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…
