The Amazing Son in Law: Chapters 516-520
Chapter 516
When Kenneth returned home, Wendy greeted him excitedly, "Kenneth, you're finally back! Did the Weavers help you?"
Kenneth huffed, "No, they had Charlie Wade cure me."
Wendy exclaimed, "Charlie Wade? Did he heal you?"
Kenneth sighed, "Yes, but only the necrosis. It's still unusable."
Wendy protested, "Then you shouldn't have let the Weavers off so easily, especially Jeffrey! He tricked you into taking their bad medicine. Make them heal you!"
Kenneth's expression was cold. "I let them go because of Charlie Wade, but I'll pursue them when I return to Eastcliff."
Wendy was stunned. "Kenneth, you're going back to Eastcliff?"
Kenneth said emotionlessly, "Of course. Aurouss Hill has brought me enough bad luck."
Panicked at the prospect of her benefactor leaving, Wendy clung to him. "Kenneth, don't leave me. Take me to Eastcliff!"
Wendy knew the Wilson family was finished. Kenneth had only given them ten million of the promised eighty million, insufficient to cover their debts. She had nowhere else to go; her affair with Kenneth was public knowledge. Her only chance was to cling to him.
But Kenneth was married. His wife would be furious if she found out. Moreover, Wendy was no longer useful to him as a lover.
Kenneth said harshly, "No. Eastcliff isn't for you. Stay in Aurouss Hill."
Wendy shrieked, "What should I do?"
Kenneth replied, "We're over. Maybe we'll see each other again in Aurouss Hill someday."
The Wilson family was confused. Lady Wilson expected the remaining seventy million. Without it, they'd face bankruptcy and possibly lose their mansion. She saw Kenneth as their only salvation.
She pleaded, her voice hoarse, "Kenneth, if you leave, we're ruined! We're family; Wendy is your lover. You can't leave us!" She then blurted, "Take us to Eastcliff! We'll be your loyal servants!"
Christopher added, "Kenneth, we treated you well. My father saved your father's life! Please, have mercy!"
Kenneth sneered, "Funny. We're not related. Why would I take you to Eastcliff? Your father saved mine, and I invested ten million in your company. That's even."
Chapter 517
Kenneth disregarded the Wilson family's plight. He wanted to return to Eastcliff and see a doctor for his erectile dysfunction.
Lady Wilson tried to plead again, but Kenneth irritably shoved her away. "Enough! I need to pack."
Lady Wilson's face paled. "Kenneth, you can't leave us! We'll go bankruptโฆ" She winked at Wendy.
Wendy clung to Kenneth's arm. "Kenneth, Grandma's right. You promised eighty million, not ten! Give us the remaining seventy million!"
The family looked at him desperately. They needed the money before he left.
Harold added, "Everyone knows my sister is your lover. If you leave, she'll be ridiculed!"
Kenneth exploded, "Money, money, money! You're ungrateful! I didn't even take back the ten million, and you dare ask for more?!"
Lady Wilson cried, "Kenneth, please, we need your help!" The family begged like street beggars.
Kenneth slapped Lady Wilson and roared, "Get away from me! Or I'll sue you for the ten million!"
Lady Wilson fell silent. They couldn't repay the ten million. She watched Kenneth leave with his bodyguards.
The Wilson family fell into despair. Christopher had fifteen millionโten million in savings and five million Wendy received from Kennethโintended for a house purchase. He wouldn't use it to save the company, as it was a bottomless pit and the debts were in Lady Wilson's name. He planned to use the money as his personal funds.
He told his mother, "Mom, we owe a lot of money. This house will likely be seized. Prepare for the worstโฆ"
Chapter 518
Lady Wilson despaired. Kenneth was gone; who else could help?
Then, an idea struck her. She looked at Wendy. "Wendy, Kenneth gave you to Jeffrey Weaver. Their net worth is one to two billion! Beg him to invest!"
Christopher agreed. "Yes! Wendy, you had a relationship with him. He won't let us die!"
Wendy called Jeffrey, hoping he could solve their problems. However, Jeffrey's phone was confiscated by Albert's men on Charlie Wade's orders, preventing him from using his phone or the internet.
Wendy couldn't reach him. She mumbled, confused, "What happened? His phone's off. They just solved Kenneth's problem!"
Lady Wilson said, "Maybe his battery died. Try again later."
News of the Weaver family's turmoil spread like wildfire. Jordan and Jeffrey were sent to Mount Golmin, apparently having offended powerful people. No one knew who.
Chapter 519
Lady Wilson despaired. She faced bankruptcy and losing her villa. She remembered Christopher's money and asked, "Chris, how much money do you have?"
Christopher panicked, "Mom, just a few millionโฆ"
Lady Wilson was furious. "A few million? Kenneth gave Wendy five million! Where did your money go?"
Christopher admitted he had little left after supporting his siblings and his own spending habits.
"Invest whatever you have in the company," she commanded.
"Mom, I put all my money in fixed deposits. I can't withdraw it now!"
Lady Wilson roared, "You want to keep the money for yourself? If the Wilson family crumbles, do you think you can live well?"
Christopher agreed to withdraw the money, losing the interest.
Lady Wilson planned to use his money to buy time with creditors and negotiate an installment plan. Otherwise, her villa would be seized.
Christopher reluctantly agreed, but he and Hannah secretly planned to use the money to buy a house, using the purchase contract to show his mother that heโd spent it.
Chapter 520
Christopher and Hannah bought a house to avoid giving the money to his mother.
The downfall of the Weaver family served as a harsh lesson: Those at the top could crush those below. Jordan and Jeffrey were sent to Mount Golmin. Liam Weaver, Jordan's illegitimate son, unexpectedly became the head of the family and the chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals, backed by powerful families.
He had previously been bullied, but now people brought gifts and apologized, hoping for forgiveness. Liam, however, remembered Charlie Wade's advice and treated them kindly, seeing his past hardships as a test that led him to where he was now. He focused on managing the company and repaying Charlie Wade's favor.
