Despised Son-In-Law's Legendary Rise To Power

Chapter 8

Later that evening, another ceremony was held to officially welcome Klein into the Quinne's family. It was a ritual for each new members to the family. 

Klein held a glass of wine and hurried to catch up with Natalie who wanted to greet some of her friends who honored the occasion. He unintentionally smashed the shoes of an elegant young man who was coincidentally drinking wine as well. The wine nearly spilled on him causing him to quickly turn to see the bastard that almost made him stain his expensive suit. 

“What?!" Emile almost choked on his own spit. “Bastard, it's you again? Wait..! The last episode  didn't seem to bother you at all. It's obvious you want trouble, I can serve it to you if you want!? I am very generous!”. 

“I still have urgent matters to attend to, thanks for coming to my welcome party" Klein muttered under his breath and walked away. 

But Emile was not ready to let him go just yet. 

“You bastard, you have no manners at all I am not done talking to you" He deliberately shouted to draw attention. 

“Bastard?" Who is the bastard Emile could be referring to? People started whispering curiously. 

“Wait, take a look, Isn't Zane pointing a finger at Quinne's newly wedded-son-in-law? 

“How can Emile refer to the Quinne's family son-in-law in such a manner?!" Another asked. 

“Bastard! Klien, son-in-law of the Quinne's family, are you trying to act like you can't hear me?” Emile said. 

“What's with the noise?” Natalie asked as she and her friends walked down to where the noise was coming from. 

“Klein, our business is far from over! Just go down on your knees and have that piece of cake on the floor without touching it with your hands and I will let you be! You don't have to thank me?I am very generous! Ha ha ha!”

The guest began picking up their phones one after the other. It is undeniable that they wished that Klien would actually prostrate and eat that piece of cake from the floor. 

“Whatever biff you have against me can be handled another time, just let me be for my wife's sake." 

" Well, a freeloaders like you do not have the right to give me another option when I make a decision! I would advise you do as instructed or I would add to your suffering in the future” 

“What” Natalie let out a scream moving towards them but was quickly held back by Marvin. 

“Do not interfere in their matter Nat, we can't afford to offend them, if we do you know the consequences.”

Not wanting to anger the Hamilton family, Grace looked at the situation shook her head then turned to look at Klien,

“Klein? This is your personal business and it has nothing to do with the Quinne family, I will go in now to get a cup of tea and before I come back make sure to have taken care of this mess!”. She turned and left.

Klein walked up to Natalie holding her hand “Do you want me to honor his request? I could still decline if you say so, Natalie”

"No, just do as he requested of you and get done with”

The invitees were getting excited watching the show. Slowly Klein prepared to go on his knees and eat the cake, but a man in his mid 70s walked in. 

“ What's going on? Hamilton Smith asked Emile.

“Having fun, Dad”

Smith immediately went on one knee and looked up to Klein apologetically, 

“Please forgive my son for his impudence. If not, I know I will pay mercilessly for my son's nonchalant behavior” he knelt In Front of him holding his foot. 

Klein took a deep breath, confused about what was happening! 

“You bastard, you have been nothing but trouble to our family, go down on your knees and apologize" Smith who was still in his kneeling position forced Zane to follow suit. 

“ What!!? Father, what's going on?" He gulped in disbelief"

 “Shut up and do as instructed" 

“No dad" 

Smith stood up and threw punches at his son. He punched him, not bothered to answer his questions. 

“After causing so much trouble here you still have the mind to ask for an explanation? What other explanations do you need? You are such a bastard! 

Zane curled on the floor screaming in pain.

“Prostrate In Front of him and apologize" 

" Nover, I won't father! I can't possibly kneel In Front of a worthless loser like him” Emile struggled to speak while trying to wipe off the blood from the side of his mouth. 

“Okay since you have made your decision also note that you have no dime under your name.” 

“You are kidding right dad?”

“I wish I was son, now at the count of one if you do not go on your knees and ask for forgiveness, you will regret the day you were born"

Seeing the seriousness in his fathers face, he held back the anger that melted into shame, moving towards Klein, realizing his delay, Smith kicked the back of his legs forcing him to go on his knees. 

“Apologize immediately” he screamed. 

 Emile was filled with shame, he regretted his actions for ever attempting to mistreat him. He couldn't imagine how he was going to lift up his head after that day. However he had to put his pride aside and do the needful. 

“Klein I… I am sorry! I am sorry for treating you badly”

“Mr Klein, I promise to discipline my son accordingly please do not put it to heart"

Noticing that White Smith must have traced his identity, he brought his lips close to Smith's ear “I don't want anyone to know my real identity as a son from the Fu group, including your son. This should be a secret between you and I” 

“Thank you Klien, '' Smith said and took his leave. The invitees and Quinne's family were yet to digest what had actually just happened. 

“What just happened Klein?” Natalie asked her husband. 

“you heard him right, he was actually discipling his son for his numerous wrongdoings and today happened to be the peak of it all.” Klein said, trying to follow her. 

 “Do not come after me, each time I see you everything I feel is pain." She said running off. 

Hurt by her words, Klein excused himself to their room and lay on the floor. 

“Doing what you know best" Natalie cursed walking into the bathroom. “ You better get something to do with your life
