The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Twenty years had passed, and Jasmine found himself having dinner with his grandparents and their extended family for the first time. However, he hadn’t eaten anything yet, and his mind was racing.

He hadn’t disclosed to his grandparents and Jack that he had obtained the “Apocalyptic Book.” So far, only Maria knew about it. He had chosen to confide in her not only because she had revealed her own secret of nearly four centuries of life, but also because he felt an inexplicable connection with her. They were kindred spirits, confidants.

At this moment, Jasmine longed to see Maria as soon as possible.

He believed that he could only reveal the truth about the dragon’s fate, the “Preface to the Apocalyptic Book,” and the “Apocalyptic Book” to Maria. Even if she didn’t possess any knowledge of the secret, Jasmine felt that she was an excellent person to confide in, someone he could trust with the doubts in his heart.

Though he had never expressed it, ever since he had shared his deepest secret with Maria in her secluded courtyard, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart.

Despite having met only a few times, he already considered Maria his most reliable ally.

At that moment, the elderly Samuel Evans seemed to sense Jasmine’s unease and quickly changed the topic. He said, “Jordan, I’ve introduced you to your uncle earlier, and now I’ll introduce you to the remaining two family members—your other uncle and aunt.”

He pointed to Marcus and continued, “Jordan, this is your second uncle, Marcus. He is responsible for the Evans family’s international business.” Jasmine smiled and greeted him, “Hello, Second Uncle.”

Marcus stepped forward and embraced Jasmine warmly. He said, “Jordan, from now on, the Evans family is your own. If you ever need the resources and support of the Evans family, just ask!”

Jasmine nodded in acknowledgment, and then Samuel Evans introduced Martel, saying, “Jordan, this is your third uncle, Martel.”

Jasmine greeted his third uncle with respect, saying, “Hello, Third Uncle.”

Martel approached Jasmine gently and embraced him, unable to hide a sigh. “Jordan, I will always be grateful to you for what happened in New York. If it weren’t for you, I would have been blinded by self- doubt and might have destroyed the entire Evans family…”

Jasmine patted Martel’s arm reassuringly and replied earnestly, “Uncle Martel, don’t blame yourself. You were the biggest victim in that situation. You suffered the most. If it weren’t for you, my parents, siblings, and I might have lost our lives. So, please don’t burden yourself with guilt.”
