The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 496-500 (Cleaned Up)
Chapter 496
Charlie Wade looked at Liam and asked, "I hear you have a request?"
Liam quickly retrieved a wooden box containing a thousand-year-old snow-white ginseng from his pocket and presented it to Charlie. He said respectfully, "Mr. Wade, this ginseng is a family heirloom passed down through my mother's family. I've carried it for years, but it's wasted in my hands. Therefore, I offer it to you."
Charlie opened the box, examining the ginseng. He felt its potent spiritual energy; a treasure indeed! It had absorbed the aura of heaven and earth for centuries, growing in the pristine ecology of Mount Golmin.
A little excited, Charlie realized the ginseng could significantly enhance his abilities. This was an opportunity he couldn't refuse. He asked calmly, "What do you want from me, Liam?"
Liam explained that his father, Kenneth, was suffering from severe penis rot after taking medication from the Weaver family. He pleaded for Charlie's help to save Kenneth and the Weaver family from ruin. He asked Charlie to treat Kenneth, in exchange for the ginseng.
Charlie, instead of immediately agreeing, asked Liam, "You've endured much humiliation in the Weaver family. Why offer me this ginseng and beg me to help them?"
Liam confessed to years of mistreatment. His mother, a herbalist from Mount Golmin, had been deceived and abandoned by his father. Liam remained in the Weaver family solely to avenge his mother's suffering and his own humiliation. He desired his father to apologize at his mother's grave on Mount Golmin.
Liam recounted his mother's difficult pregnancy and his own difficult childhood as a scorned child. His mother's death from overwork and bitterness left him alone and vulnerable. In the Weaver family, he faced constant abuse from his father, stepmother, and half-brother.
He explained his years of suppressed bitterness and his desire for revenge. He revealed his father's promise: whoever saved Kenneth would become chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals. Liam offered his lifelong service in exchange for Charlie's help in obtaining that position.
Chapter 497
Charlie Wade saw a parallel between his own past as a neglected orphan and Liam's story. His life had changed drastically when Stephen Thompson found him, and he finally found success after discovering the Apocalyptic Book. He understood Liam's desire for revenge and his longing for validation.
He decided to help Liam gain control of the Weaver family, especially since Liam's brother was his enemy, and he could use the ginseng.
Charlie said, "Liam, your desire for revenge compels me to help you."
Overjoyed, Liam prostrated himself in gratitude. Charlie helped him up and asked about Kenneth's location. Liam replied that Kenneth was at the Weaver family mansion, receiving only temporary anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment.
Charlie agreed to help, but clarified, "I'll cure the ulcer, preventing further rot, but I won't restore his manhood." Liam assured him that was sufficient for the Weaver family.
Chapter 498
At the Weaver mansion, everyone was anxious. The deadline for Kenneth's treatment loomed, and no solution had been found. Kenneth was in agony, antibiotics only slowing the decay.
Kenneth angrily demanded answers, and the family members exchanged nervous glances. Jordan, trembling, claimed to be actively searching for a solution, but secretly knew it was hopeless. He had failed to secure help from Anthony despite Jeffrey's efforts. Anthony's rejection and the news of Kenneth's self-inflicted injury spread quickly, making doctors reluctant to help.
Jeffrey, out of fear, returned home empty-handed after failing to find anyone willing to treat Kenneth. Other family members fared no better. Jordan felt the Weaver family's future was bleak; Kenneth's condition was worsening. Jeffrey suggested fleeing, but Jordan rebuked him, arguing that Kenneth would find them. Jordan blamed Jeffrey for attempting to win over Kenneth with unproven medication, threatening to ruin the family's legacy. Jeffrey, though remorseful, explained he was only trying to secure a beneficial partnership. Jordan, exhausted and filled with regret, felt the family was paying for his past mistakes.
Just then, someone announced that Liam had returned with Dr. Simmons and a young man.
Chapter 499
The news brought immediate joy. Jordan, incredulous, questioned how Liam had secured Dr. Simmons's help. Jeffrey was astonished and resentful.
Liam entered with Anthony and Charlie Wade. The presence of Anthony filled everyone with hope. The family speculated that Liam, through his actions, would inherit Weaver Pharmaceuticals. However, Jordan's earlier promise that whoever cured Kenneth would become the chairman remained.
Jeffrey seethed with anger, believing Liam had stolen his opportunity. He noticed Charlie Wade and recalled the humiliation he'd suffered at his hands.
Chapter 500
Kenneth, also remembering his humiliation at Charlie's hands, initially hesitated to approach Anthony. He then witnessed Anthony's deference toward Charlie Wade, understanding that antagonizing Charlie would jeopardize his own treatment. He apologized profusely to Charlie.
Anthony, publicly stating that Charlie was the only one who could save Kenneth, revealed his profound respect for Charlie's abilities. Kenneth, realizing he had to swallow his pride to survive, kneeled before Charlie, calling him "grandfather." Everyone was stunned by the Chairman of Modestway Group's complete submission.
Jordan praised Charlie, but Jeffrey, still resentful, angrily declared Charlie to be a fraud, suggesting Liam had tricked them. This outburst resulted in a double slap from both Jordan and Kenneth, silencing Jeffrey.
