The Amazing son in law Chapter 774
Claire hurriedly inquired about the source of Charlie’s newfound two million dollars.
Charlie responded, “It came from my work with Feng Shui.”
Claire was taken aback and exclaimed, “Wait, you made two million dollars just from Feng Shui? That seems a bit unbelievable!”
Charlie countered, “Isn’t it even more unbelievable that the White family gifted me a villa?”
Claire was left speechless, unable to argue against his point.
Then, Charlie reassured her, “My dear wife, I understand your concerns, but you can relax. The wealthy client I assisted with Feng Shui resolved a significant business crisis and, in turn, earned tens of millions of dollars. So, I believe it’s only fair for me to receive two million dollars from him.” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ f͟i͟n͟d͟n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟.net
Feeling somewhat reassured, Claire asked, “Did you give my dad the entire two million dollars?”
Charlie nodded slightly and replied, “Yes, I gave it all to him.”
Claire, still anxious, said, “I just worry that my mother will be scheming to get her hands on that money! She’ll probably have some plans up her sleeve!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We can visit the furniture store tomorrow and use the two million dollars to buy furniture. After that, we won’t have to stress about your mother anymore.”

Meanwhile, at the Wilson family villa, Lady Wilson was holding a bank collection slip from the Agricultural Bank, her expression one of frustration.
They owed the Agricultural Bank over ten million dollars, and according to the bank’s policy, they were required to repay ten percent of the total each year, which amounted to more than one million dollars.
The Wilson family was in dire straits, having run out of funds, and it seemed that debt collectors were increasingly knocking on their door.
In fact, the one million dollars owed to the Agricultural Bank was a minor issue compared to the over twenty million dollars they needed to raise to settle their debt with the Merchants Business Bank.
At this moment, Christopher, concerned, asked the old lady, “Mom, it appears we’re in a really tough spot. Why don’t we sell all the mahogany furniture in the house to raise some money? I believe we could gather at least a million dollars to pay off the Agricultural Bank for now. After that, we can figure out the next steps.”
“Sell our furniture? That’s your solution?”
Lady Wilson scolded Christopher angrily, “All of that furniture belonged to your father! Don’t you feel any regret or sadness at the thought of selling it?”
Christopher replied helplessly, “What else can we do? If we don’t sell the furniture, we’ll be facing an insurmountable obstacle!”
Suddenly, Lady Wilson picked up a teacup and hurled it at Christopher’s feet.
The teacup shattered, causing Christopher to jump aside in shock.
Lady Wilson glared at him, her voice filled with anger as she said, “I told you long ago to hand over all of our family’s money! But you didn’t trust me and instead gave everything to that deceitful woman, Hannah! Look what’s happened now! Hannah has taken all our money and vanished! Are you happy with how things turned out?”
Every mention of Hannah made Christopher feel upset and uncomfortable.
She had been a master at deception!
For twenty years, she had pretended to love him and their children, acting as if she was dedicated to their family.
Christopher could never have imagined that she would abandon them during their most challenging times!
This betrayal hit him hard, and he felt deeply wounded by her actions.
He yearned to confront Hannah and express his fury!
Unfortunately, he had no chance to do so.
He had sought help from others to track her down, but no one had any information about Hannah’s whereabouts.
It seemed as though she had completely vanished from existence.
Seeing the furious expression on Lady Wilson’s face, Christopher reluctantly said, “You’re right, Mom. You always are. But our most pressing issue is that we urgently need a large sum of money to get through this crisis. I think we have no choice but to sell some of the furniture and antiques my father left us to raise the funds we need to survive!”
