The Amazing Son in Law: Chapters 541-545

Chapter 541

Reuben, silent for a long time, coldly observed his sister Jasmine and the Webb family—father and son—whose interest in her was evident. A surge of excitement coursed through him. Jasmine marrying into the Webb family would be ideal; it would remove her as a rival for the Moore family inheritance, securing his position as sole heir. However, he feared Jasmine's potential union with Charlie Wade, whose true identity and status remained unknown to Reuben, except for his grandfather's profound respect, seemingly stemming from supernatural abilities. Charlie marrying into the Moore family would be disastrous for Reuben. Jasmine was already his biggest competitor; a marriage to Charlie would only solidify her position. Worse, if Jasmine fulfilled his grandfather's wish for Charlie to join the family, their favor would shift entirely to them, leaving Reuben with nothing. Therefore, he needed to prevent Jasmine's relationship with Charlie and ensure her marriage to a Webb. His plan: persuade his grandfather and Jasmine to accept the Webb family's proposal.

Jasmine, unaware of the Webb's intentions, politely excused herself and Reuben with the lateness of the hour. Donald and Sean escorted them downstairs, watching as they drove away. Donald sighed, "Jasmine is truly a wonderful girl!" Sean agreed, noting her increased beauty. Donald added, "Beauty aside, family background, education, and temperament are paramount. Jasmine excels in all. Marrying her would be excellent." Sean requested his father's help in convincing Jasmine's grandfather. Donald was confident, believing Lord Moore would approve; the Webb family was a perfect match. He envisioned a wedding within a month. Sean, thrilled, hoped for a wedding that year, completely oblivious to his brother Kian's plight.

Back at the ward, Kian was again losing control. Nurses brought in his sterilized "meal," feeding him before performing gastric lavage. Donald briefly checked on Kian, returning with a grim expression; Sean didn't bother entering, instead browsing Jasmine's social media. He hadn't paid much attention to her in years, but seeing her reignited his desires.

Sean intensely scrolled through Jasmine's social media, finding her flawless. He vowed to win her, no matter the cost. En route to the Moore mansion, Reuben tentatively mentioned Sean's interest in Jasmine. Her flat "Oh" surprised him. He pressed, questioning her indifference. Jasmine retorted, "He means nothing to me. Must I feign excitement?" Reuben pointed out Sean's handsomeness and the Webb family's influence, stressing the benefits to the Moore family. Jasmine remained unmoved, stating she wouldn't be with someone she didn't love, even if he were the richest man alive. Reuben, shocked, directly asked if she loved Charlie Wade. Embarrassed, she couldn't answer. Reuben argued against Charlie, highlighting his marital status and Jasmine's superior eligibility. Jasmine brushed him off, stating she'd handle her affairs. Reuben, exasperated, pleaded with her to consider a suitable, unmarried man, emphasizing Charlie's perceived worthlessness. Jasmine defended Charlie, claiming he was not as Reuben perceived him. Reuben scoffed at this, dismissing Charlie's skills as mere medicine-making. Jasmine countered, asserting that Charlie was a master, far different from the public's perception. Reuben’s sarcasm prompted Jasmine to view him as foolish. He, however, felt it was time for Jasmine and their grandfather to see Charlie's "true colors." He mused about Sean needing to somehow outmaneuver Charlie.

Chapter 543

Anthony, at the Serene World Clinic, stared at the Rejuvenating Pill Charlie Wade had given him, questioning the fantastical claim of ten years' youth and lifespan extension. While acknowledging Charlie's abilities, he initially found the effect unbelievable. However, his faith in Charlie's word outweighed his doubts. He swallowed the pill; it dissolved instantly, leaving a sweet taste. A warm current enveloped him, energy coursing through his body. Tightness in his face, itching scalp, and warmth in his joints preceded a feeling of complete rebirth. He looked in the mirror, shocked by his transformation: tighter skin, black hair replacing grey, a straighter posture, improved joints. His pulse and breathing had vastly improved. He felt like he had been rejuvenated, essentially going back ten years in his seventies. He was overcome with shock and excitement, realizing Charlie had, in effect, turned back his body's clock twice, extending his life considerably. Overjoyed, he texted Charlie his gratitude and promised his loyalty. Charlie replied simply, advising secrecy, except to Xyla, given the rarity of the pill's ingredients.

Anthony considered the value of such a miracle cure—millions, even billions—would be paid by wealthy elders eager to reclaim their youth. Money was secondary to longevity. He wept with joy and texted Charlie his thanks, promising continued loyalty. Charlie cautioned secrecy, except to Xyla, highlighting the rare ingredients of the pill (300-year-old purple ginseng). Anthony then summoned his granddaughter, Xyla, who was stunned by his youthful appearance. He explained the Rejuvenating Pill's effects, confirming Charlie Wade's extraordinary abilities. Xyla was amazed. Anthony then showed her the remaining half-pill from a previous miracle cure and another full pill given to him by Charlie Wade for refusing Kenneth’s treatment. Intending to share his good fortune, he offered one pill to Xyla, who initially refused, citing his age and greater need. Anthony insisted, wishing to share the blessing.

Chapter 545

Xyla, after some hesitation, accepted the pill, overwhelmed by her grandfather's generosity. Anthony encouraged her to serve Charlie Wade wholeheartedly, assuring her of Charlie’s fair treatment. He explained his decision to travel to Aurouss Hill despite his injuries, driven by a need to help Lord Moore and ultimately, meeting Charlie. Anthony's excitement kept him awake all night. Meanwhile, Lord Moore, though improved by Charlie's intervention and the magical pill, suffered from cold weather-induced coughing and could not sleep. The next morning, he felt dizzy and unwell. He asked his butler, Oscar, to drive him to Anthony's clinic for treatment. Four bodyguards accompanied them. Lord Moore coughed frequently during the short walk from the car, prompting Oscar to suggest Dr. Simmons visit him at home. Lord Moore refused, citing Simmons’s busy schedule and the inappropriateness of requesting his services for a minor ailment. Oscar reminded him of his upcoming eightieth birthday and the importance of rest.
