Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 The Billionaire Has Arrived

Henry had knelt and begged this live–in son–in–law?

When the crowd heard what Alex had said, they all turned to look at him in shock.

Is what he said for real?

It seemed impossible. After all, the Hale family is extremely powerful, and Henry Hale is known to be arrogant and prideful. Why would he ever kneel and beg a live–in son–in–law?

He must have been drunk or drugged!

When Henry caught sight of the crowd’s inquisitive gazes, he felt fury stirred within him. However, he wasn’t in a position where he could rage at his guests.

“You piece of garbage! You’d better not regret what you said!” Henry huffed before hurriedly escaping Alex’s table.

The way he scurried off only proved the crowd’s suspicions about the integrity of that story.

They started to wonder how on earth a live–in son–in–law managed to make the son of the Hale family kneel and beg for forgiveness. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Because of that, quite a number of people started looking at Alex with approval.

However, most of them started scoffing coldly. To them, Alex was playing with fire by offending Henry.

“Did he really kneel before you yesterday?” Heather asked quietly.

“He was the one who started the bet, and he lost, so all I did was made him honored his bet,” Alex said flatly.

“Are you crazy? Even if he lost, you shouldn’t have made him kneel!” Heather was furious, but more than that, she was scared.

She had already suffered enough heartache after what happened today.

Added on to Alex messing with someone like Henry, their family was probably done for.

“I’m not the one who forced him to bet on it. He lost, so of course, he had to kneel.” Alex’s face was still a picture of eerie calmness.

“Have you considered about who you are and who he is? Who are you to honor such a bet? Are you stupid?” Heather asked angrily. She felt the urge to slap Alex across the face,

“What’s wrong with who I am?”

Alex was getting annoyed and he looked at Heather as he said frostily, “I don’t care about the Hale family. The Hales are just the same as the Wallace family. If I could destroy the Wallaces with one word, I can do the same to the Hales too.”

What?

Alex was the one who destroyed the Wallace family?

What a joke!

Everyone at the banquet including Henry was trying to hold their laughter back upon hearing Alex’s threat.

It seemed to them that Alex was good for nothing except making up lies.

“You!” Heather felt anger blowing up in her chest when she realized that Alex had gone too far off the rails.

The only reason you were able to destroy the Wallaces was only thanks to Mr. Sawyer returning a favor.

Who do you think you are? You just saved Mr. Sawyer’s life once. Does that mean he’ll keep repaying you?

When she caught sight of everyone else looking at them, Heather stopped talking.

She was extremely disappointed in Alex.

“Granny, I think you should get rid of all of them. How dare he make such a claim? We’re going to become the laughing stock of the town!” Jacob said.

“Mr. Sawyer has arrived!”

Demi cleared her throat and was about to chase Alex and his family out when the announcement came from outside.

Is Mr. Sawyer here to congratulate Demi?

The crowd were surprised and hurriedly stood up as they looked outside.

Demi and the other Jennings couldn’t believe the richest man in Nebula City had come personally. Demi hurriedly asked the siblings to help her walk outside and greet Mr. Sawyer.
