The Amazing son in law Chapter 615
When Lady Wilson heard the phrase ‘Thompson First’, her eyes widened in disbelief, nearly popping out of their sockets. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ find(ɴ)ovel.net
For a long time, she had yearned for Charlie’s luxurious villa, dreaming of moving in and making it her own.
In fact, she envisioned dying in that very house.
Local superstitions circulated, suggesting it was unwise to pass away in a hospital, as one might struggle to find their way home.
Another saying warned that one should wear a shroud before death, to avoid being naked in the afterlife.
There was also the belief that dying in a mansion could lead to reincarnation into a wealthy family, allowing one to relish in glory and riches in the next life.
Thus, Lady Wilson’s aspiration was to live in an upscale villa like Thompson First until her final breath.
Recently, she had instructed Harold to break into the villa, but it ended disastrously. Harold and his bodyguards returned battered and defeated.
Since that incident, she had abandoned the idea of forcibly robbing the villa, yet her greed persisted.
Her excitement soared upon learning that Christopher and Hannah were plotting to wrest the villa from Elaine’s grasp!
At that moment, Harold and Wendy had just come back home, equally exhilarated as they overheard their father and grandmother’s conversation.
Harold rushed forward, his voice filled with urgency, “Dad, did I hear you correctly? Is Mom actually planning to take Charlie’s villa from Elaine? What’s the outcome? Did she succeed?”
Wendy chimed in, her face beaming with enthusiasm, “Yes, Dad, what’s the latest?”
Christopher let out a heavy sigh, sounding disheartened as he replied, “In the last message from your mom, she mentioned that she had obtained Elaine’s cash, her current house, and Charlie’s Thompson First villa…”
Before he could finish, Lady Wilson interjected excitedly, “That’s fantastic news! Splendid! If the bank seizes our house, we can move straight into Thompson First! Hahaha! Elaine, that ignorant, pitiful creature! She deserves every bit of this! Let’s make her destitute and miserable!”
Christopher forced a bitter smile, responding, “Mom, even if the scheme works out, we’ll still have to share the profits with the partners. If we want to keep the villa, we need to pay those con artists several hundred thousand. The bigger issue is that I can’t get in touch with Hannah! She and her partners who orchestrated this scam have vanished!”
“Vanished?” Lady Wilson exclaimed, taken aback. After a brief pause, she frowned and mused, “Chris, do you think she might have absconded with the money?”
“Absconded?” Christopher replied incredulously, “No way! I can’t believe that. Why would she run away?”
Harold added reassuringly, “Grandma, Mom wouldn’t just run off with the money. Don’t worry!”
Lady Wilson shook her head, expressing doubt. “It’s hard to say! Look at where we are now; we’re partially finished, and Hannah knows we can never reclaim our former glory. And you, foolish boy, you’ve handed her all the cash. If she decides she doesn’t want to endure a miserable life with you, she could easily take off with the money!”
Her tone shifted to seriousness. “Consider this: what if she has sold the villa and pocketed tens of thousands or even millions? She would have ample reason to disappear! Perhaps she’s already left the country without a trace!”
Christopher defended her, asserting, “Mom, Hannah has been my wife for years. We have our disagreements, but our relationship is solid!”
Lady Wilson retorted coldly, “That’s only because she lacked financial independence! She depended on us, but now? The moment you gave her all your savings, the power shifted to her. She no longer needs you!”
Then she raised her voice, “If she secures Charlie’s villa today, her net worth will have skyrocketed with the tens of millions in assets! To her, you are no longer a husband but a liability!”
Christopher froze in his tracks.
Though he was reluctant to accept his mother’s words, a nagging feeling told him that something was indeed amiss.
