Claire Wilson Wilson nodded without a word. She was rather indifferent and aloof about the whole idea
of moving to the Thompson First villa, but Charlie Wade was right.
They would not live on the same floor as her parents after moving into the new house. In this case, they
would have more privacy and personal space, unlike now, where there was no such thing as privacy
even in their own room.
Moreover, she promised Loreen that she would reserve a room for her in the villa and invite her to live in.
After all, it wasn’t so nice for a girl to stay alone at a hotel.
Charlie Wade couldn’t be bothered by the villa. He lived a great and lavish life before he was eight, and
spent the rest of his childhood and adolescence in the orphanage. He was already at the stage where he
was not pleased by external gains and not saddened by personal losses.
At this moment, Elaine Ma received a text message that made her smile when she glanced at it.
She lifted her delightful gaze and said, “An old friend of mine is asking me to play eight rounds of
mahjong at her place this afternoon. I won’t be home for dinner.”
Jacob Wilson asked in surprise, “Eight rounds? Won’t it take about ten hours then?”
Elaine Ma rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, “So what if it’s ten hours? I even played for two days
straight when I was young!”
Jacob Wilson tried a persuasive voice instead. “You said it yourself, when you were young, but you’re not
young anymore! Sitting for long hours makes one prone to many illnesses—lumbar disc herniation,
cervical problems, high blood pressure, all of which are caused by sitting for too long.”
Elaine Ma waved her hand agitatedly, “Ah, shut it! I’m feeling fine, don’t curse me!”
Claire Wilson Wilson frowned and said in a concerned tone, “Mom, I don’t mind if you play mahjong for
leisure, but please, there are two things I want to say, so listen. One, don’t play for too long and two,
please don’t play by the rules that will make you win or lose thousands of thousands per round, okay?”
“Argh, you’re no fun! We’re just playing to pass our time!” Elaine Ma said nonchalantly, “Besides, I’m
doing this for our family! Look at your dad who’s a loser. Look at Charlie Wade, who isn’t only a loser, but
also a liar who goes around deceiving people—I bet he will cause trouble to our family!
And you, you are still in the beginning of your business and have not earned any money yet. How else
can your dad and I retire leisurely? I’m depending on mahjong to earn some side income for the family!”
Charlie Wade was agitated by his mother-in-law’s harsh remarks. She still mocked him once in a while
and even felt that he was a big liar. In his mind, he imagined such a scene—he would slap her across the
face and said, “Since you think I’m a big liar, then don’t move into the villa that I’ve gotten from deceiving
people!”
His mother-in-law needed to learn some lessons for herself!
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 523
Since people were waiting for her, Elaine Ma did not even bother to finish her meal. She quickly grabbed
her bag before she took a cab to an older villa complex in Aurouss Hilll, the West Garden Villa.
An old friend of hers lived in the vicinity of this villa complex.
The West Garden Villa had been relatively prosperous and luxurious in Aurouss Hilll twenty years ago.
However, since it was already an old villa complex, it was not as luxurious and elegant as it used to be.
In the past, Elaine Ma felt that the West Garden Villa was already very good and luxurious. Moreover,
she felt that she would never be able to move into a villa like this in her lifetime.
Nevertheless, things were different now. When she thought of how she was going to move into the best
villa at Thompson First very soon, Elaine Ma felt a little dismissive of the West Garden Villa.
Her old friend who lived at this villa complex was called Summer Gibson, and Elaine Ma had met her
many years ago.
Summer came from a pretty good family background. Her husband made a lot of money in his early
years, and after he passed away in an accident, he left Summer with a lot of money,
After raising and sending her child abroad for further education, she would simply play mahjong for fun to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpass time every day.
Summer was very rich but she had very lousy hands and poor mahjong skills. Therefore, she would
always lose points to Elaine Ma whenever they played mahjong together. Elaine Ma would always have
more points and a better hand than her.
Therefore, Elaine Ma regarded Summer as her God of Wealth and would definitely be there whenever
Summer invited her over to play mahjong.
As soon as she rang Summer’s doorbell, the door was opened almost immediately. At this time, a
woman who was about the same age as Elaine Ma quickly greeted her with a warm smile on her face.
“Sister Elaine Ma, you’re here! Come on in!”
This middle-aged woman was none other than Summer.
Elaine Ma hurriedly greeted her before stepping through the door and saying with a smile, “Oh, Summer!
I am sorry to keep you waiting for a long time.”
After that, both of them headed to the living room. At this time, the other two friends who had gathered to
play mahjong with the both of them were already sitting and waiting for Elaine Ma at the mahjong table.
“Sister Elaine Ma, you are finally here!”
Another middle-aged woman said impatiently when she saw Elaine Ma walking into the living room.
“Come and sit down! We will start by playing eight continuous laps today!”
As soon as Elaine Ma and Summer sat down at the mahjong table, the mahjong game officially began.
As Elaine Ma rubbed the mahjong tiles in her hand, she turned around and said, “Summer, you have
already lived in this villa for quite a long time, right?”
After touching a tile, Summer smiled before she replied, “Yes, this villa was bought for more than ten
years ago, mainly for investment purposes. After my child went abroad, I was living alone in the city, but
the villa was too big for me. I could not help but feel very anxious living alone in such a huge villa.”
“Then, have you thought about renovating and refurbishing your villa?” Elaine Ma asked with an
interested expression on her face. “Let me tell you, my daughter happens to own a renovation and
refurbishment company, and she is also partnering with the Emgrand Group!
If you are interested in renovating or refurbishing your villa, I can ask my daughter to give you a special
price. When that time comes, she will surely turn your villa into a magnificent palace!”
“Sister Elaine Ma, thank you for your kindness,” Summer replied as she smiled slightly. After that, she
sighed before she said, “However, I am already planning to sell this villa.”
“Sell it?” Elaine Ma was very puzzled. “Why do you want to sell your villa? You are not short of money. I
know that your husband left you seven or eight different houses, and you have also invested in several
real estates yourself. Isn’t it good for you to keep this villa for investment purposes?”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 524
Summer shook her head before she smiled and said, “Actually, I am going to the United States after a
while. I am going to settle down there, and I am not going to come back to Aurouss Hilll anymore.”
At this time, Elaine Ma asked in surprise, “How are you planning to settle down in the United States?”
Summer nodded slightly before she said, “Didn’t I tell you that my son went abroad to study in the United
States? He has not returned to the country after leaving for the United States. He is already married
there, and my daughter-in-law is also pregnant now.
My son does not intend to come back to Aurouss Hilll anymore. Therefore, he wants to bring me over to
live with him in the United States so that I can help him to look after his children in the future.”
One of the women sitting at the mahjong table suddenly blurted out, “Oh, Summer! Are you going to sell
all of your houses and properties in Aurouss Hilll then?”
Summer replied, “I will just keep one of the smaller condominiums in the urban area. If there is an
opportunity in the future, my family can come back to Aurouss Hilll for a short vacation for a few days.”
Elaine Ma could not help but feel a little sorry and disappointed when she heard Summer’s words.
She was not sorry that she was going to lose a good friend whom she could chat with and play mahjong
with. Instead, Elaine Ma was upset because she felt that she would never be able to find another person
like Summer who was rich and bad at playing mahjong, but would never get upset and was always
willing to lose money to her!

At this time, outside the West Garden Villa, Christopher and Hannah had just parked their car at the
entrance of the villa and were waiting for their real estate agent to arrive.
Christopher intended to find a suitable house that would cost them less than ten million dollars.
Therefore, he had contacted a real estate company and had asked for a real estate agent to help him
find a villa that cost about ten million dollars.
The average price of the houses in Aurouss Hilll was a little more than thirty thousand dollars, but a villa
was naturally more expensive. It would be basically impossible for anyone to buy a brand new villa for
ten million dollars. Therefore, they could only afford to come and look at this old villa.
Hannah was very dissatisfied as she stared at the entrance of the West Garden Villa. “Christopher, don’t
you think that this villa complex is a little too old? Just look at the villas here! It looks even older than the
old lady’s villa. Why don’t we look at some other villas in another area instead?”
Christopher quickly replied, “There is no way we will be able to afford another villa elsewhere. Moreover,
the first-grade houses at Thompson First are actually pretty good, but you refuse to buy a house there.”
Hannah became very annoyed as she replied, “That piece of trash Charlie Wade owns a villa at
Thompson First! I do not want to risk running into Jacob Wilson and Elaine Ma there in the future! I am
not going to buy an ordinary residential house or condominium apartment at Thompson First!”
Christopher replied, “Therefore, it would be more cost-effective for us to buy this kind of old villa. It has a
very large and spacious area, and it will be very comfortable for our entire family to move in. It does not
matter if the villa is a little older because we can always renovate it again.”
After that, Christopher continued speaking, “You have to consider the situation that we’re in, Hannah.
Both Harold and Wendy are both single. Each of them will already occupy one bedroom each. Both of us
will take one bedroom, and that will already be three bedrooms.
If Harold gets married in the future, he will definitely continue living with us. When he has a child, we
have to make sure that the child has a room too. That is already four bedrooms!”
Christopher continued explaining, “And wouldn’t mom come to live with us in the future too? At that time,
we will have to make sure that she has a bedroom to herself too. We would need five bedrooms in total!
Thus, it would be most practical for us to buy a villa.”
Hannah asked angrily, “Why must your mother come and live with us? Why doesn’t she go and live with
Jacob Wilson instead?”
Christopher shrugged as he said, “Since the old lady has already severed all ties with Jacob Wilson’s
family, do you think that Jacob Wilson will allow her to live with them?”
Hannah was very dissatisfied and she continued her argument, “No matter what, the old lady cannot
come and live with us! I will not allow it! Anyway, the Wilson family is already done for, and we will not
reap any further benefits from the old lady any longer.
We should just send her to Jacob Wilson’s house. It is none of our business if he allows her to live with
him or not! We do not need to care about that old lady anymore!”
Christopher quickly replied, “Hannah, you might not know about this, but my mother bought a life
insurance policy about twenty years ago. It is a financial insurance policy.
The insurance payout after her death is at least six million dollars! If you drive the old lady out of our
house and ask her to live with Jacob Wilson instead, the six million dollars will belong to Jacob Wilson
after she dies!”
“More than six million dollars?” Hannah’s eyes lit up immediately as she asked in surprise, “She bought
so much insurance?”
The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 525
”Yes.” Christopher quickly explained, “This is the life insurance that my dad bought for her when he was
still alive in order to leave a way out for the future generations.”
After that, Christopher also said, “Why don’t you analyze and do the calculations yourself? How many
more years could my mother possibly live when she is already so old?
I think that she can only live for another three to five years at most. Let’s just let her live with us for
another three to five years. After her death, we will be able to get our hands on the six million dollars life
insurance. Don’t you think that it is very worth it?”
“Yes, it is worth it!” Hannah replied as she rubbed her hands excitedly. After that, she said, “We have to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtake good care of your mother now. We should not allow Jacob Wilson and his family to lay their hands
on your mother’s life insurance!”
Christopher nodded as he smiled, “That is only natural. Don’t worry, we will not split the six million dollars
with Jacob Wilson and his family when the time comes!”
Hannah hurriedly replied, “Not only will he not get a single penny from the six million dollars, but we also
have to make sure that Jacob Wilson pays half the amount of money for your mother’s funeral and burial
plot when she dies!”
At this time, Christopher subconsciously replied, “The old lady has already severed all ties with him. Do
you think that he will willingly pay the money for her funeral and burial?”
“Are you stupid?” Hannah could not help but burst out immediately. “The old lady might have already
broken off all relations with him verbally, but it does not have any legal effect at all!
When the old lady dies, we can go to court and sue Jacob Wilson if he refuses to pay half of the amount
that we will have to spend on the old lady’s funeral and burial. After all, before the law, Jacob Wilson is
still legally the son of that old lady, and he has the obligation and responsibility to pay for her funeral and
burial too!”
Christopher beamed as he broke out into laughter. “Wife! You are right. At that time, we certainly have to
ask Jacob Wilson to come out with half of the money for the expenses incurred. You are still the smarter
one between the both of us, darling! Hahaha!”
Hannah was very proud of herself and grinned as she said, “The two fools, Jacob Wilson and Elaine Ma,
are always trying to play with us, but how could they possibly be our opponents?”
As soon as her voice fell, a young real estate agent who was dressed in a small suit came over before
asking politely, “Hello, are you Mr. and Mrs. Wilson?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Christopher replied as he nodded hurriedly. “You must be the real estate agent from the
Lynnox Real Estate Company, right?”
“That’s right,” the young girl replied with a smile on her face. “Sir, madam, I have already made an
appointment with the owner of the villa, she is already waiting for us. We can go in and take a look
around the villa now.”
“Okay.” Christopher nodded before he replied, “Let’s go over and take a look, then.”
As she led them toward the villa, the young girl took the opportunity to explain the situation. “I will tell you
a little about the villa. The owner of the villa is a middle-aged lady.
She wants to get rid of all her properties as soon as possible because she will be migrating to the United
States soon. That is the reason why she is selling her villa at a slightly cheaper price as compared to the
market price. This is definitely a very good deal!”
Christopher and Hannah could not help but smile to themselves when they heard the young girl’s words.
It was simply perfect if it was cheaper!
If this villa was suitable, they could use the money that they saved from the purchase of the villa to
renovate and refurbish the villa instead!

Meanwhile, Elaine Ma was still playing with Summer and her friends. As they were in the midst of the
mahjong game, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Summer looked at her friends apologetically before she said, “I’m sorry but please excuse me for a short
while. I think the real estate agent is here with my potential buyer. I am going to go and open the door to
invite them in now.”
Then, Summer stood up before she walked toward the entrance and opened the front door.
When Summer saw the real estate agent standing at the front door with a middle-aged couple, she knew
that these were the potential buyers who had come here to take a look at her villa today. She smiled
pleasantly at them before she said, “Hello, please come in…”
At this time, the real estate agent quickly spoke up, “Miss Gibson, let me introduce you to the potential
buyers. This is Mr. Wilson and his wife, Miss Queen. This is the couple that I told you about over the
phone, and they seemed to be very interested in buying your villa.”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly before he took a step forward and said politely, “Hello, Miss Gibson.
My name is Christopher Wilson, and I am very pleased to meet you.”
The visitors were none other than Christopher and his wife, Hannah.
