The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 7

Seeing that her parents were targeting Charlie, Claire sighed and said, “Dad, Mom, this situation has nothing to do with Charlie. I don’t want them to belittle me any longer. Haven’t we endured enough over the years?”

Claire’s mother abruptly exclaimed, “Then you can’t accept this job. Even if you disregard yourself, people won’t care about your grandmother anymore!”

Charlie wore a bitter smile as he took in the scene. He feared that his snobbish in-laws would never believe that he was actually the boss of Emgrand Group.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

“Coming, coming…”

Mother-in-law Elaine sighed and opened the door.

Charlie looked up and saw a young man dressed in an Armani suit standing at the entrance. He appeared both elegant and handsome, wearing a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which seemed to be worth at least three to five million.

Elaine, his mother-in-law, exclaimed excitedly, “Oh, it’s Wendell! What brings you here?”

The man who entered was Wendell Jones, the son of the Jones family, who had been pursuing Claire.

Wendell Jones smiled and said, “Aunt, I heard that Claire has taken over the collaboration with Emgrand Group, so I came here to offer her some advice.”

“Oh! You really are our family’s savior!”

Elaine’s excitement was palpable. She looked at Wendell Jones as if he were her future son-in-law and quickly welcomed him inside, saying, “Wendell, do you have a way to help Claire secure the Emgrand Group contract?”

Wendell Jones nodded with a smile, completely overlooking Charlie as if he were a mere ant on the sidewalk. He approached Claire with a slight grin and said, “Claire, I can’t believe you didn’t mention such an important development. Don’t worry, Emgrand Group collaborates with my company. I’ll ask my dad to lend a hand and do my best to assist you.”

In truth, Wendell Jones’s father had little influence, he said this merely to show off in front of Claire.

Claire had always known that Wendell was interested in her, so she replied coolly, “Wendell Jones, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll find a way on my own.”

Elaine gasped in disbelief, “Claire, are you out of your mind? Young Master Jones is offering help with good intentions, how can you dismiss him like that?”

Without responding to her mother, Charlie interjected curiously, “Mr. Jones, I’m genuinely interested in how you plan to help Claire. Emgrand Group is so vast, and I doubt it’s within your control. Do you really have a way to secure a contract for Claire?”

Wendell Jones scoffed derisively and said, “What do you know? The Jones family has always had a solid partnership with Emgrand Group. If we get this project, we’ll get at least one-third of the two billion project from Emgrand! At that point, I can convince my father to allocate tens of millions from that share to contract with Claire, which will help her fulfill the requirements, right?”

Charlie responded in surprise, “Oh! I didn’t realize Mr. Jones’s family had such a close relationship with the Emgrand Group!”

Wendell Jones sneered, “Of course! In Aurous Hill, everyone knows our Jones family has a strong partnership with Emgrand Group.”

After saying this, Wendell Jones glared at Charlie, full of contempt, and advised, “Charlie, as someone stuck in a well, I suggest you step aside for Claire. You can’t provide her with the happiness she deserves, all you do is hold her back.”

At that moment, Claire said coolly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones, but I don’t need your help, and please do not speak disrespectfully to my husband!”

Wendell Jones was taken aback and exclaimed, “Claire, I’m going out of my way to help you, and yet you defend this loser? What is it about him that makes you want to protect him?”

Claire firmly replied, “He is not a loser, he is my husband!”

Wendell Jones’s face darkened with anger as he shot back, “Fine! You’re asking for it! I’ll be waiting to see how you manage this situation! If you can’t handle it, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”

With that, Wendell Jones turned around and slammed the door behind him.

Elaine wanted to chase after him to explain, but by then, he was already gone.

Frustrated, she slapped her thigh and directed her ire at Charlie, saying, “You’re infuriating! What can a useless person like you do except drag Claire down further? Young Master Jones was sincerely offering help, and you pushed him away!”

Charlie replied nonchalantly, “Mom, he was just talking. He couldn’t secure the Emgrand Group collaboration, so how could he assist Claire?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Elaine retorted angrily. “The Jones family is set to gain one-third of the Emgrand Group projects, and you don’t understand anything!”

Charlie sneered inwardly, knowing full well the Jones family’s abilities. He recognized that Emgrand Group would never collaborate with them again! Even if there had been a history of cooperation, that relationship was now severed.

Claire, unaware of Charlie’s thoughts, turned to her mother and said, “Mom, don’t blame Charlie. Let’s discuss this after I return from Emgrand Group!”

“Ugh!” Elaine sighed, feeling that fate had been unjust. She had married a worthless husband, and Claire, instead, had found one even worse.

What a tragedy!
