The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 46
Through the hazy frosted crystal glass, Aurous Hill witnessed a grand wedding unlike any other.
While countless onlookers were consumed with envy, they couldn’t help but wonder who were the couple getting married in the sky garden?
These two were incredibly enigmatic. Their wedding was an intimate affair, attended solely by the couple themselves, with no relatives or friends, not even a witness!
On the crystal stage, Charlie took Claire’s hand and produced the jade necklace he had prepared in advance.
“Claire, this is my anniversary gift for you. I hope you like it!”
Claire gazed at the translucent jade necklace in astonishment. “This… This can’t be the treasure from Emerald Court, right? Charlie, where did you get it?”
As she spoke, Claire felt a surge of disbelief. Could it be that Charlie was the legendary wealthy figure featured in that video? Otherwise, how could he possess such a jade necklace?
But…
This defied logic!
I know who Charlie is, how could he possibly be a wealthy tycoon? He’s completely unrelated to the idea of wealth!
Noticing Claire’s shock, Charlie felt compelled to reveal his true identity, to tell her that he was a descendant of the Wade family from Eastcliff and heir to a vast fortune.
But then, he remembered something serious. I don’t know the current situation of the Wade family!
As far back as I can recall, I saw uncles when I was a child, which means there are more than just my father in the previous generation of the Wade family.
If there are others, then those uncles likely have children too, and they would undoubtedly see me as a rival to their interests.
If I recklessly disclose my identity without having first assessed the situation or secured my ability to protect myself and Claire, it could spell disaster for her!
The methods the wealthy use to fight for their inheritance are ruthless, and I absolutely don’t want my beloved wife to face risks because of me.
With this in mind, he lied, “This necklace looks just like the treasure from Emerald Court, but I had someone replicate it. Though it uses quality jade, it doesn’t compare to the original from Emerald Court. It only cost a few tens of thousands of dollars.”
He then asked Claire anxiously, “You don’t dislike it, right?”
Claire exhaled a sigh of relief. This explanation was much more believable! She smiled hurriedly, saying, “Silly, how could I possibly dislike it? You’ve done so much for me, I’m truly touched!”
Charlie also felt relieved as he carefully placed the jade necklace around Claire’s neck.
With genuine sincerity, he said, “Claire, you’ve endured a lot in the three years since we married. But from this day forward, I promise you that no one will ever bully you again!”
Claire nodded, her emotions swelling. In that moment, she realized that her husband could finally hold his head high and live a dignified life!
Following the wedding, Charlie and Claire quietly departed from the exclusive elevator of the Sky Garden.
The onlookers outside were left in stunned silence. The hero and heroine have left already? They just came and stirred up a wave of excitement, then vanished?
Suddenly, the city was abuzz with discussions about this unprecedented extravagant wedding.
Yet, no one knew the identities of the couple who had just tied the knot.
Charlie drove the modified BMW 520, originally a BMW 760, taking his wife Claire back home.
During the ride, Claire remained lost in a bubble of happiness, unable to shake her delight. She couldn’t resist asking Charlie, “How did you manage to book the Sky Garden? It seems like it has never been available for private reservations, right?”
Charlie smiled slightly in response and explained, “To be honest, a senior executive at Shangri-La is an old friend from the orphanage. We shared tough times together and used to split a steamed bun. So when I asked for his help, he was more than willing.”
Claire nodded in understanding, “Ah, I see! Why hadn’t you mentioned this before?”
Charlie replied, “There are so many friends from the orphanage, I could talk about it for days. I didn’t think you’d be interested in hearing all that, so I never brought it up.”
Claire stated earnestly, “You are my husband, so of course I’m interested in your past and want to know everything.”
Charlie smiled warmly, “Then I promise to share more with you in the future!”
“Okay!” Replied Claire.
Once back at their community, Charlie parked the car downstairs.
Just as he and Claire exited the vehicle, they encountered her parents returning home.
Upon seeing them, Claire’s mother immediately exclaimed, “Claire, where did this BMW sedan come from?”
Claire’s father’s eyes lit up at the sight of the car!
“Wow! A BMW! Claire, did you buy it? This is a big deal!”
Claire quickly clarified, “Dad, Mom. I didn’t buy the car, Charlie did.”
“Charlie?” Her father frowned, asking, “Charlie, where did you get the money for this car? Did you use Claire’s money?”
Charlie quickly replied, “No, Dad, this was all purchased with my personal funds…”
Claire’s mother, walking around the car, scoffed, “Hmph! Living off us every day, saving up to buy a BMW, and yet you don’t show any appreciation. What an ungrateful person!”
Claire interjected, “Mom, please don’t say that about Charlie…”
Her father remarked enviously, “Hmph! A BMW 520? With Charlie’s means, is he even worth such a good car? Wouldn’t a BMW 3 Series suffice to show off?”
Her mother added coldly, “Just so you know, your father doesn’t even own a car! Half of him is practically laid to rest! If you don’t let him enjoy this, I’m afraid he won’t get a chance later!”
With that, Claire’s mother said with a touch of arrogance, “How about this let your father drive this car and think of it as your way of honoring him!”
Claire looked at Charlie, asking tentatively, “Charlie, do you think that’s okay?”
Charlie thought to himself, it’s fine, but this isn’t even a BMW 520, it’s a 760!
To be frank, her father is a henpecked man with no authority in the household. This 760 is too extravagant for him…
Considering this, he quickly noted, “Oh, Dad, this is actually a BMW 520, the lowest model in the 5 Series, often called the beggar version. If you drive this car, people will laugh at you.”
Her mother frowned, “What? Are you unwilling to give it to me?”
Charlie waved his hands hastily, “No, no, no, how could I possibly be unwilling? I just don’t want you driving the beggar version! If not, I’ll buy you a 530 instead. The 530 is a higher model than the 520 and would give you more prestige on the road!”
Her mother squinted, asking, “Do you still have money left to buy a 530?”
Charlie replied, “I only made a down payment on this car, but I still have some funds available. Don’t worry, I’ll go buy you a car first thing tomorrow morning!”
