Why did you hesitate to exchange your contact details with Dustin just now?' Karen immediately queried as soon as Dustin left their table. “Mom, how can you expect me to give a stranger I just met my phone number?" Eva lamented with a pout. “Dustin is no stranger to you! You two have basically known each other for a long time. Besides, he is a very capable young man. I didn’t expect Dustin would be so respectful toward his elders. This sets him apart from those rebellious scions. Hmm, he’s a fine young man unlike others that I know.” Eva was astonished to hear this. “Mom, is there something wrong with you? You shouldn't make such a judgment about a person's character after only meeting them for the first time.” “What do you know? There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dustin. Who cares about a person's character when he is a young scion of a wealthy family? He wears expensive outfits, he is talented and very good-looking as well so what else is there to be bothered about? You would

Kate was instantly terrified. She was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. Previously, she had the guts to yank Linda’s hair and curse her out because she didn’t know her identity yet. Now that she did, she obviously wouldn’t dare. Lucas’s expression turned dark. “What are you doing now? I have already given you the apology you demanded. I won't forgive you if you’re going to continue being so foul-mouthed and keep crossing the line.” Kate was so infuriated that she poked Chris back and chastised, “Are you out of your mind? What are you instigating her with?" After saying this, Karen poked her head out from behind Eva and said to Linda deferentially, “Excuse me, Madam... It was all just a misunderstanding just now. I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! Please be magnanimous and let us off!” Seeing Kate stooping low and submitting to her, Linda immediately raised her head and laughed out loud. But she looked extremely terrifying because of her swollen face and large red lips.

The crowd was awed by Chris' words. It was unimaginable that he dared to threaten not just a member of the Jones family but its helmsman despite the fact that he had a lower status. “What are you doing?" Stop getting him riled up unless you are trying to get us killed.” Eva said, pulling Chris a bit backwards. “It's alright. I can handle this situation.” Chris said in an assured tone. “Hahahaha! Kid, you’re too arrogant! You’re the first person who has ever dared to speak to Greg in such an uncourteous manner! You must have watched too many movies but you are mistaken as this isn't one but reality.” Gregory burst into laughter. He didn't take Chris' words seriously and considered them empty threats “I'll grant you a death sentence since you are already desperately asking for one!! All of you, discipline that bastard and make sure to break his arm.” Gregory roared furiously. The six burly guards immediately approached Chris and surrounded him. When the people watching from a

It was a silent drive back home. Even Kate who would usually nitpick on irrelevant matters just for the sake of nagging Chris was very docile. Chris' actions back at the restaurant were a bit of an eye opener for Eva and her parents. They were beginning to have a different perspective about Chris. Before, they were surely convinced that Chris was just a useless son-in-law who would never make any praise worthy achievement because he had always appeared to be simple-minded, non ambitious and he possessed no spectacular quality. As a result, Kate and Bruce never fully acknowledged Chris as their son-in-law because they believed he wasn't a suitable match for Eva. However, they were slowly beginning to rethink their decision after witnessing Chris' dominant behavior at the restaurant. As soon as they arrived back at their residence, Eva immediately went to the bedroom. Chris helped Bruce settle down in the living room. Afterwards, he also climbed the stairs, heading for the bedr

The next morning Eva got out of bed earlier than she normally did. She happily got dressed, preparing herself for work. She was in a cheerful mood as today was the first day she would be resuming as the vice chairman of the family company. She realized that breakfast had already been made and had been served at the table. Even her parents, Bruce and Kate were already seated at the table waiting for her arrival before they began eating. “We have been waiting for you to come down. I made breakfast. You need to have enough stamina on your first day as the Vice Chairman.” Chris said, greeting Eva with a bright smile on his face. Eva was stunned and was touched by the gesture. She wasn't expecting to have breakfast at home since she was leaving for work earlier than she normally did. She had already prepared her mind to catch a burger on her way to work. However, it seems that Chris was thinking about her wellbeing all along and so he must have also woken up earlier to make her br
