The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 671-675

Chapter 671

Lord Moore was ecstatic upon receiving the Rejuvenating Pill, eager to swallow it immediately. He’d witnessed its miraculous effect on Anthony and feared damaging it while holding it. His only assurance was to consume it.

Following Charlie Wade's instructions, Lord Moore gratefully nodded. "Okay, Master Wade, I'll take it now!"

He carefully placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. As it dissolved, a wave of warmth surged through his limbs and veins, revitalizing every cell. He felt like a teenager again, youthful and energetic.

Like Anthony, Lord Moore felt his body rejuvenated, glowing with a long-lost youthfulness. Decades-old wounds and ailments gradually vanished; wrinkles smoothed, his skin tightened. He even felt new hair growth on his scalp.

Astonishing physical and internal changes unfolded before everyone's eyes. He straightened from his initial crouched posture, his hair beginning to darken. The wrinkles on his face visibly faded; his spirit and energy were dramatically different. Previously appearing eighty, he now looked no older than sixty—even middle-aged, with vibrant eyes.

Those who had dismissed the Rejuvenating Pill were stunned by Lord Moore's incredible transformation. No one had witnessed such a miracle, including Jasmine, who was completely taken aback.

The frail old man had become a gray-haired middle-aged man. This reminded Jasmine of her grandfather holding her a decade ago, after her father's death, comforting her. He'd been in his sixties then, and now looked almost the same. His biological clock had been reversed! His lifespan might be extended by ten years—possibly to one hundred!

Overwhelmed with joy, Jasmine burst into tears. The rest of the Moore family, however, hadn't genuinely grieved for her father; their outward mourning masked their inner celebration at removing a competitor in their inheritance battles. Her grandfather was her only truly caring relative, and she desperately hoped for his long life. He'd once confessed his regret at not walking her down the aisle. He worried deeply about her, his beloved and most filial grandchild, orphaned at a young age, and feared her loneliness after his death. He longed to see her happily married to a loving, capable man who could protect her, a wish he could now rest assured of fulfilling.

Now, not only could he walk her down the aisle, but he could also see her family grow, enjoying the happiness of four generations. This thought led Jasmine's gaze to Charlie Wade.

Chapter 672

Charlie Wade was Jasmine's ideal partner, but would he reciprocate her feelings? Would he leave his loveless marriage for her? Jasmine worried.

Meanwhile, the crowd erupted in excited cheers, witnessing Lord Moore's extraordinary transformation.

"How… how is it possible? How did Lord Moore become so young?" "Oh my goodness, is this the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill?" "A pill that can make someone ten years younger! This is magic!" "Master Wade is truly a dragon!" "I… I want the pill too…" "Me too… I'll pay 10 million!" "One million? I'll pay 100 million!" "Damn it! I'll pay 200 million!"

Deafening astonishment filled the hall. Without witnessing it firsthand, no one would believe in a literal rejuvenation pill. Such miracles belonged to television and film, not reality.

The guests, mostly successful men in their forties, fifties, and beyond, felt the despair of aging: wrinkles, physical decline, backaches, knee pain, muscle strains, hair loss, obesity, sleep disturbances, and sexual deterioration. They yearned for their youthful vigor. Most had lacked wealth in their youth and now, with wealth, lacked health. Few were as fortunate as Donald, born wealthy and strong. Many had missed opportunities with women in their youth, only to find their physical capabilities waning with their rising success. They'd given up hope of possessing both wealth and youth, wishing for a better next life. Lord Moore's miracle ignited a flame of hope within them.

Even Donald, on his tiptoes, watched in awe. His youth had been filled with wealth, energy, and countless beauties; a life of scandalous flirtation, comparable to David Beckham's popularity. But that was the past. His virility had diminished, and he yearned for those carefree days. His hatred for Charlie Wade was replaced by eagerness and expectation. He approached Charlie Wade, bowing respectfully. "Master Wade, do you have more Rejuvenating Pills? I'll pay 500 million dollars!"

Chapter 673

No one expected Donald's rapid shift, especially Sean.

"Dad! Why are you being so polite to this useless son-in-law? He called our family garbage!"

Donald snapped, "Bastard! Shut up!" Much remained unsaid. Sean, in his twenties, possessed the peak physical strength that allowed him to party all night, a reality beyond Donald's comprehension. Sean, like a man who had always eaten well, could not understand the desperation of hunger.

Donald, though not old, felt his body's decline. He possessed wealth, status, and power, but not his youth. Lord Moore's transformation ignited an intense desire. He would pay five hundred million, even five billion, for such a miracle.

Sean, scolded by his father, dared not retort, fearing public humiliation, particularly with Jasmine's ridicule.

Donald, noticing Charlie Wade's lack of response, yelled at Sean, "Apologize to Master Wade!"

"Dad, are you serious?"

"Yes! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

Sean was mortified, particularly with Jasmine's mocking gaze.

"Even if you kill me, I'll never apologize to that pathetic jerk!" Sean stormed off.

Donald was furious. He knew his son's inability to adapt and the necessity of humility, even kneeling, in the face of opportunity. The Rejuvenating Pill was an opportunity he could not miss. His son's pride was insignificant compared to this chance. As he prepared to stop Sean, Charlie Wade spoke calmly.

"Mr. Webb, forcing an apology is pointless. A forced apology isn't acceptable."

He turned his attention to Lord Moore. "Lord Moore, this pill extends your life by at least ten years. You'll easily live to one hundred. Remember to invite me to your centenary celebration!"

Overwhelmed, Lord Moore knelt, tearfully thanking Charlie Wade.

Charlie Wade smiled. "Thank Jasmine. Without her, I wouldn't have met you or given you this pill. Remember to treat her well."

Jasmine trembled; this was a significant gift, ensuring her inheritance of the Moore family.

Chapter 674

Jasmine felt an overwhelming gratitude and intensified feelings for Charlie Wade, believing she could never repay him.

Reuben seethed with anger, blaming Charlie Wade for prolonging Lord Moore's life and giving Jasmine the credit. However, he suppressed his resentment.

Lord Moore repeatedly assured Charlie Wade of his gratitude and kowtowed again. Charlie Wade allowed this, believing it was only right, given the invaluable gift of an extended lifespan. An ordinary man's god could not offer ten more years, but Charlie Wade could.

The Moore sons, Tyler, followed by his brothers, knelt and kowtowed, expressing their gratitude. Reuben and Jasmine followed suit, Reuben despite his anger. Jasmine looked at Charlie Wade with complex emotions: gratitude, admiration, affection, and awe. The remaining grandchildren and family members also knelt.

Lord Moore, meant to be the honored guest, instead watched as his entire family—from the eldest to the youngest—knelt before Charlie Wade. This astonished the other guests. The most powerful family in Aurouss Hill knelt before Charlie Wade. No one found shame in this; many felt envy and jealousy.

Chapter 675

Donald felt intense jealousy towards Lord Moore. He would have seized the pill regardless of the cost. He regretted offending Charlie Wade, his previous plan to have Charlie Wade killed to benefit Sean's pursuit of Jasmine now insignificant compared to acquiring the Rejuvenating Pill.

He used the opportunity of the Moore family kneeling to retrieve his son, Sean.

Sean angrily protested Donald's demand for an apology, even kowtowing, to Charlie Wade, fearing it would ruin his chances with Jasmine.

Donald countered that obtaining the Rejuvenating Pill was paramount, dismissing Sean's concerns about marrying Jasmine. Sean questioned his father's sudden change of heart, mentioning their plans to kill Don Albertt and Charlie Wade.

Donald explained his strategy: securing the valuable treasure before destroying the mountain. Sean understood: acquire the pills before eliminating Charlie Wade and Don Albertt. Donald believed Charlie Wade possessed more pills and that securing them would guarantee the Webb family's prosperity for a century. He planned on eliminating Don Albertt, Charlie Wade, and their supporters, and subjugating the Moore family, forcing them to accept Sean and Jasmine's union under the threat of violence if they refused. But first, Sean had to obey.
