The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 23

The call was connected without delay.

As soon as Elaine spoke, she said, “Hello, is this Kevin White? Yes, I’m Claire’s mother…”

Since Kevin White had seen Claire at the banquet, he was immediately captivated and couldn’t forget her.

He worried that he might never get a chance to approach Claire, so when her mother called him, he seized the opportunity.

He assumed that Elaine was facing some trouble, and naturally, he wouldn’t miss the chance to be of assistance.

Politely, he responded, “Auntie Elaine, is there something troubling you?”

“Yes, there’s something I need your help with,” Elaine quickly replied. “Actually Kevin, me along with some old friends, invested all our savings in financial products from a company called Axel. But now they’ve stopped us from withdrawing our funds. Can you help me recover our money?”

Upon hearing this, Kevin felt a surge of excitement; it was his opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities. “Auntie, don’t worry! I’ll come over right away and definitely help you resolve this issue!”

Elaine was thrilled and quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much!”

After hanging up, she turned to Charlie and expressed her frustration, saying, “Some people are useless and can’t be depended on. Besides shouting slogans, what else can they offer?”

Charlie silently scoffed at her words. His mother-in-law was truly shallow and shortsighted.

Asking Kevin for help?

This company had swindled at least tens of millions, if not more. Anyone bold enough to pull off such a scam likely had a powerful backing, possibly even connections to the underworld. How could Kevin possibly make them return the stolen money?

The White family was quite ordinary. Since their collaboration with the Emgrand Group ended, their influence had diminished even further. Given the White family’s background, they were practically powerless against such substantial financial fraud.

In reality, this minor issue could be easily resolved by simply contacting Isaac Cameron from Shangri-La.

After all, he was the Wade family’s representative in Aurous Hill. Any entrepreneur or influential figure in the area would have to treat him with respect.

However, his mother-in-law was incredibly infuriating. Since she trusted Kevin, let her rely on him!

When others saw Elaine on the phone, they immediately gathered around, eager to find out if she had managed to engage someone influential to assist them.

With a proud smile, Elaine told the group, “Don’t worry, I’ve asked the eldest son of the White family to help. He’s very capable, and I’m confident it will be easy for him to recover the money!”

Someone gasped, “The eldest son of the White family? Elaine, you’re amazing! How did you get such a powerful person to assist us?”

“Yes! Mr. White must have numerous connections. A few words from him should resolve our issues!”

“Elaine, since you know such an impressive young man, why not have your daughter marry him instead of tying the knot with someone like this?”

Elaine looked at Charlie dismissively and huffed, “Someone like him will be kicked out of our Wilson family sooner or later!”

Charlie kept quiet, planning to observe how Kevin would face defeat.

Soon, a sleek black Porsche rolled up in front of them.

A sharply dressed young man stepped out of the vehicle.

It was Kevin.

The crowd around Elaine sighed in admiration, commenting, “Wow, look at him! This is a true young talent! Who knows which fortunate girl will end up with such a great son-in-law!”

“Absolutely! If my daughter could marry him, I’d die happy!”

“Dream on! Even if you did, he wouldn’t even notice your daughter!”

At that moment, Elaine spotted Kevin and eagerly rushed toward him, exclaiming, “Oh Kevin, you’re finally here! Auntie has been so anxious!”

It was indeed Kevin.

He greeted her with a smile, saying, “Auntie, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Elaine quickly replied, “Oh, Kevin, you’re too kind! I barely waited ten minutes! You arrived so quickly!”

Kevin returned her smile, “I heard you were in trouble, so I drove over as fast as I could, even running a few red lights along the way.”

Elaine’s pride swelled, but she then expressed concern, “Won’t that be troublesome for running so many red lights?”

“Not at all,” Kevin replied confidently. “The traffic police are all acquaintances. With one call, I can get any violations cleared.”

Then he inquired, “Now, tell me about your situation! How much money have you lost in total?”

Elaine sighed, “I invested over a million dollars, and they promised a $200,000 dividend this month, but now I can’t withdraw my principal.”

Kevin nodded reassuringly, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I will certainly help you get your money back.”

Just then, he noticed Charlie standing behind Elaine, and his expression shifted slightly.

To his surprise, that frustrating waste was also present.

Since meeting Claire, Kevin had entertained thoughts of getting closer to her. After hearing his brother Gerald White mention that Claire was still single, those thoughts became even stronger.

So, when he spotted Claire’s unambitious husband, he couldn’t help but snicker.

Grinning, he said, “Oh, Charlie is here too. Do you have a plan to help Aunt Elaine recover her investment? Why not give it a shot first? Otherwise, I might steal your thunder later.”

Elaine quickly remarked, “Let him try! What can he do? He just talks a big game and shouts slogans! Kevin, don’t pay any attention to him.”

Kevin nodded, his sarcasm evident, “Since Charlie lacks the ability, I’ll give it a try first!”

Charlie smiled faintly and replied, “Go for it, Mr. White.”

Kevin laughed dismissively. At that moment, the elderly friends surrounding Elaine approached and began to flatter her, saying, “Elaine, we’re all friends here. Please ask this handsome young man to help us! We were robbed of our hard-earned money!”

Elaine replied arrogantly, “Oh, I can’t make that decision; it’s up to Kevin, as he’s doing me a favor and doesn’t know you.”

Others chimed in, pleading, “Oh, Mr. White, please lend us your assistance too!”

Though Kevin looked down upon them, noticing Elaine’s desire to capitalize on small victories, he smiled and said, “Since you’re all Aunt Elaine’s friends, I can help you out.”

With their spirits lifted, Kevin added proudly, “However, since I’m helping you for Aunt Elaine’s sake, you’ll need to give Aunt Elaine 10% of the money I recover for you. Is that acceptable?”

They quickly responded, “No problem! Recovering 90% is far better than getting nothing!”

Upon hearing this, Elaine was absolutely thrilled!

The total amount these friends had lost added up to tens of millions. If Kevin really could help them recover it, wouldn’t that mean millions for her?
