The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 126-130 (Cleaned-up Version)
Chapter 126
Looking back at his stagnant life, Daniel Koch had never had an affair, let alone the opportunity to pursue someone as appealing as Claire Wilson. He had devoted half his life to a woman he despised. Today, however, he planned to change his fate. He craved Claire Wilson. He intended to possess the woman every man in the city adored.
A smile plastered on his face, he said, "Miss Wilson, since you're here, let's talk. I'm not as difficult to deal with as you might think."
Claire Wilson quickly sat back down, seeing an opportunity. "Mr. Koch," she asked excitedly, "will you extend credit for your materials?"
He responded vaguely, "I'd refuse anyone else, but for you, Miss Wilson, it's a different story"
Claire Wilson quickly added, "Our cooperation with Emgrand Group is close and significant. If you accept a credit arrangement, we'll pay you immediately upon receiving our first payment from Emgrand."
He nodded. "Wait a minute. I'll make us some tea."
He went to the cupboard for a teapot. Turning his back to Claire, he added tea leaves to the pot, then surreptitiously added six sleeping pills from his pocket. His doctor had recently prescribed them for insomnia. One pill usually ensured a full night's sleep.
He planned to drug Claire, have sex with her, and take compromising photos and videos for blackmail. He believed this would guarantee her silence. He would be the mastermind, controlling their encounter, and possessing the most beautiful sex partner imaginable. A wicked grin spread across his face as he fantasized. He composed himself, made the tea, and returned to the sofa.
Offering Claire a cup, he said, "Miss Wilson, relax. Let's have some tea and discuss things."
Claire, thirsty from their conversation, readily accepted and drank the tea. Daniel watched with intense satisfaction as she finished the cup. His gaze lingered on her body – her slender legs, shapely waist, perfect figure, and attractive face. He felt a surge of excitement. He had won the prize.
Chapter 127
Daniel watched Claire finish her tea, eagerly anticipating the sleeping pills taking effect.
Soon after, however, Claire felt dizzy and disoriented. A horrifying thought struck her: had Daniel drugged her? Panic seized her. She struggled to stand, but her legs gave way. While still alert, she secretly activated her phone's voice recorder and contacted Charlie Wade, her husband.
"Mr. Koch," she said into the recording, "I feel a little lightheaded. Is something wrong with the tea?"
Daniel chuckled. "This is top-grade PG Tips Diamond tea, fifteen thousand pounds a bag. It's exceptionally smooth."
Claire replied, "No, thank you, Mr. Koch. I don't feel well. I have to go."
A sly smile played on Daniel's lips. He moved closer to Claire.
"Miss Wilson," he said, "everyone says you're the most beautiful woman in Aurouss Hill. I'm honored to meet you."
Claire inched away as he leaned closer, shaking her head. "Mr. Koch, please keep your distance."
Daniel laughed. "Why? We're business partners. It doesn't hurt to get to know each other better, does it?" He leaned even closer.
Claire tried to evade him, but she was trapped against the sofa. Her head grew heavier, her dizziness intensified. Her hands slipped, and the voice message was sent to Charlie Wade.
Meanwhile, Charlie Wade was at home when he received the message. His eyes blazed with fury upon hearing the recording. Daniel Koch was attempting to assault his wife. He was signing his death warrant.
He immediately called Isaac. "Get everyone to Elite Vault Enterprise. I want it leveled to the ground!"
Isaac, shocked, protested, mentioning Elite Vault's family connections.
Charlie Wade roared, "That bastard tried to assault my wife! Do you think leveling them is too extreme?!"
Isaac's jaw dropped. He hadn't anticipated this. Daniel had attacked the boss's wife. He quickly agreed to mobilize his men.
Chapter 128
A helicopter carrying Isaac and ten men in black arrived. Isaac was grim; Daniel had just signed his death warrant. They flew directly to Claire's building.
Charlie Wade joined them and ordered them to proceed to Elite Vault Enterprise immediately.
At Elite Vault, Claire was losing strength. Daniel, grinning, reached for her clothes. Suddenly, the door burst open. A furious woman, accompanied by burly men, stormed in. Seeing Daniel assaulting Claire, she screamed, "Daniel Koch! How dare you!"
Chapter 129
Daniel was shocked to see his wife. He didn't realize that she had paid off his staff and knew his every move. Seeing Daniel assaulting Claire, she was enraged.
The wife, enraged by the sight of her husband attempting to assault Claire, began to beat him. Daniel tried to explain, saying Claire had propositioned him.
The wife didn't believe him. She turned to Claire, grabbing her hair and slapping her repeatedly.
Claire, dazed, asked the woman who she was. The wife intended to severely injure Claire. One of the bodyguards offered to kill Claire, but his mistress rejected the offer and would take care of it herself. She was just about to attack Claire when Charlie Wade and his men arrived.
Charlie Wade, upon seeing his wife distressed and injured, kicked the woman, then rescued Claire from the bodyguards. He used his skills to incapacitate the bodyguards who were holding Claire and then held Claire in his arms, comforting her. He used his powers to render Claire unconscious. Then he turned to the woman who had attacked his wife. He punched her before ordering his men to kill her bodyguards, which they did swiftly and efficiently.
Chapter 130
Charlie Wade revealed himself as Charlie Wade, the heir of the Wade family in Eastcliff. Sharon, Daniel's wife, was aghast. She realized her and Daniel's mistake, falling to her knees in terror.
Charlie Wade did not forgive them easily, leaving them both paralyzed.
