THE RICHEST MAN SON-IN-LAW

DEFEAT AND VICTORY

"How's it going, Michael? Did you get money from my mother? The landlord came back earlier and asked for the rent," Adelle asked as Michael just entered the house.

"No, I didn't go to your family's house, Adelle. Someone offered me a job earlier and gave me money. I think it's enough to pay for this rented house," Michael handed Adelle a considerable amount of money.

But when Adelle received the money from her husband, she was quite surprised because the amount exceeded what she needed.

"What kind of job did you do? Why did you get so much money?"

"I just helped someone load their things into their car. The owner happened to be a tourist, so I got a lot of money. Just keep the money for food, after paying for the rent, Adelle."

Actually, Michael got the money from Gracia, but he didn't want to tell Adelle and still wanted to keep everything secret from his wife.

"Okay, I'll buy some delicious food with this money."

Adelle looked very happy, thinking about the food she could buy with the money Michael gave her.

And that made Michael feel happy too.

"Buy the food you want, Adelle. I'll try my best to make you always smile like this."

Adelle immediately hugged Michael, then kissed his cheek.

"You may not be rich, but you're very kind. I love you so much, Michael."

"I love you too, Adelle."

A few days later...

"Michael!"

Adelle walked towards Michael who was sweeping the front area of the house.

"What's up, Adelle?"

"I got news from the assistant who works at my mother's house. They said there's a big commotion happening there. And we need to go there, Michael."

There was a big commotion at Aldebaran's house, and Adelle was very surprised to hear the news.

Michael was quite surprised too when he heard Adelle's words. Then, he nodded his head and held Adelle's hand.

"Alright, let's go there now."

Michael and Adelle decided to go to Aldebaran and Kania's house to find out what was really happening there.

"Why? Why did you lie, Alexander? Why did you make such a big mistake?"

Inside the house, Aldebaran was seen talking loudly to Alexander. Anger was clearly visible on his face.

"I-I don't know, Dad."

There, Alexander looked down his head. And it seemed like he couldn't fight against Aldebaran's words.

Adelle and Michael had been there since earlier, but they chose to stay silent and understand the chaotic situation.

"Alexander, the owner of the illegal oil company is known to be currently staying at his in-law's house. Maybe, Alexander is seeking Mr. Aldebaran's help to save his company that has been blacklisted by the government due to his illegal business and data forgery."

A news on the television in the room managed to catch everyone's attention.

Especially for Michael.

"Grandmother is carrying out her plan now."

Michael muttered that sentence in his heart. He shouldn't have felt surprised because the bankruptcy news of Alexander was his and Gracia's plan.

"The police will come here and take you to court for questioning, Alexander. My advice is to tell the truth so that your sentence can be reduced."

Michael opened his mouth and said that sentence to Alexander.

"I don't need your advice, Michael! You're just a stupid and poor person, you won't know what's happening to me now."

However, Alexander felt offended when he heard Michael's advice. Instead, he felt that Michael's words were meant to belittle him.

"I'm just giving advice. It's up to you whether you want to follow my words or not," Michael replied.

Alexander walked towards Michael, intending to hit him.

"Stop, Alexander! This is not the time for you to fight with that poor man. Now, it's better to think about your problem."

Aldebaran immediately separated Alexander from Michael.

"Yes, you have to deal with the government and the authorities. Or you will end up in jail, Alexander."

Kania also agreed with Aldebaran's statement and supported Alexander to think about his position, which is in big trouble now.

Meanwhile, Michael was smiling.

"Adelle, we better go home now."

Suddenly Michael invited Adelle to leave his in-law's house.

"I want to stay here, Michael, accompanying Alexa. Alexander's company is in trouble and he must be feeling sad now."

However, Adelle declined Michael's invitation and wanted to stay with her family.

Michael didn't object, he nodded his head.

"Alright, stay here. I have something to do and have to go now. Wait for me at our home, Adelle."

Adelle sighed briefly, then nodded her head.

"Take care, Michael."

Actually, Michael had received a text message from his grandmother, Gracia. He had to go to Gracia's house right away.

And when he was outside Aldebaran's house, Michael was immediately picked up by a luxurious car.

"Mr. Rafael, Mrs. Gracia is waiting for you at home for a media interview now."

Aden, Gracia's assistant, greeted Michael and opened the car door for him.

Michael nodded his head and immediately got into the car.

"Are you ready, Sir?"

"Yes, Aden. I'm ready to reveal all of my identity today."

It seemed that Michael was truly ready to reveal his identity to the public and surprise Adelle's family with the truth.

In front of Gracia's house, many journalists were already waiting there.

However, at that time, Michael was immediately taken inside the house to meet Gracia first.

"Are you ready for everything, Rafael?"

Gracia greeted Michael with a warm hug.

Michael smiled, then nodded his head.

"Yes, Grandma. I'm ready for everything now."
