The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1296-1300
Chapter 1296
To spare herself, Leann knelt and begged Charlie Wade's forgiveness, but he remained unconvinced. He knew Leann was ruthless, even more so than his mother-in-law, Elaine Ma. While Elaine wanted her daughter, Claire, to marry rich, she wouldn't sacrifice her daughter to a man with children. Leann, however, had offered her son to a stranger for a fifty-million-dollar dowry—a shameful act. Charlie saw through Leann's insincere confession, realizing it was born of desperation. He knew she would only worsen her treatment of Isabella if given the chance. Therefore, he demanded a decisive solution: Leann must divorce David Carson and leave Aurouss Hill permanently.
David Carson, meanwhile, was distraught, watching his wife plead, but Charlie remained unmoved. David, seemingly resigned to his fate, accepted marrying Mr. Ward's daughter. He admitted that although he had been with Leann for years, his feelings had faded, and Mr. Ward's daughter, while not beautiful, was at least young.
Don Albertt, with Caesar and others, forced David, Leann, and Skye (Mr. Ward's daughter) to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce and remarriage. Steve, though wanting to intervene, lacked the power and could only watch, shedding tears as his mother was taken away.
Charlie then approached Steve: "You and Isabella haven't gotten your marriage certificate yet, have you?" Steve confirmed they hadn't. Charlie instructed them to obtain their certificate and return for the wedding. Steve was hesitant, uncomfortable with the simultaneous weddings, but Charlie persuaded him, emphasizing Isabella's need for reassurance. Steve agreed, and Charlie expressed his eagerness for the wedding celebration.
Chapter 1297
As Don Albertt took the others to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cameron Isaac asked Charlie if he should accompany them. Charlie declined, wanting to remain for the celebrations. Claire Wilson, noticing everyone's absence, expressed concern about the appropriateness of the situation, given the circumstances surrounding the wedding of Isabella and Steve.
Charlie responded, "What's appropriate? If we don't address Leann's actions and teach the Carsons a lesson, do you think Isabella will have a good life married into this family?" Claire, understanding his point, conceded that resolving the issue was crucial to Isabella's future well-being. She worried about Steve potentially resenting them, but Charlie confidently replied that if Steve harbored resentment, he was hopelessly ungrateful. He concluded by suggesting they await the conclusion of the "trivial matters" before the wedding.
Chapter 1298
At the Aurouss Hill Civil Affairs Bureau, Steve and Isabella, David and Leann, and Skye and her parents arrived. Don Albertt asked who should proceed first. Steve, somewhat embarrassed, volunteered to register his marriage with Isabella. The staff processed their marriage certificate, taking a photograph on the spot.
Next, Don Albertt coldly demanded the divorce proceedings for David and Leann. Both were visibly distraught but compliant. When the staff requested the original marriage certificate, Leann pleaded for an exception, but the staff member refused. David insisted on completing the process that day due to the wedding arrangements.
Don Albertt, mentioning his acquaintance with the bureau's Director Carr, intervened, prompting a call. Director Carr promptly arrived, and after a brief explanation, ordered the staff to expedite the divorce, disregarding the missing marriage certificate.
Chapter 1299
Leann's emotional collapse followed the divorce. Don Albertt, impatient with her weeping, ordered Caesar to remove her from Aurouss Hill, threatening to break her legs if she returned. Caesar forcefully escorted Leann, ignoring her plea to collect belongings.
Don Albertt then directed Skye to marry David, much to the staff's surprise. The staff member's internal monologue expressed her disgust with David Carson's actions, while still processing the marriage. The photographs and marriage certificate were obtained, with Skye clearly unhappy and David wrestling with the implications of the situation, particularly regarding Skye's unborn child.
Mr. Ward sternly warned David to treat Skye well, and forbade the termination of the pregnancy. David, fearing Mr. Ward's wrath, agreed, although he was internally dismayed by the prospect of raising a child with Skye. Mr. Ward offered to raise the child if David later desired.
Chapter 1300
The marriage certificate was issued to David and Skye. The staff member's internal monologue highlighted the age difference between the couple. Don Albertt then ushered the four back to the Hilton.
At the Hilton, Charlie and Claire waited with Cameron. Don Albertt reported the successful completion of the proceedings. Charlie deemed the time right for the wedding to commence. Don Albertt reported that Mr. Ward had secured a wedding dress.
Charlie celebrated David Carson's predicament, stating that he had disposed of a "yellow-faced woman," gained a younger wife, and would soon be a father. Don Albertt applauded Charlie's decisive actions. Charlie emphasized the importance of respecting others, highlighting David and Leann's poor treatment of their future daughter-in-law as the root of the problems. Claire watched her husband, impressed by his unexpected solution. The wedding march then began. The emcee announced David and Skye as the first couple, much to the embarrassment of the Carson family, with Don Albertt prompting the guests to applaud.
