ONCE MOCKED, DISGRACED:SON IN LAW REVENGE Chapter 68. ERICA SUSPICIOUS FRIEND
"So, Miss Erica asked you to pick her up?" Morgan asked Nate.Nate looked at Morgan who was standing in front of his desk in his office. He had just told Morgan that Riley was a close friend of Erica's and yesterday she asked him to pick up Riley who was returning today."Yeah, it was Erica's request, so I had to do it," Nate said. He let out a long sigh as he closed the document he had just signed. "Can you reserve a restaurant for our lunch? Erica told me to take her to a nice restaurant.""Yes, of course. What would you like to eat? I'll recommend some of the best restaurants in town," Morgan told Nate."Hm... how about Sparkling Bouqet? I heard the food there is really good and it's famous for being a fancy and glamorous place," Nate said. He read about it on social media and appeared in the first ad."That place is very nice, sir. Very luxurious and five-star restaurant that not many people can book because it's very expensive. Many people book the place for private events, but f
ONCE MOCKED, DISGRACED:SON IN LAW REVENGE Chapter 69. LUNCH DATE
At that moment, from the direction of the restaurant entrance, there was a woman who came in with her sexy but elegant appearance. Her body was slender but curvy, her hair long and blonde. She walked in so gracefully that everyone there dropped their eyes on her. Everyone was stunned at how beautiful she looked. Some of them even turned their heads with their heads spinning because of her beauty.That woman was none other than Riley, Erica's friend. She smiled when one of the waiters said hello, and that smile made everyone fall in love with her beauty.Jerdin and Max who saw her immediately came over to Riley. They both scrambled to approach and tease her."Hello... I'm Jerdin.""I'm Max."Riley looked at Max and Jerdin in turn while throwing a smile. She did not return their handshake but she introduced herself anyway."I'm Riley.""What's a beautiful woman like you doing here alone?" asked Jerdin."I want to eat lunch," Riley replied.She was surprised that two men suddenly approac
ONCE MOCKED, DISGRACED:SON IN LAW REVENGE Chapter 70 PROVED WRONG
Jerdin and Max couldn't believe what they were hearing. Moreover, they were surprised that Riley was Erica's friend. And they were going to have lunch there. It was the famous Sparkling Bouqet restaurant. Not everyone could make a reservation there because only people from the upper class could do so. It was expensive, so it was touted as a restaurant for CEOs and Billionaires. People who were born with a golden spoon or who have million-dollar fortunes.Of course, Jerdin and Max didn't believe what Riley said because he knew Nate was just a poor loser who obviously wouldn't be able to eat at Sparkling Bouqet."Wait, you're Erica's friend, and you're going to have lunch here? At Sparkling Bouqet with Nate and Erica?" Jerdin asked with a furrowed brow."Yes. Nate took care of the reservation at this restaurant. Why is there something wrong with this restaurant?" asked Riley in confusion, "should we not come here?"Meanwhile, Nate appeared from the direction of the restroom. He saw that
ONCE MOCKED, DISGRACED:SON IN LAW REVENGE Chapter 71. SATISFACTION
They all then went to the reception where everyone who came to eat there had to confirm whether or not they had a reservation beforehand. Also whether or not their name was registered in the customer book. Otherwise, they would never let anyone into the restaurant.Sparkling Bouqet restaurant is very private, elegant, and luxurious. That's why, the owner always tries his best for all his customers to enjoy their meal in peace without any disturbance.When they arrived at the reception desk, Max was the first to speak to them as his friend was the manager there. And he had already secured a spot for lunch there. So, he used that to flex in front of Riley to get her interested in him."Excuse me, I'm Max," Max introduced himself to the receptionist. "I need you to call your manager to come here right now," he ordered haughtily.He leaned his arm on the desk, acting smugly in front of everyone and showing Riley that he was rich and well-connected."I'm sorry, but we can't just ask the ma

"I'm not lying. I told you from the beginning that my friend helped me book the place," Nate replied in an annoyed tone. He clenched his hands into fists, trying to restrain himself from getting angry in public."You still want to deny it? Didn't you hear what my friend who is the manager here said, even if only the president and the prince's family can book a place here? You should think first if you want to deceive people. If you get caught like this, it's not only you who will be embarrassed but also Erica because you've deceived her best friend," Jerdin checked with a grinning smile. He was satisfied that he had embarrassed Nate in front of everyone, especially in front of Riley."Then let's just see if my name is in the reservation book or not!" Nate exclaimed. He had lost his patience because of Jerdin and Max's annoying remarks and attitude, especially since Riley also doubted him."All right, you losers. Let's see who's lying here!" exclaimed Max. he then told his manager frie

"Nate, what do you do?" Riley asked as soon as Max went to the restroom.Nate immediately looked at Riley. "Oh, I....""You're wrong to ask him about work," Jerdin interrupted Nate. He smiled mockingly at Nate."What's wrong with me asking Nate about work?" Riley asked."Not wrong. But a loser like him certainly doesn't have a steady job. You should imagine how he lives his hard life," Jerdin said with condescension. "Since he was born, he's been living a hard life, so no matter how hard he tries, he won't thrive. Not to mention he's stupid." He laughed loudly.Riley looked at Nate with a furrowed brow. He wondered in his heart, what did Erica see in Nate if indeed Nate was a poor man who did not have an ounce of wealth. Even Jerdin said that he ate under his family's feet. That meant, Nate didn't give Erica any money at all.How could she endure being married to a man she couldn't be proud of? If she were Erica, she would have divorced Nate long ago because she couldn't stand living

Nate rolled his eyes lazily. All the while he felt that there was something strange about this atmosphere. He remained silent with the wine bottle still in front of him, with no intention of touching it.He just watched Riley's empty glass and waited for her to pour the wine into her glass."Nate?" called Riley, she furrowed her brow in confusion because Nate was just silent and did not quickly open the wine bottle. "You won't open it for me?"Riley looked annoyed. It was just a matter of uncorking the bottle, Nate had to be so arrogant in front of everyone. Or did he have a bad personality? That's why a lot of people disliked him and he was also a poor person who could never improve."Are you upset that we're having lunch here because of Jerdin and Max's kindness? And they also bought me wine?" asked Riley, "after all, it's a normal thing, you should be grateful that we didn't get into trouble and enjoy a delicious and luxurious lunch like this," he said.Jerdin and Max grinned in sa

Nate and the others looked at the man who had just approached them with serious faces. They were confused as to why someone was shouting angrily as if they had just done something wrong there."What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed with an angry expression on his face. It was Franco, the owner of Sparkling Bouqet."We're eating, can't you see?" snapped Max. He was already annoyed with Nate and now a stranger was interrupting them. Especially with the tension that was going on between them."How dare you speak disrespectfully to me, huh? Don't you know who I am?" Franco shouted. He glared at Max and Jerdin who stood with their hands on their waists."I don't care who you are, we're just not in a good mood right now. Do you understand?" Max scolded.Franco grabbed Max by the collar of his shirt in a rage. "I own the Sparkling Bouqet building. Did you know that? And you have the nerve to act insolent in front of me. Let alone eating here and making a mess!""Wh-what?" Max widened his e

Chapter 162 The end
Elsewhere, Nate was still at Flo's house. They had just had breakfast together and Nate also told Flo all his complaints. He felt relieved because he had told all his problems so that now Nate felt a little lighter. Before Nate felt so sad and didn't know who to tell."Flo, I am very grateful that you have been a good listener for me. I haven't known who to tell my problems to, and I've always kept everything to myself without telling anyone. Because I didn't have any friends who could listen to my problems," Nate said."You're welcome, Nate. You can make me your confidant. You can come to me whenever you have a problem and you can tell me everything until you feel relieved. That way, your burden is a little lighter," Flo said as she patted Nate's arm a few times with a smile.Nate smiled too. He hugged Flo as a thank you. "And thank you for breakfast. Everything was delicious and you're a very good cook despite the injury to one hand. Your future husband will be very lucky to have a

That morning, Erica went to the office with Nick. They chatted all the way about work or something they would do again later, and about Nick taking Erica to lunch at the restaurant he had looked up earlier."I heard that restaurant is very famous for its delicious cuisine and good service," Nick told her, "but if you don't like it, we can find another restaurant for lunch later."Erica turned her head sideways to look at Nick. "That's okay. I have no problem with the restaurant you chose," she replied with a faint smile."Perfect!" Nick exclaimed in a very good mood that day.Erica and Nick Lawson finally arrived at the company. As they got out of the car and entered the lobby, everyone who saw them walking together felt that they looked very compatible. But they couldn't say that for fear that they would be fired.But the staff preferred Erica to be with Nick Lawson who was of the same level as Nate who had no job at all and was just a poor man. Compared to Nate, Nick Lawson was more

Nate was getting ready to go to his company, but before that, he would go to Flo's house to help her change the bandages on her head, and put medicated cream on Flo's hands and head. Nate was very happy that Flo's wounds were slowly getting better. It meant he had done a good job treating Flo.And he wanted to see Flo move her hand again so that she could do her activities without difficulty. And maybe, later Nate will help Flo to get some work that Flo can do so that Flo can regain her life that was destroyed during Flo's life. He had to work very hard to pay off all the debts owed by his uncle.Moreover, Flo was about to be sold at a women's auction. Nate will make sure Flo gets a better life after this. Get a good job, have a boyfriend, and then get married. Nate's only hope is to see Flo happy because she has been so kind and caring to Nate.Nate has considered Flo as his precious friend because Flo has been willing to listen to his complaints. They had an exciting time and Nate f

That morning, Erica woke up early because, at 5.30a AM, Nick Lawson would pick her up in front of the house to go to the office together. She got ready while Nate was still fast asleep in bed. Erica didn't intend to wake him up because he looked exhausted.She didn't want to disturb Nate's deep sleep and she intended to leave once she was ready. Erica sighed repeatedly because she felt that her day had been very boring lately. Coming home at night and leaving early in the morning just to work until she felt like her body was about to collapse from exhaustion.What's more, her relationship with Nate was on the rocks so she felt like half her enthusiasm had disappeared. If only their relationship wasn't deteriorating, Erica would have confided in Nate and at least it would have made her feel relieved to have told Nate all her problems.Because that's what Erica always did before their relationship fell apart. And Nate will provide support, encouragement and say everything will be fine w

Nate and Flo have dinner together. They looked so happy as they ate and talked about many things. Nate doesn't even feel embarrassed anymore when he talks about his relationship with his wife. And Nate felt that Flo was a good listener."I'm glad you're willing to be a good listener for me, Flo. Thank you," Nate said sincerely."It's okay, Nate. I'm glad you're willing to share your problems with me. At least it can ease your sadness. If you have any problems you're having or anything you're thinking about, you can tell me. I will listen to your every problem, Nate," Flo said with a smile. She wiped her lips because she felt some food residue sticking to them, but Nate quickly grabbed a tissue and gave it to Flo. It made Flo's heart flutter to be treated so sweetly by Nate."You too, Flo. If you have a problem you're dealing with or something that's bothering you. You can tell me right away. I'll be ready to help you," Nate said. smiling as Flo smiled at him and thanked him for bringi

Nate was really upset that day. He didn't even focus on work anymore after learning that Nick Lawson was the man who was with Erica in the photo. Nate didn't know how far their relationship had gone, but Nate had no idea that Erica was so close to this man named Nick that they could go out together until Nick Lawson opened the car door for her.A man would do something like that if he had a special relationship with a woman. Because it indicates that the man cares and cares about his woman.And every time Nate remembers the scene in the photo, he always feels upset and angry. Nate had to find out what their relationship was like and why Erica didn't tell him and lied to him about his work. While in reality, she was having fun spending time with Nick Lawson."Damn, this problem makes me dizzy so I'm not in the mood to do all my work today," Nate said to himself while slamming the document he had been checking before he signed it.He then looked at the time on the top right screen of hi

"Do you need me to find out more about these businessmen, Mr. Nate? So you can decide which companies are free from corruption. Because right now, it's hard to find a company that doesn't do anything dirty," Morgan suggested."Instead of doing that, I want to ask you something," Nate said. He looked at Morgan for a long time. He was confused about whether he should ask and tell Morgan about his relationship with Erica, which was currently on the rocks. It's been a few days, even more than a week they fought and Nate doesn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again.Morgan frowned in confusion because Nate was suddenly silent and did not continue his words and instead daydreamed. Lately, she felt that Nate looked very sad."Sir, what did you want to ask? Why are you suddenly silent?" Morgan asked."Oh! Yeah, I... I wanted to ask you something about....""About Miss Erica?" asked Morgan, who quickly interrupted Nate's speech. She smiled when she saw the surprise on

After coming to Flo's house, Nate went straight back to his company. His mood improved because he got good treatment from Flo. So attentive to her even though Flo is also sick, but Flo is still thinking about her who hasn't had breakfast.Meanwhile, his relationship with Erica is now increasingly tenuous. Nate didn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again. But he felt that for the past few days, Erica had been avoiding him.He knew that Erica had a lot of work and had to work late and come home at night, but Nate felt that Erica's attitude was getting strange.Usually, no matter if they were angry or not, they still went to the office together. But Erica just left. Nate didn't even know when Erica left and what she left with.It was the same when she came home. Erica didn't call him at all to ask him to pick her up. Either because some time ago Nate forgot to pick up Erica to make her wait very long, that's why Erica no longer expects to be picked up by him.In

That day, Erica had a lot of work to do. After being dropped off by Nate, she went straight to her office, preparing some documents before she attended a meeting at nine in the morning with the staff. They were also discussing the ongoing evaluation.Erica organized everything as best she could so that no mistakes would be made and everyone would get a good score on their evaluations. Because Erica didn't want any bad comments about her staff where her grandmother was. Because that would show what kind of leader Erica was in the company and how she managed her office staff.Because if the office staff had bad evaluations, of course, it was the leader who had the problem. And if that happens, it is not impossible for her grandmother to revoke Erica's position as CEO of the Starry White company.Erica had earned the position of CEO at the Starry White company with the persistence and hard work that she had done desperately. Of course, she would not let her hard work go to waste. That's
