The Amazing son in law Chapter 597
As soon as the other party heard his words, he quickly responded, “Villa C11 at Thompson First. Make sure to bring your house deed with you. If you think about calling the police, I’ll kill your mother-in-law right away!”
Charlie replied without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll head there right away.”
After ending the call, Charlie returned to the private room and told Jacob, “Dad, I need to step out for a bit. You can keep enjoying yourself here with your friends. Just let the waitress know if you need anything; it’s all on Albert’s tab.”
“Alright,” Jacob nodded and gave Charlie a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “My dear son-in-law, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me today. Without your help, I would have felt so embarrassed and lost a lot of face.”
Charlie smiled gently and replied, “Dad, I’ve realized today that it hasn’t been easy for you all these years. As your son-in-law, it’s only natural for me to help you regain some face and respect!”
Jacob felt a wave of emotion wash over him as he nodded appreciatively.
Charlie chose not to say anything more; he simply stood up and exited the room.
Instead of going home to grab his house deed, he hailed a cab and directed the driver straight to the villa at Thompson First.
On his way there, he immediately called Albert.
As soon as Albert picked up, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, how can I assist you?”
Charlie quickly explained, “I need your men to come to Thompson First. My mother-in-law has lost over sixty million dollars in a mahjong game, and she’s being held hostage. Something isn’t right here, and I need you to accompany me to sort this out.”
Albert’s anger flared at Charlie’s words.
How dare someone set a trap for Charlie’s mother-in-law in Aurous Hill?
This was a clear invitation to disaster!
“Mr. Wade, I’ll gather my men and take care of that scoundrel right away!” Albert vowed.
Before long, Charlie arrived at the villa where his mother-in-law was being held.
He knocked on the front door, and as he entered, he was met with a sight that made his heart sink. About a dozen gangsters were surrounding his disheveled mother-in-law in the living room. Her face was bruised and swollen from the beating, and she looked utterly defeated.
Charlie noticed two unfamiliar middle-aged women in the villa, and to his surprise, Hannah was among them.
Taken aback, Charlie wondered why Hannah was there.
Hannah felt a pang of guilt upon seeing him but quickly composed herself.
She rationalized that it wasn’t her fault Elaine lost money to Linda; after all, she hadn’t forced Elaine to play. She was merely a spectator, so what could Charlie possibly do to her?
When Elaine spotted Charlie walking in, she broke down in tears, exclaiming, “Charlie, my dear son-in-law! Why did it take you so long? I was so worried!”
Charlie looked at her and asked, “Mom, how did you end up losing more than sixty million dollars playing mahjong?”
“I don’t know how I got so unlucky!” Elaine cried. “Your aunt invited me to join her and her friends for a few games, and I thought it would be fun. I didn’t expect to lose so much money! They even forced me to mortgage your villa at Thompson First just to continue playing. I had no choice…”
Elaine’s anger flared as she added, “I suspect they’re all working together to cheat me!”
Charlie scoffed and replied, “You don’t need to suspect anything. They’re clearly trying to con you.”
Linda piped up, “Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Everyone agreed to play mahjong willingly. If your mother-in-law has bad luck, that’s on her!”
Hudson quickly interjected, “Second Aunt, why waste your breath on him? Let me handle this!”
He glared at Charlie and demanded, “Hand over your house deed now! I also want a voluntary transfer statement! If you don’t comply, neither you nor your mother-in-law will leave this villa today!”
“Oh,” Charlie responded nonchalantly. “I didn’t bring my house deed with me.” The source of thɪs content is FιndNovel.net
Elaine’s anxiety spiked as she lost her composure. Her expression shifted to one of fury as she exclaimed, “Charlie! Are you trying to get me killed? Didn’t I tell you to bring the house deed to save me? Are you deaf?”
Charlie replied calmly, “I’m sorry, Mom. I promised Claire I’d move into the villa with her next month after the renovations are done. I can’t break that promise.”
Elaine cursed, “So you’d rather keep your promise to Claire than save my life? I’ll be done for if you don’t hand over the villa!”
Charlie assured her, “You won’t die so easily with me here.”
