The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 846

Elaine Ma knew this was a threat. As long as she ate, even if she merely reached for her food, she'd likely suffer.

So she cried and pleaded, “Sister, you beat and scolded me yesterday. Please be merciful and forgive me…”

Gena raised her eyebrows and asked, “I can spare you, but who can bring my dead mother back to life? Do you know how miserable she was, drinking pesticide and finally lying breathless and suffocating in a hospital bed?”

Elaine Ma burst into tears. “Sister, I know you’re a filial daughter, but I haven’t harmed your mother…”

Gena said angrily, “You still dare to talk nonsense? My mother was killed by an unfilial daughter-in-law! I feel sick when I see someone like you! You should be glad this isn’t ancient society; otherwise, I’d have you chopped up!”

Lady Wilson hummed triumphantly, “Gena, you’re so right! In ancient times, this woman would have been drowned in a pig cage—a bamboo cage weighted down with rocks and thrown into a river!”

Terrified, Elaine Ma remained silent, not daring to eat. She stood before Gena, head bowed, like a child who had misbehaved.

Gena finished her porridge, using the last piece of steamed bread to wipe the bowl clean, then ate the remaining bits in one bite. Afterwards, she declared intently, “Oh, I don’t seem to be full.”

A female prisoner pointed to a plastic basket. “Sister Gena, isn’t there another portion in there? You can eat that too!”

Gena smiled at Elaine Ma, then grinned. “Oh, Elaine Ma, I have breakfast for you. Are you okay with that?”

Elaine Ma dared not speak, only nodding vigorously.

Gena smiled. “I’m fine. I exercise a lot and have a big appetite. Beating you yesterday took a lot of energy, so I need to replenish myself today.”

She walked to the basket, took out a lunch box, and ate, deliberately making loud slurping noises to torment Elaine Ma, whose stomach began to churn.

Gena finished the steamed buns and about a third of the porridge, then deliberately knocked the lunch box to the floor, spilling the porridge.

Gena sighed, annoyed. “Why did it spill? What a waste…”

She waved to Elaine Ma. “Go get a mop and clean this up.”

Elaine Ma, who had never appreciated food, was distressed by the wasted porridge. Seeing her staring at it, Gena smiled. “Elaine Ma, if you’re hungry, you can kneel and lick it up.”

Elaine Ma felt wronged and despairing. Kneeling to lick porridge from a dirty floor countless people had walked on? No way!

“I’ll mop it up,” she said hastily.

Gena sneered. “Whatever. But you’ll lick it up sooner or later. We’ll just wait and see!”

The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 847

A little after eight o’clock, Charlie Wade drove, taking Jacob Wilson to the airport. Jacob couldn’t wait; his flight was still more than two hours away. He hurriedly asked Charlie, “Good son-in-law, where can I buy flowers? I want to buy roses.”

Charlie Wade said, “Dad, you’re meeting him and his son. Roses might not be appropriate.”

Jacob Wilson considered this, nodding. “You’re right. Just some ordinary flowers then.”

Charlie Wade said, “I know a flower shop nearby. Let’s go.”

At the shop, Charlie Wade spent five hundred dollars on a bouquet symbolizing friendship.

Holding the bouquet, Jacob Wilson beamed. “This florist’s work is impressive! Matilda will love this!”

Charlie Wade smiled, thinking his father-in-law was experiencing a second spring. If Matilda felt the same, they might get together. He felt a little sympathy for the old man though. He couldn’t let Elaine Ma disappear, and once she's released, Jacob’s peaceful days would end. Elaine Ma's reaction to Matilda’s return would likely cause further unhappiness.

He didn’t tell his father this. Let him enjoy his freedom before Elaine Ma's release.

Jacob Wilson asked, “Oh yes, Charlie Wade, did you book a place at the Shangri-La?”

“It’s booked,” Charlie Wade nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you and Matilda today.”

“That’s good!” Jacob Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, examining his flowers. He sniffed a rose. “This scent! So refreshing!” He hummed an old song, “Rose, rose, I love you; rose, rose, my love is deep…”

Charlie Wade shook his head, thinking of his own recent depression.

At the airport, they waited in the arrival hall. Jacob Wilson scanned the arrival board, finally finding Matilda’s flight. The flight was due at 10:20, with an estimated arrival time of around 11:00, allowing for customs.

Jacob Wilson, excited, didn’t mind the wait. Five minutes before eleven, a group of people emerged. Jacob Wilson, holding his flowers, watched eagerly. He spotted a middle-aged woman in black, waving excitedly, “Matilda!”

The woman was surprised. “Oh my God, Jacob Wilson!” She hurried towards him.

Charlie Wade, curious to see Jacob’s first love, was shocked. Matilda, also 48, looked far younger. Tall, slender, with well-maintained skin, she wore a long black dress, appearing regal.

The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 848

Her appearance was impeccable—beautiful, elegant, and possessing the intellectual air of a previous generation. She was even more beautiful than actress Kelly Hu! Matilda, three years younger than Kelly Hu, appeared six or seven years younger still! She looked like a woman in her thirties, not nearly fifty.

Charlie Wade was stunned. He hadn’t expected such an impeccable beauty. He imagined she must have been breathtaking in her youth!

Charlie Wade envied Jacob Wilson, who’d lost such a woman because of Elaine Ma—a monumental loss!

Jacob Wilson felt even more sympathy for himself. Why did time seem to pass Matilda by? Why was she still so stunning after twenty years?

Matilda smiled gently, “Jacob Wilson, I didn’t expect to see you after all these years!”

Jacob Wilson, nervous, stammered, “Yes, Matilda, I didn’t expect… so many years!”

Charlie Wade reminded him, “Dad, give her the flowers!”

Jacob Wilson, handing the flowers, said nervously, “Matilda, these… these flowers are for you. Welcome back to Aurous Hill!”

Matilda took the flowers, gazing at Jacob Wilson. “Jacob Wilson, thank you!”

Jacob Wilson, unsure where to put his hands, fidgeted nervously.

A tall, handsome blond young man approached, carrying luggage. He looked like a mix of Asian and European features. He smiled, “Mom, is this your college classmate?”

Matilda introduced him. “Jacob Wilson, this is my son, Paul.”

Jacob Wilson shook Paul’s hand. “Paul, hello! Your Chinese is excellent!”

Paul laughed. “Uncle, you’re too kind. I’m an American citizen, but my mother taught me Chinese from a young age.”

Jacob Wilson introduced Charlie Wade. “Matilda, Paul, this is my son-in-law, Charlie Wade.”

Paul shook Charlie Wade’s hand. “Hello, Mr. Wade!”

The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 849

Paul’s Chinese was impeccable. Charlie Wade was impressed. He shook Paul's hand, complimenting his fluency.

Jacob Wilson said, “Matilda, I’ve booked a box at the Shangri-La Hotel. Let’s have a meal, to welcome you and your son.”

Matilda smiled. “Thank you so much, Jacob Wilson, and son-in-law, for picking us up and inviting us to dinner…”

“It’s my pleasure!” Jacob Wilson, eager to get going, said, “We’re already here, let’s go directly!”

“Okay,” Matilda nodded. “Son, tell your driver we’ll take Uncle Wilson’s car.”

Paul said, “Okay, Mom. I’ll call the driver to send the luggage to the hotel.”

Jacob Wilson asked Matilda, “Matilda, did you arrange a driver in China?”

Matilda nodded. “After Paul’s father passed away, I wanted to return to settle here. Paul didn’t want to abandon his father’s company, so he started transferring the business here six months ago.”

Jacob Wilson was surprised. “You transferred all the businesses to China?”

“Yes,” Matilda said. “But I don’t participate much; Paul handles it.”

Jacob Wilson felt inferior. Matilda’s business success contrasted sharply with his current poverty. Would she look down on him?

Charlie Wade, noticing Jacob Wilson’s discomfort, understood his feelings but didn’t comment.

Paul finished his call. “Mom, Uncle Wilson, Brother Charlie Wade, I’ve told the driver, let’s go.”

“Okay,” Charlie Wade said.

A new Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up. A foreigner exited, addressing Paul respectfully in English, “Hello, General Manager!”

The Amazing Son-in-Law Chapter 850

Paul nodded. The driver addressed Matilda, “Hello, Chairman.”

Matilda nodded and smiled. “Mike, send my luggage to Shangri-La and have it delivered to our rooms.”

The driver nodded. “Chairman, won’t you and the General Manager be riding in this car?”

Matilda nodded. “I'll go with my old classmate. You go first.”

Jacob Wilson, uneasy, looked at the luxurious Rolls-Royce. He felt inferior.

He said to Matilda, “Matilda, you should take this Rolls Royce. My car isn’t suitable; I’m afraid you’ll be uncomfortable.”

Matilda said seriously, “Jacob Wilson, do you think I’m vain?”

Jacob Wilson was embarrassed. “My car is just a BMW 5 Series… I’m afraid it’ll be a downgrade for you…”

Matilda was slightly angry. “Jacob Wilson, why do you care about such things? Rolls-Royce, BMW 5 Series, even a bicycle—they’re all transportation! Even if you were riding a bicycle, I’d be happy to ride along. But I guess it’s a bit hard for you to ride a bicycle at your age now?”

Jacob Wilson felt relieved. He feared Matilda wouldn't be comfortable in his BMW.

However, Paul quietly said to Matilda in English, “Mom, perhaps you should take this car. The BMW 5 Series is uncomfortable; I’m afraid you won’t adapt.”

Matilda waved her hand. “When you see my old classmates, don’t use this car. Ask if the company has a more common vehicle like a Buick GL8, a car worth two or three hundred thousand dollars. I don’t want to seem distant after all these years.”

Paul reluctantly said, “The company doesn’t have such inexpensive cars. The most common vehicles are Toyota Alphards worth over a million dollars…”

Matilda said, “Then buy a car worth two or three hundred thousand dollars.”

Paul nodded. “Fine, I’ll arrange it.”

He told the driver, “Go buy a Buick GL8.”

The driver was surprised. “General Manager, our company doesn’t have such low-end cars.”

Paul said, “It’s fine; just go buy one.”

Charlie Wade admired Matilda’s high emotional intelligence. This woman was even more captivating than any goddess. He sensed Jacob Wilson would soon fall completely for her.
