The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1236-1240 (Cleaned-up Version)

Chapter 1236

The Lady had injured her bones. The doctor deemed her condition urgent and prescribed at least a week of bed rest. Due to her pain, she received a local injection and an analgesic. Sam felt ashamed accompanying his mother to the Lady's ward. Upon entering, his father, Heath, slapped him fiercely, yelling, "You bastard! You're a disgrace! Thankfully, your grandmother is alright, or I'd kill you!"

Sam, unaccustomed to physical punishment, was stunned and felt wronged. Seeing her grandson struck, the Lady felt distressed and said, "Sam is young. While his actions weren't commendable, I understand."

Kilgore, the old man, was less forgiving. He glared at Sam, coldly stating, "Even as an adult, he lacks self-control. How can he succeed?" Sam's legs trembled. He feared not his father's blows, but his grandfather's disapproval, which could severely impact his future in the family.

Heath, enraged by his father's words, slapped Sam again, screaming, "You bastard! I'll break your leg next time!" Sam, covering his face, choked out, "Grandpa, Dad, I'm truly sorry! I won't repeat this mistake!"

The old man snorted, "Unlike your grandmother, who spoils you, I'm strict. One more incident, and you leave Eastcliff, never to return!" Sam quickly nodded, promising, "Grandpa, I won't." The old man's expression softened slightly.

The Lady sighed, "You both beat and scold him! He's about to have surgery!" Sam, seeing his grandmother's defense, tearfully went to her bedside, holding her hand and apologizing. The Lady comforted him, "Knowing your mistakes is improvement. I don't blame you."

A gastroenterologist entered, announcing, "Master, sir, the young master needs to prepare for surgery." Heath nodded, telling Sam, "It's a minor operation. Follow the doctor. I'll stay with your grandmother." Sam obediently agreed. The Lady then instructed Lydia, "Lydia, go with Sam." Lydia, concerned, agreed to accompany her son.

After mother and daughter left with the doctor, Heath apologetically told the old man, "Dad, I failed him" The old man waved his hand, "Sam's almost 28. He needs to settle down and marry." Heath revealed, "Lydia and I found a suitable match—the daughter of the Aurouss Hill Moore family. Marrying them would greatly expand our influence in the south of the Yangtze River." The old man approved, suggesting they bypass Eastcliff and focus on expansion in the south.

Chapter 1237

Sam's surgery successfully removed the ruby necklace from his intestines. Fifteen days of strict bed rest in the ICU followed. The pain pump was removed on the second day due to potential harm, resulting in constant pain. This fueled his hatred for Charlie Wade, whom he vowed to confront and severely punish.

However, Charlie Wade remained unconcerned. His wife's high school classmate's wedding prompted him to "borrow" two luxury cars—a Bugatti Veyron and an Aston Martin One-77—from Mr. Quinton for use as wedding cars. Mr. Quinton, thrilled to finally see the cars used, promptly arranged delivery.

The cars' arrival at the Thompson First Villa caused a sensation among the wealthy residents. Elaine Ma, upon seeing them, was astonished. Claire explained they were borrowed for her classmate's wedding. Elaine Ma expressed amazement at their luxury.

Charlie Wade, however, felt the cars were ostentatious and impractical, highlighting the high cost of maintenance and potential repair expenses. Elaine Ma agreed, preferring to use the money for dental implants. Claire reassured her that she had an appointment scheduled. Claire then asked Charlie which car he preferred to drive the next day; he said she could choose.

Chapter 1238

Claire nervously expressed concerns about driving such powerful cars, fearing accidents. Charlie reassured her, telling her to treat them as their own. Claire then requested a detailed introduction, prompting Charlie to begin explaining the Bugatti.

At that moment, a new Bentley Continental arrived, driven by Harold, with his father Christopher and the Lady Wilson and Wendy as passengers. The Wilson family's financial situation had improved significantly thanks to the Webb family's investment. This newfound wealth excited the family, particularly Harold, who envisioned a luxurious lifestyle, symbolized by a high-end car.

Harold’s previous car had been seized by the bank. He recognized that a luxury vehicle would elevate his social status and aspirations. The Lady Wilson, also eager to display their improved fortunes, promptly purchased the Bentley Continental. Harold was thrilled to drive such an expensive car.

Chapter 1239

The Lady Wilson had always been displeased with Charlie Wade's family, feeling they had disrespected her in the past. She now considered them insignificant compared to her elevated status. She believed Charlie Wade and Jacob were unemployed, and Claire's studio income was limited.

The Lady felt they had previously been reluctant to rejoin the Wilson family, so now, she was determined to reclaim the lost face. The Bentley stopped before Charlie Wade’s villa. Harold asked the Lady whether he should knock; she instructed him to honk the horn to summon Elaine Ma. Christopher noted the many green hats on Elaine Ma’s balcony. The Lady Wilson dismissed it, advising Christopher to not be preoccupied with Hannah's actions and her infidelity. Christopher countered with his venereal disease diagnosis. The Lady scolded him for letting Hannah’s affairs bother him and his continued focus on it. Christopher accepted her perspective, and Harold honked the horn.

Chapter 1240

Elaine Ma, initially annoyed by the incessant honking while watching a drama, went to the terrace and saw the Bentley. She cursed at the driver. Christopher, seeing Elaine Ma, commented sarcastically. The Lady Wilson, eager to taunt Elaine Ma, planned to confront her, only to be doused with water from a basin by Elaine Ma, who was initially unaware it was her.

Elaine Ma, after realizing it was the Lady, retorted, questioning her sudden wealth and car. The Lady Wilson boastfully revealed that it was a Bentley Continental, worth over three million dollars. Elaine Ma, in turn, countered that Charlie Wade owned two cars far exceeding the Bentley's value, implying that the Lady Wilson's purchase was insignificant compared to their family's wealth.

Harold, joining the conversation, scoffed at Charlie Wade’s alleged lack of wealth. Elaine Ma then pointed out inconsistencies in the Lady’s life, questioning her fidelity and insinuating potential infidelity on her part. Harold, angered, threatened Elaine Ma. Elaine Ma retorted defiantly. The Lady Wilson intervened, wanting to handle the situation herself, and boastfully informed Elaine Ma about the Wilson family's improved financial status.
