The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 661
In Lord Mooore’s opinion, Charlie Wade had always been the best candidate for the son-in-law of the Moore family.
With his eighty years of life experience, he knew at a glance that Charlie Wade was extraordinary!
Charlie Wade was the first man he recognized to possess powerful abilities that were comparable to a true dragon on earth!
In addition to the wonderful effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he was more convinced of Charlie Wade’s ability and wanted to lean on him.
Establishing a good relationship with the Webb family was nothing more than diversifying more routes to make even more money for the family.
However, the Moore family was considered rich even though they were not as wealthy as the Webb family.
There was not much difference between a net worth of 100 billion dollars or 200 billion dollars, it only equaled one thing—they already owned more money than they could spend.
Moreover, for Lord Mooore, money was no longer important. Lifespan and health were the most important of all!
Therefore, his dire wish was for Charlie Wade to marry into their family and become Jasmine’s husband. How could he tolerate others ridiculing Charlie Wade on the family’s territory?!
Donald and Sean were dumbstruck.
After Donald being so direct and blunt, they didn’t expect that Lord Mooore would choose Charlie Wade over the Webb family!
Donald felt his face burning with rage. He hated Lord Mooore very much for his biases and thought to himself, ‘D*mn it, you annoying old coot! How dare you put me on the spot in front of so many people! I’m the future head of the Webb family! You’ve tarnished my reputation!’
Sean was equally annoyed. He frowned and complained, “Grandpa Moore, as far as I’m concerned, this Charlie Wade Wade is just a feng shui scammer! Don’t be fooled by this piece of rubbish!”
Lord Mooore’s face immediately turned dark and sullen.
He glared at Sean and chided coldly, “I’ve lived for eighty years, I think I know how to judge people. I don’t need your guidance!”
Donald was equally sullen upon hearing this and said, “Uncle, does that mean you are taking this outsider’s side?”
“Yes!” Lord Mooore stated firmly. “In my eyes, Master Wade is the true dragon on earth, no one can compare to him!”
Lord Mooore’s loud and stern voice echoed across the yard!
Everyone froze on the spot, astonished!
Donald was extremely annoyed.
His pet peeve was the tarnish of his dignity, and Lord Mooore had literally just done so!
At this moment, he wanted to walk away and completely cut ties with the Moore family!
The Webb family was more influential and powerful than the Moore family. If the Webb family announced that they would break ties with the Moore family, the Moore family would inevitably be impacted by negative forces that would cost them at least several billions of losses!
However, if he walked away right now, there would be no turning back, and his wish for his son to marry Jasmine would never be granted!
After spending his entire life in a wealthy family, Donald knew very well about the importance of a good wife to wealthy men.
If Sean married an ordinary woman, she would not be able to bring him any assistance and may even diminish his will and determination to fight and strive for success.
If Sean married a celebrity, she would ultimately become a prodigal who sucked his fortune like a greedy vampire sucking his blood and spent lavishly, and that would eventually lead their family to bankruptcy.
If Sean married an unproductive rich girl with an irritating temperament, she would probably drag him into joining the bandwagon of the prodigal. It would be like dumping their billion-dollar inheritance into the ocean.
He had seen too many cases of wealthy men marrying the wrong women and spending the rest of their lives in regrets.
Therefore, he was determined for his son to marry the perfect wife who was gentle and charming and could bring great help to him and his family!
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 662
Jasmine was the best candidate as his son’s wife!
Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.
Following Donald’s gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.
Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene.
If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family!
More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean!
If Jasmine didn’t marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable!
Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family’s inheritance!
He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie Wade and let him live in their house!
Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my grandfather’s birthday, so, he is the king of the day. Please calm down and relax, let’s not destroy our harmonious friendship.”
Reuben was offering a chance for everyone to ease the mood and buffer.
Donald was still in a black mood. He didn’t want to turn things sour between both families, but he was still infuriated by the embarrassment.
As the saying went, ‘you cannot sell the cow and drink the milk’, but Lord Mooore actually wanted both. If he had to choose one of the two, he would undoubtedly choose Charlie Wade. However, since he didn’t have to choose, he definitely wanted both.
Hence, Reuben’s interjection offered a chance for both men to reconcile temporarily.
Donald cleared his throat and started, “Reuben is right. Today is Uncle Moore’s 80th birthday, I can’t ruin it. Uncle, I’m sorry for what happened just now, I was too impulsive. I hope you can forgive me!”
In this way, not only did he give himself an out but also Lord Mooore.
As the junior, he had taken the initiative to apologize on the grounds of Lord Mooore’s birthday and he had also shown that he was respectful to the elder as well as saving his own face.
In his opinion, the right choice for the moment was to ease the confrontation between himself and Lord Mooore. As for Charlie Wade, he had a million ways to kill him after the party was over later!
A warmth slowly spread over Lord Mooore’s face. He nodded and said, “Yes, harmony brings wealth. I don’t want everyone to be in an unpleasant mood on this auspicious day either.”
Then, he turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Master Wade, what do you think?”
Charlie Wade found Donald and Sean repulsive, but he didn’t need Lord Mooore to stand up for him. He preferred to torment and punish these pretentious b*stars himself.
Nevertheless, today was indeed Lord Mooore’s birthday banquet. It was unnecessary for him to make a scene with the other guests here. Even if he wanted to fight them, they should take the fight outside out of respect for the owner of the house.
Thus, he said flatly, “Lord Mooore, you are the boss today, the ultimate decision is on you.”
Lord Mooore hurriedly laughed and said, “Huh, it’s just a misunderstanding, it’s great that everyone can talk it through! Come, come, let’s move to the banquet hall, the party is about to begin!”
The wrath of resentment and unpleasantness was still burning wildly inside Sean’s heart, and his eyes almost burst into flames as he glared at Charlie Wade, but he couldn’t do anything since the adults had reached a truce.
He simply glared at Charlie Wade with his murderous glances and cursed inwardly, ‘B*stard, you’ll be done soon!’
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 663
The crowd started to walk toward the banquet hall where the birthday celebration was about to begin.
Lord Mooore exchanged a few words with Charlie Wade and went to sit at the main seat.
Sitting next to him was his eldest son, third son, and fourth son.
Among the second-generation heirs of the Moore family, Reuben’s father was the eldest son, and Jasmine’s father was the second son, but he had died young, hence, Jasmine was the only one left in this line.
As for the family of the third and fourth sons, they were relatively young and their children were still in the teenage or elementary school age, thus, they were not considered in the inheritance competition.
The rest of the guests sat down at their assigned tables.
Charlie Wade sat with the Quinton family, the White family, Albert, and so on.
Donald and Sean were sitting with a few local families. Some of them were families who were busy buttering them up, and they surrounded the Webb family’s father and son, continuously flattering them.
The table was full of mouth-watering delicacies as well as luxurious aged wine.
Jasmine couldn’t sit with Charlie Wade, but her beautiful eyes were constantly following him and never shifted for a split second.
Sitting on Charlie Wade’s right was Aurora, while Zeke sat on his left side.
After Zeke had taken his seat, he whispered to Charlie Wade, “Master Wade, the renovation at the Thompson First villa will be completed soon, may I know when do you plan to move in?”
“I’ll move in as soon as the renovation is completed.”
He had discussed this matter with Claire Wilson Wilson. The villa was so much better than their current place, but more importantly, they would stay on a separate floor from Elaine Ma. They would be grateful for the much-needed privacy and avoidance of her disturbance.
Zeke quickly said, “Master Wade, do you need me to buy some furniture and electrical appliances in advance? That way, you and your wife can just pack your bags and move in right away.”
Charlie Wade pondered his suggestion for a while. Although Claire Wilson Wilson was quite frugal, she had quite a high taste in terms of lifestyle and interior decoration. In addition to the renovation, the most important elements in a house were the purchase and placement of furniture. It would be convenient if he let Zeke handle everything, but Claire Wilson Wilson might not like it.
It would be best if he let Claire Wilson Wilson decide the furniture selection and layout according to her own preference.
Therefore, he said to Zeke, “Well, you don’t need to worry about those things. I’ll take my family furniture shopping. After all, everyone has different preferences.”
“Yes, that was my concern as well, so I didn’t take the initiative to furnish the house. By the way, I prepared a 10 million shopping card for you, it can be used in all furniture and home appliance stores in Aurouss Hilll.”
Charlie Wade waved his hand with a smile. “Thank you, but I won’t take your money. It’s not appropriate.”
Frankly, Charlie Wade was loaded. He had hardly spent the 10 billion the Wade family had given him, and besides, there was an additional 10 billion from blackmailing Japan’s Kobayashi Pharma.
He had more than 20 billion lying in the bank that he didn’t know how to spend.
He hadn’t included the Emgrand Group’s net profit that kept pouring in either. It would be a larger and more significant sum if that was counted in.
Zeke knew that Charlie Wade was definitely not short of money when he rejected his offer, so, he hurriedly said, “Then, I’ll keep the card for you first. You can ask me at any time if you need it.”
Charlie Wade nodded lightly.
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 664
At this moment, he received a text from Jasmine: [Master Wade, I hope you don’t take what happened earlier personally. With the Moore family around, the Webb family will not be too presumptuous.]
Charlie Wade smiled and replied: [Of course, I don’t mind, they are nothing but a bunch of circus clowns.]
Meanwhile, Donald and Sean were sitting in the VIP seats on the other side.
Sean looked at Jasmine, then at Charlie Wade, and saw that both of them were looking at their phones. When she put it down, he picked it up, and when he put it down, she picked it up again. It was obvious that they were exchanging texts.
As he watched their exchange, he was even more agitated. He had added Jasmine as his Facebook friend, but she had set her profile as private!
In fact, she rarely responded whenever he chatted with her.
However, as he watched the frequency of her chatting with Charlie Wade now, she was so acute and responsive, almost as though she was afraid to miss his message for even a second. She even had a sweet little smile on her face as she looked at her phone.
Sean was very experienced in courting girls, and he could see that Jasmine was indeed in love with Charlie Wade now.
As he glared at them, the wrath of fury started to ignite inside him again.
He leaned against his father and said in a low voice, “Dad, I want Charlie Wade dead! Tonight!”
Donald sighed at Sean’s agitated expression and shook his head. “Do you know what is the only thing that I’m quite disappointed with in you?”
Sean shook his head, puzzled.
Donald sighed again and said, “You are too impulsive and hasty. You can’t get your priorities straight.”
Then, he continued, “Charlie Wade is just a nobody with no background, we can kill him whenever we want. Don’t ruin the relationship with the Moore family because of him. The most important thing right now is to let you win Jasmine’s heart!”
Sean was still a little annoyed, but he nodded heavy heartedly. “I know. Okay, I’ll wait for another two days, and then I’ll get someone to kill him!”
“Calm down and observe him first. Although Charlie Wade is a nobody, he has many supporters in the city. Not only the Quinton family, the White family, and Don Albertt, but even the Moore family supports him. He can be a problem for us.”
“What should we do?”
“We first need to sketch out a perfect plan if we want to kill him!”
Then, Donald explained further, “Even though Albert is just a thug, he has many men under him. If we get on his nerves, he can easily summon thousands of men in a split second, so we should beware of him. If we kill Charlie Wade, he may retaliate, and if that happens, we may not be able to escape Aurouss Hilll alive.”
“Albert?” Sean frowned and blurted, “Let’s kill him first, then!”
Donald nodded. “Yes, that’s what I thought as well. First, let Albert be caught off guard and we’ll kill him when he doesn’t notice. Then, we’ll help Cain Lloyd take over his place and become the new king of the underworld!”
A sinister tinge flashed across Donald’s expression. “By that time, we will have a strong foundation of power and forces in Aurouss Hilll! It will be a piece of cake to wipe Charlie Wade and those futile families off the grid!”
Sean was getting more and more excited as he listened to his father’s plan and blurted, “So, Dad, when do we kill Albert? I can’t stand him anymore!”
“Relax, I have a plan laid out. My men will send Albert across the Rainbow Bridge tonight!”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 665
Sean shivered in elation at the thought of killing Albert tonight!
His father was right, Don Albertt was Charlie Wade’s firearm in Aurouss Hilll!
If they wanted to attack Charlie Wade, they must first remove his firearm!
Not only must they remove his firearm, but they also had to turn the firearm into their own!
That way, the firearm would become the bridgehead for the Webb family to march into Aurouss Hilll in the future!
At that time, Charlie Wade would pay the price with his own life for insulting them and tackling Sean’s girl!
The Quinton family and the White family would also pay the price for not taking the Webb family’s side!
Donald looked at Sean and said flatly, “You must learn to calm down and put up a poker face, don’t let your true emotions show so easily on your face and body language.”
Sean quickly retracted his grin. “Okay, Dad, I understand!”
“Good.” Donald nodded, putting Charlie Wade’s matter behind him, and he asked, “Have you prepared the birthday gift for Lord Mooore?”
Sean nodded. “Yes, I have. I’ve inquired and found out that Lord Mooore likes the works of Johannes Vermeer. He owns a tiny collection himself, so I specially asked someone to take a copy of The Geographer from our home gallery as the birthday gift. It is worth at least two to three billion, I believe he will like it!”
Donald nodded, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.
The Geographer was a treasure among treasures in the Webb family. With the painting as a stepping stone, he was certain that it would open the Moore family’s door and be more welcoming to their family, and they might even agree to the marriage proposal.
Finally, the birthday banquet had officially begun.
Lord Mooore walked onto the small stage and thanked all the guests present for attending his 80-year-old birthday banquet.
After a short speech, the next agenda was the guests taking turns to congratulate Lord Mooore and present their gifts.
Two bodyguards in black suits carried an imperial armchair onto the stage and assisted Lord Mooore to sit on the chair.
Reuben’s father, his third uncle, and fourth uncle stood up first and lined up on the stage.
They knelt and bowed before Lord Mooore before offering their gifts one by one.
Oscar, the family’s head butler, stood beside Lord Mooore to receive the gift while announcing the gift and its value to the guests.
This was also the tacit understanding and habit that the upper-class family had long formed.
“The eldest son, Tyler Moore, presents a tropical island in the Maldives, worth 500 million!”
Loud gasps echoed through the banquet hall!
Tyler was indeed generous as his gift was an island!
Tyler was Reuben’s father, Jasmine’s uncle.
Tyler spoke to Lord Mooore, “Father, I heard that you were not feeling well a few days ago, so I bought a tropical island for you so that you can go there to escape the cold when winter comes!”
Lord Mooore smiled and nodded. “Good, good. Tyler, thank you!”
“The third son, Branson Moore, presents a villa in Hawaii, worth 200 million!”
A middle-aged man who was much younger than Tyler said hurriedly, “Father, I didn’t expect that Tyler would give you an island, the villa really pales in comparison!”
Lord Mooore smiled warmly. “Nonsense, my son. I appreciate your thought. Thank you for your gift.”
“The fourth son, Anders Moore, presents a luxury yacht worth 150 million!”
Another middle-aged man hurriedly said, “Father, Branson and I bought the yacht and the villa for you. When you go to Hawaii, you can enjoy a day or two on the yacht.”
Then, he said complementing, “But we didn’t expect that Tyler would give you an island! We can send you to the Maldives with the yacht!”
Lord Mooore laughed. “Good, good, when winter comes, we can go to the island in the Maldives for a vacation!”
