Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 132

Scrolls.

It took him some time to figure out the trick behind the assimilation process. Finally, he grasped the gist and started drawing the mysterious power of the essence hidden within the relic.

Three hours later, the stone turned into an ordinary one because Alex had completely assimilated the Mortal Force embedded within the relic. Over the past three hours, he felt the power incorporating into his system through his palms.

Alex got up from his seat tried moving around. Upon doing so, he realized the Mortal Force he possessed was a fold more than those he possessed before the assimilation.

He was overjoyed because he was certain that he would now be able to take on the hitmen Susan might send coming after him.

He reached for his phone and was about to get in touch with Charlie. He wanted the latter to stop wasting his time on Susan, but he received a call from Jessica before he could make the call.

“Mr. Jefferson, I have found the right place to move. Can you please borrow me some cash in advance?” Jessica requested. She wanted to move out from her current place before taking any other action. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Text me your account number immediately,” Alex replied nonchalantly.

“Consider it done! Thank you so much, Mr. Jefferson!” Jessica texted Alex her bank account number as soon as she hung up the call.

Alex immediately transferred a million to Jessica without any hesitation.

Jessica immediately texted Alex, Mr. Jefferson, a million is way too much.

In return, Alex replied, I’m sure you’ll need another fortune to renovate your new house, don’t you? Keep it for the time being. You can return it to me in the future. After all, you have quite a high wage.

Once again, Jessica replied, If that’s the case, I can only afford to pay you in instalment every month, but it won’t be a huge sum. Is that fine?

Alex replied, It’s fine. If there’s nothing else, you should get going and sort things out as soon as possible. I’ll be awaiting your return once you have settled down.

In the end, Alex wrapped up the conversation they had and continued getting in touch with Charlie.

However, his effort was to no avail because the call wouldn’t get through after countless attempts.

Alex had a bad hunch about what would be in store for him soon. Once he made up his mind, he put his phone away, deciding to check on Charlie’s situation in the evening.

In the afternoon, Heather picked their son up and brought him home. The moment she reached back home, she said, “Let’s head over to the gathering together.”

If it weren’t because Alex had given in to Wade’s request the day before yesterday, she would never allow Alex to keep her company since he would merely embarrass her in front of others.

However, she had to bring him along since Wade had deliberately brought him up in front of her in the morning.

“Sure,” Alex replied, grinning.

Heather had Carmen take care of Stanley before heading out with Alex.

Once she saw Alex’s brand new car, she asked as she couldn’t hold back her curiosity, “Has your supervisor bought you another car?”

“Huh? Oh! I brought the chairman’s car home because he’s away for a few days. He has to make a business trip,” Alex stated nonchalantly.

“Oh…” Heather nodded the moment she sorted out the confusion that had been bothering her.

Truth be told, she had been confused for quite some time. She couldn’t figure out the rationale behind why the chairman of Four Seas Corporation would bestow her husband a brand new luxury car.

Since Alex had explained the rationale behind it, Heather couldn’t be bothered by it anymore as the excuse he had made up seemed logical.

They boarded their respective cars and made their way to the hotel.

Alex had been sleeping with their son lately. Although Heather had turned a blind eye to what was happening, she had her own fair share of doubts.

She had always wanted to visit the chairman, but she felt as though Alex was hyper aware of something.
