The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 37
When Clinton Tucker heard this, he could no longer contain his excitement.
His car was a BMW 540, while Charlie’s was a BMW 520. Even if he pushed the limits, victory seemed impossible.
He actually had the audacity to wager such a large amount with him!
If 30,000 firecrackers were placed in the car and ignited, it would spell disaster for that vehicle. The interior, seats and control panel would likely be obliterated.
Since Charlie was inviting danger, it provided an excellent opportunity for humiliation!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Clinton Tucker nodded and declared, “Everyone, bear witness! I’m racing Charlie to see who can drive faster. The loser will have to put this platter of firecrackers in their car and set them off!”
He continued, “Anyone who backs out or cheats will face dire consequences!”
Several male classmates nearby erupted into chatter. Upon hearing the commotion, students from upstairs rushed out, gathering around in groups of twenty to thirty in eager anticipation of the spectacle.
Everyone believed Charlie was foolish. How could he challenge a 540 with a 520? This was a long, straight road—driving speed had little to do with skill and everything to do with performance.
A 520, no matter how expertly driven, couldn’t possibly outperform a 540!
It seemed that Charlie’s brand-new BMW 520 was destined to be written off!
Claire was also trying to convince Charlie, saying, “Charlie, don’t let him provoke you. He’s doing this on purpose, we shouldn’t compete with him.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, dear. Your husband is not going to lose.”
Clinton Tucker laughed, “Oh, Charlie, let’s set aside everything else, I admire your courage! Hahaha! Now, let’s skip the small talk and drive to compete directly!”
“Alright,” Charlie said, nodding. “How should we race?”
Clinton Tucker pointed to the intersection at the end of the road and proposed, “We’ll start at the same time. The one who reaches the intersection first and then returns wins. What do you say?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Sounds good to me!”
“Great!” Clinton Tucker exclaimed excitedly. “Everyone, be a witness, we’re starting the competition right away!”
With that, he hopped into his BMW 540 and headed for the main road.
Ignoring Claire’s protests, Charlie drove his car up beside Clinton Tucker, aligning the fronts of the two vehicles.
At that moment, a nosy student chimed in, “I’ll count down for you!”
“Okay!” Clinton Tucker replied with a grin. “Start when you’re ready!”
Charlie nodded and switched his BMW 760 into sports mode.
The BMW 760 featured a 6.6-liter engine with 585 horsepower.
In contrast, Clinton Tucker’s BMW 540 had a 3.0-liter engine with 340 horsepower.
With half the engine size and 245 horsepower less, the performance gap was colossal!
However, Clinton Tucker had no clue that Charlie’s 520 was actually a top-tier 760, he believed victory was already in his grasp.
The student in charge of the countdown shouted, “Ready! 3, 2, 1!”
As soon as the count finished, Clinton Tucker slammed the accelerator to the floor!
He was confident that Charlie would lose, but he wanted the defeat to be particularly humiliating, so he aimed to drive as fast as possible!
But he was caught off guard when a dark figure zipped past on his right side, quickly leaving him in the dust!
It was Charlie’s BMW 520!
Clinton Tucker could hardly believe his eyes! What the heck! How could this be happening! It was utterly impossible!
His BMW 520 had only 184 horsepower, while his own car boasted 340 horsepower, nearly double! How could Charlie overtake him so effortlessly!?
The onlookers were equally stunned!
No one anticipated that Charlie the one everyone expected to lose would rocket past Clinton Tucker like a bullet, leaving him far behind!
Before Clinton Tucker even made it halfway, Charlie had already turned around at the intersection!
When Clinton Tucker finally attempted to turn around, Charlie was already back at the starting point!
Charlie had won! And he achieved victory by a landslide!
As Clinton Tucker turned, he found Charlie celebrating with Claire at the finish line and he felt his world collapsing.
What on earth was happening!
What in the world was going on!
When did the BMW 520 start outperforming the BMW 540?
No! This guy must have modified his car!
Unbelievable! You tricked me with a modified car? How could you!
Grinding his teeth, he drove back to the crowd, where Charlie was already basking in applause and reveling in his victory.
All the classmates around were baffled. They still couldn’t fathom why Charlie’s 520 was so incredibly fast!
Clinton Tucker parked the car, stormed out and shouted angrily, “You’ve got to be kidding me, Charlie! You drove a modified car to cheat me, right? This race doesn’t count! The power of that modified car far exceeds mine, how can we fairly compare?”
Charlie replied with a sneer, “Hey, Clinton Tucker, you just claimed that power doesn’t matter, what counts are skill and courage. Yet now that you’ve lost, you’re trying to create excuses?”
“I didn’t!” Clinton Tucker retorted, panic briefly flashing across his face. “You’re the one who cheated, not me!”
Loreen scoffed, “Clinton Tucker, you’re dishonest, that’s really pathetic! Don’t forget the toxic oath you just swore whoever refuses to accept defeat should face grave consequences!”
“Exactly!” Many classmates who had initially come to see Charlie fail were now disgruntled with Clinton Tucker. It became clear he couldn’t handle losing. Despite being older, he wasn’t brave enough to uphold the agreement he initiated.
One person said, “Clinton Tucker, stop being boring. We all witnessed it. You wanted to race Charlie, saying that motivation wasn’t important. Now that you’ve lost, you’re trying to escape a bet. Isn’t it obvious you’d rather run away than accept defeat?”
“Yeah!” A girl chimed in. “Clinton Tucker, we all thought you were a man of your word, but now it turns out you’re just a coward who breaks promises!”
Another added, “Now I see the real Clinton Tucker. He’s double standards incarnate! If Charlie lost, he would have never given Charlie a pass! Now that he’s lost, he’s resorting to being a sore loser. What a joke!”
Clinton Tucker’s face turned pale. Truth be told, he had recently purchased this car for over $700,000 and he had no intention of burning it, especially not over a bet!
This was his prized possession! He wouldn’t allow so much as a minor scratch or speck of dust on it; how could he even consider throwing firecrackers in and lighting them?
However, with so many classmates watching, it was clear he had lost their support. If he continued to act like a sore loser, his classmates would likely shun him in the future.
People would start saying he played dirty after losing, that he would rather risk his whole family’s well-being than honor his bet.
With those thoughts swirling in his mind, he felt his resolve crumbling. If he didn’t set the firecrackers off, his reputation would be destroyed!
Just then, Charlie spoke up, “Clinton Tucker, we’re all classmates. We shouldn’t take this too seriously just because we were joking around. Your car is quite valuable, and if you can’t bear to damage it, then don’t.”
Clinton Tucker breathed a quick sigh of relief.
But the students nearby began to murmur, “Wow! Charlie is really generous, look at Clinton Tucker, how embarrassing!”
“Exactly! Charlie noticed he couldn’t handle losing, so he gave him a way out!”
Clinton Tucker’s pride flared up he roared, “Who said I can’t afford to lose? Where are those firecrackers? Hand them over! If I can afford the gamble, I can certainly afford the stake!”
At that moment, a victorious smile crept onto Charlie’s face…

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 30
Loreen was taken aback. She didn’t expect Harold to have such connections in Aurous Hill. Compared to Charlie, he had a lot more influence.
It seems that if I can get closer to him in Aurous Hill, it will make my daily life much easier.
The man in black guided everyone respectfully to the door of the diamond box.
He then retrieved the list and handed it directly to Charlie, saying softly, “Sir, please sign here.”
This diamond box was reserved for Charlie, so he needed to sign to confirm his presence.
Charlie took the paper and pen with a smile and was about to write his name when Harold’s voice suddenly interrupted.
“Put the pen down immediately!”
Harold approached with a dark expression, snatched the paper and pen from Charlie’s hand, signed his name quickly, and scolded Charlie, “What a joke! Don’t you know who booked the box? You’re not qualified to sign it!”
The man in black was taken aback. He glanced at Charlie, silently asking if he should step in and teach this disrespectful idiot a lesson.
Charlie replied calmly, “It’s fine. If he wants to sign, let him.”
In front of Loreen, Charlie didn’t want to escalate the situation. After all, she was his wife’s close friend.
Soon, everyone settled in the box.
Harold arranged for Loreen to sit in the main seat while Charlie found himself at a corner, with only Loreen occasionally engaging him in conversation.
Before long, a feast of exquisite dishes and fine wines was brought in by the waiter.
The meals were prepared from the finest ingredients, with premium abalone and ten kilograms of Australian lobster served as mere accompaniments.
Even the wine was a century-old national treasure, with a half-kilogram bottle costing over 100,000.
Loreen, well-acquainted with luxury, was also taken aback by the opulence of the meal.
Gerald White exclaimed, “Harold, how much did this meal cost?”
Harold replied proudly, “This meal is worth 300,000 dollars.”
Gerald White responded in surprise, “This isn’t just 300,000 dollars. These bottles of wine alone must exceed 300,000!”
Harold’s confidence wavered as he recalled the black-clothed man’s earlier attitude—could it be that Don Albert had granted him special treatment?
But he hardly knew him!
Loreen’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she regarded Harold with newfound admiration and said, “Harold, thank you!”
Harold smiled and responded, “No, no, this is just what we should do.”
Turning to Charlie, he grinned and said, “Charlie, surely you’ve never had food this good, right?”
Charlie smirked and replied, “What gives you that idea?”
Harold retorted contemptuously, “You’ve had my food, yet you still act tough! If you’d had the chance to enjoy such quality before, I would have personally taken the risk of letting you kick my head around like a soccer ball!”
Charlie smiled indifferently. The luxurious life he led as a child was well beyond what most could imagine. To him, this meal was merely typical fare from the Wade family.
Seeing Charlie’s stubbornness, Wendy snapped, “Charlie, what’s with your attitude toward my brother? Do you want me to throw you out right now? I invited you for a complimentary meal, and still, you have the audacity to act shamelessly! You’re such a loser!”
However, just then, the door to the box was kicked open, and a fierce voice shouted, “Who let you idiots in here? What do you think you’re doing in this box?”
Moments later, a man dressed in a flashy suit with a thick gold chain appeared, brandishing a stick and displaying a menacing scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin.
He held a list in one hand and a stick in the other, his expression fierce!
Following him was a group of over a dozen burly men covered in tattoos and scars, encircling everyone.
Everyone froze in shock and panic. What was happening?
The leader, known as Bill The Bear, was a right-hand man to Don Albert. Having fought alongside him in the past, he was well-respected throughout Aurous Hill.
Don Albert had sent him to ensure everything was perfect for Mr. Wade, who wished to use the diamond box at Heaven Springs.
However, upon checking the box’s reservation, Bill The Bear discovered it had been signed out by a scoundrel named Harold, igniting both anger and concern within him.
He was furious that Harold had occupied the box meant for important guests and worried that there wouldn’t be enough space left for the true prestigious clients.
Harold stood up and confronted him, “What’s going on? I reserved this box—why are you barging in here and causing a scene?”
Bill The Bear pointed at Harold and demanded, “Are you Harold Wilson?”
Harold nodded, puffing out his chest in pride, “Yes, that’s me!”
Bill The Bear replied coldly, “Bring him over here!”
Without hesitation, two muscular men grabbed Harold and dragged him forward.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
“What nonsense are you speaking!”
One of the men kicked Harold in the knee, causing him to yelp in pain and kneel before Bill The Bear.
Bill The Bear’s cold gaze scanned Harold, making him feel as if he was under a scrutinizing blade.
With a swift motion, he tossed the signature sheet directly onto Harold’s head.
“Who gave you permission to use this box?” Bill The Bear scolded.
Harold feigned calmness, saying, “This is a misunderstanding! I reserved this golden box in advance and paid the 300,000 deposit!”
Gerald White chimed in, “What is the meaning of all this? This box was booked by Harold; don’t you have any rules?”
Bill The Bear spat, struck Harold hard, and retorted, “Golden box? This is a diamond box set aside for distinguished guests! You think you lowlifes are qualified to use it?!”
Everyone gasped at his words.
A diamond box? No wonder this place was so extravagant—the food and wine are all top-notch; it turns out, it wasn’t a golden box at all!
Gerald White began to sweat nervously. The diamond box was so exclusive that he and his peers weren’t fit to even step inside, let alone dine here.
Wendy quickly added, “Brother, don’t you know Don Albert? You need to explain this to them.”
Harold, feeling overwhelmed, quickly interjected, “Shut up; don’t say things you don’t mean. How could I possibly know Don Albert with my background?”
Wendy responded, “But didn’t you just—”
Loreen noticed the brother and sister’s antics and realized Harold had been boasting about connections he didn’t actually possess.
She felt a twinge of disappointment.
Bill The Bear sneered, “You dare invoke Don Albert’s name? You must truly be trying to throw your life away!”
With that, Bill The Bear rose and commanded his men, “Grab this fool; I’m about to teach him a lesson.”
Harold was quickly restrained and rendered immobile!
The very next moment,
Bill The Bear swung down the stick without hesitation!
“Ah… my hand, it’s broken!”
Harold screamed in agony, his body drenched in cold sweat, humiliated to the point of fainting.
Witnessing this, Gerald and Wendy turned pale with fear.
Harold, who had been so boastful just moments ago, was instantly reduced to a pitiful state. Who wouldn’t be terrified?
Loreen trembled in fright, hiding behind Charlie and asking worriedly, “What should we do? They won’t kill anyone, right?”
Charlie reassuringly patted Loreen’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here, no one will harm you.”
Loreen looked at Charlie with gratitude. She understood he might not be able to resolve such trouble, but his words gave her a semblance of comfort.
At that moment, Bill The Bear kicked Harold, who lay there like a lifeless rag, berating him, “What a coward!”
Then he turned his attention back to Gerald White.
“And you, you were the one claiming I had no rules, correct? Step forward, you!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 12
Knowing that Charlie was joking, Claire wasn’t bothered. She stepped aside and called Doris Young.
Soon, the call connected.
Doris Young’s cheerful voice came through, “Hello, Ms. Wilson.”
“Hello, Vice President Young. I have something to discuss and would like your help,” Claire said a bit sheepishly.
“Of course, please go ahead,” Doris Young replied.
Claire gathered her thoughts, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to say, “I’d like to know if the chairman is available tomorrow night. We’re planning to hold a banquet at home to officially announce our cooperation with Emgrand. I hope the chairman can assist me with this…”
Doris Young was silent for a moment before responding, “Ms. Wilson, I can’t make a decision on this matter. However, I can ask the chairman for his opinion if you’d like.”
Claire replied respectfully, “Thank you, I appreciate your help.”
After hanging up the phone, Claire anxiously held her device, waiting for a response.
At that moment, Charlie’s phone suddenly rang.
Charlie was taken aback, cursing himself internally for forgetting to silence his phone. It must be Doris Young calling to ask for his opinion…
He feigned calmness and answered the call, “Hmm?”
Doris Young’s voice came through, “Chairman, the Wilson family is planning a banquet tomorrow night. I wanted to know if you would like to attend?”
Charlie responded, “Oh, yes, I will… Okay, that’s all…”
Once the call ended, Charlie quickly hung up and muttered, “These salespeople can really be a nuisance…”
Claire suspected nothing and moments later, her phone rang again.
Doris Young’s voice chimed in once more, “Ms. Wilson, our chairman has agreed to attend and will head straight to the banquet!”
“Really? That’s fantastic! Thank you for your assistance, and please extend my gratitude to the chairman,” Claire exclaimed, suddenly brimming with excitement. She hadn’t expected such a prompt agreement.
Claire hurriedly turned to Lady Wilson, “Grandma! The chairman of Emgrand Group has accepted our invitation!”
“Really?!” Lady Wilson was immediately thrilled!
She then directed the Wilson family members present, “Quickly, prepare everything! Book the best hotel, arrange the finest food and drinks, and get ready to warmly welcome the chairman of Emgrand!”
“Additionally, notify all the major businesses in the city and invite them to our banquet! Let them know that the chairman from Emgrand will grace us with his presence!”
With that, the entire Wilson family sprang into action!
Everyone was tremendously excited, reaching out to various partners and elite individuals across Aurous Hill City.
This was undoubtedly a groundbreaking announcement!
Before long, news spread throughout Aurous Hill!
The enigmatic new chairman of Emgrand Group would attend the Wilson family’s banquet the following night!
Lady Wilson received countless inquiries and greeted each one with a smile.
Today was a joyful day for her because as soon as tomorrow’s banquet concluded, the Wilson family would undoubtedly become the most talked-about family in Aurous Hill!
With this thought, she beamed with excitement and declared, “Alright, we’ve covered everything for today. Let’s focus on preparing for tomorrow’s banquet. Meeting adjourned!”
After the meeting, Lady Wilson returned to her office.
Harold’s gaze shifted, and he closely followed her.
“Grandma, are you truly planning to give the director position to Claire?”
Once they were out of earshot, Harold couldn’t help but speak up.
Lady Wilson frowned, replying coldly, “I’ve already promised Claire; why shouldn’t I give it to her?”
Harold persisted, “Grandma, she shouldn’t be the director!”
Lady Wilson retorted, “Why not? She won such an important contract; she’s a hero for the company, and she deserves recognition.”
Harold quickly countered, “The reason Claire secured the Emgrand contract is that Wendell Jones from the Jones family helped her behind the scenes. I heard he visited her house yesterday! Emgrand Group officially signed with us today. It can’t be mere coincidence! I think she probably slept with Wendell Jones!”
Lady Wilson exclaimed angrily, “Is what you’re saying true?”
Harold asserted confidently, “Of course it is. Wendell Jones did visit Claire last night. Verify it, and you’ll see.”
Then, Harold said to Lady Wilson, “Grandma, Claire is a married woman. If rumors spread about her and Wendell Jones, and people find out our Wilson family landed the Emgrand contract through these means, what will that mean for our family’s reputation? What about your reputation?”
Lady Wilson frowned, already inclined to believe Harold’s claim.
She knew Wendell Jones harbored feelings for Claire.
At her birthday celebration, Wendell Jones had gifted her a jade Buddha amulet worth three or four million.
This also seemed to clarify how Claire managed to secure a contract worth 60 million.
At this moment, Harold added, “If we allow such an unscrupulous woman to become the director, our reputation will suffer even more. We must choose a different director and shift the credit for the project to someone else, preferably a man, to minimize the rumors!”
Lady Wilson nodded slightly.
She believed about 80% of what Harold suggested.
From this perspective, she indeed had to consider selecting another director to quash the potential gossip.
If everyone discovered that Claire obtained the contract due to her ties with Wendell Jones, she could still assert to the public that the project was successful thanks to the new director, not because of Claire’s personal relationships.
Moreover, Lady Wilson had a personal motive as well.
She harbored a dislike for Claire! Additionally, she had always favored boys over girls and didn’t want Claire’s status and influence within the Wilson family to grow.
She needed to contain her to ensure the family’s assets weren’t compromised by outsiders.
Having made this decision, she looked at Harold and said coldly, “Harold, in the company, you must adhere to my directions. Follow my orders without question, and don’t engage in anything I haven’t approved. Do you understand?”
Harold immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, “Grandma, rest assured that I will do everything you ask in the future!”
“Good.” Lady Wilson nodded with satisfaction, “At tomorrow’s banquet, I will introduce you as the new director responsible for our collaboration with Emgrand Group. But you must remember to be compliant. I can promote you, but I can just as easily diminish you!”
Harold beamed with eagerness and quickly replied, “Grandma, you don’t need to worry! I will definitely be obedient!”

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?

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 59
In the car, Jasmine maintained a consistently cold demeanor.
The betrayal of a family member had already stirred her anger, but what infuriated her even more was that Uncle Chi had the audacity to try and trap her in front of so many outsiders.
If she were to fall for the scheme today, pay the money, and have Uncle Quilt abscond, discovering later that she had been deceived would not only be embarrassing for her but would also bring shame to the entire Moore family!
Fortunately, Charlie was there to unveil the truth just in time, helping her avoid loss for both herself and her family.
In response, she pulled a bank card from the glove compartment, handed it to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, this card has one million dollars on it and the password is six 8s. Consider it a small token of appreciation, please accept it.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret. Charlie seemed incredibly capable and talented. She wondered why he had chosen to marry into a lesser family. If he put his skills to use in antique appraisal, he could easily accumulate a considerable fortune in just a few years.
Charlie looked at the card in her hand and hesitated.
One million was certainly a significant amount, but it was merely a drop in the bucket for the Moore family. He initially scoffed at the idea of accepting this one million since he had over 9.99 billion dollars available to him, it seemed trivial in comparison.
What was the point of accepting it?
However, upon reflection, he acknowledged that he wasn’t a trillionaire, he was the son-in-law of the Wilson family. If a son-in-law disregarded one million, it would undoubtedly raise Jasmine’s suspicions, so he took the card without hesitation and said, “Thank you, Miss Moore.”
Jasmine replied with a slight smile, “You’re very welcome, Mr. Wade.”
Afterward, Jasmine inquired, “Where are you headed next, Mr. Wade?”
Charlie smiled back, saying, “Take me to the vegetable market, I need to buy some groceries for dinner.”
Jasmine was taken aback and said, “I’ve heard about your situation, Mr. Wade. To be honest, given your capabilities, you shouldn’t be limiting yourself to being a son-in-law. How about coming to my Vintage Deluxe as the chief treasure appraiser? I can offer you a base salary of a million a year. What do you think?”
Charlie waved his hand with a laugh, “I have a penchant for simpler living and have gotten used to relying on others.”
Jasmine was momentarily surprised, then sighed. It seemed the rumors were true. This Charlie was indeed a gigolo living off his wife.
Previously, she had considered him merely a failure, which made it somewhat understandable that a failure would need to depend on someone else for a living. But now it appeared he was not just a failure, but a fallen one. This realization was difficult for her to accept.
Consequently, her attitude toward Charlie shifted slightly.
Charlie understood that she would now look down on him internally, but this was preferable for him, as it led others to misjudge him, setting him up for the ultimate victory.
After passing through the vegetable market, Charlie exited the car, bade Jasmine farewell and purchased some vegetables before returning home.
As soon as he stepped inside, Charlie heard his father-in-law laughing uproariously.
“Hahaha! Come and see the treasure I’ve unearthed!”
Claire, who had just finished work, was seated on the sofa reviewing documents. She couldn’t help but stand up, exclaiming to Jacob, “Dad, you nearly gave me a heart attack!”
“Check this out!” Jacob, completely oblivious to Claire’s reaction, excitedly showcased a pair of palm-sized celadon cups, saying, “These are the blue and white cup I bought from the antique market. I heard it was recovered from the coffin of a late Emperor and is worth over half a million dollars!”
“Half a million?” Claire gasped, suddenly standing upright. “Dad, where did you get that kind of money?”
Charlie felt utterly helpless. He had just broken the jade pot spring vase that morning, and while he was out, the old man had ventured to the antique market again? It was a classic case of healing scars only to forget the pain.
Jacob chuckled, adding a touch of mystery, “I mean it’s valued at half a million. Can you guess what I paid for it?”
Claire hesitated briefly, then cautiously suggested, “Three hundred thousand?”
“No! Try again!” Jacob waved dismissively.
“Two hundred thousand?”
“Wrong again!”
Charlie glanced at the celadon cups and immediately recognized them as fakes. He thought to himself, it would be astounding if these things were worth even a hundred dollars.
At that moment, Jacob stopped keeping the secret and laughed, “Hahaha, I got them for 300 dollars! Isn’t that incredible?”
Delight was evident on Jacob’s face as he reveled in his own discovery.
Claire blinked in disbelief, struggling to process the information. “No way, you mean this cup really only cost 300 dollars?”
Elaine, having heard the commotion from the kitchen, rushed out, looking excited. “Is this cup genuinely that valuable? It can’t be a fake, right?”
Jacob patted his chest with pride, “Don’t worry! The seller clearly didn’t know what it was worth. I even had someone verify it and they confirmed it’s the real deal!”
“Really?” Elaine carefully picked up the cup, inspected it from various angles, and beamed with happiness.
Charlie stood quietly by, merely smiling in agreement, maintaining a composed expression. He had already determined the cups were counterfeit, but seeing his father-in-law’s joy, he chose not to burst the bubble.
Jacob was ecstatic, as if he had just stolen some fish, and declared, “This cup isn’t complete yet. The seller said he’d bring the missing part tomorrow. I’ll go check it out! If I can get the complete set, the value would skyrocket! If I’m lucky, I might even pay off the 6 million dollar debt!”
Charlie frowned and promptly intervened, “Dad, don’t be greedy when it comes to antiques. Buying these two cups is enough and then…”
Jacob shot him an annoyed glance. “What more do you have to say? Are you schooling me?”
Charlie quickly replied, “No, no! As long as you’re happy with it.”
After that, he decided not to meddle any further. Regardless, even if his father-in-law ended up getting scammed, it was not his money at stake.
Claire added, “Dad, why did you buy so many? You cannot use this cups to eat or drink. Besides, the price discrepancy is huge whether they are real or fake remains to be seen.”
She couldn’t comprehend the allure of “getting rich quick.” If it were that easy to buy a treasure worth 500,000 dollars for just 300 dollars, wouldn’t everyone be wealthy?
Jacob, undeterred, responded enthusiastically, “You don’t get it! This is an antique and it takes a keen eye to spot a deal!”
As he admired the celadon cups, he turned to Claire, “Don’t worry about it. Others were after this today, so I might not be able to snag it tomorrow.”
Elaine eagerly chimed in, “If it’s genuinely that valuable, you must find a way to secure it!”
As Claire watched her parents eagerly admire the cups, she quietly tugged on Charlie’s sleeve.
“I’m not sure this is reliable. It feels like a scam. Dad will definitely go back tomorrow. You should accompany him to the antique street to prevent him from being cheated.”
Charlie nodded. He wouldn’t have bothered if Claire hadn’t said anything, but since she did, he couldn’t just stand idly by!

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 90
After leaving the Quinton family, Jack Yaleman immediately started to indulge in his own wishes.
He was naturally eager to take revenge on Charlie and reclaim the giant clam that Charlie had won at the auction, but that alone wasn’t enough!
This time he came to Aurous Hill with the additional goal of establishing his reputation, gathering a group of followers, and bolstering his career.
He devised a plan that he believed would accomplish both objectives.
By using Charlie as a cautionary example, he aimed to make all of Aurous Hill submit to him!
Unbeknownst to Charlie, he was being set up as a pawn in Yaleman’s scheme.
That evening, as he was preparing to buy groceries for dinner, he received a call from Jasmine.
After he picked up the phone, Jasmine spoke to Charlie in a serious tone, “Mr. Wade, Jack Yaleman has invited some masters of antiques, feng shui, and metaphysics to host a banquet at the White family residence. He asked me if you would be available to attend.”
“Zeke’s house? Which White family are you talking about?”
Jasmine clarified, “It’s a middle-class family. They have two male heirs, Gerald White and Kevin.”
“Those two? Why was their family chosen to organize the event?” Charlie asked curiously.
Jasmine explained, “The White family has been struggling recently. Their son Kevin and nephew Gerald White have encountered various difficulties, and the family’s business has taken a hit. Thus, the head of the White family turned to Jack Yaleman to change their feng shui.”
She continued, “However, I suspect that Jack Yaleman invited a group of metaphysics masters not only to earn money from the White family but also for ulterior motives.”
Charlie smiled and said casually, “I took that giant clam at the auction and insulted him, so he clearly wants to retaliate against me. I suspect this is a trap he has set for me!”
With a slight grin, Charlie added, “But I’ll attend and see what tricks he has up his sleeve.”
Seeing his agreement, Jasmine replied, “Great! The banquet is at Zeke’s house. Let’s go together tomorrow morning; I’ll drive to pick you up.”
“Sounds good.”
……
The next morning, Jasmine drove to pick up Charlie, and together they went to Zeke’s house.
The White family villa is situated on a hillside in the suburbs, surrounded by picturesque scenery.
The gardens feature pavilions and structures designed in an antique style, showcasing over 100 million dollars spent on elaborate decoration. They are typically used to host esteemed guests or entertain friends, giving it a grand appearance.
By the lakeside pavilion, dozens of yellow rosewood chairs were arranged. More than a dozen invited guests were already seated, engaging in conversation, punctuated by occasional laughter.
Occupying the main seat was a slightly overweight middle-aged man—Kevin’s father, Zeke White.
Seated beside him was Master Jack Yaleman.
Among the attendees, Charlie also recognized two familiar faces: Travis Lane, the richest man in Lancaster, and Matthew Gibson, who accompanied him.
As soon as Charlie entered, Travis Lane and the others nodded to him.
However, Zeke White shot him a disdainful glance and snorted coldly.
Clearly, he was aware that Kevin and Gerald White had suffered setbacks at the hands of Charlie, which explained his unfriendly demeanor.
Finn promptly stood up and approached, greeting, “Mr. Wade, Miss Moore, welcome.”
Charlie nodded while managing a smile, “Just here to observe the skills of the masters.”
A middle-aged man in a long gown asked in surprise, “Is this the buyer who purchased the top giant clam at auction for a staggering 100 million?”
Finn introduced, smiling, “This is Master Wade.”
“What? Master?” Zeke White scoffed at Charlie, quickly adding, “These days, the title of master has become nearly meaningless. Anyone can call themselves a master, but truly capable individuals, like Mr. Yaleman, remain humble.”
As soon as he finished, an awkward silence fell over the crowd.
Zeke White’s intention wasn’t to insult; it was simply that Charlie, given his age and demeanor, didn’t fit the traditional image of a “master.”
Most of the guests were esteemed figures in the metaphysics community, and elevating a young man like Charlie to “Master Wade” was uncomfortable for many.
Jack Yaleman stood up with a composed smile, saying, “It’s alright. I borrowed the White family’s venue for this banquet to connect with all of you. As for distinguishing between genuine masters and those seeking notoriety, time will reveal the truth.”
His words drew sneers from those present, leaving little doubt about Charlie’s motivations.
Jasmine frowned slightly. She was aware that Jack Yaleman had targeted Charlie, but she hadn’t anticipated such an oppressive atmosphere upon arrival.
Nevertheless, Charlie appeared unfazed. He took a seat, disregarding the preceding murmurs around him.
Zeke White observed that everyone had arrived and announced, “Now that we’re all here, I’d like to inform you that Mr. Yaleman borrowed the White family’s venue today for two reasons: first, to familiarize himself with everyone, and second, to engage in friendly exchanges.”
“How will these exchanges be conducted?” someone inquired.
“Naturally, it will depend on the individuals’ skills.”
Jack Yaleman stepped forward to clarify, “The rules are quite simple. As you know, the metaphysics field encompasses five branches. Participants can select the area in which they excel to challenge their opponents!”
“To formalize the event, the White family will sponsor the funds, offering a prize of 5 million for each competition. The winner will receive this amount, while the loser will receive a travel stipend of 50,000.”
This structure was reasonable, drawing nods from many in attendance.
Typically, practitioners in the metaphysics community operate independently and rarely reveal their strengths. However, gathering everyone for a competition offered a chance to assess one another while also winning substantial rewards.
“Just a friendly competition?” Charlie sneered softly, doubting that Jack Yaleman organized this banquet solely to exhibit his capabilities.
After some discussion, Zeke White continued, “However, offering a cash prize alone may not be enough to fuel everyone’s enthusiasm. Many here are wealthy and don’t necessarily need these millions.”
“To spark greater motivation, we’ve added another condition: the winner may either take the 5 million cash prize or choose something of value from the loser!”
Furthermore, he declared, “The ultimate victor will be recognized as the leading master in the metaphysical community. Henceforth, all masters in the area will regard him as the Venerable, and any local matters of metaphysics, Feng Shui, or Antique industy will require his approval!”
Once he finished speaking, an eerie silence enveloped the yard.
Moments later, it erupted into a cacophony of voices, with many attendees expressing their indignation.
“What if the challenger selects a category where the challenged party lacks expertise?”
“Isn’t the idea of a first place in the Newton University metaphysics community a claim to territory?”
“Is this a joke? The metaphysics community in Newton University has always operated independently, and now they must bow to someone else? This is absurd. Besides, are there people here who are not from Newton?”
The crowd buzzed with discontent, as no one had anticipated that this so-called banquet would turn out to be a Hongmen banquet organized by Jack Yaleman aimed at unifying the metaphysics community in Newton!
