The manager maintained the courteous smile on his face. “Well, our doors are open to anyone, as long as they can afford our meals of course,” the manager replied politely. “That is good, this particular riffraff cannot even afford a bottle of water here. I want you to throw him out!” Marcus yelled
Marcus smiled at them. “This is nothing. Even if it was the CEO of this restaurant, they would honour me the same. You are getting a juggernaut as a son in law, life will truly never be the same for you,” Marcus boasted haughtily. Sophia gasped for joy. With Marcus as their son in law, she coul
