Tale of the Triggered Man

Chapter 10 - You dare approach my woman!

"Huff...huff..."

Roger woke up, his back was wet with sweat and his face looked like he just woke up from a nightmare. He was sweating profusely and seemed terrified at something!

"Roger! Are you ok, what happened"

Only now did he manage to look at the beauty beside him who was looking at him with a worried expression on her face.

"Is it the same dream again? why won't you tell me anything about it?"

She asked him in a pleading tone, it seemed like she was worried about him.

It was just after she came out of the shower that Roger was mumbling something in his dreams, his face looked pale and he was sweating profusely. She was so scared that for a movement she almost screamed out loud.

And it wasn't the first time this happened, she didn't exactly know why or what he was going through in his dreams but he often seem to have nightmares about something.

No matter how much she asked him about those, he wouldn't say anything, which made her more worried.

"I am fine"

And just like always, Roger soon calmed down not long after and came out of the bed as if nothing happened, and made his way towards the bathroom.

Hestia looked at his back with a restless expression on her face, though she acted indifferent outside, she was the one who was most worried about him.

----

It was just a movement after he came out of the bath that he heard the loud shouts of his Mother-in-law.

She was throwing a fist at his wife. Roger covered his ears as he found her screaming first thing in the morning quite annoying.

But covering his ears doesn't mean, his lovely Mother-in-law is going to stop her blabbering.

"Hestia, are you crazy? How dare you take the impossible task that Grandpa gave, do you think you could pull that off?"

It seemed like his mother-in-law, Sera Taylor was really angered this time.

well, this time it was understandable at least since Hestia accepted the mission that even Lord Taylor himself thought impossible!

Hestia wanted nothing but to punch a certain someone who made her stand in this kind of position but held her rage inside knowing full well that nothing can be done over spilled milk.

Roger's Father-in-law, Jacob Taylor also seemed very disappointed in her as he chimed, "Hestia, do you have any idea how much we would be humiliated in front of the family if you fail to make deal with the Emerald? We wouldn't even be able to walk with our held high, and that's not even the worst thing. I can't even imagine that Henry and Erza laughing at us"

Roger managed a bitter smile as he heard the bickering, he would bet that his snobbish in-laws would never believe that he was the owner of the Emerald even if he said it to them!

And at the same time, they heard a knock on the door!

"I am coming...."

Sera heaved a sigh of distress as she walked to the door and opened it.

Curious about who that may be Roger peeked at the door from their bedroom, there he saw a young man donned in a suit standing at the door, the man could be considered slightly handsome wearing an expensive suit and a luxurious watch!

Hestia's mother shrieked excitedly seeing him, "Hey, Samson! Why are you here?”.

The man was Samson Jones, the Heir of the Jones family that had been pursuing Hestia relentlessly.

Samson wore a smile and claimed, “Auntie, I became aware of Hestia’s settlement with making a contract with the Emerald Team, so I’m right here to provide her some tips and ideas”.

” Wow, you truly are our family’s life saver!”.

Hestia's mother was really thrilled as well as delighted, as she looked at him like she was looking adoringly at her son-in-law which should have been directed to Roger.

She promptly invited him right into your house as well as claimed, “Samson, could you assist Hestia to win Emerald Group’s agreement?”.

Samson nodded with a respectful smile. He ignored Roger who just come out of the room, treating him like a lowly ant. He strolled right towards Hestia as well as claimed carefully, “Hestia, why didn’t you tell me anything regarding this? This is substantial. Anyhow, do not fret, my family members have some connections with the Emerald Group. I’ll talk with my daddy, and arrange for you to see the chairman of Emerald".

Truthfully, Samson’s dad had not been as significant as he claimed to be, however, he was just attempting to win Hestia’s heart by saying so.

Hestia too knew that Samson had emotions for her the whole time, so she said indifferently, "Samson, I Appreciate your kindness, but no thanks, I’ll discover a way myself.”.

Hestia's mother-in-law gaped in confusion and scolded her, “Hestia, are you crazy? Mr. Jones is kind and generous enough to pay you a visit and help you, how could you say such things to him?”.

Hestia remained quiet, but Roger asked Samson, intrigued, “Mr. Jones, I wonder, just how can you help Hestia? Emerald Group is so huge and also I do not believe you’re much of an influence to them, right? And currently, you declare that you have a method to aid Hestia to win the agreement?”.

Samson sneered contemptuously and claimed,” What do you know? The Jones family and Emerald Team have actually been cooperating partners for many years. This time, our family can access at least one-third of their billion-dollar project! and after that, I’ll ask my father to allot ten million dollars as a subcontract to Hestia. Objective accomplished, isn’t it?”.

Roger gaped in surprise, “Wow! I really did not know that the Jones family has such an intimate partnership with Emerald Group!”.

Wendell sneered. “Naturally! Everybody in Aurouss Hill understands about that!”.

He then blazed at Roger Taylor disdainfully and uttered,” Roger, let me give you a piece of advice. A frog in the well like you had better leave Hestia Taylor now. A helpless man like you can’t bring her happiness, you’ll only be her worry.”.

Hestia glared at Samson and said coldly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones, I don’t need your help, and watch your mouth!”.

Stunned, Samson stated in shock, “Hestia, I’m helping you, why are you still taking this loser’s side? Why are you so protective of him?”.

That's it, that was the limit of her patience as Hestia said in a serious tone, "He’s not a loser, he’s my Husband! and you better stop with your words, don't blame for what may happen if you continue”.

A dismal cloud floated over Simson's face as He roared furiously, “Okay! You asked for it, do as you please! I wish to see exactly how you’re going to resolve this trouble! Don’t come weeping at me for not providing you an opportunity later on when you fail!”.

Saying so Samson turned around and left the house.

Sera Taylor chased behind him but he was long gone, coming back in, she roared at Roger " You useless piece of sh*t! How can you chase away Mr. Jones when he was here to help Hestia?"

Roger was at a loss of words at her claim, how was he blamed for Samson leaving the house?

Hestia intervened as she climbed “Mother, he’s all talk. He can not even win a contract with Emgrand, just how can he assist me?”.

” Bullsh * t!” Sera Taylor reprimanded, "What do you know, you oblivious fool! The Jones household can get one-third of the billion dollar agreement!”.

Charlie was speechless at his mother-in-law's ranting, but he grinned on the inside, 'Samson Jones, he dares approach my woman and Jone's family want one-third of the agreement? well, let me give show them what they get for messing with me...'
