The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 336-340

Chapter 336

Kenneth, feeling emotional, said, "Since the brothers haven't seen each other for years, perhaps they can be reunited in paradise."

Christopher humbly replied, "Chairman Wilson, please have a seat."

Kenneth chuckled. "Alright, my apologies for the intrusion!"

"Not at all! Not a bother!"

Christopher quickly led Kenneth into the living room and presented him to Mrs. Wilson. "Mom, this is Chairman Kenneth Wilson of the Modestway Group!"

Mrs. Wilson was stunned. Modestway Group?! A hugely famous, publicly listed company! Why was its chairman in their home? Despite her confusion, she welcomed him warmly.

"Welcome, Chairman Wilson. Please forgive an old woman's less-than-perfect welcome."

Kenneth smiled, extending his hand. He noticed Wendy, who had been crying. He thought she was incredibly beautiful, despite her sorrowful expression. Lost in her sadness, Wendy didn't notice Kenneth's appraising gaze.

Mrs. Wilson ushered Kenneth into the living room. "Chairman Wilson, it's an honor to have you!"

"The pleasure is mine." Kenneth smiled. "You must be the head of the Wilson family?"

Mrs. Wilson replied, "Yes. Please, call me Mrs. Wilson. No need for formalities."

Kenneth explained, "I'm here to fulfill my father's dying wish."

He recounted his father's story of friendship with an old man from the Wilson family. The Wilsons were a large family, spanning hundreds of years and many generations, some distantly related. Kenneth's father and Christopher's father, separated by seven or eight generations, had been close, considering themselves distant cousins. During the Resistance War, the family was scattered, and they lost contact. On his deathbed, Kenneth's father urged his son to thank his benefactor. Kenneth initially dismissed it, forgetting his promise until recurring dreams and a fortune teller reminded him of his father's final request. He hired investigators, eventually finding leads to the Wilson family in Aurouss Hill.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wilson was overjoyed. This was a lifeline! The Modestway Group's market capitalization was in the tens of billions. Kenneth could easily alleviate their suffering.

Chapter 337

Mrs. Wilson, delighted, told Kenneth, "Your father was a truly grateful man. He remembered everything after all these years."

Kenneth sighed. "He considered his benefactor a hero. My father never forgot what he did for him."

Kenneth produced a high-end jewelry box and gave it to Mrs. Wilson. "My father gave this to me, instructing me to give it to his savior. Since Mr. Wilson is deceased, I give it to you."

Mrs. Wilson expected a valuable gift. Excitedly, she opened the box to finda rusty bullet!

What?!

Mrs. Wilson stared at Kenneth. "Chairman Wilson, this is"

Kenneth explained, "This bullet hit my father's leg. His hero used a pocketknife to remove it, and my father kept it. Before he died, he asked me to give it to his savior as a memento."

Mrs. Wilson was speechless. Her husband saved his father's life, and all he received was a rusty bullet?! This wasn't recompense for such kindness! It was worthless! Kenneth could have given them millions to help with their financial struggles!

She sighed. "I didn't expect your father to be so simple. If he knew our family's plight, he'd surely help, wouldn't he?"

Kenneth was taken aback. They'd just met, and she was already asking for money? Since he was there to fulfill his father's wish, he maintained his composure. "Mrs. Wilson, what crisis has your family faced?"

Mrs. Wilson explained that their construction and repair company, the Wilson Group, was facing bankruptcy due to cash flow issues.

Chapter 338

Mrs. Wilson introduced her son, Christopher, then her grandson, Harold, who greeted Kenneth enthusiastically. Kenneth, however, kept his gaze fixed on Wendy, whom Mrs. Wilson then introduced.

Kenneth was relieved. He'd feared Wendy was betrothed to Harold, jeopardizing his plans. Learning she was also a Wilson, his interest intensified. While not the most beautiful woman, she was attractive, explaining Gerald White's past interest. He felt a protective instinct towards her, especially given her tearful state.

Seeing Kenneth's interest, Mrs. Wilson said, "Wendy is twenty-four and single. If you know any suitable young men"

This was her subtle way of suggesting Kenneth himself.

Kenneth, aging and estranged from his wife, saw an opportunity. He extended his hand to Wendy. "Miss Wendy, you're so attractive, why are you single?"

This only caused Wendy to cry again. She was distraught over the family's problems and Gerald's rejection. She felt overshadowed by Claire.

Chapter 339

Seeing Wendy cry, Kenneth felt awkward. Mrs. Wilson explained the family's financial woes and Wendy's distress, emphasizing Wendy's devotion to the family business.

Kenneth offered help.

Wendy, however, wasn't concerned about the Wilson Group. She only cared about marrying a wealthy man. Seeing Wendy's indifference, Mrs. Wilson scolded her, prompting Wendy's outburst: she only cared about Gerald and didn't care about the Wilson Group. Mrs. Wilson slapped Wendy, who retorted by insulting Claire and storming out. Mrs. Wilson, mortified, sent Christopher after her. She apologized to Kenneth, explaining the family’s dysfunctional dynamics.

Mrs. Wilson then blamed Charlie Wade for the family's problems, fabricating a story about betrayal and manipulation, omitting crucial details and shifting the blame entirely onto Charlie and Jacob.

Chapter 340

Kenneth expressed the need to assess the Wilson Group's viability before investing. Mrs. Wilson knew the company was in dire straits; no one would invest rationally. She proposed Kenneth stay at their home while in Aurouss Hill.

Kenneth, cleverly phrasing his question to gauge Wendy’s presence, accepted after Mrs. Wilson assured him it wouldn't inconvenience Wendy. Mrs. Wilson intended to facilitate a relationship between Kenneth and Wendy, hoping his investment would follow. Mrs. Wilson mentioned Wendy's room was next to the guest room, hinting at proximity. Kenneth was thrilled at the prospect. This was the perfect opportunity for an affair, concealed within the guise of a family visit.
