The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 26

Elaine was paralyzed with fear, she screamed and shut her eyes, bracing herself for a slap. Surprisingly, the anticipated blow never came.

When she opened her eyes, she was both shocked and bewildered!

Her seemingly useless son-in-law, Charlie, had stepped in at that exact moment to block the impending slap!

Her mind momentarily short-circuited how could Charlie, whom she considered worthless, display such bravery?

Don Albert didn’t expect anyone to dare defend this insufferable old woman at such a critical moment. He glared and asked coldly, “Who are you? Do you want to die too?”

Charlie wore a calm smile as he responded, “You must be Don Albert, right? I suggest you restrain yourself, you can take it out on the dead dog by your side, but not on my mother-in-law!”

With a grim expression, Don Albert shot back, “This old woman is your mother-in-law? What about you? Do you think you’re important enough for me to spare you?”

As he spoke, Don Albert’s fury intensified. He was used to the respect of countless people in Aurous Hill, yet today he faced disrespect repeatedly.

First, there was Kevin, who had the audacity to shout at him, followed by an annoying old woman whining in his presence.

Now, an audacious young man was standing up to him. Did he really believe he could defy Don Albert without consequences?

Seething with anger, Don Albert shouted to those around him, “Get rid of this ignorant fool!”

In response, Charlie simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll make a quick call and have someone speak with you.”

He then took out his phone and called Isaac Cameron, the manager of Shangri-La.

Once the call connected, Isaac answered respectfully, “Young Master, how can I assist you?”

Charlie calmly inquired, “Do you know a man named Don Albert in Aurous Hill?”

Isaac replied hastily, “Of course, Young Master. I know the Don Albert you’re referring to. People outside say he’s the underground king of Aurous Hill, but he’s just a low-level thug! This guy knows I’m affiliated with the Wade family and has tried several times to court my favor by asking me to dine with him, but I’ve ignored him completely. Why? Young Master, do you know him?”

Charlie remarked casually, “Oh, this thug is threatening me right now.”

Isaac’s reaction was immediate and intense. “What? Does Don Albert really want to die? How dare he provoke you, Young Master! Where are you? I’ll bring my men to deal with this scoundrel immediately!”

Charlie replied, “I will hand over the phone, let him talk to you.”

He then passed the phone to Don Albert and said, “Here, take this call.”

Don Albert was taken aback.

What was going on? This guy didn’t seem like he was putting on an act. Did he truly have a significant background?

He certainly didn’t look the part. His attire was so ordinary that it probably didn’t total more than five hundred dollars. Even his phone was a few hundred dollars. What clout could he possibly have to summon powerful allies?

Despite his disdain, Don Albert instinctively picked up the phone and cautiously said, “Hello, this is Don Albert. Who are you? Are you here to support this kid?”

On the other end, Isaac erupted, “Don Albert! Are you out of your mind? You dare to provoke our Young Master? Trust me, I’ll wipe out all 25 members of your family tonight!”

Realizing who was on the line, Don Albert paled, recognizing Isaac Cameron, the very person he had been trying to impress.

Had he just offended his Young Master? Could it be that this kid standing in front of him was that very Young Master?

Additionally, he mentioned 25 family members. How could he possibly know all of that?

He was the liaison for the Wade family in Aurous Hill! The Wade family possessed immense power and if they wanted him dead, it would be as easy as squashing an ant!

Panic gripped him and he begged, “Boss Cameron, please calm down. There’s been a misunderstanding. Your Young Master and I-”

“Silence!” Isaac snapped. “Our Young Master’s identity is highly confidential. If you dare to leak it, I’ll wipe out your entire family!”

Don Albert trembled violently, more than someone suffering from Parkinson’s, and urgently pleaded, “Boss Cameron, I’m truly at fault! I’ll handle this situation properly…”

Simply being addressed as “Boss Cameron” was already an honor he’d have to bend over backward to earn and the Wade family was an entity he couldn’t even fathom reaching. He would have to look up to them for the rest of his life…

Now, having unknowingly insulted the Young Master of the Wade family, he felt a wave of dread.

Don Albert’s gaze locked onto Charlie and instinctively, he softened his legs and knelt before him, saying with fear, “Mr. Wade, I apologize. I had no idea she was your mother-in-law. I was mistaken. Please forgive me!”

Then, trembling, he knelt before Charlie.

Everyone present was stunned. They were witnessing Don Albert kneeling to apologize to Charlie, a man they believed to be a failure?

Even Mr. White had to bow down to Don Albert, but this young man had made him kneel. Who exactly was he?

Don Albert’s subordinates were equally astonished!

Don Albert was the underground king of Aurous Hill! What kind of young man could put him in such a position?

Charlie had no desire to take Don Albert’s life after all, his men had assaulted his mother-in-law, not him.

Moreover, he had to admit that watching his mother-in-law getting slapped around was quite satisfying!

So he told Don Albert, “I can let you off this time, but you must return the money you swindled from my mother-in-law plus interest!”

Don Albert felt as if he had just received a reprieve. He hadn’t expected Master Wade to show him mercy. He quickly bowed, exclaiming, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it right away!”

He then turned sharply to Axel beside him, barking, “Get on it! If you take too long, I’ll break your legs!”

Elaine stood there completely dumbfounded. Could this really be her ineffective son-in-law? Even the notorious Don Albert was now kneeling before him?

Instantly, Elaine felt Charlie’s stature rise to an epic level in her eyes, becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Kevin, who had been the subject of humiliation, was equally stunned. Wasn’t Charlie supposed to be a well-known loser? Why was even Don Albert fearful of him?

At that moment, Axel approached with a black suitcase, his face pale. He reached Elaine and said nervously, “Auntie, your principal is 1.3 million and the dividends we promised are 200,000, so that’s a total of 1.5 million. Here’s 2 million and the extra 500,000 is our small apology. Please accept it…”

Elaine was entirely speechless! When had her useless son-in-law become so capable?

The principal was returned, the promised 200,000 dividends were honored and they even included an extra 500,000?
