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
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!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 68
Seeing that it was Harold calling, Loreen hesitated to answer. She did not hold a favorable opinion of Harold, recognizing that his intentions were purely to get closer to her and gain her attention.
However, lacking any interest in him, she ended the call immediately.
But Harold persisted and after several attempts, Loreen reluctantly answered the phone and asked coldly, “Harold, what do you want?”
Harold quickly replied, “Loreen, I heard you’ve been promoted to sales director!”
Loreen responded in surprise, “How did you find out?”
Harold smiled and explained, “I have a few friends working at Emgrand Group. They mentioned a new appointment had been issued by the company.”
“Yes.” Loreen confirmed. “I was indeed transferred to sales director.”
“Congratulations!” Harold exclaimed excitedly. “This position holds real power there’s so much to do! You’re quite fortunate!”
“Thank you,” Loreen replied coolly.
Harold continued, “Loreen, seeing as you’ve been in Aurous Hill for a while now and considering the unpleasant incident at Heaven Springs, I’d like to invite you to dinner as an apology. It’s a special occasion with your promotion and we should celebrate. What do you say?”
Loreen replied politely, “But I may have to work late tonight…”
Harold insisted, “Loreen, happy occasions deserve timely celebration otherwise, the joy fades away. You don’t have many friends in Aurous Hill. It would be better for us to celebrate quietly, just the two of us. What do you think?”
Loreen felt a flicker of interest.
To be honest, she wanted to celebrate but couldn’t think of anyone else to invite, especially since Claire was unavailable.
With Harold reaching out, it seemed like a viable option.
Although Harold seemed a bit insincere, she figured it was better to celebrate with someone than to be alone.
Considering this, Loreen said, “Alright, please send me the address.”
“Great! I’ve reserved a table at Aurous Hill Hotel. Just mention your name when you arrive,” Harold said.
Loreen nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll be there shortly.”
After leaving the company, Loreen took a taxi to Aurous Hill Hotel.
While it may not rival Heaven Springs, it was still one of the finest hotels in Aurous Hill.
At that moment, Harold, dressed in a suit with slicked-back hair, stood at the entrance, exuding a gentle demeanor as he awaited Loreen.
Unfortunately, the bandage on his hand completely undermined the atmosphere he was trying to create.
Dressed casually in a top and jeans that highlighted her youthful appearance, Loreen drew attention as she stepped out of the car.
Harold, proud of her looks, approached her quickly and said, “Loreen, you look stunning today! Please, come inside; everything is prepared.”
“Thank you,” Loreen replied with a polite smile.
As they sat down, the food arrived promptly.
Harold ordered a bottle of high-end red wine and proclaimed, “Loreen, today is a significant day; you should have some wine to celebrate!”
Loreen quickly responded, “No, let’s skip the wine and have some beverages instead.”
“That can’t be!”
Harold had intended to take advantage of the situation to get her drunk and hopefully seize an opportunity, but Loreen’s immediate refusal disappointed him significantly.
Loreen raised her hand and said, “I’m really not feeling well, Harold. I’d prefer not to drink let’s save it for another time.”
In truth, Loreen suspected Harold’s ulterior motives and had resolved not to drink with him tonight for her own protection.
Seeing he couldn’t change her mind, Harold felt frustrated but masked it, saying, “If you don’t want to drink, then that’s fine. We can stick to soft drinks.”
Loreen nodded, “Thank you for understanding!”
At that moment, a young man, appearing gentle and refined, sat at the table next to them, gazing intently at Loreen.
Once she had entered, he was captivated by her beauty and presence.
To him, she seemed ethereal, almost like a fairy come to life!
After observing for a bit, he noticed that Loreen and Harold didn’t appear to be a couple, so he decided to seize the opportunity.
A little while later, the young man stood up, approached Loreen and Harold’s table, and said to Loreen, “Excuse me, I was captivated by your beauty as soon as you walked in. Would you allow me to have your contact information?”
Loreen was taken aback. She hadn’t expected anyone to approach her while dining here.
Harold was fuming. Who was this idiot who dared to interrupt? Didn’t he see that he was trying to woo her? Did he have a death wish?
Before Loreen could respond, he coldly interjected, “Who are you? Why are you at our table talking nonsense?”
The young man replied casually, “What does it matter to you if I’m speaking with this lady?”
He then turned to Loreen and continued, “I’ve admired you from afar, but I was afraid to interrupt. I sincerely hope you can forgive me for speaking up.”
Harold was furious!
How dare this man try to take a woman from him?
He growled, “Let me warn you, if you know what’s good for you, leave now! If you keep talking or so much as glance in her direction again, I will make you regret it!”
The young man turned to Loreen, asking, “Is this your boyfriend?”
Loreen shook her head.
The young man faced Harold again and said, “Since you aren’t her boyfriend, then my approaching her has nothing to do with you.”
Harold sneered and replied, “I don’t like the way you’re looking at her, so you can’t look at her at all!”
The young man frowned and countered, “You seem to think highly of yourself?”
Harold chuckled derisively and declared, “Kid, I’m from the Wilson family. If you’re smart, you’ll clear out before you get into trouble!”
Loreen felt deep disdain.
For one, she found the young man’s boldness off-putting.
And secondly, she was irritated by Harold’s arrogant attitude.
Then the young man’s face shifted suddenly, eyeing Harold coldly as he said, “What is the Wilson family? Who are you really? I suggest you stop pretending to be impressive otherwise, you’ll find yourself regretting it!”
Anger boiled within Harold.
Who dared to challenge his authority like this?
Having already lost face once by inviting Loreen to dinner, he couldn’t let it happen again. If he failed to deal with this insolence, his chances with her would dwindle.
Determined, he grabbed the wine bottle from the table and shouted, “What are you babbling about? You’re asking for it!”
With that, he swung the bottle at the young man’s head!
With a loud crack, the young man went down, blood streaming from the impact!

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 58
“Of course! Just let me know!”
Uncle Quilt sneered, remarking, “I want to see how you charlatans typically deceive people.”
Charlie shrugged and replied, “I didn’t intend to expose your scam, but you kept pressing me. I couldn’t just turn you down.”
“Scam? Are you implying we’ve all been misled?”
Matthew Gibson, usually composed, suddenly let out a sneer.
Charlie gave him a glance and retorted, “You’re the biggest fool here…”
“Kid, you’re asking for trouble!” Matthew Gibson shouted, furious.
Charlie ignored him and stated, “The jade is genuine. You deceivers should have some conscience. However, this jade is not the blood-thread jade of the Zhou Dynasty, nor has it ever been kept by a high-ranking monk. It’s merely a piece of top-grade yellow jade from Hotan. Its quality is decent and it holds some value, but the market price is only about 500,000 at most.”
“That’s nonsense! Can’t you see the red color of the jade?” Uncle Quilt cursed.
Charlie replied, “The red hue comes from the corrosion of manganese ore containing submanganate. Do you really think it’s been soaked in a monk’s blood?”
“What about the warm sensation we’re experiencing?” Graham asked anxiously, his brow furrowed.
Charlie shook his head. “That has even less technical value. A powder made from the roots of African grass is dissolved in water. If you soak this piece of jade in that water for about six months, it will naturally develop that effect. It’s not a warm sensation at all, but rather a hallucinogenic effect. Removing it is straightforward just burn the jade.”
“Kid! How dare you speak such arrogant words!” The fat man slapped the table, standing up.
Travis Lane’s expression soured. He glared at the fat man, saying, “You’re suggesting we burn the jade for a bit?”
The fat man, drenched in sweat, stammered, “What do you mean by burning it? He’s clearly pretending to be a fraud. Don’t buy into his nonsense!”
Graham tapped his fingers on the table and said, “If we burn it and the effect remains, I will pay for it. But if the effect disappears, you know the consequences… Even though our Quinton family is facing some challenges lately, we can’t allow anyone to trample on our dignity!”
Jasmine nodded in agreement, adding, “If Mr. Wade is mistaken, it won’t matter if we burn it the jade won’t sustain damage. But if he is correct, you must provide us with an explanation today!”
The fat man was now in a panic. None of these three families were ones he could afford to offend.
The setup was meant to deceive Jasmine out of a substantial amount of money, with Uncle Quilt being his accomplice, after which they would split the profits.
To his surprise, Charlie appeared out of nowhere, unraveling the entire scheme in one sentence!
In truth, Charlie had no prior knowledge of jade. His ability to instantly identify the flaws in this jade stemmed solely from the “Apocalyptic Book.”
Remarkably, just upon seeing the jade, all the answers had materialized in his mind. It seemed that identifying antique jade was a skill he possessed thanks to the “Apocalyptic Book.”
As the fat man remained silent, Charlie sneered, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling guilty? Too afraid to speak?”
The fat man’s face drained of color, but he still refused to clarify whether he was willing to take it further.
Charlie, now angered, stated, “Do you think silence will save you? This is Aurous Hill! Everyone here you’ve deceived is wealthy and influential. With a snap of my fingers, I could ensure you have no place to rest in Aurous Hill! I suggest you be sensible and confess the truth, or no one will be able to save you!”
Jasmine recognized Charlie’s psychological tactic and quickly supported him, saying firmly, “Our Moore family also holds significant stature in Aurous Hill. Anyone daring to con the Moore family will face our wrath. If we let this slide, it would tarnish our family’s reputation!”
The fat man was terrified! He understood the immense status of the Moore family if he angered Jasmine, he could very well face dire consequences in Aurous Hill!
In his panic, he desperately cried out to Uncle Quilt, “Quilt, save me! This is more than just my problem!”
Uncle Quilt’s expression shifted dramatically as he bellowed, “What nonsense are you spouting? You deceived our Moore family and are framing me. I’ll take your life!”
With that, he pulled a dagger from his pocket, a cold gleam in his eyes as he lunged at the fat man.
The fat man, red with fury, shouted, “How dare you turn on me! You told me the Moore family’s appraisal should come from your mouth! As long as you said it was okay, it would definitely sell. You’re the one who has put me in this mess!”
Jasmine shot a cold glance at the two before turning to Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, I apologize. Thanks to you today, let’s leave at once. Our family will handle these matters.”
Charlie nodded slightly, replying, “Alright, let’s head back.”
They stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing Jasmine about to exit, Uncle Quilt was alarmed. He immediately disregarded the notion of silencing the fat man and knelt, pleading, “Miss, please spare my life. For all my years of dedication to the Moore family, please let me off this time…”
Before Jasmine could respond, Travis Lane stood up, sneering, “You old fool are truly seeking your end. You plotted to deceive me and your own master, aiming for two or three hundred million. Do you think the Moore family will spare you?”
Uncle Quilt’s face turned ashen as he crumpled to the ground.
Travis Lane added, “Even if the Moore family spares you, I, Travis Lane, will never show you mercy!”
Uncle Quilt erupted into sobs, utterly defeated.
Seeing this, Jasmine shook her head slightly and said to Charlie, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wade. My Moore family made a mistake. You’ve helped expose this.”
Charlie responded calmly, “There are treacherous individuals everywhere, Miss Moore there’s no need to apologize.”
At that moment, Travis Lane from Lancaster, along with Matthew Gibson and Graham from Aurous Hill’s Quinton family, stepped out.
Upon spotting Charlie, Travis Lane approached, clasping his fists in thanks, “Master Wade, I appreciate your help today otherwise, I would have fallen prey to this deceiver!”
Matthew Gibson, feeling some shame, similarly spoke up, “Master Wade truly is a young hero. I couldn’t even see through their trickery with the jade earlier I am embarrassed!”
Graham also bowed, saying, “Mr. Wade, thanks to you, otherwise the three of us would have been quarreling over a fake. We would have incurred significant losses and been the subject of ridicule!”
Charlie smiled lightly and said, “No need for formalities, everyone. I came at Miss Moore’s invitation to authenticate the items, so this was part of my responsibility.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Charlie got into the car with Jasmine.
Behind them, the yard fell silent.
Yet Charlie noticed that once they departed, several men in black suits hurriedly entered. It seemed Uncle Quilt and the fat man were doomed!
