The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 766-770

Chapter 766

"Huh?!" Elaine Ma exclaimed in surprise. "A big boss wants you to do feng shui?"

"Yes," Charlie Wade nodded. "I'll go at noon."

"Great!" Elaine Ma's excitement was evident. "Hurry! Get as much money as possible—enough to buy all our furniture at once!"

Charlie Wade replied, "I'll do my best."

In reality, Charlie Wade had a plan. He withdrew two million, claiming it was payment for a feng shui consultation, and intended to use it to buy furniture. He couldn't bear his wife living in their dilapidated house, separated from Elaine Ma by a thin wall and sharing a bathroom. Moving to a villa would allow his wife to have the first floor, with Elaine Ma and Jacob Wilson on the second, creating much-needed space.

Therefore, he feigned a feng shui appointment. After dinner with Lord Moore, he went to the bank, opened a new account, transferred two million, and planned to give the money to his wife—or Jacob Wilson. Certainly not Elaine Ma, a notorious spendthrift who would likely squander it on beauty treatments.

At eleven o'clock, Jasmine left the community. She respectfully called Charlie Wade to inform him of her arrival. He went downstairs. At the community gate, Jasmine opened the car door for him. Once inside, she said, "Master Wade, Grandpa is waiting for you at Heaven Springs. Let's go."

"Okay," Charlie Wade nodded, smiling. "Thank you for picking me up."

Jasmine blushed, shyly replying, "It's my pleasure, Master Wade."

Charlie Wade smiled faintly.

At Heaven Springs, Lord Moore, accompanied by two bodyguards, entered. He'd invited Charlie Wade to dinner, bringing only Jasmine, besides his report.

Upon hearing of Lord Moore's arrival, Don Albertt rushed to greet him respectfully. "Lord Moore, I apologize. The person guarding the diamond box was unable to meet you promptly."

Lord Moore, upon seeing Don Albertt, was surprised. Don Albertt appeared much younger than at yesterday's birthday party! Could he have also received Master Wade's Rejuvenation Pill? Lord Moore trembled, asking, "Don Albertt did you receive Master Wade's Rejuvenation Pill?!"

Don Albertt nodded, assisting Lord Moore. He whispered, "Lord Moore, the Webb family attacked Heaven Springs last night, injuring over a dozen security guards. Master Wade saved me and gave me a Rejuvenation Pill. Otherwise, I'd be as good as dead."

Lord Moore asked, astonished, "What happened? I heard nothing about this."

Don Albertt sighed. "After yesterday's banquet, Master Wade mentioned his father-in-law would host a banquet at Heaven Springs. Marcus and his son, with five bodyguards, attacked, nearly killing me and Master Wade's father-in-law. Their real target was Master Wade!"

"What?!" Lord Moore, preoccupied with the Rejuvenation Pill's effects, hadn't been aware of these events. The Moore family was similarly divided in their attention—Jasmine was joyous, but Theodore, Rueben, and his son were worried.

Hearing about Donald's attempt to kill Master Wade, Lord Moore was furious. "Damn the Webb family!" He immediately instructed a bodyguard, "Announce that if the Webb family harms Master Wade, the Moore family will fight them to the bitter end!"

Chapter 767

Before Charlie Wade arrived at Heaven Springs, the Moore family's declaration had spread throughout Aurouss Hill and the Southaven upper class. No one expected the Moore family, Aurouss Hill's leading family, to openly defy the Webb family, the Yangtze River Delta's most powerful family.

Theodore, Rueben, and his son were shocked. What possessed Lord Moore? While private resentment towards Donald existed after yesterday's banquet, an open challenge to the Webb family meant a complete break, possibly a deadly feud! They questioned the old man's motives. Even if seeking favor with Charlie Wade, there was no need to provoke the Webb family; future repercussions were certain. Moreover, this act could jeopardize Jasmine and Sean's relationship.

The Webb family was enraged. Already struggling, Lord Moore's declaration only exacerbated their problems. Lord Webb remained hospitalized, Donald ordering the family to withhold the Moore family's statement from him. He chose to ignore them for the time being.

The Webb family's reputation had taken a significant hit. Although still the Yangtze River Delta's leading family, their offense against the Wade family of Eastcliff had caused widespread repercussions. Previously, the public only knew of the Webb family's offense, evidenced by Facebook's humiliating posts. The Wade family's acquisition of Facebook revealed the Webb family's transgression.

Families previously aligned with the Webb family distanced themselves, fearing the Wade family's power. The Webb family, suddenly on the defensive, experienced a weakening of their overall strength. They lacked the energy to confront the Moore family, with the greater threat of Charlie Wade looming.

Jasmine drove to Heaven Springs, where Don Albertt greeted her. Seeing Charlie Wade and Jasmine, he admired them as a perfect match. He respectfully invited them to the diamond box, where Lord Moore awaited.

Lord Moore stood and bowed upon seeing Charlie Wade. "Master Wade, please take the seat of honor."

Charlie Wade smiled. "Lord Moore, as the elder, you should have the seat of honor."

"Master Wade," Lord Moore insisted, "You are the true dragon in the Moore family's eyes. The seat of honor is yours."

Chapter 768

Jasmine added, "Master Wade, Grandpa greatly respects you."

Charlie Wade, after some hesitation, accepted the seat of honor. Don Albertt discreetly left.

Lord Moore, producing a golden bank card, presented it to Charlie Wade respectfully. "Master Wade, I'm eternally grateful for your generosity yesterday. I've prepared this card for you—one billion in cash—as a token of my gratitude. Please accept it."

Charlie Wade glanced at the card. "Lord Moore, I don't need the money. Please keep it."

Lord Moore persisted, mentioning Charlie Wade's purchase of the 300-year-old ginseng. He insisted the money would be useful for future medicinal purchases.

In reality, Lord Moore was somewhat selfish. Believing Charlie Wade's ability to create Rejuvenation Pills, he hoped a financial contribution might lead to more potent medicines for himself.

He knelt, offering the card. "Master Wade, please accept it, or I shall remain kneeling."

Charlie Wade helped him up. "In that case, I will accept it."

Overjoyed, Lord Moore pledged continued support. He then revealed the password: Jasmine's birthday, 951201.

Charlie Wade asked Jasmine, "Jasmine, is your birthday December 1st?"

Jasmine confirmed this, nervously asking if Charlie Wade could attend her birthday dinner.

Charlie Wade agreed, asking for the location.

Jasmine was overjoyed. Charlie Wade suggested they be less formal given their similar age.

Chapter 769

After dinner, Charlie Wade declined a ride home, bidding farewell to Jasmine and Lord Moore. He went to a nearby Construction Bank, transferring 998 million to his account, leaving two million in the card Lord Moore had given him.

At home, Jacob Wilson and Elaine Ma had just finished takeout.

Elaine Ma immediately asked, "Charlie, how was the feng shui consultation? Did you make any money?"

Charlie Wade calmly replied, "A little."

"How much?" Elaine Ma demanded. "Give me all the money!"

Charlie Wade produced his bank card. "There are two million on this card."

"Two million?!" Elaine Ma's eyes widened. She eagerly grabbed the card, suspecting a lie.

Charlie Wade confirmed the balance.

Elaine Ma, overjoyed at the prospect of beauty treatments, mahjong games, and Thompson First Villa, examined the card. "Is there a password?"

Charlie Wade was about to reveal it when he reconsidered. Yesterday, Elaine Ma had stated Jacob Wilson would manage the money.

He turned to Jacob Wilson. "Dad, you're managing the finances now, aren't you?"

Jacob Wilson, realizing his role, asked Elaine Ma for the card. Elaine Ma hesitated, claiming she was only verifying the amount.

Jacob Wilson firmly stated she would no longer manage the finances, threatening divorce if she insisted.

Elaine Ma, realizing she couldn't access the money without the password, reluctantly handed the card over.

Chapter 770

Charlie Wade ignored Elaine Ma's glare, turning back to Jacob Wilson. "Dad, use this for furniture and appliances. We'll move in as soon as possible."

Jacob Wilson, carefully pocketing the card, asked for the password. Charlie Wade promised to send it via WeChat.

Elaine Ma was furious that Charlie Wade wouldn't reveal the password in front of her.

Charlie Wade was indeed protecting the money from Elaine Ma's lack of financial responsibility.

Jacob Wilson left for the bank, receiving the password shortly before arrival. He confirmed the two million balance. Amazed by Charlie Wade's success, he transferred the money to his account.

He received a WeChat message from Charlie Wade reminding him to change his phone, banking, and payment passwords. He immediately changed them.

Upon returning home, Elaine Ma eagerly asked about the money. Jacob Wilson proudly confirmed the transfer, dismissing Elaine Ma's request for money for a spa treatment. He refused, stating her past beauty salon habits proved her unreliability. Elaine Ma reacted angrily, and Jacob Wilson threatened divorce.
