The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 83
The next day, Graham arrived early in the morning at the foot of Charlie’s building.
He waited until Charlie stepped outside to buy vegetables before approaching him and presenting a black card.
He explained that there were several hundred million in the card, and that in order to save the Quinton family, it would be acceptable for Charlie to use all of it.
Aurora, the feisty little girl, was also present but this time she didn’t carry the same air of arrogance.
Seeing Charlie, respect washed over her features.
Since Adam’s troubles began, the Quinton family had faced a barrage of misfortunes, including a sudden decline in the old man’s health, which left him on the brink of death. She realized that only Master Wade could save her family!
After handing the card to Charlie, Graham knelt before him, his voice trembling with emotion as he pleaded, “Master Wade! Please save my Quinton family, no matter the cost. My life doesn’t matter, but my daughter is still so young…”
Aurora’s eyes filled with tears as she also knelt on the ground, crying out, “Master Wade, please help the Quinton family. If possible, I would be willing to trade my life for my father’s longevity!”
Graham scolded her angrily, “What nonsense are you saying!”
Charlie shook his head in exasperation, reaching out to help them up one by one. As he lifted Aurora, the softness of her small hands sent a rush of tenderness through him.
Once he had helped them both to their feet, Aurora’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Charlie reassured them, saying, “Don’t worry, I will do my best to ensure that your Quinton family navigates through this crisis safely.”
The father and daughter were deeply moved and wished to kneel again, but Charlie stopped them, saying, “It’s not good to kneel like this. You both should go now; I will let you know if I hear anything.”
“Thank you, Master Wade!” Both expressed their gratitude as they left.
When Charlie returned home after grocery shopping, his father-in-law Jacob rushed over, anxiety written all over his face, “Charlie, I just saw you talking to Graham outside the community?”
“Yes, he had something to discuss with me,” Charlie replied.
Jacob couldn’t hide his concern, saying, “He didn’t look happy. It seemed like bad news. Did you discover something troubling regarding his family’s fortune during your last reading?”
Jacob had been worried about this, fearing that Charlie might have said something far-fetched.
Charlie smiled and said, “Dad, Graham came to ask me to help rid his home of evil spirits and also gave me a bank card, asking me to check if there’s anything useful for the auction tomorrow.”
Jacob was taken aback for a moment and quickly asked, “How much money did he give you?”
Charlie replied nonchalantly, “A few hundred million.”
“What?!”
Jacob’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he clutched his chest in shock, nearly fainting from the news.
He grabbed Charlie in a panic, “Charlie, you must be joking! If the Quinton family gave you that much money and something went wrong, wouldn’t they come after our whole family? You need to return the money immediately!”
“Dad, don’t worry; I know my limits. There won’t be any issues,” Charlie reassured him.
Continuing, Charlie added, “This is quite serious, so you shouldn’t tell Claire or Mom about it. Otherwise, it could spiral out of control.”
“I understand, I understand…” Jacob nodded, knowing too well how his wife could be.
This woman was reckless when it came to money and would prioritize spending over anything else. If she knew about the hundreds of millions in the card, she wouldn’t care about the Quinton family, she would want to spend it right away.
Jacob felt his heart race at the mere thought of that amount, and he tried to persuade Charlie for some time. Realizing his words weren’t having any effect, he finally sat down on the sofa with a sigh.
He didn’t believe that Charlie could actually help the Quinton family solve their problems. Now he was worried that Charlie would squander the Quinton family’s money and eventually face consequences from them.
At that point, all he could do was keep a close eye on Charlie during the auction to ensure he didn’t make any reckless purchases.
If Charlie ended up cheating the Quinton family out of that much money, wouldn’t it mean doom for their entire family?
The following morning, Charlie got ready to attend the auction.
Due to the ongoing turmoil with the Quinton family, Jacob had hardly slept the previous night and kept nagging him in the living room.
Charlie offered a few half-hearted reassurances and then asked, “Dad, I heard there’s a finale treasure at this auction at the Treasure Pavilion, is that true?”
“Yes,” Jacob replied, puzzled, “I’ve heard it’s a priceless item, one of a kind.”
Suddenly remembering something, he pulled Charlie aside and warned, “Son-in-law, don’t get your hopes up about that finale treasure. Its starting bid is in the tens of millions; let’s just take a look.”
Charlie recognized that his father-in-law was concerned he would use the Quinton family’s money, so he smiled and said, “Dad, you’re right; I’ll just look, I won’t bid randomly.”
“That’s good to hear.” Jacob, fearing he wouldn’t take no for an answer, added, “But even if you do want to bid, you shouldn’t get involved.”
“Why not?”
“I found out yesterday that Mr. Yaleman from Mystery Court will be attending this auction too, specifically for that finale treasure.”
Charlie expressed surprise, “Mystery Court is attending as well?”
Mystery Court is well-known throughout the country.
Its owner, Jack Yaleman, is a famous Feng Shui Master!
Many celebrities in Hong Kong go to great lengths to consult him and he’s even appeared on television giving lectures on metaphysics. His reputation is widely recognized.
The fees to have a consultation with this Feng Shui master are steep, starting at seven figures. If a celebrity wants to buy Mystery Court’s magic tools, the price skyrockets even higher.
Although Mystery Court charges a premium, it is reputed to provide authentic materials.
Jack Yaleman is known for his accurate fortune-telling abilities.
He once predicted that two famous stars, despite being happily married, would divorce in November of that year.
To everyone’s astonishment, when November arrived, both stars announced their divorces on social media shortly after the prediction, which solidified Mystery Court’s fame.
Since then, more people have sought out Master Yaleman, especially in the entertainment industry where he is highly regarded.
Mystery Court’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong, in the Central Plaza, a prime location, indicating their wealth.
It was surprising to learn that Boss Yu would also attend the auction, seemingly determined to acquire the treasure.
Curious, Charlie asked, “What exactly is this finale treasure?”
“I have no idea. We’ll just go to look and won’t be buying anything,” Jacob repeated.
Just then, Charlie’s phone rang.
He answered and heard Jasmine’s voice on the line.
“Mr. Wade, my car is parked outside your house. I’ll pick you up on the way.”
Jasmine was also concerned about any potential issues at the auction, so she decided to accompany Charlie.
Stepping outside, Charlie spotted a vivid red Bentley parked by the curb, its shiny new exterior gleaming in the sunlight.
Jasmine leaned against the vehicle, dressed in a striking red fitted dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders stylishly and a pair of sunglasses rested on her face.
As she noticed Charlie and Jacob approaching, she removed her sunglasses and smiled, “Uncle Wilson, Mr. Wade, I’m heading to the auction at the Treasure Pavilion and am here to pick you up.”
“Oh, it’s Miss Moore,” Jacob recognized her and responded, flattered. “Miss Moore, you’re too kind.”
“Of course! Please, both of you, get in the car!” Jasmine nodded politely and opened the door for them.
Who would expect that Miss Jasmine Moore, the eldest daughter of the Moore family, would personally open the car door for her live-in son-in-law?
