The Amazing Son in Law

Chapter 1126

"Christopher," the Lady said coldly, her gaze fixed on him. "You're upset because Hannah supposedly cheated on you, but have you considered that you both sold Wendy to Kenneth Wilson for five million?"

Her words silenced the room. Wendy's face burned with shame, but she remained silent. Christopher's face flushed even deeper. He knew she was right. His rage at his supposed cuckolding paled in comparison to his guilt at having sacrificed his daughter.

Seeing their fear, Lady Wilson continued, her voice cold as ice. "None of you are clean. Let's forget about pointing fingers. We'll unite, work together, and revive the Wilson Group. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" they chorused.

"And," Lady Wilson added, "no one mentions this again. Anyone who does will be banished from the Wilson family."

A solemn silence fell. They knew she meant it. Such scandals couldn't be publicized. Hannah's matter was, for now, concluded. Christopher's anger subsided, and the Lady's words had clearly had an impact.

The family of five lay back on their hospital beds. With the drama seemingly over, a doctor arrived to administer an antidote for the daffodil poisoning. But Christopher felt an unbearable itching in his groin. He scratched discreetly under the covers, the itching only intensifying. He dismissed it as a symptom of the poisoning.

Meanwhile, at the Thompson First apartment complex…

Charlie Wade's family had just finished dinner. Two men in suits knocked on their door.

"Good evening, sir," one said respectfully. "We're from Thompson First Property Management. A food poisoning incident involving a family of five in unit A04 has occurred. They've all been taken to the hospital. We're reminding residents to practice proper food hygiene."

Before Charlie Wade could respond, Elaine Ma chimed in, curious. "Five people from A04 taken away by ambulance? What happened?"

"Madam," the suited man replied, "the residents of A04—a family of five—suffered food poisoning. Did you consume any wild animals or mushrooms?"

Elaine Ma smirked. "Oh, we don't eat such things. Unlike those poor souls in A04, who probably stole their food!"

The man chuckled nervously. "We're just informing you to be cautious. It's good that you're already aware."

After the men left, Elaine Ma cackled. "Karma! I knew the Wilsons wouldn't last in Thompson First! Serves them right!"

Claire asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

"Your grandmother and her family were poisoned," Elaine said gleefully. "They deserve it!"

Claire and Jacob expressed surprise. Claire wondered how they could be poisoned, since they hadn't eaten their food. Jacob thought perhaps they'd eaten spoiled meat.

Charlie said calmly, "I suspect they ate the daffodils I planted."

Chapter 1127

"Daffodils?" Claire exclaimed. "Where? How would they eat those?"

Charlie smiled. "The plants at the foot of the wall that look like leeks—those are daffodils."

Claire gasped. "Mom! Those looked like leeks! I wanted to eat them!"

"They look like leeks, but they aren't," Charlie confirmed.

"Biology class taught me that daffodils are poisonous," Claire said.

Charlie nodded. "My clever wife is right. Daffodils are indeed toxic; excessive consumption can cause poisoning."

Elaine's eyes widened. "Charlie! You did this on purpose? I told you Lady Wilson liked leeks, and you planted all those daffodils! You deliberately tricked them!"

Charlie adopted a serious tone. "Mom, that's not true. I simply planted daffodils in our yard. Who stole and ate them is not my concern."

Elaine quickly recovered. "Oh, my dear son-in-law, why would I blame you? I'm so grateful! You did a wonderful job!"

Jacob asked, "Charlie, is daffodil poisoning fatal?"

"No, just food poisoning," Charlie reassured him.

Jacob sighed with relief. "They're terrible, but blood is thicker than water. You can teach them a lesson, but not kill them."

Elaine scoffed. "You're too kind! They want our lives! Do you remember what your mother did to me in prison? She broke my leg!"

Indignant, she continued, "That Lady deserves this! Let's see if she dares act so horribly again!"

Jacob pleaded, "A lesson is fine, but don't kill anyone."

Elaine retorted, "You still feel sorry for her after all she's done? After all these years, you still want to live with her! You're heartless!"

Their argument was interrupted by Claire. "Stop it! Every time, no matter the topic, you start arguing!"

Elaine huffed, "I don't want to talk to him."

A WeChat message arrived. A friend sent a voice note: "Elaine, have you seen the video online? Another big incident involving your family!"

Elaine's interest piqued. "What happened?"

"Your mother-in-law and your husband's family were fighting in the hospital. A nurse recorded it and posted it online."

"Really?!" Elaine was ecstatic at the prospect of more Wilson family drama. "Send it to me!"

The video showed Christopher and Lady Wilson violently assaulting Hannah. Charlie and the others were stunned. How could they be fighting after food poisoning?

But the shock was yet to come.

Chapter 1128

Christopher's outburst revealed the shocking truth: Hannah was pregnant, and the child wasn't his.

Elaine roared with laughter. "Ha! Lady Wilson's furious! Hannah's pregnant with another man's child!"

Jacob exclaimed, "That woman's shameless! She's pregnant with someone else's child and still dares to come back?"

Elaine continued, "Lady Wilson's mad! Didn't she think her eldest daughter-in-law was perfect? Serves her right!"

Claire wondered if Christopher would divorce Hannah.

Jacob, a man himself, felt Christopher's despair. He believed Hannah should be divorced and cast out.

Charlie mentally noted that Hannah likely conceived in the coal mine. He couldn't rule out the possibility of coercion.

Elaine's friend sent another voice note: "Elaine, this video is exciting, right?"

Elaine agreed, feeling refreshed by the drama. Her friend then sent another video.

This video showed Lady Wilson trying to reconcile Christopher and Hannah! Elaine was baffled. Why would Lady Wilson allow Hannah to stay with another man's child?

The Lady's reasoning was even more astounding. She argued that although Hannah cheated, Christopher had sold his daughter for five million! The entire family was morally corrupt.

This revelation completely shattered everyone's perceptions. Not only had the mother had an affair, but the father had sold his daughter.

Internet outrage ensued. People called the Wilson family the most depraved family imaginable, full of shameless individuals.

The Wilsons, reeling from poisoning and infighting, were unaware of their newfound infamy.

Chapter 1129

The video spread like wildfire through Aurouss Hill that night. It was quickly posted on Facebook, but Charlie had it blocked, wanting to prevent its spread outside Aurouss Hill.

He knew Donald would likely invest in the Wilson family to support the Wilson Group, and a nationwide scandal would jeopardize that. Charlie preferred Donald to invest then have the scandal revealed, thus damaging both the Wilsons and Donald's reputation.

The Wilsons, exhausted from the night's events and the daffodil antidote, were unaware of their unfolding scandal.

The next morning, after a medical checkup, the family was discharged. Lady Wilson's first act was to call Donald, demanding the promised $80 million investment.

Though disgusted, Donald saw potential: a unified, scandal-ridden family could further antagonize Charlie Wade, to his benefit. He instructed his assistant to transfer the funds. He then added, "I'll include the Wilson family in my Aurouss Hill real estate project, handling the decorations."

Lady Wilson's face beamed. "Mr. Webb, the Wilsons are in construction; we're perfect for the job."

Donald warned, "This investment and project are to unite you against Charlie Wade. No more trouble, or I'll withdraw the investment and banish you from Thompson First. I can make or break you. Understand?"

Lady Wilson profusely agreed, promising unwavering loyalty to Donald.

After hanging up, she informed Christopher and the others. Hannah felt triumphant, seeing this as her guarantee against divorce.

Christopher, though resentful, dared not defy Donald. Lady Wilson reiterated the threat, emphasizing the need for unity.

Despite his bitterness, Christopher was excited by the Webb family's investment and the prospect of rebuilding the Wilson Group.

Chapter 1130

The entire Wilson family was jubilant. Harold envisioned a return to his former life as a wealthy socialite. Wendy dreamed of resuming her extravagant lifestyle. Lady Wilson rejoiced at the prospect of repaying debts and reclaiming seized assets.

News of the Webb family's investment caused a sensation in Aurouss Hill. The Wilson Group, though previously insignificant, gained immense attention. The Webb family's backing, despite their current controversies, made the Wilsons seem like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The Wilson Group became the hottest company in Aurouss Hill. Lady Wilson received numerous gifts and congratulations, turning the Thompson First villa into a hub of activity. She savored the fruits of her alliance with the wealthy.

As the Wilsons reveled in their newfound prosperity, Charlie Wade instructed Facebook to release the hospital video, placing it front and center with the title: "The Southern Region Webb Family's Investment in the Wilson Group: A Testament to the Webb Family's Noble Morals Moved by the Wilson Family!"
