The Great Son-In-Law

-2-

Lukas seemed reluctant to do so, until suddemly Brian grabbed Lukas’ hand and gave Lukas a rag. Like it or not, Lukas cleaned up the spilled drink.

“You know, Amanda and I will definitely get married.” Brian said.

Lukas, who had been busy cleaning up, fell silent, then he looked at Brian, who was looking at him confidently.

“Look at who you are, Lukas. Isn’t it enough for you to kneel at my feet like this to explain how far apart you are from me? Let alone from Amanda. You are just a servant, while I am your master. And Amanda is the daughter of the most influential businessman in this country. Try to look in the mirror and then step back, because what you want to achieve will never be achieved. Look at you. You are just an unemployed man who has no future, don’t embarrass Amanda by having a useless boyfriend like you.”

“Amanda loves me, I think that’s better than all your chatter.” Lukas answered confidently.

“Oh, really?” Brian smiled again with a grin, then he looked at Lukas again. “How about we prove it the day after tomorrow, is it true that Amanda, your beautiful girlfriend, really loves you or … not.”

“Look, I told you many times, Lukas. You are indeed most suited to wearing maid clothes. Look how stupid you look wearing those clothes! Tsk! I just found out that there are people who are more suited to wearing maid clothes than expensive suits!” Renata taunted.

Lukas’ jaw tightened, if Renata were a man, he would definitely be happy to punch her. But, Renata was a woman. So, how would Lukas hit a woman?

“You shameless unemployed man, I wonder why my parents adopted you. You really are a useless human, Lukas!”

Renata immediately left because she was annoyed with Lukas. Meanwhile Brian, who saw Lukas preparing dishes for his father’s guests, smiled. He told one of the people to deliberately spill a drink on Lukas’ white shirt.

“Sorry I did not mean it.” The man sent by Brian left, and Lukas started to feel unlucky because the clothes he had just worn were dirty, wet, and red.

“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Look at Amanda’s handsome and most beloved man. Do you think a servant like you would be worthy of being compared to a princess? Don’t dream, Lukas.”

“Brian, can you stop talking?”

“Oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you. Can we go to the back for a moment?”

Brian immediately grabbed the back collar of Lukas’ shirt, then took Lukas right behind the house. He even took Lukas outside the fence of the Michael family house. And there were two other men there who Lukas knew were Brian’s friends. Both of them laughed and looked at Lukas with insulting expressions on their faces.

“Come on, Brian. What do you want us to do to teach your useless adopted brother a lesson?” asked one of Brian’s friends.

“I just want to wake him up from his dream. Because all this time, he was sleeping and dreaming all day long.”

Two of Brian’s friends immediately grabbed Lukas’ hands, kicked the back of Lukas’ knees until Lukas immediately knelt in front of Brian. Feeling proud, Brian spit perfectly in Lukas’ face. Lukas continued to struggle and tried to get up, but the strength of the two people was too much for him.

“Let me go! What are you doing? Let me go!” Lukas shouted.

“Let you go? How could I let you go when I have so much to say to you, Lukas? You’re such a stupid man, it’s no wonder Renata is always annoyed with you.”

“What do you really want, Brian? If you really want to talk to me then talk, but don’t do this!”

“Stop approaching Amanda.” Brian immediately spoke.

Lukas looked at Brian with an annoyed look. He never thought that Brian’s request would be unreasonable.

“I love Amanda, and Amanda loves me. How can you tell me to leave Amanda? Don’t be crazy!”

“Amanda loves you? Do you think you are worthy enough for Amanda, Lukas? Not at all! You are just an adopted child of the Michael family, you are just a servant of the Michael family, you have no education, and you don’t have a job. You are the most useless man in this world. While Amanda is a career woman, Amanda graduated from a famous university and she has always been an idol. You have to realize that you can’t possibly be with Amanda, and I … remember what Dad said, I’m the son that Dad will match with Amanda. Not you!”

“Tsk! I don’t care, isn’t that just Dad’s plan? Because I’m sure the one Amanda would choose won’t be you, but me!”

“You’re so confident!” Brian immediately kicked Lukas in the chest and put his foot right on Lukas’ chest, so the soles of Brian’s dirty shoes touched Lukas’ shirt, which was already wet the spilled drink. “Now let’s prove it, Lukas.”

Not long after, Brian called someone and after that a woman in a black dress came.

Lukas smiled brightly when he saw the beautiful figure with beautifully flowing blonde hair. He was about to stand up and greet the beautiful woman but two of Brian’s friends still locked him in a kneeling position.

“Amanda.”

Lukas muttered excitedly, hoping that Amanda would get angry with Brian and then ask him to leave. Just like what Amanda usually did when someone put him down. However, it turned out that what Lukas imagined this time was wrong, Amanda didn’t come to him and defend him. Amanda just walked past him, then hugged Brian and kissed Brian. One incident that shocked Lukas beyond belief.

“A … Amanda?”

Brian who saw Lukas’ stupid face pushed Lukas’ chest perfectly, and that succeeded in making Lukas collapsed. Brian burst out laughing while Amanda looked away from Lukas.

“Why, Lukas? Do you feel shocked now? Don’t be too surprised like that. Because this has been going on for so long, you’re just too stupid to realize it.”
