The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 48

The man snorted, a grin spreading across his face as he pinched Lily Lewis’s cheek. “Now that you’re my woman, are you still planning to be with him? I won’t allow any other men to touch what’s mine!”

Lily Lewis quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Jerome. Since we got together, I haven’t let him touch me at all, I think he’s disgusting! My body will forever belong to you, dear. I will serve only you!”

She continued, “Honestly, I wanted to break up with him right after the restaurant opened, but I didn’t expect that he had a capable classmate who helped me deal with Scar, a thug from the development zone. I planned to break up with him once the business stabilized and then kick him out of the restaurant.”

Jerome Hunt chuckled and said, “Scar and who? What’s the big deal? If you had told me sooner, I could have just called him to apologize on your behalf.”

Lily Lewis smiled and replied, “Oh, you’re amazing, Jerome! I didn’t have time to call you because things were so urgent and Douglas was there too. I was worried you’d be upset seeing him!”

Jerome pinched her waist and grinned, “You’re quite clever!”

Lily Lewis eagerly rubbed against his arm and asked, “Jerome, dear, would you be willing to buy me a BMW X6?”

Jerome laughed and said, “Sure! But first, let’s go to my place. Let me pamper you a little, then you can break up with that loser and I promise to buy you your X6 tomorrow!”

Lily Lewis was surprised and asked, “Jerome, are you serious? You really will get me an X6 tomorrow?”

“When have I ever lied to you?” Jerome scoffed. “But first, you need to take good care of me!”

With a flirtatious look, Lily Lewis assured him, “Don’t worry, dear! I’ll make sure to treat you well when we get to your house later!”

As they finished their conversation, they turned to leave the car dealership.

Charlie felt irritated at the sight of the couple, prompting him to pull out his phone and call Douglas.

As soon as Douglas picked up, he exclaimed, “Charlie! What’s up? Why are you calling me?”

Charlie responded coolly, “Just checking in. What are you up to these days?”

Douglas replied, “I’m helping out in the hotel kitchen. It’s almost noon and we need to prepare for the customers.”

Charlie inquired, “Are you busy at the hotel every day?”

“Yes.” Douglas confirmed. “The hotel has just opened, so there’s a lot to take care of. Besides, more than half of the investment came from Lili’s father. If I don’t work hard, they’ll think less of me.”

Charlie asked again, “And how much did you invest?”

Douglas replied “I put in $100,000, which is all I’ve saved since graduating college.”

Charlie continued, “Who owns the restaurant then?”

Douglas proudly claimed, “That’s me!”

Charlie pressed on, “Is your name on the business registration?”

Douglas admitted, “No, it’s registered under Lili’s father. We’re not married yet, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to put my name on someone else’s investment. However, her father promised that once we marry, the restaurant will officially belong to me.”

Hearing this, Charlie shook his head. This fool was completely unaware he was being played!

Lily Lewis was treating him like an unpaid worker while she flirted with wealthy men. She was ready to kick him aside once the restaurant became more established.

Once the business registration had nothing to do with Douglas, Lili could easily dismiss him, leaving him empty-handed!

Not only would he lose everything, but his own $100,000 investment would also go down the drain!

With increasing disgust towards Lily Lewis, Charlie asked Douglas directly, “Where is Lili now?”

Douglas replied with a smile, “She’s getting her hair done. What’s wrong?”

Charlie sneered, “Getting her hair done? Did she say that?”

“Yes!” Douglas said.

“Do you actually believe her?” asked Charlie.

Douglas, sounding puzzled, responded, “Charlie, what are you getting at? Just say it directly, there’s no need to be vague.”

Charlie sighed and said, “Fine, I’ll be straightforward. I just saw Lily Lewis at the BMW 4S store. She’s with a guy named Jerome and keeps calling him ‘dear.’ You might have been cheated on.”

“That’s impossible!” Douglas exclaimed. “Lily is not that kind of person! Are you sure you didn’t mistake her for someone else?”

Charlie insisted, “I didn’t mistake her. It was definitely her.”

“I don’t believe that!” Douglas said coldly. “Charlie, we have a good relationship, but you can’t just slander my fiance like this!”

Charlie responded firmly, “Douglas, wake up! Your fiance is already with another man. Jerome promised her a BMW X6. She likely plans to break up with you after returning home tonight! As a friend, I’m advising you to take precautions!”

Without waiting for a response, Charlie added, “You should move the painting I gave you. If you keep it, at least you’ll have something to fall back on. But if you choose not to believe me, that’s on you.”

Douglas grew anxious. “Charlie! Don’t spout nonsense! Lily is my fiance, I know her better than anyone! She would never betray me! If you frame her again, I’ll cut ties!”

Charlie frowned and remained calm. “Alright, I’ve warned you as a friend. If you refuse to believe me, there’s nothing more I can do. Best of luck!”

With that, Charlie hung up the phone.

What a fool blinded by love! If only he had secretly recorded a video to show him!

Just then, the Manager of the BMW store knocked on Charlie’s car window and asked, “Sir, are you satisfied with this 530?”

Charlie nodded, “Yes, it’s great. Please prepare a new one from the warehouse for me.”

The manager beamed, “Please wait a moment, I’ll have someone arrange that!”

Shortly after, a black BMW 530 was driven over by a salesperson. Charlie quickly swiped his card, paid for the car, folded his electric scooter and stowed it in the trunk, driving off with a swagger.

On his way back, both his father-in-law and mother-in-law called one after the other, inquiring about his return.

When Charlie reached downstairs, he found his in-laws waiting for him.

Seeing that Charlie had indeed bought a BMW 530, the elderly couple couldn’t contain their excitement.

His father-in-law circled the car several times, exclaiming, “What a beautiful car! I never thought I would have the chance to drive a BMW!”

Charlie smiled and said, “Dad, who knows, you might end up driving a Rolls-Royce someday.”

His father-in-law laughed, “Well, that depends on your success!”

His mother-in-law also looked thrilled and her attitude toward Charlie had improved significantly.

After taking a test drive, the father-in-law returned and remarked, “This car is fantastic and drives smoothly. However, it’s a bit long and hard to maneuver. Charlie, can you be my driver this afternoon? I have an appointment to check something out.”

Charlie nodded, “Sure, Dad.”

Excitedly, the mother-in-law chimed in, “You’ll be my driver later too! Take me out for afternoon tea with my friends! I want them to see I have a BMW to pick me up!”

“Alright, Mom!”
