The Amazing son in law Chapter 1421

Elaine certainly had no desire to be just Charlie’s pet, constantly seeking approval.

However, her current predicament felt far too humiliating.

With the family lacking financial resources, she found herself nearly broke and without means. The opulent Thompson First villa still belonged to Charlie, leaving her with no claim to it.

To make matters worse, after losing over 2 million dollars in a game to Hannah, Elaine was acutely aware of her diminished standing within the family. Even Jacob, who had always been infatuated with her, had turned against her. In such a scenario, she realized she had no leverage to act superior.

Thus, Elaine understood that she could only act submissively and needed to keep Charlie on her side. If he decided to cut ties with her, she would be left with nothing.

Moreover, since Charlie still sought her opinion on expensive cosmetics, she seized the opportunity to flatter him.

Claire was taken aback when Charlie proactively inquired about cosmetics from her mother. Feeling exasperated, she asked him, “My husband, why haven’t I heard that you have friends in the cosmetics business?”

Charlie grinned and replied, “Ever since I started offering Feng Shui consultations, my circle has expanded significantly. How else would I come to know Liam, the owner of Oracle Pharmaceutical? If it weren’t for Liam, you wouldn’t have had the chance to dine with a big star like Stefanie, right?”

Claire nodded thoughtfully and sighed, “If only we didn’t owe anyone in the family, it would be better. Spending hundreds of thousands on caviar anti-aging cosmetics feels excessive for us.”

Elaine, anxious, quickly interjected, “Oh, come on! Who said it’s unnecessary? My son-in-law Charlie didn’t say that! So don’t spread falsehoods!”

Then, turning to Charlie with a smile, she added, “Charlie! Your mom’s appearance relies on you. If your dad decides to leave me, I’ll end up looking old and miserable!”

At that moment, Charlie addressed Claire, “Don’t worry too much about the cost. After all, I can turn the expenses into services through Feng Shui, so we won’t actually be spending money.”

“Exactly!” Elaine chimed in with enthusiasm. “My son-in-law is so capable! If we’re living in Thompson First, it’s all thanks to your generosity! I believe everything will depend on you now.”

She couldn’t help but express her gratitude, saying, “They say a son-in-law is like a son. I never believed it, but now I truly do!”

Claire stood there, stunned.

She could hardly believe that her mother, who had always been so critical of Charlie, was now praising him so lavishly.

Feeling at a loss, she turned to Charlie and said, “Well, you handle it as you see fit. I’m at a loss for words.”

Charlie smiled and replied, “I’ll go talk to him today.”

In truth, Charlie didn’t have any connections in the cosmetics industry. He had already made up his mind that after finishing his business today, he would purchase two sets of cosmetics as Elaine suggested—one for his mother-in-law and another for Claire.

The reason for getting something for Elaine was her newfound respectfulness, which had pleasantly surprised him.

What do men truly desire?

Aside from the woman they love, isn’t it about status and recognition? The source of thɪs content is fιɴdnοvel.net

Charlie, as Master Wade, was respected by the upper class in Aurous Hill, yet he had always been under Elaine’s thumb at home.

Seeing Claire’s expression, Charlie had to endure her demands, but now Elaine had finally acknowledged his worth.

Ultimately, with Elaine holding the financial power, if she continued to show him respect, he wouldn’t mind giving her a little extra support.
