The Amazing son in law Chapter 517
Kenneth looked down his nose at Lady Wilson and the rest of the family, indifferent to their desperate situation.
At this moment, his only focus was on getting back to Eastcliff as quickly as he could, followed by a visit to the city’s top doctor to address his erectile disorder.
Lady Wilson pressed forward, attempting to persuade him once more, but Kenneth irritably pushed her away, stating, “That’s enough. I need to pack my things now. This conversation is over.”
Lady Wilson’s complexion faded. “No, Kenneth, you can’t just abandon us like this. You know our current predicament. Without your assistance, we’ll face bankruptcy…”
She then shot a knowing glance at Wendy.
Wendy latched onto Kenneth’s arm, pleading, “Kenneth, Grandma is right. Besides, didn’t you mention wanting to invest eighty million dollars in our company? So far, you’ve only contributed ten million, and that’s not nearly enough to resolve our crisis!”
She continued, “How about giving us the remaining seventy million to keep the company afloat? We could be back on our feet by the time you return to Aurous Hill.”
The rest of the family looked at him with a mix of hope and desperation. Kenneth had the freedom to leave whenever he chose, but the pressure to provide them with financial support before departing was immense; otherwise, the Wilson family would face ruin.
Harold joined in, saying, “Kenneth, everyone in the upper-class circles knows that my sister is your lover. Her reputation is at stake now. If you leave, she’ll become a laughing stock!”
The family didn’t anticipate that Kenneth would react with fury to their comments!
He spat out a curse, his expression dark and stormy, “Money, money, money! Is that all you can think about? You should be grateful that I haven’t taken back the ten million dollars. How dare you ask for more? It’s laughable!”
Lady Wilson was relentless. She squeezed out a few tears, saying, “Kenneth, please, we truly need your help!”
The rest of the family echoed her plea, their voices overlapping like a chorus of beggars on the street.
Kenneth, growing frustrated, slapped Lady Wilson across the face and growled, “Get away from me! If you utter another word, I’ll have my lawyer seek compensation and demand the return of the ten million dollars! Deal with it!”
Lady Wilson covered her reddened cheek and fell silent.
If he truly pushed the issue to the point of legal action regarding the ten million dollars, they had no means to repay him!
With a heavy sigh, she watched as Kenneth grabbed his bag and walked out, flanked by his bodyguards.
Once Kenneth was gone, the remaining five members of the Wilson family were enveloped in a somber silence.
Lady Wilson was distraught, while Harold and Wendy felt lost. Christopher and Hannah exchanged knowing glances, both with ulterior motives.
In fact, Christopher still had some savings tucked away.
He possessed around ten million dollars in his account, plus an additional five million that Kenneth had given to Wendy as pocket money. They had initially intended to use this fifteen million to purchase a house.
This money could cover a significant portion of the Wilson Group’s debts, but he had no intention of doing so!
The current state of the Wilson Group felt like a black hole. Using his funds to settle debts was akin to throwing money into a pit with no hope of return. Why would he ever do that?
Moreover, since the company was registered under Lady Wilson’s name, she was the one liable for the debts. If the court took action due to debt failure, they would only seize her villa and personal assets, leaving him untouched. He could keep the fifteen million dollars as his safety net.

Clearing his throat, he addressed the family, ready to shift the burden back to Lady Wilson. “Mom, we still owe a substantial amount to the banks and suppliers. How can we settle those debts when they come knocking? I’m afraid the bank will seize this house and auction it off, so you’d better prepare for the worst…”
