The Amazing son in law Chapter 185

As Lady Wilson envisioned her future in the villa at Thompson First, Christopher suddenly rubbed his hands together and sighed. He then said, “Mom, I’m planning to send someone to invite Loreen’s family over as our guests. After that, I intend to propose marriage between Loreen and Harold to the Thomas family. What do you think of my idea?”
“The Thomas family…” Lady Wilson sighed, responding, “Remember, Harold abandoned Loreen and left on his own! I doubt Loreen holds him in high regard.”
Christopher countered, “I believe that incident won’t matter much. Since our families are business partners, the Thomas family will likely see the potential benefits of a marriage between our children. Although the Wilson family may not be on the same level as the Thomas family, we have the backing of the Emgrand Group. Plus, there are many opportunities for us to strengthen our collaboration in the future. I’m confident that the Thomas family will be open to this marriage proposal.”
Lady Wilson considered this for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, “In that case, let’s extend our invitation and see if the Thomas family is interested in visiting Aurous Hill as our guests.”
“Alright!” Christopher replied eagerly. He continued, “Mom, the Thomas family is very esteemed and wealthy. If we don’t host them in a respectable villa, we risk losing face. If that happens, they might decline the marriage proposal.”
“However, if you can persuade Charlie to give us the luxurious villa in Thompson First, the Thomas family will certainly consider visiting Aurous Hill. They will also be impressed when they see us residing in such a prestigious villa. Don’t you think?”
Lady Wilson nodded in agreement.
Living in a villa valued at one hundred million dollars would greatly enhance how others perceived the Wilson family.
She promptly replied, “Tell your brother to bring his family here tomorrow! I will talk to them personally.”
Harold and Wendy exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with delight.
Jacob’s family relied on their family business for their livelihood. Additionally, Lady Wilson was still the matriarch of the Wilson family. Would Jacob and his family dare to refuse her request?
If the old lady demanded he surrender the villa to her, could he reasonably say no?
Given that she had always favored Christopher, if Charlie handed the villa over to Lady Wilson, it would inevitably become part of Christopher’s family in the future!

The next morning, Jacob brought his daughter and son-in-law to the Wilson family villa.
As Claire opened the car door, she couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, did grandma mention why she wants us to come over today? Is there something important?”
“She said we’ll discuss it when we arrive,” Jacob replied after settling into the car. “Your uncle, Christopher, and his family will also be there.”
Charlie frowned, instantly sensing that the situation wouldn’t be favorable.
Claire spoke up angrily, “What else could it be about today?! It must be regarding the villa!”
“Well, if it’s about the villa, Charlie can explain everything to your grandmother.”
Jacob didn’t dwell on it and simply got into the car, urging Charlie to drive as quickly as possible.
They finally arrived in front of the Wilson family villa at nine-thirty in the morning.
Upon stepping into the living room, Charlie raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Lady Wilson was seated on the sofa, with Christopher standing beside her. Harold and Wendy were positioned across the room. Additionally, several relatives and elders from the Wilson family occupied the living space. At that moment, the entire young and older generation of the Wilson family was focused on Jacob and his family.
Was this an intervention?
Jacob, known for his honesty and kindness, never expected his mother to orchestrate such a scenario.
