The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 53

Jerome quickly made a phone call, exclaiming loudly, “Zaz, I’m at the Silverwing Hospital right now. Bring a few guys over; I want to take out a kid!”

Charlie didn’t make a call but instead sent a text message directly to Don Albert: “Come to the Silverwing Hospital; someone is trying to kill me.”

Don Albert immediately called back, asking, “Mr. Wade, which foolish person are you dealing with?”

Charlie responded calmly, “Enough of the chatter, just get here.”

Don Albert replied promptly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I’m on my way!”

Seeing Charlie on the phone, Jerome scoffed, “What? You can call someone too?”

Charlie retorted with a smirk, “I told you, I’ll make sure you suffer a miserable fate!”

Jerome laughed as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke, sneering, “Who do you think you are? No one in Aurous Hill has the power to bring about my doom!”

Douglas struggled to sit up in bed, urgently warning, “Charlie, you need to leave right now! Don’t get involved with this guy; he’s not someone you want to mess with.”

Charlie walked over, pushed him back down on the bed, and replied calmly, “Just stay down.”

Douglas said, visibly anxious, “You have no idea where Jerome comes from. His family has significant influence in Aurous Hill…”

Charlie casually peeled an orange, shoved a piece into his mouth, and stated, “The person I can’t afford to cross hasn’t been born yet!”

Then he added, “Oh right, you too!”

Lily Lewis’s expression soured immediately, “Fine, if you’re looking for trouble, then just wait!”

Charlie turned to Douglas, asking, “Does Lily Lewis’s father, Lawson Lewis, know that you’ve been attacked?”

“Yes,” Douglas confirmed. “I called him earlier.”

Charlie nodded and followed up, “What did he say?”

Douglas, now furious, replied, “He said he couldn’t interfere in our business as young people! Basically, he’s telling me not to reach out to him!”

Charlie pressed further, “Did you ask him about the $100,000 you invested in the hotel?”

“Yes!” Douglas said, his annoyance boiling over. “This old fool claimed that my $100,000 wasn’t an investment in the hotel, but a gift meant for him as a potential son-in-law, insisting that I have no right to demand it back! He won’t give it back to me!”

“How absurd!” Charlie scoffed, “No wonder he has such a terrible daughter. Turns out he’s nothing but a scoundrel!”

“Charlie, what did you just say?” Lily Lewis yelled, fuming. “You dare insult my father? You must be out of your mind!”

In a frantic rush, she shook Jerome’s arm and pleaded, “Jerome, he actually dared to disrespect my dad! You have to do something!”

Jerome, a slick playboy of average height who was also significantly shorter than Charlie, understood that confronting Charlie would be futile. Charlie had exceptional fitness from doing household chores and conditioning himself with regular exercise. Plus, he practiced Wing Chun since childhood, which helped him navigate challenges in the orphanage.

In a real fight, one Jerome would stand no chance against Charlie, let alone five of him.

Jerome knew that if he tried to act now, he’d likely end up on the receiving end of a beating. So, he comforted Lily Lewis, saying, “Don’t worry, babe. Brother Zaz will be here soon and I’ll take care of him then!”

Charlie took the opportunity to send a text to Isaac Cameron at Shangri-La “Who is Jerome from Aurous Hill?”

Isaac Cameron responded promptly, “He comes from a business family involved in jade and pawn auctions, but their power isn’t anything special. Has he crossed you?”

“Yes.” Charlie replied “I’ve asked Don Albert to head over. Also, I need you to do something for me.”

Isaac Cameron quickly replied, “Young Master, what do you need?”

Charlie instructed, “Bring Jerome’s father and an old man in Aurous Hill known for cultural relic appraisal named Lawson Lewis to the Silverwing Hospital.”

Isaac Cameron replied instantly, “Understood, Young Master. I will personally make sure they see you!”

Charlie said, “You don’t need to show your face, just send someone. I don’t want anyone knowing about our connection.”

“Got it, Young Master! Should I have someone teach those two old men a lesson?”

Charlie ordered, “Grab them, rough them up, tie them and send them my way.”

“Understood, Young Master! I’ll carry out your orders right away!”

Putting his phone away, Charlie looked at Jerome and Lily Lewis coldly, stating, “They say a father is responsible for the failure of his son and same with daughter. I’ll bring your father’s here later to personally explain how they raised you two losers!”

Jerome’s expression darkened as he warned, “Kid, I advise you to back off. When my people get here, you might really end up dead!”

Charlie chuckled derisively, “I hope they arrive soon I’m eager to meet them.”

Just as Jerome was about to hurl another insult at Charlie, the door to the ward kicked open and a beefy man burst in with seven or eight followers.

Seeing him, Jerome pointed at Charlie, shouting, “Zaz, that’s the guy! Help me take care of him!”

The Zaz frowned, looking coldly at Charlie. “You’re the one causing my brother trouble?”

Charlie calmly smiled and nodded, “What’s it to you? Are you here to defend him?”

Zaz studied him with suspicion, wondering why this kid seemed so unfazed. He asked, “What’s your background, kid?”

Charlie replied nonchalantly, “I’m just from my family.”

Jerome quickly interjected, “Zaz, this guy is a live-in son-in-law, a gigolo.”

He then leaned in to whisper, “Zaz, he’s got no connections, you can beat him without worry. I’ll handle the aftermath.”

“A gigolo?” Zaz grinned wickedly, “Alright, let’s see how he survives being a gigolo!”

Without waiting for Charlie’s response, he signaled to his crew, “Get him! Deal with him!”

Jerome jeered at Charlie, “Mr. Wade, any final words?”

Charlie ignored him entirely, focusing on Zaz and calmly declared, “Kneel down and I’ll spare your life.”

Zaz froze, then picked at his ears, frowning. “What did you just say? Repeat that and I guarantee you won’t see tomorrow!”

Just then, a voice thundered from outside, “Zaz, Mr. Wade told you to kneel down! Are you deaf or something?”

Zaz’s expression turned serious Don Albert had arrived!
