, the elderly couple went out to dance at a square.

Charlie was left alone at home, still contemplating the mysterious contents of the “Apocalyptic Book.”

At that moment, he suddenly received a call from Douglas Adams.

Charlie was reluctant to answer the call. He felt that this kid was becoming a bit obsessed. After Charlie had kindly warned him, Douglas had turned hostile, which left Charlie feeling a bit upset.

However, thinking about how pitiable Douglas was, Charlie decided to answer the phone, asking, “What’s the matter?”

On the other end, Douglas sobbed uncontrollably, “Charlie, my good brother, I’m so sorry! I totally misjudged you!”

Hearing him cry so hard made Charlie feel sympathy, prompting him to ask, “Do you know the truth now?”

Douglas continued to cry, “After you told me, the more I thought about it, the more I realized something was off. I tracked her iPhone to a villa in a gated community. When I knocked on the door to catch them in the act, I was beaten up by the man, his driver and the housekeeper and then I was taken to the hospital by an ambulance…”

Douglas broke down further, pleading, “Charlie, I was blind and wronged you. Please don’t stay mad at me. You’re my only true friend! If you turn against me, I’ll be left with nothing in Aurous Hill…”

Charlie sighed, saying, “I don’t blame you. Which hospital are you in now?”

“I’m at the Silverwing Hospital.” Douglas replied. “They broke my leg with a baseball bat. The doctor said I won’t be able to get out of bed for a while. I had the painting you gave me when I attempted to catch the cheaters. Could you help me pawn it to the pawnshop? I’ve spent all my money eating out and now I’m broke and unable to pay for my treatment…”

Upon hearing this, Charlie quickly asked, “Did the people who hurt you not cover your medical expenses?”

“No…” Replied Douglas.

“Did you report them to the police?” Charlie inquired.

Douglas answered “It was useless. The police said I broke into a private residence and that they acted in self-defense…”

“How unreasonable!” Charlie exclaimed in anger. “Just wait, I’ll be there shortly!”
