The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 72
Harold felt a buzzing sensation in his head and a wave of jealousy washed over him. He hadn’t even touched Loreen, yet here she was, undressed by a strange man, with him touching and pressing against her thighs.
How could he tolerate this!
In that moment, Harold was oblivious to the fact that Loreen was deeply disappointed in him. Gritting his teeth, he said with jealousy, “I think that man doesn’t want to save you at all, he just wants to take advantage of the situation and take liberties with you!”
As soon as Harold finished speaking, every member of the Wilson family turned their attention to Loreen.
They all shared the same thought.
A beautiful woman lying in front of a stranger in disheveled clothing while he rubbed and touched her was a story that sparked the imagination.
Loreen was so enraged that she staggered, feeling immense disappointment with Harold!
Not only had he fled first, but now he was making malicious assumptions about her, and doing it in front of so many people. This was not just unkind or unjust; it was downright shameless!
Coldly, Loreen replied, “Harold, the man who saved me didn’t do anything inappropriate. I took off my pants myself! This has nothing to do with you!”
With her teeth clenched in anger, she accused, “It’s you, Harold. Everything that happened tonight was your doing. When the other party came for revenge, you ran away, leaving me behind and causing me to get hurt. And now you’re saying this? Do you have any shame?”
Harold was silenced, his face flushed with embarrassment, unable to respond.
Loreen didn’t even spare him a glance as she got up and left the ward, hailing a cab back to her hotel.
The Wilson family stood in shock. No one had expected the truth to be like this!
It turned out Harold had created trouble and abandoned Loreen, which ultimately led to her being harmed…
As soon as Loreen left, Lady Wilson, infuriated, slapped Harold across the face.
Harold was stunned by the sudden blow. The Lady scolded him, “What did I teach you? I told you to win Loreen over, but instead you abandoned her and ran away. How could she possibly like you after such cowardice?”
“Grandma, I was wrong.” Harold covered his burning cheek, suddenly realizing his mistake and feeling overwhelmed with regret.
At that moment, it dawned on him that there was no chance left for him and Loreen.
……
Charlie returned home, careful not to mention the events of the night to his wife.
His wife was completely unaware of Loreen’s ordeal.
After all, Claire’s family had always been sidelined by the Lady, which meant they were never in a position to live in the Wilson family villa, leaving them out of the loop regarding such happenings.
The next morning, Claire received a call from the Lady as soon as she woke up.
The Lady instructed her, “Claire, I need you to visit Elite Vault Enterprise today and speak with their boss. See if you can secure a credit line of 10 million dollars for building materials until we receive payment from the Emgrand Group.”
Claire quickly responded, “Grandma, Elite Vault Enterprise is a major player and they rarely extend credit.”
The Lady replied, “There’s no other option. The Wilson family is facing issues with our capital chain. We can’t cover these expenses or secure a loan, so we must find a way through Elite Vault Enterprise.”
Then the Lady added, “Claire, our family is currently struggling in multiple areas, and your cousin isn’t helping matters. We’re relying on you now. You need to have a good conversation with Daniel, the boss of Elite Vault Enterprise. If he agrees, we have a chance!”
Claire hesitated briefly before reluctantly agreeing, saying, “Grandma, I’ll try my best.”
“Good!” the Lady said with relief. “I believe in you!”
After hanging up the phone, Claire felt a wave of melancholy.
Unable to contain himself, Charlie asked, “What happened?”
Claire described the situation to Charlie.
He nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we ask the Emgrand Group to prepay the 20 million dollars for the project?”
Claire quickly disagreed, “That’s not possible. We’re already in a prestigious position by collaborating with the Emgrand Group. If we ask them to prepay the project, we’ll lose face.”
Charlie wanted to point out that the Emgrand Group was owned by her husband and that 20 million shouldn’t be a burden, but Claire was unaware of this. She said, “Fine, I’ll go speak with Mr. Koch.”
Charlie offered, “Then I’ll come with you.”
“That’s not appropriate.” Claire responded. “How can I bring my husband to a business meeting? It would come off as unprofessional.”
With that, Claire insisted, “Just stay at home. If you’re bored, go out for a walk. There’s nothing for you to do here.”
Seeing her firm stance, Charlie decided not to press further. He understood that his wife had always valued her independence and wanted to tackle challenges herself. So he thought, why not let her have this opportunity? If things went awry, he could always step in discreetly.
……
After breakfast, Claire set an appointment with Daniel Knoch, the boss of Elite Vault Enterprise and drove to the company on her own.
Elite Vault Enterprise is one of the largest suppliers in Aurous Hill and Salford Province, dealing primarily in aluminum alloy construction materials and serving as a key supplier for major real estate projects.
Daniel Knoch had humble beginnings but benefited from marrying a woman with a strong family background, allowing him to rise through the ranks with her family’s support.
However, he was known as a henpecked husband, despite his wife’s lack of beauty, he never strayed, earning a reputation as a devoted man who never forgets his wife.
Elite Vault Enterprise was located in the city’s outskirts, occupying thousands of acres for its expansive factory.
After Claire arrived at the office building of Elite Vault Enterprise, she made her way inside.
Upon her arrival, she found Daniel waiting in the lobby, eager to greet her.
As soon as he saw her, a warm smile spread across his face, and he hurried over, extending his hand. “Oh, Ms. Wilson, I apologize for not welcoming you properly today!”
Claire shook his hand politely and smiled, “Mr. Koch, you’re too kind.”
As Claire tried to withdraw her hand, she noticed that Daniel held on a bit too tightly.
Claire pulled her hand away with effort, saying with a hint of concern, “Mr. Koch, what’s going on…?”
Daniel quickly scratched his head and smiled nervously, “I’m so sorry! I’ve heard that Ms. Wilson is exceptionally beautiful and meeting you in person left me a bit dazed. Please forgive my rudeness!”
Seeing that he was apologetic and straightforward eased Claire’s discomfort slightly.
At that moment, Daniel kindly gestured for her to follow him, saying with a smile, “Ms. Wilson, come to my office so we can have a proper chat!”
