The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 681-685

Chapter 681

Donald watched Charlie Wade swallow the rejuvenation pill, stunned. Then, rage consumed him. He realized Charlie had manipulated him from the start, never intending to sell the pill but aiming to publicly humiliate him and his son. Donald had foolishly believed that his billion-dollar offer would secure the pill, requiring only an apology.

The realization that he'd been so thoroughly played, coupled with his son's maimed hand, nearly drove Donald mad. He leaped up, shouting, "Charlie Wade, I swear I'll kill you!" He immediately called his bodyguards, elite ex-military operatives, each a top-tier assassin. These were not ordinary men; they were survivors of countless deadly encounters.

Charlie remained calm, unfazed. The rejuvenation pill—one of several he'd already consumed—was coursing heat through him. While not fully rejuvenating, it significantly boosted his physical fitness. He was brimming with energy, ready to deal with any aggression from the Webb family's bodyguards.

Before they could act, however, Lord Moore intervened, rising angrily. "Donald! My Moore family isn't easily intimidated. We'll see how your Webb family dares to harm my guests!" He ordered his men to surround the hall, threatening to kill anyone who touched Charlie.

Donald, furious, confronted Lord Moore: "He used my family as fools and crippled my son. You'd protect him? Is the Moore family openly defying us?"

Lord Moore coldly replied, "Master Wade is Moore's benefactor. To oppose him is to oppose my family."

Donald, seething, retorted, "Your Moore family thinks it's above the Webb family! You think you can lord it over us here?"

Lord Moore responded haughtily, "The Moore family wouldn't stoop to such behavior, but anyone harming our benefactor on our property will face our wrath." His outburst silenced the room. His years of experience, coupled with the effects of the rejuvenation pill, imbued him with an undeniable presence.

Donald was apprehensive. He'd brought few bodyguards; even master assassins stood little chance against the Moore family's forces, especially on their home turf. A full-scale conflict would be disastrous. While his top bodyguards might fight their way out, he and his son were vulnerable. The Webb family's strength lay in Eastcliff; they couldn't easily assist him here.

Donald decided to retreat. "Uncle Moore, you're choosing a feud with the Webb family? Fine! We sever ties; the Moore and Webb families are enemies from this day forward!"

Chapter 682

Rueben, fearing the consequences, pleaded with Lord Moore to reconsider. He desired a marriage alliance with the Webb family, a now impossible dream.

Lord Moore dismissed his concerns. "The Webb family is powerful, but the Moore family can't be bullied. Our families are officially estranged!"

The room was stunned. A birthday banquet had triggered a devastating rift between Eastcliff's Webb family and Aurouss Hill's Moore family. Aurouss Hill's future seemed uncertain.

Donald, glaring at Lord Moore and Charlie, declared, "I remember this, Moore family, and you, Wade! We'll meet again! Sean, let's go!"

Charlie calmly asked, "Do you think this is over?"

Donald, menacingly, challenged, "What do you want, Wade?"

Charlie demanded compensation for the damage to Dr. Simmons' shop and an apology. He issued an ultimatum: tenfold compensation and a public apology within three days, or he'd cripple Sean further.

Donald, enraged, threatened Charlie, referencing the Webb family's influence.

Charlie scoffed, "The Webb family is insignificant to me. Leave Aurouss Hill after paying Dr. Simmons; otherwise, you and your son won't survive."

Donald, despite his murderous intent, held back, aware of Lord Moore's power. He considered Charlie a dead man, but the time wasn't right. He would plan his revenge, perhaps mobilizing the Webb family's full might against Charlie and the Moores. He left with Sean.

Rueben observed their departure, then Jasmine and Charlie, a simmering resentment building within him. He'd lost, his grandfather's extended lifespan attributed to Charlie, and the Moore family now openly opposed the Webbs. He feared Jasmine would be named the next heir, leaving him with nothing.

Chapter 683

Donald and Sean left the Moore villa, seething. Sean lamented his broken hand and his public humiliation. Donald vowed revenge. Sean suggested killing Charlie that night.

Donald proposed sticking to their original plan: eliminating Don Albertt first to weaken his forces before targeting Charlie and the Moores. Sean eagerly awaited his father's strategy.

They encountered Mr. Lloyd, who had been waiting outside. Upon seeing Sean's injured hand, Lloyd quickly inquired about the situation. Sean furiously blamed Charlie.

Sean had intended to use the banquet to humiliate Charlie, hoping to win Jasmine. Instead, he and his father suffered a crushing defeat, becoming the subject of ridicule. Mr. Lloyd was shocked by Charlie's audacity.

Donald vowed revenge, promising to ensure Charlie's death.

Chapter 684

Sean asked why his father wasn't accompanying him to the hospital. Donald explained he had other matters to attend to, including securing alternative lodgings and visiting Cameron Isaac of Shangri-La Hotel, an important contact. Sean questioned the priority of visiting a “dog” of the Eastcliff Wade family over his broken hand.

Donald explained the strategic importance of the Wade family's influence, stating the Webb family was merely a regional power compared to the powerful Wade family. He intended to use this opportunity to forge an alliance.

Sean understood and agreed to meet his father later at Shangri-La. Donald left for Shangri-La, taking his most prized possession: a rare, high-value Dahongpao tea, intending to gift it to Cameron Isaac.

He arrived and informed the reception desk of his arrival and his purpose.

Chapter 685

Cameron Isaac, unaware of the conflict, received Donald warmly. Upon recalling Kian's actions, he involuntarily retched, causing Donald considerable embarrassment.

Donald shifted the conversation, gifting Cameron Isaac the rare Dahongpao tea. Cameron initially refused, but Donald insisted, highlighting his desire for cooperation with the Wade family.

Cameron accepted the gift, offering Donald some of his own fine liquor in return. He questioned Donald’s true reason for visiting.

Donald explained his son's situation and his intention to secure lodgings for himself and his son at Shangri-La. Cameron happily agreed, offering them a presidential suite.
