Promising Son-in-Law

Chapter 34 The Martin Hotel

“A female companion?” Doris Lee was taken back.

“Yeah,” Colin Ward nodded his head, “Like, you know, those people attend to a banquet would usually

have a companion. I have a beautiful wife like you, so of course, I will bring you.”

Hearing his words, Doris got the expression on her face angry. She was suspecting that Colin might

already know that she was going to the banquet with Barr Martin, so he was saying this on purpose to

embarrass her.

“Colin Ward!” Doris was so angry that she could not help shaking her body, “Did you say this on

purpose?”

Colin was confused, “On purpose? What?”

He was asking Doris to be his female companion so she could dump Barr Martin, but the two of them

just thought it in an opposite way.

Doris could not hold it anymore and said: “Did you know that I was going to be Barr Martin’s female

companion, so you said those words deliberately to embarrass me?”

Colin was much more confused.

While seeing the tears lingered on the eyes of her, Colin explained in a hurry, “No! I mean I did know

that Barr Martin asked you to be his female companion, but I said that because I wanted you to dump

him. Nothing more, Doris.”

“W...what?”

Doris did not expect this at all, while Colin kept on.

“I don’t want you to go with Barr Martin. I want you to be my companion, so leave that scumbag alone

and come with me.”

She blinked her eyes and finally understood what he was saying, and her face blushed, “But...I already

agreed to be his...”

“Doris,” Colin cut in, “That bastard didn’t help us at all. You saw me at home right after you came back,

right? Didn’t it prove that he had nothing to do with it?”

That reminded her.

It seemed that she just asked for help, and then next second, Colin was released.

For the ability of Barr Martin, he definitely needed to get to the police station for this, but it was half an

hour's journey!

That night, she saw Colin was having fun with his friend while she was begging for help so she was so

upset that she ignored the details.

“So, he didn’t help? You were released by someone else?” Doris looked at Colin and said.

Colin nodded his head, “No, nobody helped. The police checked the camera and found out I was

innocent, so they set me free.”

“I’m sorry...” Doris felt guilty.

“Don’t say that Doris. I’m your husband!”

Hearing his words, Doris got her heart beating, and then she looked down shyly, “But if I don’t show up,

what do we do about Barr Martin?”

Colin replied to her calmly, “Don’t worry. I got this.”

They ended the conversation and then hopped into the car driving to the Martin Hotel.

While when they just arrived and got out, Fox Lee was there.

Pain in the ass!

“Whoa, Doris. I guess Mr. Martin only needs you to be his female companion, not your husband, right?”

Fox Lee sneered.

Doris glared at him, “Shut your mouth! Fox Lee!”

“You looking for trouble!?” Colin was even angrier, and then he turned to Doris, “Go, Doris. I’ll come

later.”

“But...” Doris was worried.

“Trust me.”

Having no other way, Doris nodded his head and went inside.

Seeing this, Fox smirked and said: “Ha! You loser! Your wife is about to get laid with another man, while

you did nothing but to drive her here!”

Colin was so pissed that he got his face turned into a smile, “You’re pathetic, Fox. You’re capable of

nothing but being the pain in someone else’s asshole.”

“I’m gonna kill you, you bastard!” Fox glared at Colin and threatened.

“Fine,” Colin took out his phone and called the scarred face, “The Martin Hotel, now, and then you can

have the rest fifty.”

“What did you do!” Fox was panicking.

Colin stared at him, “What? You afraid?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Fox raised his voice, “I’m not!”

“Well, it won’t make much difference if you are not.” Colin shrugged and then walked into the hotel,

ignoring Fox.

...

The same second Doris came in, Barr Martin found her.

“Doris, you came.” Barr walked to her with a satisfied smile.

While thinking of Colin’s words, Doris was disgruntled, “Barr Martin, you didn’t help me at all. Colin was

released because the police found he was innocent!”

Barr did not expect this at all.

He paused a second to think and then said: “What are you talking about, Doris? If it was not me, Colin

Ward would be there for days!”

“That’s not true! That night when I got home, Colin was already there! Are you tell me you’re able to set

him free in ten minutes?”

Barr Martin: “...”

“Since you were not helping, there’s no need for me to be your companion. I appreciate your

enthusiasm thought.”

“Doris!” Barr was gritting his teeth but on the surface, he still remained the smile, “You’re here and I

need a companion, so please, do me a favor, and next time, I’ll try my best to help you.”

Doris shook her head, “I’m sorry, but I came here with my husband.”

“Colin Ward?” Barr laughed as he heard some funny joke, “I didn’t even invite that loser, Doris!”

His mock irritated her a bit, but on the other hand, she started to wonder, why did Colin attend the

banquet if Barr Martin did not invite him?

Meanwhile, someone walked to them, and Barr took the chance to change the subject by introducing

them to each other, “This is Xiao Rongtao. He runs the subsidiary of Martin group.”

Then he turned to Xiao Rongtao and said: “This is Doris Lee.”

Xiao then looked at Doris with surprising eyes, “Ain’t you...”

Both Doris and Barr were confused by his words, so Doris opened her mouth, “You knew me?”

Xiao Rongtao was good at observing, and he noticed Barr might be interested in Doris, “No, I’m not.

Sorry, Miss Lee, I thought you were a celebrity I saw on TV.”

Hearing Xiao’s compliment, Barr was about to say something more to Doris, when another group of

people came in and said hello to him. So Barr had Xiao to greet Doris and he went to them.

“So, you’re called Doris Lee.” Xiao smiled, “A pretty with a nice name, no wonder Mr. Martin like you.”

These words discomforted Doris, but Xiao just kept saying.

“You’re smart, Miss Lee, to abandon that loser husband of yours to Barr Martin.”

“You knew my husband?” Doris was surprised.

“Oh, don’t you remember the Jiuzhou Hotel, Miss Lee?”

That name, and together with the grin on his face, Doris Lee remembered him at once.

“It was you!”
