The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1241-1245
Chapter 1241
Elaine Ma was stunned and angered by the news that someone had invested in the Wilson family. She scoffed, saying, "Lady, don't bother me. Even if the Wilson Group reopens, it'll fail quickly. Your family—Harold included—is worthless!"
This stung Lady Wilson. While Donald's investment solved immediate problems, the Wilson Group lacked capable leadership. Christopher was mediocre, Harold incompetent and self-serving, and Wendy was irresponsible and had a damaged reputation. Lady Wilson felt her granddaughter, Claire, was the family's best hope. Her visit to mock Elaine was actually a strategic move to leverage her advantage, forcing Elaine to persuade Claire to return to the Wilson Group as a director. Lady Wilson knew Claire was successful with her design studio, receiving many orders from prominent companies like the Emgrand Group, the Moore family, the White family, and the Quinton family.
Lady Wilson, suppressing her anger, proposed a truce and cooperation to Elaine Ma.
Elaine Ma responded angrily, reminding Lady Wilson of past grievances, vowing revenge.
Lady Wilson, pointing to her new Bentley Continental, offered to buy Elaine Ma an identical car if her family returned to the Wilson Group.
Chapter 1242
Lady Wilson believed Elaine Ma's vanity and greed would compel her to persuade Claire. However, she overlooked Elaine's vengefulness. While previously, minor mother-in-law/daughter-in-law disagreements were easily overcome with money, Elaine harbored deep resentment towards Lady Wilson stemming from a past incident in a detention center where Lady Wilson had brutally mistreated her. Even a Bentley wouldn't erase this hatred. Furthermore, Elaine knew not to offend her son-in-law, Charlie Wade, fearing expulsion from their luxurious villa. She wouldn't be fooled again.
Elaine mocked Lady Wilson, claiming her son-in-law's car far surpassed the Bentley.
Chapter 1243
Charlie Wade, preparing to take Claire for a drive in his Aston Martin, unknowingly benefited from Elaine's remote gate opener. He was surprised to see Lady Wilson and a Bentley at the entrance. Claire was equally surprised. Harold, seeing the Aston Martin, was shocked. Wendy recognized it as the Aston Martin One-77, worth tens of millions. Harold was aghast. He also spotted a Bugatti, a limited-edition model costing over $50 million, parked nearby.
Chapter 1244
Harold was stunned by Charlie Wade's wealth. Christopher attributed it to Charlie's alleged scams. Wendy lamented the missed opportunities and hardships caused by Charlie's actions. Lady Wilson, dismissing the Aston Martin as a mere Ford Mondeo, was quickly corrected by Elaine Ma. Harold attempted to downplay the situation but failed.
Chapter 1245
Lady Wilson was shocked to learn the combined value of the Aston Martin and Bugatti exceeded $100 million. Humiliated, she retreated, leaving Elaine Ma to sneer at her defeat. Lady Wilson felt foolish for her ill-conceived attempt at intimidation. Harold and Christopher were also embarrassed. Lady Wilson, along with Harold and Wendy, discussed their predicament. They worried about losing Donald's investment and were determined to find a way to undermine Charlie Wade.
