The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1226-1230

Chapter 1226

After leaving Jasmine at Thompson First, Charlie Wade waited ten seconds before entering. Returning home, he found his wife, Claire Wilson, already relaxed, reading in the bedroom.

Seeing him, Claire smiled and asked, "How was your friend's birthday party?"

Charlie felt uncomfortable and replied, "It was fine." He hadn't told Claire it was Jasmine's birthday, wanting to avoid unnecessary worry.

Claire, noticing nothing amiss, put down her book and said hesitantly, "Husband, may I ask you something?"

Charlie replied, "Don't be so formal with me. Just ask."

Claire explained that a high school classmate, getting married soon, had given her an invitation. She wanted Charlie to accompany her.

Charlie readily agreed. Claire revealed that the classmate had been her deskmate in their junior year of high school.

"Since she was a deskmate, we should definitely go!" Charlie said.

Claire hesitated, then continued, "Husband, I have one more request."

"Just say it," Charlie urged.

Claire explained her classmate's difficult situation: her family favored sons, and her fiancé's family looked down on her, especially since she was pregnant. Her classmate had pleaded with Claire to borrow her BMW for the wedding procession, but a BMW was insufficient; the expectation was a luxury car costing over a million dollars. She asked Charlie to lend one of the luxury cars belonging to Mr. White or Mr. Quinton.

Charlie was surprised. "Borrowing a car is fine; I haven't driven since the auto show. But I've only heard of wedding processions including family members, not couples. What's the rule?"

Claire explained her classmate's harsh request to her future in-laws: no family pickup, only her maternal family could escort her to the hotel.

Charlie frowned. "That family is going too far! They won't even pick up their pregnant daughter-in-law?"

Claire sighed. The fiancé’s family disdained her classmate and offered no dowry; her own family hadn’t contributed financially either. Her classmate persisted in the marriage despite the opposition from both families.

Claire hugged Charlie's arm, pleading, "Husband, I know you're capable and low-key, but please help. Let her have a nice car for the wedding to save her from future harassment."

Charlie smiled, "Since she's your classmate, why not both cars? I'll drive one; you and your classmate can take the other. Satisfied?"

Overjoyed, Claire hugged and kissed him, exclaiming, "Satisfied! You're the best husband!"

Charlie was stunned. "What's happening today? Is it peach blossom season?"

Chapter 1227

Jasmine returned to the Moore family mansion, still ashamed of her impulsive kiss. She was not usually forward in relationships; before meeting Charlie, she'd never been romantically interested in anyone. Her actions with Charlie were unprecedented.

The news of her kiss could make her, the First Lady of the Aurouss Hill First Family, a laughingstock. People found it scandalous that she had been so unrestrained, giving her first kiss to Charlie at age 26. But Jasmine had no regrets. She intended to prove her feelings to Charlie through time and actions, demonstrating her willingness to wait for him, forever.

Returning home, Oscar rushed to help her park, but Jasmine declined. Oscar whispered, "Miss, the Master is waiting."

Jasmine nodded, left the car with Oscar, and entered the house. The entire Moore family awaited her in the living room, no one daring to leave without Lord Moore's permission. Lord Moore was notably seated not in the main seat, but to the right, a clear signal that the seat was for Jasmine.

Rueben and Theodore sat opposite, their faces grim, still reeling from the evening's events. Lord Moore's firm support of Jasmine was insurmountable; he was healthy and strong, making any opposition futile.

Chapter 1228

Lord Moore's improved health, seemingly a middle-aged man's vitality rather than someone nearing death, terrified Theodore and Rueben. This extended his life by at least ten to twenty years, giving Jasmine ample time to consolidate her position. They knew removing her after that would be difficult; the best time to challenge power is during a ruler's weak foundation, unlike their situation now.

Upon Jasmine's arrival, Lord Moore smiled, "Our new Matriarch is back! Jasmine, the main seat is yours!"

Jasmine was flattered, insisting her grandfather should retain the seat, but he refused, declaring himself no longer Patriarch. He ushered her to the main seat, then declared, "God bless our Moore family! With Master Wade's support and Jasmine's guidance, we'll reach greater heights!"

Except for Theodore and Rueben, the family members applauded enthusiastically. They realized Jasmine's importance to Charlie Wade, considering his previous actions—giving her two rejuvenating pills valued at at least 4 billion dollars. With Charlie Wade's support, the Moore family's future was secure.

Lord Moore was relieved by their enthusiastic response, fearing resistance from within the family. However, Charlie Wade's connection with Jasmine secured her position. He declared his belief in the Moore family soon becoming Southaven's top family, even potentially ascending further if Jasmine married Charlie Wade.

Theodore voiced his concern about offending the Kilgore family. Lord Moore responded coldly, stating that with Charlie Wade's support, even the Kilgore family's patriarch would not be a threat.

Chapter 1229

Sam Kilgore's private plane landed late at night at Eastcliff International Airport. He was still anxious about having swallowed a ruby necklace. Fortunately, he landed safely. An ambulance, sent by the Kilgore Family Hospital, along with the vice-president and intestinal specialists, awaited him.

The experts were concerned about the size and complexity of the swallowed object: a large ruby with a platinum necklace. The risk of intestinal blockage was high, potentially requiring surgery.

Sam, understandably distraught at the prospect of surgery, questioned the necessity. The expert explained that a CT scan was needed to determine the necklace’s location; if it was already in the intestines and not passing naturally, surgery would be necessary. He was also informed that recovery would require at least three months, including a significant period of bed rest. Dejected, Sam asked about when he could resume sexual activity; the expert informed him that at least three months would be needed. Sam was devastated at this news.

Chapter 1230

Sam's anger grew, remembering Charlie Wade's smug face and Cameron Isaac's threats that forced him to swallow the necklace. He blamed them for his predicament.

He angrily reprimanded the expert questioning how he’d swallowed the necklace. The expert wisely remained silent.

The ambulance reached the hospital. A CT scan revealed the necklace lodged in a curve of his intestines, creating significant blockage. Surgery was deemed immediately necessary.

Sam, though upset, understood the urgency and agreed to the surgery. He was told his parents were en route. While waiting in the ICU, a beautiful nurse attended to him, and he made a suggestive advance.
