THE INFAMOUS SON-IN-LAW BECAME FAMOUS

Pleading for his forgiveness

The butler of Liam’s Grandpa Mr Smith was pacing around in his room, with a phone in his ear. He’d actually told him about Liam’s decision about returning home.

Grandpa Kendrid was so happy, he didn’t believe after years of looking for his grandson that he could finally find him. At first he thought it was his wishful thinking, but now it has become a reality.

“Really? I don’t believe you,” His voice boomed from the other end.

“I’m not joking Grandmaster, he’d be returning sooner that expected,” Mr Smith said and Grandpa Kendrid Joy knew no boundaries.

“Did he tell you when he’d be returning?” He asked.

“Not yet Sir, he’s still very much busy for now, but I’m working towards bringing him home as soon as possible, so rest assured,” Mr Smith replied and he sighed.

“Thank goodness he’d be back, at least I won’t bother about my legacy going down the drain without an heir.” Grandpa Kendrid said.

“I’ll make him come back,”

“I hope you’ve given him everything he’d need for the time being? I want to make sure I provide everything he missed over the years,” Grandpa Kendrid said.

“Rest assured, I’ll take care of him as if he was my son because…” He was still talking when another call came in. He quickly checked and was surprised to see it was Liam.

“Sir, Young master calls just came in,” He said almost immediately.

“Really? Be sure to answer him immediately, he might need something,” Grandpa Kendrid said and he quickly ended the call before Mr Smith could say anything else.

“Hello young master,” Mr Smith inquired immediately he picked the call and he waited for Liam who briefly explained everything.

“What! How dare him!” Mr Smith yelled furiously.

“I’m on my way now! I’ll teach that bastard a lesson!” He added and he immediately cut the line. He took his walking stick and he stormed out of the room.

****

“Since you refused to believe me, I’ve called someone who’d bear me witness.” Liam said as he stood waiting for the attendant, his legs were already shaking from standing too long.

“I’m warning you! Whoever you're talking to can't help you. You need to leave now!" The attendant yelled.

Liam glared at the attendant as he waited for Mr Smith's arrival.

Few minutes later, Mr Smith arrived in a Rolls Royce car, all screaming luxury, his car beat all other cars in the vicinity, and people couldn’t help but stare at it.

He came out from his car and ran towards Liam.

“Young master, what is happening here?” His face filled with annoyance..

The attendant gulped down, he couldn’t believe he heard right, Liam who he had just insulted was just called young master in his presence. He was so scared as he thought of what would become of him.

“This bookstore attendant, accused me of being a fraudster, I tried explaining to him it belongs to you, but he refused to believe me, I had to call you here to bear me witness, as I have stood for long and I’m tired, “Liam explained and Mr Smith's face grew with anger, he didn’t know the kind of embarrassment Liam must have gone through.

“Why would you do that when he explained to you, you harassed and accused him of stealing? How dare you!”

“I need to see the owner of this store now! Else!” Mr Smith yelled furiously.

“I’m sorry Sir, please pardon me, I had no idea it was you he was referring to,“ The attendant knelt down immediately. He’d see Mr Smith severally on Tv and he knew he wasn’t an easy going man.

“Call me the owner of this store now!” Mr Smith yelled, he wasn’t willing to listen to any of this bullshit.

As the attendant tried to leave, a fat short man with a big stomach walked out of his office to see the chaos that was going on, but was surprised to see Mr Smith. And he wondered what he was doing in his store.

“H hello Sir,“ He sputtered with a bow, then he turned to his attendant who was still on the floor.

“What is going on here? “ He asked his worker.

“Your employee has the guts to harass and accuse Liam, the heir of LCC Enterprises, he kept him here till his leg couldn’t carry anymore and he had to call me to defend him, is that how you work here?” Mr Smith asked, but the owner of the store’s mouth was open but he couldn’t form words.

“I will make sure I shutdown this bookstore, removing everything of your name from the face of earth!” He yelled, and the man fell on his knees immediately, while the attendant cried bitterly, begging for forgiveness.

The store owner wasn’t satisfied with just that, he started hitting him angrily. “I’ve always told you to be careful with the way you operate my store” He said as he punched his face to the floor, hitting and kicking him while he pleaded and cried.

“Mr Smith, I’m so sorry please I beg of you pardon my store attendant he was being very ignorant “ The bookstore owner said to Mr smith bowing his head.

“Your attendant has harassed our young master greatly and this can’t be tolerated, I will make sure this bookstore is closed down not just this but the others across the country. I have to be honest to you, if you should apologize to anyone here, it should be to Liam and not me, ” Mr Smith said to the store owner, unable to hide his anger.

The store owner looked towards Liam with fears in his eyes, he bowed like he’s life depends on it

“Young master “ he said, “Please pardon my attendant, I’m sorry he acted out of character and harassed you blindly, our store is known for great customer service over the years, please let this slide young master,” The store owner apologized sincerely.

Liam who has been quiet all along watching everything sighed. It was time to make a decision, but the attendant wouldn’t be spared either.
