The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 99
Seeing the sales lady grow increasingly anxious, worried about losing her job for upsetting Charlie, he gently waved his hand and reassured her, “It’s a minor issue, I won’t hold it against you.”
He then added, “By the way, please inform these shortsighted individuals about Villa A05.”
The sales lady, feeling as if she had been granted a reprieve, quickly addressed the others, “In our Villa area in Thompson First, the Villa’s are categorized into four types A, B, C and D. Among these, the largest and most exclusive is the A-type. This Villa boasts three floors above ground and two below, complete with a private elevator. The total usable area exceeds 1,000 square meters and it features hundreds of square meters of front and back courtyards. Its price is over 100 million dollars, making it the most expensive Villa in all of Aurous Hill!”
The moment these words left her mouth, everyone was left speechless!
A Villa worth over 100 million dollars is equivalent to more than a dozen three-bedroom apartments. How could someone as plainly dressed as Charlie afford such an extravagant residence?
Harold’s face twisted with anger, while his sister and parents nearly exploded with envy!
Wendy exclaimed in disbelief, “Charlie! How on earth do you own a Villa here?”
With a slight smile, Charlie replied, “Someone gifted it to me, is that such a surprise?”
“Why do you deserve something like that?” Wendy exclaimed in frustration. She had always aspired for a life of luxury but had never had the opportunity to inhabit a Villa herself. Why did Charlie get to enjoy this privilege?
Charlie chose not to engage with her outburst and instead focused on her brother, Harold. “Harold, when are you going to take that leap off the building? I’m curious.” he said with a grin.
Harold’s expression darkened, his anger palpable as he clenched his fists. “Charlie, stop playing games with me. I still can’t believe you can afford this Villa! I don’t believe anyone would just give you a Villa! You need to explain how you came by it!”
Charlie shook his head with a smile, addressing those around him. “See what I mean? Some people just can’t handle losing.”
Then, turning to Harold, Charlie remarked, “Given your capabilities, you’ll only ever be able to buy a standard high-rise apartment and serve as a doorman for those of us who actually live in Villa’s. You are in no position to question where my Villa came from. Just remember, this is a place you will never be able to afford!”
“You…” Harold’s face turned a deep shade of crimson.
This was the first time Charlie had openly insulted him like this and what infuriated him most was that he had no retort!
How could he even respond? His Family’s struggle to buy a 240-square-meter apartment was palpable, while Charlie effortlessly possessed the largest Villa in the residential area. The disparity between them felt insurmountable.
In a sense, he had become the subject of Charlie’s ridicule, and it filled him with rage!
Through gritted teeth, he said darkly, “Charlie, you’re so impressive. You built such a large Villa without informing your Family at all. Do you still think of the Wilson Family?”
Charlie smiled, “Didn’t you always argue that I was no longer part of the Wilson Family? So why should I feel the need to inform you?”
At that moment, he turned to Claire, saying, “Wife, since we’re here, why not go take a look at our new Villa?”
Claire responded hesitantly, “This… what’s going on?”
With a gentle smile, Charlie replied, “I’ll explain it all to you in a bit.”
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice echoed in the air.
“Oh, brother and sister-in-law, you’re looking to buy a home in Thompson First? That’s fantastic!”
It was Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine! She was accompanied by Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob!
Both Charlie and Claire were surprised by their unexpected arrival.
Claire rushed over, asking, “Mom and Dad, what brings you here?”
Elaine explained, “Your uncle and aunt called us, mentioning they wanted to view houses in Thompson First and asked for our input.”
As Elaine relayed this, she shot Charlie an annoyed glance.
Truth be told, she hadn’t wanted to come, especially since she had just argued with her daughter the day before about moving out of the old house. Yet here she was, summoned by Christopher’s Family to tag along for their house tour.
What was there to see? Didn’t they just want to parade their potential purchase of a Villa in front of us?
Elaine felt frustrated and unwilling to give Charlie any praise, especially considering she had hoped for a capable son-in-law who would afford her the same luxury.
Her gaze turned to her sister-in-law, Hannah, who had a smug expression. “Sister-in-law, you are truly remarkable! You’ve purchased a house in Thompson First already! I’m so envious! I wonder when our Family will get to live there. This Thompson First estate is such a high-end residence! You bought a 240-square-meter house? I honestly doubt our Family could save enough in fifty years!”
Although Elaine was irritated by her sister’s Family, she knew better than to disregard their status and thus began to flatter them earnestly.
However, Hannah’s expression soured as she glared at Elaine. “Elaine, what do you think you’re implying? Are you looking down on us?”
Hannah was furious! Her intention in bringing Jacob and Elaine was to boast about purchasing a luxurious Villa in Thompson, showcasing her own success while belittling them.
She hadn’t expected that her son-in-law would actually own a luxury Villa as well!
Now, Elaine’s comments felt like a direct jab at her ego, implying that her own achievements paled in comparison.
“You have a Villa worth hundreds of millions and yet you express envy over my situation?” she seethed. “That’s quite an insult!”
Feeling wronged, Elaine was taken aback. She had endeavored to flatter Hannah and yet felt accused of contempt. Did she really need to grovel to avoid misunderstandings?
Thus, Elaine forged ahead with her flattery, “Oh, sister-in-law, when comparing myself to you, I feel like a mere candle next to the sun! How could I dare look down on you? You’re about to settle down in Thompson First’s finest grade while I’m still stuck in my small, dilapidated home. Oh, our little house is truly falling apart, it can’t possibly compare to your luxurious Thompson First residence! Naturally, I envy you!”
Hannah was even more offended by Elaine’s words, her anger rendering her speechless. Her husband, Christopher, gritted his teeth. “Elaine, what’s with your condescending remarks? It’s just a Villa! Why are you acting so superior?”
He then turned to his brother, Jacob and coldly added, “Jacob, do I still mean anything to you as your brother? Or am I just invisible? For something as significant as a Villa, you didn’t even bother to inform the Family?”
Jacob was momentarily dumbfounded. “Villa? What Villa? Brother, are you looking to buy a Villa? Where did you find the money for that?”
