The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 556
âClass reunion?â Elaine Ma said disdainfully, âYou guys are already a bunch of dying old folks, why
would you want to have a class reunion? Haven't you heard, a class reunion is just an excuse for old
lovers to go on dates!â
"Oh my God, shut up!â Jacob Wilson blurted, âThere will only be guys at the reunion, we didn't invite
any of our female classmates.â
âReally?â Elaine Ma frowned in disbelief.
"Yes, honest! You should know best how our class was. There were only a handful of female students
in our class, and all of them live overseas right now. So, there will only be us male students at the
reunion.â
âNo, I don't believe you! You can't go!â Elaine Ma shouted. âYou must be going to see that old lover
of yours! Do you think I don't know!"
Charlie Wade was stunned. Did his father-in-law have some romantic love story in the past?
"What old lover? It's just a bunch of male friends!â
Elaine Ma snorted disdainfully. She turned her pouty face to the other side and ignored Jacob
Wilson.
Jacob Wilson anxiously tried again, âCharlie Wade has to go with me anyway. Our teacher is
wheelchair-bound now, there is no elevator in the old campus, so we need a few young and strong
men to lift him to the classroom on the fifth floor. Just let Charlie Wade be my witness and report
everything he sees to you. If there is a female friend present, I'll face the music!â
Elaine Ma growled, âNo, I won't let you go!â
Jacob Wilson was a little annoyed by now, and he burst out, âMy old friends and I, we haven't seen
each other for years, how can I be absent?! Moreover, our teacher is eighty-something, this is
perhaps the last time I'm going to see him!â
Claire Wilson Wilson looked at her parents and said, âMom, just let Dad go. It's not easy to organize
a class reunion at his age, you don't want him to be a laughingstock because he misses the
gathering, do you?â
Elaine Ma glared at her and said, âWhat do you know? Your dad hooked up with a vixen in their
class for a long time. If I hadn't tackled him with a little trick, your dad would have gotten together
with that vixen! You would never exist!"
Charlie Wade found the remarks a little peculiar and strange. It sounded as though Elaine Ma was
the boyfriend snatcher here, but why did she act like she was being reasonable?
Jacob Wilson blushed in embarrassment and huffed at Elaine Ma, âJust stop, don't blurt out our
embarrassing past to the kids!â
Then, he turned to Claire Wilson Wilson and said anxiously, âClaire Wilson Wilson, don't listen to
your mom's nonsense. She always blabbers nonsense from her mouth just to frame me..."
Claire Wilson Wilson blushed as well. She didn't want to know about the love triangles between her
parents, so, she said to Elaine Ma, âMom, just let Dad go to the reunion, and you can go to play
mahjong. Wouldn't that be great?â
Jacob Wilson widened his eyes in astonishment and threatened, âAlright, if you don't let me go to
the class reunion, you can't go play mahjong either! Let's both stay at home and stare at each
other!â
Elaine Ma became outraged and shouted, âD*mn it, I'm going to make money at the mahjong
game! Summer is going to the United States soon, I must play a few more games with her before
she leaves. Now, I can make at least three to five thousand per game!â
Then, she turned to Charlie Wade and urged anxiously, âCharlie Wade, go with your dad later! Call
me immediately if there is a female at the reunion. I'll tear his face off!â
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 557
Jacob Wilson was intimidated by Elaine Ma's loud growl, but he spruced himself up and said, âA
straight foot has no fear of a crooked shoe!â
Elaine Ma glared at him and uttered, âAh, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Okay, I'm going out
to play mahjong.â
She then stood up and stretched out her hand at Jacob Wilson saying, âGive me your car key!â
"What? Why would you need a car for your mahjong game? I want to use it later!â
Elaine Ma rolled her eyes and said contemptuously, âWhy? Do you want to show off to your friends?
No way! Give me the car key, quick!â
Jacob Wilson sighed dejectedly and passed her the car key as he said, âDrive carefully, don't scratch
it.â
âArgh, shut up! If you provoke me again, I'll drive your car down the drain!â
Jacob Wilson was extremely agitated, but Elaine Ma felt as though she had gotten her revenge. She
put on her jacket, a triumphant smile on her face, and walked out the door.
After Elaine Ma left, Jacob Wilson sighed again and said, âCharlie Wade, go with me to the reunion
later. Some of my friends will bring some young people to help too.â
âOkay, Dad.â Charlie Wade didnât want to go but he had to.
Claire Wilson Wilson passed her car key to Jacob Wilson and said, âDad, drive my car then. I'll take
the taxi to work.â
âForget it.â Jacob Wilson waved his hand. âYour car is the lousiest model of the BMW 5 Series. My
friends will laugh at me if they see it.â
Claire Wilson Wilson shrugged and put the key back into her bag. She said to Charlie Wade, âYou
guys have to take the taxi then.â
Charlie Wade nodded and threw a sideways glance at Jacob Wilson thinking, âD*mn it, the old man
is too vain! Do you, out of all people, find Claire Wilson Wilson's 5 Series to be an embarrassment?
Do you know that her car is actually the flagship 760?"
Meanwhile, while Elaine Ma was downstairs and heading toward her car, she heard a familiar voice
calling for her.
âHey, Elaine Ma, wait!"
Elaine Ma looked toward the direction of the voice only to realize that it was Hannah, Christopher's
wife.
She was a little surprised by her presence. She had had a great time humiliating her and her
husband the other day at Summer's villa, yet, she hadn't expected that this woman would show up
here.
She asked curiously, âHannah, why are you here?â
The couple's expression of resentment floated into Elaine Ma's mind, and it made her extremely
thrilled and gleeful. Elaine Ma had always worried that her pension would be thrown down the drain
if the Wilson family went bankrupt, but unlike before, she had become the person who wanted to
see them go bankrupt the most.
It was because she had found a greater source of pleasureâto mock Christopher and Hannah!
If the Wilson family was completely bankrupt, she could insult them daily!
Christopher and Hannah had been mocking them for as long as she remembered, so she wanted to
pay back for what they did to her!
Hence, she was quite happy to see Hannah here because the loser had actually appeared before her
when she felt that the previous insults weren't enough!
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 558
Hannah donned an apologetic expression and said, âElaine Ma, actually, I'm here to apologize to
you..."
She cleared her throat and continued, âYes, I've always looked down on you in the past. Not only
was I rude to you, but I also often badmouthed you in front of Mother. I know my mistakes now and
I have deeply repented on it. So, I'm here to offer you my sincere apology.â
Then, her face flushed as she bit her lips and bowed deeply to Elaine Ma.
Elaine Ma was taken aback. She thought the lunatic was here to pick a fight with her, but
unexpectedly, she had apologized and bowed to her!
She had prepared herself for the verbal attacks, but she didn't know what to do now that her enemy
was being so humble instead of drawing a sword.
When Hannah saw that Elaine Ma had kept quiet, she put up her best dramatic disguise and knelt
on the floor, crying and begging. âOh, my dear Elaine Ma, are you still angry at me? I'm very sorry!
Over the past years, I had not figured out the truth. We are both sisters-in-law and outsiders in the
Wilson family. We are supposed to team up and get along!â
Then, she slapped herself on the face abruptly and cried, âElaine Ma, I was immature and short-
sighted, I hope you can forgive me. Let's be friends again, shall we?â
Elaine Ma was extremely thrilled by the abrupt change of Hannah's attitude!
Alright!
The aloof and arrogant Hannah had actually knelt before her and slapped herself! It was such a
satisfying scene!
She was never so humble and soft-spoken to her before, and today, she finally felt the refreshing
feeling of stepping on someone under her foot.
Hannah got rather hot under the collar when she saw the pompous smirk on Elaine Ma's face, but
she hid it under her distressed act and sighed, âElaine Ma, to tell you the truth, I've finally come to
my senses.
I've been so rude and harsh to you over the years, and I treated you so badly, but for what? I gained
nothing out of it. Right now, I feel very sorry and regretful. If only I'd treated you slightly better in
the past, we would not end up like this, would we?â
Then, she continued earnestly, âIt is all my fault, I only hope that you can forgive me for what I
committed for the sake of our relationship over the years.â
Elaine Ma was over the moon, but she said calmly, âOh, Hannah, you've truly surprised me with your
changes. I'm impressed! I thought you would never learn your mistakes!â
Hannah smiled bashfully and said, âHuh, see? I am and feel very sorry about it!"
For the last two decades, Elaine Ma had always dreamed that her pompous sister-in-law would be
so humble to her, and her dreams had come true today!
Elaine Ma couldn't help feeling proud and said with a smile, âWell, I'm not so petty anyway. Since
you've realized your mistakes, I forgive you. Let's let bygones be bygones.â
Hannah said in gratitude, âOh, thank you! Elaine Ma, you have such a forgiving heart. Let us be best
friends from now!â
Although she was saying this, inside her, she cursed the worst profanities at Elaine Ma!
âOh my f*cking god, Elaine Ma, you disgust me! How could I not know how you are after all those
years of getting along? I'll compliment you first, let you float on your so-called cloud nine, and then
I'll squeeze you dry!
Elaine Ma took the BMW car key from her pocket and said, âHannah, since we have dismissed our
misunderstandings, I have to go now. I'm meeting some friends for mahjong. See ya!"
Hannah had been wondering how to invite Elaine Ma for mahjong, so when the latter said that,
Hannah immediately stopped her and blurted, âHuh, are you going to play mahjong now?"
Elaine Ma nodded. âWhy, yes! Why?"
âOh, this is such a coincidence! I have a friend who is very wealthy and loves to play mahjong, but
her skills are not on par. But, you know, a rich lady like her doesn't even care about money, she
purely enjoys the fun the game brings her, so she doesn't even blink every time she loses tens of
thousands of dollars.â
Then, Hannah lowered her voice and said cautiously, âIt just so happens that sheâs looking for a few
friends to play mahjong with her every day, I wonder if you are interested. We can join forces and
win big cash from her!â
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 559
A flash of light sparked through Elaine Ma's eyes!
She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to find an easy mark after Summer left the country,
so she was thankful that Hannah had found one for her!
Besides, she assumed that the easy mark was richer than Summer because she could only win
several thousand from Summer, but this lady lost ten times the money in a day!
She loved playing mahjong with people who had deep pockets but poor skills. She could make a
mini fortune from the game!
If she joined forces with Hannah and agreed on some secret codes, they could win for sure!
With this thought in mind, she was overjoyed and excited!
Money meant everything to her to the point she would definitely replace her parents with money!
She was on the edge of her seat when she heard Hannah's proposal!
Seeing the excitement in Elaine Ma's eyes, Hannah hurriedly said in a low voice, âLet's rehearse our
little secret codes first. While we are at the table, we'll look at each other's gestures. We touch our
nose when we want dots; we point our fingers when we want bamboo; we purse our lips when we
want characters. We can work together and win big!"
Elaine Ma immediately agreed happily and said, âOkay, then. Let's play with your friends and see!â
Hannah pasted a wide smile and said, âDeal! She is very rich though. She lives in a Thompson First
villa. When can we go?â
âLet's go right now! Take a ride in my BMW!"
When they got in the car, Hannah couldn't help but smirk coldly as she looked at Elaine Ma's eager
expression.
In order to create a trap for Elaine Ma, she had hired two con women and spent a bit lavishly to rent
the Thompson First villa. Her goal was simple. She wanted to win all of Elaine Ma's money and
property, leaving her with nothing!
Of course, Elaine Ma didn't know that she was walking right into the trap. She was in the midst of
the excitement to bully the so-called easy mark.
While Elaine Ma and Hannah were on their way to Thompson First, Charlie Wade and Jacob Wilson
arrived at Jacob Wilson's alma mater, Bell Height University.
Charlie Wade was a little surprised as he looked at the majestic gate tower carved in white marble at
the entrance and the arch with the name of the school written on itâNational Bell Height
University.
He never imagined that his father-in-law, who always looked so useless and inept, graduated from
an ivy league!
In fact, during his era, a university student was scarce compared to now, let alone one from a
famous university...
Jacob Wilson sighed at Charlie Wade's surprised gaze and asked, âWhy? You don't think that I look
like someone who has gone to college, do you?â
Charlie Wade nodded blankly. âDad, you honestly don't look like you've graduated college...â
Jacob Wilson sighed again, but this time, there was a proud light on his face. âBack then, I was quite
popular in school, and my academic tracks were excellent. I would have furthered my studies up
north, but I didnât want to be too far away from home.â
Charlie Wade chuckled and asked curiously, âWhat happened later? Why did you become a
househusband after graduating from a prestigious university?â
Charlie Wade looked at Jacob Wilson and felt that it was rather interesting that he, a dignified
university graduate and the second son of a wealthy family, had eventually turned into a useless
man who was scolded by his wife every day.
Jacob Wilson choked for a bit and mumbled bashfully, âLater... Sigh, I don't want to talk about it, it's
nothing but bitter tears..."
In the middle of their conversation, a man about the same age as Jacob Wilson walked out from
behind the gate and rushed toward them when he saw them.
âHey, Jacob Wilson, long time no see! Wow, look at you, so smart and charming...â
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 560
Jacob Wilson stared at the man standing in front of him for a while before he laughed and said in
surprise, âOh my God, is that you, Eric? Eric Shaw? Wow, we haven't seen each other for about 30
years! Look at you, so smart and handsome! You must be doing very well, huh!â
Eric shook his head. âNah, I'm nothing compared to you, Jacob Wilson. You are, what the youngsters
nowadays say, the rich kid on the block...â
The Wilson family had been a noble family name back in the days.
At that moment, Lord Wilson had been in his prime, earning his first pot of gold when he plunged
into the business arena for the first time, subsequently earning himself an honored reputation too.
Hence, Jacob Wilson was living a good life thanks to his father. His pocket money alone might be
more than half of his classmates combined.
Because of this, he had attracted the attention of Elaine Ma from another class.
Jacob Wilson chuckled bashfully at his friend's remark, but before he could say anything, another
middle-aged man and a young man walked toward them.
The middle-aged man approached them and snorted, âHuh, rich kid my *ss! You guys don't even
know his current situation because you are not staying here... Let me tell you, the so-called Wilson
family is done, and our Jacob Wilson here is not doing so well himself...â
Jacob Wilson's expression turned a little gloomy. âHey, Aaron, what's your point? I live my life, you
don't have to poke your nose into my business.â
Eric cleared his throat and tried to ease the mood. âHey, you guys, look at yourselves, white hair and
all. It's been such a long time, why are you two still behaving like Tom and Jerry? You always got on
each other's nerves back in college. Why, couldn't any of you forget about the robbing girlfriend
agenda?â
Jacob Wilson sneered and said with a proud look, âHuh, why do I have to get on his nerves? He is
nothing but my defeated opponent. At that time, when she was dating me, Aaron was so jealous
that he drank like there was no tomorrow in the dorm every day, crying when he was drunk. I know
that he was so jealous of me to the point he wanted to kill me so badly! Hahaha!"
At this moment, a lot of elderly people surrounded them. They laughed upon Jacob Wilson's
remarks and added, âYes, that's right! Aaron was truly infatuated back then. I still remember how he
cried every day, his eyes were so swollen that he could barely see.â
"Yes! Haha! Everyone was saying what a hopeless romantic he was!â
As Charlie Wade listened to the menâs conversations, he couldn't help feeling astonished.
Had his father-in-law and this Aaron been rivals in love?
Did this Aaron also like Elaine Ma?
Elaine Ma was clearly a fire pit, how could she possibly have attracted so many people to jump in?
Were they that blind and dumb?
Aaron was agitated by the mocking and teasing. He glared at Jacob Wilson and growled, âHey,
Jacob Wilson, don't simply brand me with names before verification! Did you just say that I'm your
defeated opponent? What a joke! Did you win? Did Matilda stay with you in the end? No, right? She
dumped you and went to The States!â
Matilda?
Charlie Wade finally realized that they were not talking about Elaine Ma...
The group of friends laughed.
Someone patted Jacob Wilson on the shoulder and asked curiously, âJacob Wilson, why did Matilda
break up with you anyway?â
"Yes! We have been so curious about this for decades! Tell us, what happened?â
Jacob Wilson didn't expect that his friends would turn their focus back to him. He waved his hand
and said awkwardly, âSigh, let's not talk about the past...â
Charlie Wade caught a glimpse of heartbreak and pain in Jacob Wilson's awkward expression.
Was there any hidden agenda in the past between his parents-in-law?
