The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 311-315

Chapter 311

Christopher trembled with fear as Albert roared. He knew Albert, the underworld king, could easily kill two people. Desperately, he looked at the men dragging Wendy and appealed to Claire. "Claire, please help! She's your cousin! How can you let this happen?"

Claire pursed her lips. "Please stop," she said to the men. "She was confused; she didn't mean to hurt me." Claire found Wendy annoying, but they were cousins. She couldn't bear to see her treated this way.

Albert looked to Charlie, awaiting his orders. Charlie smirked. "Why are you looking at me? Listen to my wife."

Albert instructed his men, "Since Mrs. Wade has spoken, let them go!"

Charlie nodded and turned to Wendy. "See? I told you to leave. Go now, or Albert's men will remove you."

Wendy's furious outburst and trembling were cut short as Christopher took her arm, and they left. Wendy screamed hysterically, "No! Let go of me!" Albert kicked her and growled, "Shut up, or I'll cut out your tongue!" Horrified, Harold helped Wendy leave.

Wendy's goal had been to pressure Claire into returning to the Wilson family. With Claire's refusal, their last hope seemed lost.

Relieved after the Wilson family's shameful exit, Claire was soon overwhelmed by the arriving VIPs. Her small office was inadequate. Then, Bright Star Building's staff arrived, serving refreshments. A call from Doris had been enough. The building belonged to the Emgrand Group.

Doris approached Claire. "Mrs. Wade, Bright Star Building is our home. Since you're here, consider this a gift." She gestured to Bobby Hinton, the building manager. "He'll clear offices on this floor for your use."

Claire protested, "Oh no, Miss Young, this is enough."

Bobby presented a check for $180,000. "Mrs. Wade, this covers a year's rent. We'll cover all future expenses!"

Chapter 312

Claire nervously refused. Charlie gently took her hand. "My dear, accept Miss Young's kindness as a sign of respect."

Claire hesitated. Charlie took the check from Bobby and placed it in Claire's hand. "Since Miss Young says it's free, keep it."

Claire was touched. She realized refusing would be insulting to the Emgrand Group, a company as large as the Moore family. She gratefully accepted.

Doris smiled. "We're partners; we should help each other."

Claire, lacking pockets, returned the check to Charlie. He pocketed it. "Let me introduce you to Miss Moore. The Moore family has some renovation projects you might be interested in."

Claire felt inferior to Jasmine and sensed hostility beneath Jasmine's politeness. Claire's intuition told her Jasmine harbored a desire to steal Charlie from her.

It was past 10:00 AM. Claire's parents were late. She tugged Charlie's sleeve. "Charlie, Mom and Dad aren't here. Call them."

Charlie replied, "Maybe there's traffic." They had left early that morning to prepare the office and had told her parents to arrive before 10:00 AM for the opening.

As Charlie reached for his phone, Claire's phone rang—it was her mother. Elaine's voice was frantic. "Claire! We had an accident! Your father is at Silverwing Hospital! Come quickly!"

Chapter 313

"What?!" Claire cried. "How's Father? Where are you?"

Elaine's voice trembled. "We're at Silverwing Hospital. Your father is unconscious. Come quickly!"

Claire was devastated. Charlie heard the conversation and understood the gravity. He addressed the guests. "I'm sorry, Claire and I need to leave immediately." His guests were understanding.

Charlie rushed Claire to the hospital. They found Jacob unconscious in the ICU. Elaine was pale and bloodied.

Claire rushed to her parents' side. "Mother, what happened?"

Elaine sobbed. "We were on our way to your opening when a truck ran a red light. Your father is in critical condition."

Claire asked the doctor, "How's my father?"

The doctor replied, "He's stable for now."

Relief was short-lived. The doctor continued, "Buthis back was injured. He may be a quadriplegic."

Claire felt dizzy and would have fallen if Charlie hadn't caught her. The thought of her father paralyzed was unbearable.

She asked, "Doctor, is there any treatment for spinal cord injuries?"

The doctor shook his head. "Generally, no. The best we can hope for is that he can eventually sit up."

Chapter 314

Elaine looked pale. "I'm fine, just a headache. The car hit your father's side" she sobbed.

Charlie discovered the truck had fled the scene. Elaine and Jacob were unconscious and couldn't provide details. Good Samaritans had taken them to the hospital. Elaine's injuries were minor; Jacob's were severe.

Charlie sighed, thinking about Jacob's flaws but also his generally good nature. He contrasted this with Elaine's selfishness and lack of morality. A dark thought crossed his mind: Why wasn't it Elaine who was paralyzed?

The ICU door opened. Jason Grant, the man Charlie had humiliated at the car show, entered with a middle-aged man carrying a medical bag.

Claire asked Elaine, "Mom, why is he here?"

Elaine explained that Jason knew the hospital administrator and had arranged for Jacob's admission to the ICU.

Jason greeted them warmly, but his pleasant demeanor changed when he saw Charlie.

Jason resented Charlie and saw this as an opportunity for revenge and to regain Claire's favor.

Elaine, distraught over Jacob's possible paralysis, spoke to Jason. Jason presented Joshua Lynch, a renowned Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, claiming he could cure Jacob.

Chapter 315

Elaine was overjoyed. Jason introduced Joshua, who confidently stated he could easily heal Jacob's spinal injury. The hospital doctor was shocked; spinal injuries are typically incurable.

Joshua produced a half-pill, claiming it was a magical potion that could even revive a vegetative person.

Claire asked if it really worked. Joshua boasted about its miraculous properties and its rarity.

Charlie recognized the pill as one of his early attempts at a healing formula—far from perfect. He found Joshua's reverence for it amusing.

Charlie stated, "Dr. Lynch, your pill won't work."

Jason scoffed. "Who are you to question Dr. Lynch?"

Joshua laughed. "Don't make me laugh!"

Everyone was stunned. Charlie’s skepticism was met with disbelief and anger. The narrative ends with the shocking revelation of Joshua's supposed expertise and the conflict escalating.
