The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 916-920

Chapter 916

The scene resembled a post-dinner rush to pay the bill. Everyone offered, but few genuinely wanted to foot the cost. Politeness likely dictated the actions; impoliteness suggests a lack of social grace. This often led to a chaotic exchange at the hotel bar, with people constantly vying for the honor.

Charlie Wade, witnessing this, admired Paul's efficient and direct approach. Once Paul stated his position, he decisively ended the discussion. This, Wade thought, was the hallmark of intelligent communication.

Later, Paul escorted Charlie Wade to the elevator. He pressed the button, and an elevator arrived. Paul gestured for Wade to enter. Just as he was about to speak, the doors opened to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman—tall, glamorous, and impeccably dressed in a power suit and skirt. Her beauty was captivating, both alluring and sophisticated. It was breathtaking.

Paul exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Moore, what a surprise!"

The woman, upon seeing Charlie Wade, broke into a bright smile. "Master Wade! What are you doing here?"

Charlie Wade recognized Jasmine, the eldest of the Moore family, accompanied by several bodyguards carrying flower baskets.

Slightly surprised, Charlie Wade replied, "I'm helping a friend with some feng shui." He assumed Paul and Jasmine knew each other.

Jasmine smiled, "Master Wade, you know Mr. Paul? My grandfather asked me to deliver these flower baskets to congratulate him on his company's opening." She then apologetically greeted Paul, "Mr. Paul, it's been a while."

Paul, a shrewd lawyer with keen observational skills, immediately noticed Jasmine's affection for Charlie Wade. His experience, including training similar to FBI facial expression analysis (a compulsory course for many judicial officers), allowed him to accurately interpret her subtle cues. He was impressed that Charlie Wade, a married man, had captivated such a remarkable woman. This was, he thought, explosive news.

Chapter 917

Jasmine, graceful as ever, stepped out of the elevator, her eyes constantly drawn to Charlie Wade. Seeing him seemed to rejuvenate her, taking her back to her carefree youth. While sophisticated and practiced in social decorum, her usual composure faltered in his presence.

With evident admiration, she shyly asked, "Master Wade, how do you know Mr. Paul? He hasn't been in China long, has he?"

Charlie Wade smiled, "My father-in-law and Mr. Paul's mother were college classmates."

Jasmine exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"

Paul chuckled, "Indeed! I didn't expect you knew Master Wade, Miss Moore."

Jasmine looked intently at Charlie Wade, "Master Wade is practically my savior. Remember when our export goods were declared substandard in the US, threatening us with massive compensation?"

Paul nodded, "Of course. You asked me to rush across the country to help, but the problem was resolved before I arrived."

Jasmine recounted, "I accidentally disrupted the feng shui at home. It caused business setbacks and other misfortunes, even affecting my driving. I even lost this bracelet," she showed her mother's bracelet, "But Master Wade helped me find it."

Paul gasped, "So you're the great feng shui master Miss Moore spoke of!"

Jasmine confirmed, "Yes, it's Master Wade."

Paul's gaze held immense respect. "Master Wade, I never imagined! Your skills are remarkable."

Charlie Wade humbly deflected the praise. Paul, however, was deeply impressed, especially considering Jasmine's high regard.

Chapter 918

Jasmine thanked Paul for the flower baskets and said they would reconnect later. Paul, understanding Jasmine's feelings for Charlie Wade, offered to take him home.

Jasmine said to Charlie Wade, "Master Wade, allow me to see you off."

He accepted graciously, and they entered the elevator. Jasmine's subtle, sophisticated fragrance filled the air.

Charlie Wade found himself contemplating her beauty, grace, and gentle demeanor – a far cry from the typical wealthy heiress.

At her Rolls-Royce, Jasmine opened the door for him. She inquired about his destination and learned he was returning home to Thompson First A05. Surprised by his sudden departure, she asked if he had errands. He explained that his current task would commence later.

Emboldened, Jasmine asked, "Master Wade, when will you have time? I'd love to treat you to dinner"

Charlie Wade suggested two days hence, citing pressing engagements. He planned to collect Elaine Ma after finalizing arrangements with Cameron Isaac. He wanted to witness Elaine's suffering after her illegal actions.

Chapter 919

Elaine Ma anxiously awaited news from the police station. Her detention had been horrific; she’d endured previously unimaginable hardship and was on the verge of collapse.

Lady Wilson worried Elaine would report their abuse to the police, and feared a cell change. She reveled in Elaine's suffering. News of Elaine's potential long prison sentence brought a perverse thrill.

She taunted Elaine, asking about her legal counsel and predicted a lengthy sentence (15 years). Elaine, fearing further abuse, remained silent about her imminent release.

Gena joined the abuse, slapping and insulting Elaine. Lady Wilson then fiercely pulled Elaine's ears, causing pain and bleeding.

Elaine endured the torment, secretly gleeful at the thought of her own impending release and Lady Wilson's future misery.

Chapter 920

Lady Wilson continued her brutal attack, but the arrival of prison guards interrupted her. Elaine Ma, initially thinking they were taking everyone for a break, was overjoyed to realize it was her release. Exhausted and desperate to escape, she prepared for freedom. The prison guard announced they were letting everyone out for some air, crushing Elaine's initial hope.
