The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 516
When Kenneth returned to the Wilson family home, Wendy hurried forward and greeted him with joy, “Kenneth, you’re finally home. Did the Weaver family fix you?”
Kenneth huffed in annoyance, “They couldn’t fix me at all, in the end, they asked Charlie Wade to cure me.”
“Charlie Wade? Charlie Wade Wade?” Wendy asked in surprise, “So, did he heal you?”
Kenneth sighed, “Yes, but just the necrosis, it’s still unusable…”
Wendy said indignantly, “Then you shouldn’t let the Weaver family go so easily, especially Jeffrey! It was he who fooled you into taking their lousy medicine and caused you so much distress and misery. You have to let them heal you no matter what!”
Kenneth’s expression was distant and cold. “I let the Weaver family go because of Charlie Wade, but when I return to Eastcliff, I will pursue the Weaver family on this matter!”
Wendy was stunned. “Ken… Kenneth, are you going back to Eastcliff?”
Kenneth glanced at Wendy emotionlessly and said, “Of course I’m going back. Aurouss Hilll has given me enough bad luck already!”
Wendy immediately panicked when she heard that her god of wealth was leaving. She clung on him and said coyly, “But Kenneth, I don’t want to leave you. Take me to Eastcliff with you, okay?”
Wendy knew that the Wilson family had no hope of bouncing back this time.
He had only given them ten million dollars out of the eighty million dollar investment that he promised them. It wasn’t even enough to cover the debt.
She had nowhere to go now. Everyone in Aurouss Hilll already knew about her being Kenneth’s mistress, so it was almost impossible for her to find a decent husband to marry in the city.
Therefore, the only option she had right now was to cling on Kenneth and never let go. This was the only chance she could start anew.
However, how could Kenneth take her to Eastcliff? He was married, what if his wife found out about her? World War 3 would erupt in no time!
Besides, it was useless for Kenneth to bring Wendy with him. He couldn’t do anything to her right now. She had lost the sole purpose as a lover.
So, Kenneth said in a direct and harsh manner, “No, I can’t, Eastcliff is not someplace you can go to. Just stay in Aurouss Hilll.”
Wendy shrieked frantically, “Then, what should I do?”
“What else can you do? We are over. As for the future, let’s see when I’ll be coming to Aurouss Hilll again and we’ll see if there’s still fate between us then.”
The entire Wilson family was equally confused and stuttered when Kenneth suddenly decided to leave.
Lady Wilson was expecting Kenneth to give them the remaining seventy million dollars as he promised, but if he left now, it would devastate the family to the point of kicking them into the abyss.
They had no other way to go except declaring bankruptcy.
Besides, due to the outstanding debts, even the deteriorating mansion might be put up to cover the debt!
Lady Wilson saw Kenneth as their floating boat in the ocean of debt. If he left, the Wilson family would be in despair again.
So, she pleaded to Kenneth, her eyes reddish and her voice hoarse, “Kenneth, if you leave now, our family is done! We are family, Wendy is your lover, you can’t just leave us!”
Then, she hurriedly blurted, “Why don’t you take us back to Eastcliff? We’ll follow you like loyal servants, you are our boss!”
Christopher interjected, “Yes! Kenneth, throughout your stay in the city for the past few days, we have treated you like a distinguished guest. My father saved your father’s life too! Please, I beg you, please be merciful and take us to Eastcliff.”
A dash of irritation flashed across Kenneth’s eyes. He sneered and said, “That’s so funny. We aren’t related at all, why do I want to take you to Eastcliff?”
He added, “Furthermore, yes, your father did save my father, but I’ve returned the favor by investing ten million in your company, so that’s it between us!”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 517
Kenneth turned up his nose at Lady Wilson and the rest of the family, so he couldn’t care less about their devastating status.
Right now, all he could think of was getting back to Eastcliff as soon as possible, then visiting the finest doctor in the city to treat his erectile disorder.
Lady Wilson marched forward to plead with him again, but Kenneth shoved her away irritably and said, “That’s enough, I need to pack my things now. End of discussion.”
Lady Wilson’s face turned pale. “No, Kenneth, you can’t just leave us like this. You know how we are right now. Without your help, we’ll go bankrupt…”
Then, she winked at Wendy.
Wendy stuck herself on Kenneth’s arm and pleaded, “Kenneth, Grandma is right. Besides, didn’t you say that you want to invest eighty million dollars in our company? You only gave us ten million so far, it’s not enough to solve our crisis!”
Then, she added, “Why don’t you give us the remaining seventy million to keep the company afloat? Perhaps we’ll already be up and moving when you return to Aurouss Hilll.”
The rest of the family looked at him expectantly and desperately. Kenneth could leave whenever he wanted, but he had to give them the money before he left, otherwise, the Wilson family would be done for.
Harold marched forward too. “Kenneth, everyone in the upper-class circle in the city knows that my sister is your lover. Her reputation is somewhat tarnished now. If you go, she will be a laughing stock!”
They didn’t expect that Kenneth would be enraged by their remarks!
He cursed, his face as gloomy as a thundercloud, “Money, money, money! All you can think of is money! You should be grateful that I didn’t take back the ten million dollars, how dare you still ask me for more money? Don’t make me laugh!”
Lady Wilson didn’t want to give up. She squeezed out a few drops of tears and said, “Kenneth, please, we really need your help!”
The rest of the family pleaded with him at the same time like the group of beggars by the street.
Kenneth was annoyed. He slapped Lady Wilson across the face and growled, “Get the h*ll away from me! If you dare say another word, I’ll ask my lawyer to seek compensation from you and ask you to refund the ten million dollars! Deal with it!”
Lady Wilson covered her reddened face and fell silent.
If they really irritated him to the point where he sought legal action for the ten million dollars, they couldn’t produce the money now!
So, she could only sigh in despair and watched as Kenneth carried his bag and left with his bodyguards.
After Kenneth left, the five members of the Wilson family fell into a silent and sad ambiance.
Lady Wilson was upset, Harold and Wendy were at a loss, while Christopher and Hannah exchanged sinister glances.
Actually, Christopher still has some savings in his hands.
He had about ten million dollars of saving in his account, and the additional five million that Kenneth had given Wendy as her pocket money. They planned to use the fifteen million dollars to buy a house.
The money could be used to pay off most of Wilson Group’s debts, but he wouldn’t want to do that!
The current Wilson Group was a bottomless pit. Using his money to pay off the debts was like throwing his money down the drain, for he would not get any returns from it. Why should he do it then?
Anyway, the company was registered under Lady Wilson’s name, so she was responsible for the debts too. If the court took action for the failure of debt settlement, they would only seize her villa and personal funds and would not include him. He could use the fifteen million dollars as his pension fund.
He cleared his throat and said, intending to toss the problem back to Lady Wilson, “Mom, we still owe a lot of money to the banks and suppliers. What can we pay them with if they come knocking at our door? I’m afraid that this house will be seized and auctioned by the bank, you’d better prepare yourself for the worst case scenario…”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 518
Lady Wilson was down in the mouth.
What should she do? What else could she do?
The Wilson family did not have other sources of income, they were deep in debts, and their capital chains had long been broken. The only way they could get out of this mess was to find investors quickly, otherwise, they would fall apart soon.
But Kenneth, who was most likely to help them, had also left. Who else could they find now?
Lady Wilson sighed and said, “Right now, we can only take one step at a time.”
Suddenly, her eyes shone brightly as if something struck her mind. She looked at Wendy and said, “Wendy, Kenneth gave you to Jeffrey Weaver, didn’t he? Although the Weaver family isn’t as rich as Kenneth, at least their net worth is around one to two billion! Why don’t you beg him to invest several million to our company to help us get through the mess?”
Christopher clapped his hands in excitement. “Oh yeah! How could we forget about Jeffrey! Wendy, you were in a brief relationship with him, weren’t you? I think he won’t watch us die!”
Wendy couldn’t care less about the embarrassment of her being around men. She quickly took out her phone and called Jeffrey, thinking that he could solve their problems.
However, she didn’t know that Jeffrey was sitting in a Land Cruiser, heading north.
The song North to Alaska by Johnny Horton was playing on the player, without a way to know whether or not it had been done intentionally by the driver. Jeffrey felt his heart getting colder and bleeding as he listened to the song.
Besides, his phone was confiscated by Albert’s men because Charlie Wade precisely ordered that Jordan and Jeffrey could not use their phone or surf the Internet. So, he didn’t know that Wendy was looking for him anxiously.
Wendy felt a little peculiar and surprised when she couldn’t get through his phone. She mumbled, confused, “What happened? Jeffrey switched off his phone. It should be time to celebrate since they’ve just solved Kenneth’s problem!”
Lady Wilson said, “Maybe his phone battery is dead. Try again later!”
“Okay!”
At this moment, the great turmoil that had just occurred in the Weaver family had spread throughout Aurouss Hilll like wildfire. It had created such huge turbulence, especially in the pharmaceutical industry.
Rumors had it that Jordan Weaver, the head of the Weaver family, and Jeffrey, his son and also the successor of Weaver Pharmaceuticals, were hurled to Mount Golmin. There was even a hit order against them, jointly issued by multiple prominent families. Everyone realized that they must have offended some VIPs.
No one knew for sure whom they had offended.
The rest of the Weaver family members dared not talk about it, let alone Don Albertt.
The news spread across the city at such a high speed that it soon reached Christopher.
He was totally devastated when he knew that Jeffrey and Jordan had lost power and were now on their way to Mount Golmin.
He told his family about the news. Lady Wilson’s blood pressure shot up in an instant and fell back in a daze. She would have freefallen into trouble if Christopher wasn’t fast enough to catch her.
Christopher helped his mother up on the sofa. The old lady wailed in anguish as she slapped her thigh and said, “Oh god, you want us dead, don’t you!”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 519
Lady Wilson fell into complete despair.
She didn’t want the legacy that she worked hard for her whole life to be gone just like that.
Besides, this villa was the only property she had in Aurouss Hilll.
If they went bankrupt, the villa would definitely be seized. Next, she, her son, and his family would be kicked off to the streets.
Then, she suddenly remembered that Christopher must have some money in his hands. She quickly asked, “Chris, how much money do you have right now?”
Christopher’s heart skipped a beat in panic. He blurted, “Mom, I don’t have much, just a few million…”
“A few million? Why so little?” Lady Wilson frowned in dismay. “Kenneth gave Wendy five million. Over the years, you’ve stayed here without any additional expenses and you even receive salary from Wilson Group! Where did all your money go?”
Christopher’s face twisted into a sad grimace. “Mom, I don’t have any savings! Yes, my living expenses have been quite low because I stay with you, but I still have to spend money on Harold, Wendy, and Hannah. I’m quite a big spender too, so I don’t have much savings.”
“If so, invest whatever money you have into the company first. It can at least drag the whole matter for a while. Then, I’ll find a way to get more investments.”
“Mom! I… I put all my money in fixed deposit accounts… I can’t withdraw them now!”
“Oh, just shut it!” Lady Wilson roared. “Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking in your nasty little mind? You want to keep the money for yourself, don’t you?”
Christopher zipped his mouth awkwardly.
“Have you heard of the saying ‘no eggs remain unbroken when the nest is overturned’? If the Wilson family crumbles, do you think you can live well?”
Christopher nodded frantically, “Yes, Mom, you’re right… but the money is really stuck in a fixed deposit account right now.”
“So what?” Lady Wilson growled, “Do you think I’m not familiar with banking matters? You can withdraw the money before maturity, you’ll just lose your interest, that’s all. Is that what you care about at a critical moment like this?
I’ll give you one day to withdraw all your money and transfer it to the company account. Then, I’ll call our creditors to see if we can come out with some sort of an instalment plan for the payment, at least it can give us a year or two to regain our composure!”
It had been very troublesome for the creditors to collect debts in recent years. Therefore, if the debtors were courteous and could provide them a clear installment repayment plan, most creditors would agree to the idea, especially if they could repay a little of their debts first.
Lady Wilson was thinking of using Christopher’s money to calm the creditors down and buy her some time to manage the debts. Otherwise, her villa would be seized next month!
Christopher was very reluctant and unwilling to succumb to his mother’s request.
He knew that Wilson Group was a bottomless pit now and he didn’t want to throw his money into the pit. He could only nod his head to his mother’s intense request and said, “Okay, Mom. Don’t worry, Hannah and I will go to the bank later and transfer the money to the company’s account!”
Lady Wilson was slightly relieved by his remark. “I guess you have at least ten million in cash, right? You transfer eight million first and we’ll see how things go.”
Christopher cursed his mother in his heart, ‘D*mn it, she is such a greedy monster! How can she ask for eight million when she presumes that I have ten million? I don’t want to give her even a single penny!’
He hid his disguise with a nod while winking at Hannah secretly. He said, “Alright then, Mom. I’ll go out with Hannah to handle the matter, you stay at home and wait for our good news.”
Lady Wilson nodded in satisfaction. “Okay. Go on now.”
Christopher dragged Hannah out of the house. When they were outside, Hannah shrieked, “What the h*ll, are you crazy?! How could you agree to the old lady’s ridiculous request? Do you really want to give her eight million? We only have a total of fifteen million dollars in our hands!”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 520
“No, I’m not!” Christopher yelled frustratedly, “I’m just trying to get my mom off my back! Hurry and spend our money quickly so she won’t bug us about it. It’s best if we can find a good house today and buy it!”
Hannah asked in shock, “What? Now?”
“Yes!” Christopher said, “My mom thought that I have ten million, didn’t she? So, let’s use ten million to buy a house. Then, we can show her the house purchase contract and tell her that we’ve used the money to buy a house. What else can she say then?”
Hannah grinned in delight and said, “Wow, Chris, you’re such a genius! Alright! Let’s go house shopping!”
When the Wilson family was in the muddy situation again, the Weaver family became the hottest topic in town.
What happened in the Weaver family was a harsh reminder to everyone that if you were not the best, you would likely be crushed by the people at the top of the pyramid!
Weaver Pharmaceuticals was one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the southern region, and because of that, Jordan and Jeffrey had indulged in the unlimited glory and luxury.
But now? In the blink of an eye, they had been sent to Mount Golmin and had become the docile ginseng pickers. In fact, they had to spend the rest of their lives on the mountain! It couldn’t be more miserable than that!
Meanwhile, Liam Weaver, Jordan’s illegitimate son whose existence was almost invisible in the family, had suddenly become the head of the Weaver family and the chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals. It was very shocking and astonishing!
However, it was definitely a new chapter for Liam and the Weaver family as he started to take the lead of the family and the company.
Besides, rumor had it that Don Albertt, the White family, the Quinton family, and even the Moore family were helping Liam to be elected as the chairman behind the scene.
This proved that Liam shared some kind of a relationship with these prominent families, which indicated that Liam’s strength would be improved by multiple folds on the basis of the Weaver family.
Before today, Liam was the target of bullies in Aurouss Hilll. As the illegitimate son, his status in the family was no better than the servants’.
Whenever he was out with Jeffrey, many people bullied him for no reason. In fact, most of them insulted him in order to please Jeffrey. They thought that Liam would not rise to a respectable status due to the suppression from his father and brother, but unexpectedly, he did rise up and immediately moved his way up the social pyramid.
So, starting from noon, many people came knocking on the Weaver family house’s door. They came with generous gifts to congratulate him on his appointment as chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals.
Among them were people who had tormented and beaten him. Not only did they prepare luxurious gifts, but they also hoped that Liam could forgive them and not seek revenge after he came into power.
However, Liam had never ever borne the thought of retaliation. He treated everyone who had insulted him with a kind smile and sincerity because he remembered Charlie Wade’s advice to not become the kind of person he hated the most!
He saw the humiliation and oppression as a test from God. If it weren’t for those horrible experiences, he wouldn’t have the good fortune to be supported by Master Wade and reached where he was now.
Therefore, he did not dare to be cocky, and he never wanted to.
He wanted to be a low-key good man and manage the company well so that Master Wade would be pleased by his growth. Besides, he hoped he could gain more experience and abilities to repay Master Wade’s favor.
