The Amazing son in law Chapter 581
Charlie glanced at Jasmine, a smile spreading across his face as he explained, “I came here with my father-in-law to join his class reunion with his old classmates. I didn’t mention it earlier because I didn’t want to burden you.”
Jasmine quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, you should have informed me beforehand that your father-in-law would have a class reunion here! I could have made arrangements to host him and his friends!”
Charlie chuckled, replying, “There’s really no need for special arrangements. It’s just a bunch of old friends getting together to catch up and have a good time. In fact, I think they might feel out of place if everything is too extravagant.”
He continued, “Moreover, I’ve never mentioned to my father-in-law that I have a strong rapport with you. He might be quite puzzled if the young lady from the Moore family personally comes out to greet him.”
Jasmine nodded thoughtfully, then added, “By the way, Mr. Wade, my grandfather is celebrating his eightieth birthday with a banquet tomorrow at noon. I was planning to send you an invitation tonight to see if you could attend. He has been eager to meet you.”
After a brief moment of consideration, Charlie responded, “I don’t have any plans for tomorrow, so I will definitely come to the birthday banquet.”
To Charlie, even though the Moore family didn’t hold immense power, they were still the wealthiest family in Aurous Hill. He believed that nurturing a good relationship with them would save him from many complications in the future.
Additionally, Charlie had a favorable impression of Jasmine. He found her to be intelligent and promising, which made him want to appreciate her even more.
Once Jasmine learned that Charlie would attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration, she eagerly asked, “Mr. Wade, should I come pick you up in the morning?”
Charlie quickly declined, stating, “No, that’s alright. You’ll be busy with the preparations for Lord Moore’s celebration tomorrow. I’ll make my way to your house on my own.”
Jasmine smiled sweetly and replied, “Alright then, Mr. Wade. Just come find me when you arrive tomorrow.”
“Absolutely, I will do that,” Charlie affirmed.
As Jasmine checked the time on her watch, she said apologetically, “Mr. Wade, I won’t keep you any longer. I have to head back and get ready for the banquet.”
“Go ahead,” Charlie nodded, watching her leave before he took the elevator to the tenth floor. Find the newest release on find•novel.net
Upon reaching Room 1008 on the tenth floor, the group of older gentlemen was taken aback by the room’s lavishness, each one of them holding their phones and snapping pictures.
They knew that the highest floor a notorious mob boss in Aurous Hill could access was the tenth floor of the Glorious Club, so they understood that anyone who could enjoy a room there was quite noteworthy.
This was a revelation for Jacob and his old classmates, as they clearly lacked the status or means to be here on their own.
Everyone was showering compliments on Charlie, with one person exclaiming, “This is all thanks to Jacob’s son-in-law! This place truly resembles a royal palace!”
Another chimed in, “I’ve lived over fifty years, and I’ve never been to such an extravagant venue! Jacob’s son-in-law is truly remarkable!”
As the praise for Charlie continued, Jacob felt a swell of pride. Initially ridiculed and dismissed, he never imagined he would earn such respect and admiration from his old classmates. It was a significant boost to his self-esteem.

Meanwhile, as Jacob and his classmates reveled in the luxury on the tenth floor of the Glorious Club, Elaine and Hannah had arrived at the Thompson First villa to play mahjong with a wealthy woman introduced by Hannah.
A middle-aged woman, elegantly dressed and seated at the banker’s position, was setting up an electronic mahjong machine. With a smile, she said, “Hannah, who is this sister? Why don’t you introduce her to me?”
