Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7377
Claire sent her parents back to their room to rest. Seeing the room in such good condition, the couple immediately felt relieved.
What they feared most was that they would suffer losses during their escape, and they were also afraid that after arriving on the South Pacific island, they would find the conditions on the island too harsh.
However, seeing that the ships that escaped were in such good condition, they naturally felt calmer.
Jacob looked left and right, touched the carpet and furniture in the room, then said to Elaine Ma: “Wow, everything on this boat is really nice. The furniture is made of high-quality mahogany, and the carpets are all very thick handmade wool carpets.”
“I remember carpets like that in the Middle East cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. Even the ship we escaped on was in excellent condition. Conditions on the islands in the South Pacific can’t be any worse.”
“Really?” Elaine Ma squatted down in surprise, touched the corner of the carpet, and asked in confusion: “Can this thing be that expensive?”
Jacob reminded him, “Have you forgotten the carpet we saw in the Abu Dhabi mosque? Each square meter of that carpet costs tens of thousands of dollars. What do you think is the difference between this carpet and that one?”
“Really!” Elaine Ma said with emotion: “This touch is a good thing.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but sigh: “It seems Charlie is a good person. He may have exploded, but he still cares about us so much.”
Jacob sighed and said with some heartache, “Didn’t you hear what my daughter said? She sold her house and car, then gathered up the cash and other belongings to support our family of three. She’s truly kind and righteous.”
Elaine Ma also looked a little sad. She took a few deep breaths and then said solemnly, “Husband, Claire, since Charlie has been so good to us, we mustn’t let him down!”
Claire stared at her mother in surprise, thinking that her humanity had finally been channeled.
Unexpectedly, Elaine Ma said seriously: “Charlie has worked hard and put in all his efforts to build this situation for us.”
“We can’t let their efforts go to waste. In other words, we can’t tell anyone where our family of three has gone.”
“Once we get there, we mustn’t let anyone know we’re there, because once it gets out, all of Charlie’s efforts could be for nothing.”
The glimmer of fantasy Claire had just ignited was instantly shattered. She laughed at herself, thinking that she was almost 30, but she still hadn’t seen reality clearly. She had long known what her mother was like, but she still hoped she would change. It was just a foolish dream.
Her father, Jacob, gave Elaine Ma two thumbs-up in approval and praised her: “Wife, you’re absolutely right. Right now, we have to have the courage to cut off our own arms. We can’t let Charlie’s efforts go to waste.”
As he spoke, he muttered under his breath: “Didn’t all those bastards involved in telecommunications fraud just get punished?” Once they are caught, no one can escape, and all their belongings will be lost.”
“If Charlie really turns out to be a fraud in the future, then all he’ll leave behind are his ill-gotten gains. Logically, they’ll all be fined and confiscated, but as long as no one finds us, we can rest easy in the South Pacific!”
Elaine Ma couldn’t help asking: “What if Charlie is arrested, will he hand us over?”
“Besides, serving time can reduce the sentence. And like when Horiyah got into trouble, didn’t they say that if the stolen goods were returned and compensation was paid, the sentence could be reduced?”
Jacob nodded and said, “I still believe in Charlie’s character. Since he made this decision and ran away, leaving us to enjoy our lives, it proves that he truly wants to protect us.”
“As long as we don’t show ourselves, we don’t have to worry about our safety.”
Elaine Ma breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: “It’s the same, don’t let anyone know anything.”
Claire listened to her parents’ murmurs, feeling sad, but suddenly she seemed to understand something.
He found that if he told some things and problems honestly to the people around him, it would be too difficult to explain, and they would be hesitant and embarrassed.
Just like this time, he took his parents away from China without saying goodbye for an indefinite period. If he told the truth, his parents would surely be shocked.
When they think about Charlie’s trillion-dollar fortune, they might get even more curious.
With his mother’s personality, which prioritizes money over life, she wouldn’t care what danger Charlie faced. She would definitely find a way to tell the world that she was Charlie’s mother-in-law.
At that point, it will be even more difficult to overcome.
But if you lie, things will be much easier.
Once you’ve lied, you no longer have to worry about your parents getting in your way. Even the biggest and most difficult problems can be solved more easily with the simplest methods.
Suddenly, she remembered Charlie’s lie and realized it. She also understood better why Charlie had decided to hide it from her.
If we keep it a secret, things won’t be so surprising, and things won’t be so difficult to understand.
At this moment, she finally felt Charlie’s situation and feelings, and the hatred that had been pent up in her heart disappeared in an instant.
After leaving her parents’ room, Claire met Sun Mengmeng and told her her thoughts.
Sun Mengmeng also felt that Claire’s way of handling the matter was actually more appropriate than telling the truth.
Honesty also tests human nature.
If the old couple were determined to find Charlie a wealthy son-in-law, it was not impossible that they would keep an eye on him, but this high level of vigilance and the other party’s mentality of wanting to break through the defense was like a prisoner and a warden in a prison.
Being on guard all the time will make both parties very tired and more likely to make mistakes.
However, if Claire’s method is applied, the elderly couple will no longer have the mentality of prisoners.
They will view their staff as a protective umbrella and will want to always be under it. This way, all work can be completed more smoothly.
So he immediately reported the matter to Sister Sun, and Sister Sun asked Margaret An for guidance.
Hearing this, Margaret An was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled and said to Sister Sun, “No one knows their father and mother better than their daughter. Let’s follow Claire’s idea!”
…
Charlie, who is in Melbourne, has no idea that in the eyes of Jacob and Elaine Ma, he has turned from a good son-in-law into a troublemaker.
The old couple who used to call him a good son-in-law now hoped they would never see him again in their lifetime.
After the two met, Charlie explained the situation to Duncan Li. After listening, Duncan Li said with emotion, “Mr. Wade, let me be honest. Since Mrs. Wade is willing to leave you, it means, firstly, that you don’t need to worry about her safety. Secondly, she definitely doesn’t want you to find her. If Mrs. Wade were held hostage, it might be easier to find her, but she and the other party have a cooperative relationship, which is too difficult.”
After that, Duncan Li said seriously, “I don’t think you should think too much about this matter. This requires careful analysis, not intensive effort. It might take a year or two, or three or five years.”
“If you focus too much on this, your important work will be delayed. If you trust me, just leave this matter to me and focus on your revenge plan. After all, Mrs. Wade left you because she wanted you to focus on this matter. What do you think?”
Charlie sighed in his heart.
He also knew that finding Claire would not be an easy task.
Even if the other party no longer moves Claire, Duncan Li will need at least a year or two to sort out these clues bit by bit.
If the other party notices something is wrong and uses the same trick again, the timeframe could be even longer. If he were to devote all his energy to searching for it, it would likely waste too much time and energy.
Moreover, Claire probably doesn’t want to see him. If she tries to avoid him, it will be even harder to find him.
Claire left him, not because she was angry, nor because she didn’t love him. She didn’t want to interfere with his revenge.
If he could get revenge one day, maybe Claire would come back again, and maybe the mastermind behind all this would be revealed.
However, if he fails to exact revenge and his identity isn’t revealed to the world, Claire will know he hasn’t and will likely choose to remain in hiding. He might postpone his revenge and the search for Claire.
Charlie’s current success, apart from the secret support from his parents, is also inseparable from his firm and straightforward style of doing things.
Now, Claire’s departure is certain. As sad as I am, I can’t just give up. I have to make a rational decision to achieve the best outcome.
So, he said to Duncan Li, “Inspector Li, I will place all the ninjas of the He and Ito families under your command.”
“I will also assign one hundred elite soldiers and generals from the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace, and all the AI models are at your disposal. Make sure you locate Claire as quickly as possible.”
Duncan Li immediately said, “No problem, Mr. Wade. I’ll start with Australia and Stephen Tang’s guidance.”
“China will arrange for people to track down these cars. After I finish my work in Australia, I will go to China to continue the investigation. You don’t need to waste your time in Australia.”
“Okay,” Charlie sighed and said, “Then I’ll head back to Aurous Hill first. I’ll leave the matter of finding someone to Inspector Li.”
Although Charlie said so, there was another thought in his mind, which was to return to Aurous Hill to see Maria Lin.
Unlike Duncan Li, a detective who is good at solving cases, Maria Lin’s intelligence is more in the unexpected and unconventional.
When he first arrived in China, he learned of her true identity, hidden only by her name. If Victoria were half as smart as him, she would have found him and killed him long ago.
Therefore, he wanted to meet Maria Lin and see if she could give him some useful tips based on her experience and wisdom.
