The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 19

“I am not worthy, so how can you be deserving?”

Wendell Jones shot Charlie a cold look and replied, “You’re nothing but a loser. You can’t even take care of your own wife. Claire deserves better than being with you. If she were with me, I could give her everything she desires!”

Charlie’s expression hardened, and he lowered his voice to deliver his warning, “I’m giving you two choices. First, apologize to Claire and retract what you said in front of everyone. Second, I will make your family’s business completely bankrupt. Choose wisely.”

“Hahahaha, are you serious? Who do you think you are to bankrupt my family’s business?”

Wendell Jones laughed mockingly, his disdain for Charlie evident. “Are you daydreaming, fool? What can you possibly do to ruin my company? Do you even understand its value? You think you can bring it down just by saying so?”

With a blank expression, Charlie fixed his gaze on Wendell Jones for a moment, as if he were foolish. He then casually pulled out his phone and called Stephen Thompson.

“In three minutes, I want to see Wendell Jones’s company financially ruined and in liquidation, with debts exploding!”

To suggest that a company valued in the billions could be bankrupted in three minutes was, frankly, ludicrous!

Wendell Jones eyed Charlie with contempt and sneered, “You’ve lost your mind! Do you think you’re the super rich guy on the internet?”

Afterward, Wendell Jones continued coldly, “You’re pathetic, stop pretending. I’ll give you two choices. First, kneel and apologize to me, then swiftly divorce Claire. Second, I’ll make sure you’re thoroughly destroyed, allowing you to watch as Claire and I enjoy our lives together. You have one minute to decide!”

Charlie looked at his phone and replied, “You have one minute left. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider your approach?”

“Get lost! You have thirty seconds to think it over. If you don’t kneel, you’ll deeply regret it for the rest of your life!” Wendell Jones retorted indifferently.

“Twenty seconds!”

“Ten seconds!”

“Five seconds!”

“Time’s up. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. It’s you, loser, who brought this upon yourself!” Wendell Jones said, adjusting his collar before signaling to a few bodyguards to move in and attack.

However, at that moment, Wendell Jones’s phone rang unexpectedly.

He was startled and quickly answered when he saw it was his father calling.

“Dad, I’m already at the banquet. Are you here?”

On the line, Wendell Jones’s father roared, “You useless fool! Who did you manage to offend? What trouble have you caused? All the shareholders are frantically dumping our stocks, and their value has plummeted by more than 80%!”

His father continued furiously, “The bank has suddenly demanded immediate repayment! All our partners have quit collaborating with us and are halting settlements! Our cash flow is in shambles! Our only option now is bankruptcy and liquidation!”

As Wendell Jones listened, his face went pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

“Our family is doomed! It’s all over!”

He wanted to ask more, but suddenly he heard police sirens in the background, followed by knocking and officers urging his father to cooperate with their investigation.

Weakness washed over him as his phone slipped from his grip and shattered upon impact with the floor.

His legs buckled, and he found himself kneeling before Charlie.

The wind seemed to bite, chilling him to the bone both inside and out.

Witnessing this, the bodyguards stood frozen in shock and confusion, too stunned to act.

Trembling with fear, Wendell Jones whispered to Charlie, “Who are you? You did this, didn’t you?”

The onlookers were equally astonished. How had Wendell Jones suddenly knelt before Charlie, the son-in-law of the Wilson family? What had transpired?

Charlie looked down at him, leaned in slightly, and said, “I gave you a chance to choose, but you didn’t take the right option.”

“I realize my mistake. I sincerely apologize. Please let me go! Claire has nothing to do with this. I haven’t harmed her in any way. I never helped with the Emgrand Group project, everything I said before was a lie. I beg you, please forgive me and my family!”

Wendell Jones repeatedly bowed his head in apology. He never imagined that a son-in-law of the Wilson family would wield such power! One simple phone call had led to his family’s ruin!

Looking at Charlie’s face, he found it more terrifying than that of any monster.

Someone who could bring his family to its knees in mere minutes was not someone to cross!

Charlie shook his head and said, “You should feel fortunate, as I at least spared your life. Otherwise, your entire family would be in grave danger.”

At these words, Wendell Jones turned pale, shaking violently.

Charlie regarded him coolly and added, “To be honest, I am the super rich guy you saw online. If you don’t want to end up dead, I suggest you keep my identity to yourself. Otherwise, neither you nor your father will see the sunrise tomorrow.”

With that, Charlie gave Wendell Jones a light pat on the cheek, disregarded him, and walked into the banquet hall.

Wendell Jones collapsed onto the floor, feeling utterly humiliated and too frightened to oppose Charlie.

As Charlie entered the hall, Wendell Jones scrambled after him.

Spotting Claire nearby, he crawled to her, kneeling at her feet, continually apologizing. “Claire, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have spread rumors about you. The Emgrand Group project had nothing to do with me! Please, let me off the hook!”

Claire was taken aback by his sudden display of submission and stumbled back, only to find herself in a warm embrace.

Turning to see Charlie had caught her, Claire felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Seeing Claire carefully dressed and radiant, Charlie instinctively stepped forward to support her as Wendell Jones lunged toward her. Charlie fiercely glared at Wendell, warning him to back off.

Terrified, Wendell Jones quickly rolled away, desperate to avoid provoking Charlie further.

Claire, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

Charlie held her gently and replied, “Don’t worry, I think he’s just unwell. Just ignore him.”

Although they were husband and wife, there hadn’t been any intimate moments between them. Claire could feel the warmth radiating from Charlie’s embrace, causing her ears to flush.

Quickly pulling away, she said hesitantly, “Um, the Chairman of the Emgrand Group is supposed to be here. I want to go see…”
