The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1086-1090
Chapter 1086
After listening to Charlie Wade, Claire Wilson smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about where I go; my husband will arrange it."
"Great!" Claire exclaimed happily. "Then I can wait for you to arrange it!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Elaine Ma flatteringly said, "See? I didn't lie, did I?"
Charlie hummed, then called Mr. White.
"Master Wade! What a pleasure," Mr. White said.
Charlie said calmly, "Zeke, my wife loves gardening. I'm converting half of Thompson First Villa into a vegetable garden. Find me the best vegetable and fruit varietiesโalready grown, bearing fruit, with vines, seedlings, and rootsโready for transplanting to Thompson First."
Mr. White exclaimed, "Master Wade, don't worry! Even a whole vegetable shed, I can get for you!"
Charlie said, "Okay, start today. Be at Thompson First's transplanting plant tonight; I want my wife to see it tomorrow morning!"
Mr. White smiled. "Master Wade, you truly love your wife! I'll make the arrangements!"
Elaine Ma was thrilled. Charlie was incredibly persuasive; a simple phone call, and someone diligently arranged a vegetable garden for him! She'd thought he'd blow up sooner or later, but he seemed to be doing better and better.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out: "Oh! Isn't this my dear daughter-in-law? On crutches? Quite a sight, I must say!"
Elaine Ma's face turned ugly. Without looking, she knew it was her mother-in-law, Lady Wilson. Turning, she was shocked. Lady Wilson, Christopher, and the two boysโweren't they supposed to be detained? And Hannah? Wasn't she sent to the black coal mine by Charlie's friend?
Charlie turned, frowning at Hannah's unexpected presence. Don Albertt was usually reliable; what went wrong?
Hannah was a secret between Charlie, Elaine, and Claire. Although Claire and Elaine knew about Hannah's gambling losses, they didn't know she'd been sent to the coal mine. They assumed she'd run away. Hannah's return worried Charlie.
Elaine Ma, never one to be outdone, retorted, "Who are you? Trying to invade our villa? Don't you remember your last trip to the detention center? I'll call the police!"
Chapter 1087
Harold angrily interrupted Elaine Ma's tirade, "Elaine Ma, look at your hideous mug! Your missing front teeth make you sound like you're leaking water! What are you doing?"
Elaine Ma, furious at the insult to her teeth (she hadn't dared to look in the mirror since they fell out), retorted, "Harold, I'm your second aunt! Aren't you afraid of lightning?"
Harold scoffed, "Second aunt? You're the ugliest woman I've ever seen! Missing teeth, can't make yourself presentable. Why are you even acting?"
Elaine Ma was reminded of Zhao Benshan's Moore Dandan character, whose appearance now mirrored her own. Enraged, she pulled out her phone. "I'll call the police and report you for trespassing! You'll be locked up longer this time!"
Lady Wilson sneered, "Elaine Ma, do you think you're the only one who can afford Thompson First?"
Elaine Ma snorted, "Of course! Unless you're a dead old woman, you can't afford Thompson First. I'd kick you out!"
Lady Wilson laughed, "Oh, Elaine Ma, you haven't changed a bit. I want to test the durability of your skull!" She produced a key. "Thompson First A04 is mine. We're neighbors now!"
"I pooh!" Elaine Ma scoffed. "You old hag, you can barely eat, and you bought A04? Did you sell Wendy to some rich man? What rich man would pay that much for Wendy's charms?"
Wendy pointed angrily, "Elaine Ma, who are you talking about?"
Elaine Ma retorted, "You! I don't know who's sleeping with an old man, then yells at me!"
Wendy, furious, lunged, but Lady Wilson restrained her. "Wendy, don't bother with her. She's pathetic." She then addressed the others, "Let's go clean our villa. What's the point of arguing with such a person?"
They spat at Elaine Ma's feet and swaggered off. Elaine Ma, disbelieving they owned A04, cursed, "You're not getting away with this! Security will be after you soon."
Hannah turned, her eyes menacing. "Elaine Ma, don't forget our unfinished business!"
Chapter 1088
Elaine Ma retorted, "I'm not afraid of you! My son-in-law will send you back to the coal mine!"
Hannah glared, ready to respond, when Lady Wilson opened A04's door, waving her key. "Elaine Ma, you were going to screw off my head and kick it? Go ahead, try."
Elaine Ma was speechless. How could the Wilsons, supposedly penniless, afford a Thompson First villa?
She looked at Charlie, "Charlie Wade, what's going on? Didn't your friend send them to the black coal mine? Why is Hannah back?"
Charlie was surprised. He called Don Albertt, "The person I sent to the coal mine why is she back?"
Don Albertt was surprised. "Master Wade, someone bought the coal mine for three times the market price."
Charlie realized, "The Webb family, right?"
"Yes!" Don Albertt said, "The Southern Webb Family! Should I handle it?"
Charlie said indifferently, "No. They haven't officially acted yet. Don't worry about it."
Don Albertt said guiltily, "Master Wade, I failed to supervise. Please punish me! I'll arrest Hannah!"
"No need," Charlie said. "Let her stay." He then asked about the Weaver family father and son, who'd been digging ginseng in Golim Mountain.
Don Albertt assured him they were still in Golim Mountain, guarded by his and Liam's men.
Charlie said, "The Webb family is probably looking for my enemies. Keep them safe. Don't let the Weaver family be taken away!"
Chapter 1089
Liam feared his father and brother's return most. If the Webb family rescued them, they'd try to retake Weaver Pharmaceuticals, a multi-billion dollar company.
Charlie knew Liam would prevent this. Even if they returned, Charlie could easily deal with them. But, he mused, where's the fun in life without enemies?
This was a good opportunity to test his skills against a wealthy family. Perhaps it would be useful against the Wade family in Eastcliff.
Chapter 1090
Charlie hung up and returned to gardening. Elaine Ma asked, "What happened? Why did Hannah escape?"
Charlie explained that the mine had a new owner, and the workers escaped; Hannah likely took the opportunity.
Elaine Ma lamented, "That shameless woman! I'm furious!" She remembered that Charlie had forced Linda to donate all her moneyโincluding her lossesโleaving her furious. She no longer dared to openly challenge Charlie.
Charlie said calmly, "It's pointless to dwell on it. They have a backer now. Don't provoke them. If we are bullied again, we may not be able to fight back."
Elaine Ma worried. She couldn't accept being subservient to the Wilsons. She gritted her teeth, "Charlie Wade, beat them up! Break all their legs!"
Charlie retorted, "If I'm arrested, what will you do when they come after you?"
Elaine Ma realized he was right. Jacob was useless. She sighed, "I'll be neighbors with the Wilsons. It's uncomfortableโฆ"
Meanwhile, the Wilsons were awestruck by their new villa. A04 was even more lavishly decorated than Charlie's A05. They were ecstatic, especially Lady Wilson, who found A04 far more luxurious than sheโd ever imagined. Standing on the terrace, they could see Elaine Ma and Charlie gardening in their yard. Lady Wilson smirked, "It seems Elaine Ma is planting flowers. I'll steal some."
