The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 901-905

Chapter 901

Jacob Wilson subtly mentioned the small forest, hoping to see Matilda blush. Even if she remained calm, the memory of their youthful, ambiguous past would surely cause some embarrassment. He wanted to stir those memories, to rekindle the passion dormant in her heart for over two decades.

Matilda understood his intent. Flustered, she changed the subject, asking, "By the way, how is our old professor doing now?"

Jacob Wilson replied, "He's doing alright, though he has mobility issues. At our last reunion, we invited him to the alma mater to give a lecture."

"Really?" Matilda sighed. "What a shame I missed it!"

Jacob Wilson smiled. "It was a small gathering—mostly male classmates from Aurouss Hill and the surrounding area."

Matilda nodded. "This reunion seems much larger. I contacted several female classmates, and they're all coming."

"That's wonderful," Jacob Wilson said, smiling. "A proper reunion then."

Matilda mentioned, "I heard Aaron Phillips was recently arrested for corruption. He's awaiting trial."

Jacob Wilson's anger flared at the thought of Phillips' past attempts to belittle him. "He deserves it," he said, a smile playing on his lips. "He abused his position. Our professor taught us to be righteous, not just successful. Phillips had his own problems!"

Matilda agreed. Most of their generation's intellectuals possessed strong moral principles. They entered university with a commitment to serving their country. Although Matilda lived in the United States, she remained deeply involved in Chinese affairs, donating generously to disaster relief efforts—a fact unknown to her classmates.

Suddenly, Jacob Wilson's phone rang. It was their university's student union WeChat group, unusually active after days of silence. Messages flooded in:

"Classmates, Matilda's organizing a reunion today! Are you there yet?" "I'm in Aurouss Hill, preparing for the banquet!" "On my way! Still a hundred kilometers to go. I'll be there in an hour and a half!" "Just landed! Flew in specially from Eastcliff!"

Then, a message from Zane Colton: "Jacob Wilson, your first love is back! You old dog don't know, do you?"

Zane, a close friend who'd defended Jacob against Phillips, had always been supportive. Jacob rolled his eyes playfully. "Why wouldn't I know? I'm with Matilda right now, believe it or not?"

Zane sent a voice message: "I believe it! Back then, you two were the perfect match!"

Jacob felt a surge of happiness and sent a laughing voice message in return.

Leah, a female classmate close to Matilda, responded angrily: "Jacob Wilson, you scoundrel! It was you who hurt Matilda! I haven't seen her in years!"

Jacob blushed, remembering his drunken indiscretion with Elaine Ma—a shameful incident known to everyone.

Before he could reply, someone sent a red envelope.

Chapter 902

Jacob instantly opened the red envelope, surprised to find $200! Many classmates had also received $200. A large red envelope, $200 each!

His elation over the unexpected windfall turned to displeasure when he saw the sender's nickname: "I miss that beautiful sunny day."

The group exploded:

"Wow, thank you, boss!" "Yeah! Greyson of Wake Diving! $200 per person is generous." "Boss Greyson's made a fortune. His reputation's well-deserved." "True! A Hong Kong tycoon. This is nothing to him!"

The sender, using a Hong Kong accent, sent a smiling face and a voice message: "Matilda's back from the US! I'm so excited, I sent a red envelope to celebrate." Another red envelope followed.

Jacob, resentful of the sender's apparent obsession with Matilda, reluctantly opened it—another $200. Two envelopes totaled over $10,000!

More compliments flooded the group. "A third round of red envelopes is coming!" Another $200 per person.

Jacob was perplexed. They hadn't had any Hong Kong classmates. Who was this?

A fourth envelope, then a fifth… all $200 each. Within minutes, each classmate received $1000, except Matilda.

"I miss that beautiful sunny day" messaged: "I flew from Hong Kong to Aurouss Hill this morning. I'm at the Shangri-La. Matilda's here too, right? If you're comfortable, DM me your room number."

Chapter 903

"Greyson Tate?!" Jacob's jealousy surged. Greyson, the former head of the student union's External Relations Department and a wealthy heir, had been one of Matilda's suitors. He'd always tried to outshine Jacob, even after Matilda broke up with him and left for the US. Greyson's persistent pursuit continued even in the US. He eventually moved to Hong Kong, where he became a successful businessman.

Jacob felt inadequate; Greyson had something he lacked: money. He'd showered the group with tens of thousands of dollars.

More compliments followed:

"Boss Greyson is so affectionate!" "Thanks, boss! Aren't you worried about Matilda's husband getting jealous?" "You're so aggressive! Don't break your decades-old crush!" "How do I explain this to my wife?"

Leah quietly revealed, "Matilda's husband passed away recently…"

Classmates offered condolences, but the male students secretly rejoiced. Greyson was particularly thrilled. This was his chance!

Chapter 904

Greyson posted, "My wife passed away some time ago. Matilda and I share a similar fate…"

An enthusiastic classmate exclaimed, "You and Matilda are a perfect match!"

Others agreed, urging Greyson to pursue Matilda.

Greyson responded, "I'll thank you for your well-wishes. It depends on Matilda." He announced his intention to relocate to Aurouss Hill for good.

"Why now?" someone asked.

Greyson explained, "Matilda's back. Aurouss Hill holds our youth, our memories. I plan to retire here!"

Jacob intervened: "Greyson, don't settle here. Matilda never liked you, and she won't now. Don't waste your time!"

Jacob felt insecure. Greyson was wealthy, successful, and a widower. He himself was married to Elaine Ma. The odds were stacked against him. He worried about encountering Greyson at the reunion.

Greyson responded, "I thought our former student council president only cared about red envelopes! It seems the president finally has something to say."

Jacob blushed. He had indeed focused on grabbing the $200 envelopes.

Chapter 905

Greyson continued, "Did you think you could order me around? You still haven't forgotten Matilda, I guess! I'm your love rival!"

Jacob felt guilty but couldn't admit it. He said, "I'm worried about your health; such a drastic change might be problematic."

Greyson laughed, "I'm healthy!"

Jacob ended the conversation, turning to Matilda. "Let's go shopping."

After checking the time, Matilda said, "The reunion is at 11. Let's head there now."

They arrived at the Glorious Club. Paul had booked them a luxurious suite on the fourteenth floor, surprising Jacob. This was far beyond what he'd experienced before.

Jacob asked Matilda, "Are Paul and the Moores close?"

Matilda nodded, "We've had a long business relationship. We've helped them legally, so they're courteous."

They entered a lavish suite where several classmates were already assembled. It was a spectacular setup, accommodating 50 people, costing at least $20,000 per person.

Upon seeing Jacob and Matilda together, a stylish man—Greyson—fixed his gaze on Matilda, asking, "Why are you two here together?"
