The Great Son-In-Law

-4-

And sure enough, not long after carrying out a DNA test at the most sophisticated hospital in the country, the results came out, and Lukas was declared as the heir of Mr. Malik.

“I still can’t believe that I am actually a young master from a very rich family. How is that possible? This really is like a dream. A dream that comes true.”

“Let’s go home, Lukas. I will come to the Michael family to explain everything. Saying that you are my son who has been missing, and asking them for permission to bring you back home. If necessary, I will give them some money as a gratitude, because they have taken care of you all these times. Come on, we have to finish all this quickly, Lukas.”

Mr. Malik was about to ask Lukas to leave, but Lukas shook his head perfectly.

“Not yet, Dad.”

“What do you mean, Lukas?”

Lukas got a pretty brilliant idea to make the Michael family shut up and stop insulting him. Now that Lukas was someone who could afford anything, his wealth was probably comparable to that of the Michael family, and after this the Michael family would definitely stop treating him badly.

“I want to ask you, Dad. Are our family’s wealth and Michael’s family equal?” asked Lukas.

“Of course not, sir.” Mr. Malik’s confidant answered. “It is very different, the Malik family’s wealth is already world class. In fact, in the last three years, the Malik family has become the number one richest family in the world. So, don’t compare it to the Michael family, whose business is experiencing problems now.”

Yes, the Michael’s family business was experiencing problems. Could this be an opportunity for Lukas?

“Dad, I want to stay a few days at the Michael family residence and I hope you don’t come there yet to explain who I am.”

Mr. Malik was silent, then he saw the servant clothes his son was wearing, and how dirty his son’s clothes were. One thing crossed Mr Malik’s mind.

“What did the Michael family do to you, Lukas?”

“That doesn’t matter at all, Dad. Let me finish what I have to finish there first. Believe me, I will soon go home and live with you, Dad. It’s just that, if I need your help, will you be willing to help me?”

“How could I not help my own son? Whatever you want, I will fulfill it. And if you still want to live there, I will understand. But take some of these things to hold on to, Lukas.”

Mr. Malik then asked for several items from his trusted mam and handed them over to Lukas.

“A car for you.”

“If I take the car, the Michael family will ask where I got it, Dad.”

“Okay, then this credit card and debit card is for you. This is actually mine, but later I will make it especially for you. These cards have unlimited denominations, so you can use them whenever and however much you want, and this is the phone for you. I saw your phone fall and the screen broke. There is my number and the number of my trusted person.If there is something you need, you can contact me and my trusted person there. “Be careful. If you want to leave now, I will take you to the gate of the Michael family.”

“Okay, Dad.”

Lukas walked first towards the car, then Mr. Malik looked at his trusted person.

“Julian, you quickly find out what the Michael  family has been doing to my son. For some reason, seeing Lukas’ shabby clothes and him dressed up like a servant made me suspect that Lukas had been treated in a bad way there all this time.”

“Yes sir.”

Lukas smiled again confidently, while snapping his fingers he said. “The show is about to start!”

“Hey, Brian. Do you know where Lukas is? There are already a lot of guests now, but that useless man is nowhere to be seen!” Renata asked Brian. In sexy clothes and heavy make-up, she tried to spread her gaze to find where Lukas might be.

“Never mind, stop looking for Lukas’ whereabouts. He is indeed a useless person in this world, I told him to stay outside the back gate of the house, and I will open the gate when this party is over."

“Are you crazy? He is a servant, and what about his duties here?”

“Of course you are the crazy one, now imagine if Lukas came in his servant’s clothes, and with all his activities then suddenly he called our Father as Dad, then what would happen? Lukas will embarrass our family. More than that, at Dad’s birthday party, Amanda and I’s engagement will be announced. I don’t want Lukas to be in front of me when that happens.”

“Are you afraid of Lukas because you stole his girlfriend?”

“No, I just don’t want to see Lukas’ disgusting face right now.”

“That’s Lukas.” Renata said.

That’s right, Lukas entered from the main door, still in his dirty shirt. His face looked pale from the cold.

Brian looked at him with a satisfied smile, seeing that Lukas looked like a … beggar.

Everyone looked at Lukas with disgust and condescension, while Lukas tried to ignore all the stares. He went into the room and tried to change clothes. He never forgot how Amanda kept clinging to Brian’s arm and looked at him with a look of disdain. Lukas’ hands clenched into fists, then he remembered his father’s message.

Lukas immediately dialed his father’s number.

“Dad, do you know the Lewis family?”

“Yes, I do. They are one of our family business relations, Lukas. What is it? They have a daughter.”

“Yes, can I ask you for one thing?”

“Say it, Lukas! I will grant it.”

“I only want you to do one thing, cancel all cooperation between our company and the Lewis family company. I want you to do it, and don’t ask me why. After I move home, I will tell you everything.”

“Okay, I will immediately take care of it for you, Lukas. If there is something you want me to do, never hesitate to tell me. I will do everything for you.”
