The Amazing Son-in-Law (Chapters 1181-1185)
Chapter 1181
Paul stared in shock at Charlie Wade. While unbelievable, he didn't doubt Charlie's claim. He quickly started the car and drove to Weaver Pharmaceuticals.
Weaver Pharmaceuticals' production base and headquarters were located in southeastern Aurous Hill. The base included workshops, warehouses, office buildings, and dormitories.
Liam was already waiting when Paul parked in front of the office building. Charlie's actions on Golim Mountain had deeply impacted Liam, who now considered Charlie his god and was utterly devoted. He respectfully escorted Charlie and Paul to his office.
Liam produced a prepared contract and said, “Master Wade, I've drafted the contract. Please have your lawyer review it.” He opened the contract, explaining, “This contract unconditionally transfers 80% of Weaver Group's shares to you.”
Charlie was surprised by Liam's straightforwardness. He nodded, saying, “Let Paul work with your lawyer.”
Liam immediately called his legal team. Paul professionally reviewed the contract with them. The process was swift, and Charlie and Liam signed the agreement, making Charlie the majority shareholder of Weaver Pharmaceuticals (80% ownership). Paul's name was also included as Charlie's lawyer.
Chapter 1182
After signing, Liam respectfully asked, “Master Wade, should we rename Weaver Pharmaceuticals?” He felt a name change was appropriate given Charlie's majority ownership. Charlie agreed, deciding on "Oracle Pharmaceutical," a name reflecting his mastery of ancient medical techniques from the "Apocalyptic Book."
Though Liam didn't understand the name's meaning, he readily agreed. He pledged to file the necessary paperwork immediately.
Charlie then addressed Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's competitive stomach powder: “Their product is putting significant pressure on you, isn't it?”
Liam confirmed this, noting its widespread popularity across Asia.
Charlie offered a solution: “Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is nothing. I'll give you a superior formula for treating stomach problems. Call it ‘Nova Dias.’ Do you have pen and paper?”
Overjoyed, Liam quickly provided them. Charlie chose the "Reliever" formula from the "Apocalyptic Book" for its readily available ingredients and potent effects, despite its simplicity. He believed this would easily surpass Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's product. He wrote the prescription and handed it to Liam.
Liam, despite his knowledge of Chinese medicine, found the formula unconventional. Many ingredients seemed unrelated to stomach ailments. However, he trusted Charlie implicitly. He prioritized arranging production and testing the medicine. He concluded business with Paul and left the now-renamed Oracle Pharmaceutical.
Paul remained awestruck by Charlie's abilities, marveling at his influence and respect within Aurous Hill.
Chapter 1183
On the way back, Charlie asked about Matilda. Paul reported that she was a visiting professor at a senior college, teaching general education and studying calligraphy and Chinese painting.
Charlie was surprised to hear this, but Paul clarified that it wasn't a formal university but an elderly interest class.
Paul then inquired about Wilson, noting Matilda's hesitancy when mentioning him. Charlie revealed his mother-in-law's return and Wilson's fear of her causing problems for Matilda. Paul acknowledged the difficulties of intervening in family matters.
A call from Jasmine interrupted. Charlie learned she wanted to invite him to dinner the night after tomorrow at her home, at her grandfather's request. They arranged to meet at 7 pm.
Paul, knowing Jasmine, correctly guessed the dinner was actually a birthday celebration, something Jasmine had intentionally downplayed to avoid Charlie feeling obligated to give an expensive gift.
Chapter 1184
Charlie realized Jasmine's gesture stemmed from a sense of obligation for past favors, including the Rejuvenation Pill he'd given her grandfather. He decided to give her another Rejuvenation Pill as a birthday gift, knowing its immense value and the impact it would have on Lord Moore.
He reasoned his gift was not just for Jasmine herself (who was too young to need it), but to gain Lord Moore's favor and potentially secure Jasmine's position within the Moore family. He knew Lord Moore would appreciate the gesture, potentially leading to significant advantages for Jasmine.
Chapter 1185
After dropping Charlie off, Paul went home. Jacob anxiously greeted Charlie, inquiring about Matilda. Charlie relayed Paul's account of Matilda’s busy and fulfilling life.
Jacob expressed concern over Matilda being surrounded by older, potentially unattached men at the senior college. Charlie pointed out the impossibility of preventing such concerns.
Jacob then had an idea: he could also attend the senior college, increasing his chances of seeing Matilda, while knowing Elaine's current state would keep her from attending.
Charlie acknowledged this, but noted the potential for unhappiness if Claire or Elaine discovered their actions.
Two days later, Charlie, having informed his family of a friend's birthday, purchased a redwood gift box and placed a Rejuvenation Pill inside. He then drove with Paul to the Moore villa, where they found a relatively understated birthday celebration underway.
Jasmine, in a stunning white dress, greeted them. Many luxury cars and guests were present.
