Filed to story: Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches >>
At this moment, Kevin was standing in front of Axle Insurance’s main door with a proud face. He knew that today was the best opportunity for him to show off himself in front of Claire’s mother. He must seize the moment to prove his worth! If he could win her mother’s heart, she would be his in no time! When the time came, he could finally be with Claire Wilson, the most beautiful woman in Aurous Hill. He was in jitters as he thought of it!
Hence, he announced in a loud voice, “Uncles and aunties, don’t worry. The boss will refund everyone!”
Everyone cheered with joy and excitement upon hearing his statement, wide smiles were plastered on their faces. Everyone but Joe, who looked at Kevin with a sneer. That dude was too full of himself right now, he wouldn’t even know how he would end up being later. Just when Kevin held his chin high and enjoyed the cheers, someone suddenly pushed open Axel Insurance’s door from the inside. Later, Axel and a middle-aged man in a smart suit emerged themselves at the door.
The middle-aged man had an overwhelming aura despite his age-he was Don Albert! Behind him were a group of studly men who followed him closely. They were his personal bodyguards and they looked very fearsome and strong. Don Albert was too overwhelming in society that despite his infamous reputation, no one had actually seen him before. Hence, no one, including Kevin, recognized him. They only recognized Axel Jordan, the owner of Axel Insurance. Suddenly, loud gasps echoed across the crowd in an instant!
“Damn! Kevin really managed to call for Mr. Jordan! He is really amazing”
“Yes! It’s all thanks to Elaine that we can get our money back!”
“Elaine, Kevin is definitely the most perfect son-in-law one could wish for”
Elaine immersed herself in the flattery of her friends. Kevin had helped her to boost her dignity in front of her friends today. She wore a wide smile on her face. Her eyes as she looked at Kevin were nothing but satisfied and proud. At this moment, Kevin walked forward triumphantly like an arrogant hyena.
He couldn’t recognize Axel nor Albert, but seeing that Axel was quite respectful towards Albert, he mistook Albert for the boss.
Thus, he looked at Albert and said proudly, “Are you the boss of Axel Insurance?”
With an ambiguous smile on his face, Albert said, “Nope, I’m not the boss. I’m just helping him with some stuff, but you can tell me anything”
Kevin arched his eyebrows in acknowledgment and smiled disdainfully. “So you’re nothing but a sidekick! You’re not worthy of talking to me. Get out of my way and ask your boss to come!”
Joe shook his head and looked at Kevin as if he was looking at an imbecile clown. The man in the suit not only looked fearsome, but he also had several bodyguards with him. He was obviously some tough character. Instead, Kevin was digging his own grave by treating the man so poorly.
The oblivious Elaine added with a sneer, “Kevin, don’t waste your time with the worthless sidekick. The man next to him is the owner!”
Axel, on the other hand, gaping extreme shock! This Kevin and the old woman were so blatantly bold! How dare they insult Don Albert as a worthless sidekick and even order him to go away! Apparently, they didn’t know how to spell the word ‘die’! Who in the entire Aurous Hill dared to insult Don Albert so fearlessly? Even if there were, they would have been thrown into the ocean by the outraged Don Albert!
Just as Kevin finished his so-called intimidating threat, a studly man behind Don Albert abruptly stepped forward, grabbed Kevin by his hair, and slapped him multiple times on his face!
“God damn it! How dare you raise your voice at Don Albert! Do you wish to die?!
Then, he grabbed Elaine and slapped her across the face, and shouted,”Damn you old coot, how dare you insult Don Albert! I’Il tear that stinky mouth off your face!”
Boom!
It felt as if Kevin and Elaine were struck by lightning! What? The man in a suit in front of them was the fearsome Don Albert of Aurous Hill? Yet they had ridiculed him ignorantly just now. Soon, blood drained their face, looking as pale as two sheets of paper. Cold sweat covered their forehead and their bodies shook uncontrollably in fear.
Kevin was quick to react. He threw himself on the floor, knelt in front of Don Albert, and cried as he pleaded, “Don, I’m sorry, it’s my bad! Sorry for not recognizing you, sorry for insulting you! I have nothing to do with these damn old folks and their money!
Please, please spare my life!”
He knelt on the floor, slapping himself and knocking his head to the floor, wailing and pleading loudly. Never did he expect that the person supporting Axel Insurance was actually the infamous Don Albert! Not even his family dared to go up against such a prominent figure, let alone him! He regretted his action very much right now! His intention was simply to be on Claire’s mother’s good side so that he would have the chance to be in touch with Claire. Who would have thought that he’d offended the fearsome Don Albert before he could even make his wish come true! If his father knew about this, he would beat him to death!
The old folks were shocked as the unbelievable scene unfolded in front of their eyes. They had put high expectations on Kevin to get their money back, but no one had expected to see the young man kneel on the ground and plead to the man in a suit like a petty peasant… As for Elaine, who was extremely cocky earlier, she stood like a statue after being slapped multiple times on her face.
