The Revenge Of The Rejected Son-in-law

Chapter 8 | Appreciation

Chapter 8

Upon hearing the words from Reuben, the Doctor suddenly felt agitated. He cowered in fear, he knew what the Xander's family could do. 

Anything coming out from them, they really mean it. Quickly, he stuttered as he tried to beg for forgiveness. 

“Please Mr Reuben, I'm sorry for the mistake. It won't happen again, my injection hasn't worked on him. It was Roman who treated the Lord.” He claimed, trying to appease Reuben. 

Everyone was glaring at him disdainfully, and wondered how he could be shameless to claim what he didn't do. 

Obviously, his apologies won't work. Reuben shot him a deadly glare and said, “If you've claimed you're not good enough to save the Lord's life, it would be better and okay." He paused, and looked into his eyes sternly, “But you tried to stop Mr Roman from saving the Lord just only to save your dignity. Do you think I will forgive you for that? No!”

“Please Mr Xander, accept my apologies! Just use this as a warning to me. It won't repeat itself." Dr. McKenzie begged fearfully. 

Reuben gave a deaf ear to his pleas, and ordered the security guards to beat him to a pulp. 

Dr McKenzie cried for help as he was dragged out by the hefty security guards. He was in trouble and couldn't escape from suffering. 

After that, everyone rushed towards Roman, and appreciated him for saving the Lord's life. 

“Thank you Mr Roman! If not for you, the Lord would have died of poison. You save the Xander's life.”

Reuben came forward and began to say, “I'm really stupid for not giving you a chance earlier. With your appearance, I thought you wouldn't be able to know anything about Lord's illness. But I was wrong, you treated, cured, and redeemed my father's life. Thank you so much, Mr Roman! I will always be grateful for what you did for the Xander's family today." he appreciated Roman's kindness. 

Roman nodded his head while he smiled deeply. He could see he was sincere about his apologies. 

“You don't have to worry about that, Mr Reuben! You don't need to thank me, it is my job to save life. I just want to tell you not to look down on people anymore. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.” Roman muttered. 

Quickly, Reuben nodded his head, “Sure! I learnt my lesson today! It won't ever happen again. Thank you once again, Mr Roman!”

Roman nodded his head gently, “Good! One more thing Mr Reuben, it was not the fault of the medicine produced by Angelique's Pharmaceutical company but it was someone who used an ancient poison in Africa to assassinate the Lord.”

Everyone exclaimed, “Poison! Assassinated! Who could that be? And what's the reason for that?" They wondered aloud as they felt shocked by Roman's revelation. 

“So it wasn't Angelique's Pharmaceutical company and we've humiliated her severely." Reuben muttered in anger. 

Quickly, he turned to Angelique, “Ms. Brown, can you forgive our family like this? We've humiliated you on this matter not knowing it was from another place, and not your company. 

Ms. Brown, Please, we are very sorry for the rude approach, and comments. We deserve to be punished but please forgive us!”

Every member of the family nodded their head in support. Some even went on their knees to tender their apologies. 

Angelique, on the other hand, was feeling elated. Roman had just cleared her name. She couldn't be more than grateful, only God knows where she would have been if not for Roman's skills. 

“Apologies accepted! I'm grateful the Master is getting better, and also there wouldn't be charges against the Pharmaceutical company, right?” Angelique said, with a smile beaming on her face. 

“Sure, there won't be charges anymore. We will definitely look for the person who tried to kill the Lord." Reuben affirmed, his tone was laced with authority. 

“From now on, we will resume the cooperation with your company, Miss Brown and also, Mr Roman will be one of our most respectful guests in the Xander Family. You are welcome at any time, and if you need any help in anything, we are here to render.” Reuben muttered, and everyone nodded their heads in support. 

Roman was overwhelmed by Reuben’s antics. He was respectful and kind. 

“You don't have to say that, Mr Reuben. I'm just doing my job!" He muttered, yet the Xanders didn't bother about it but appreciated him more. 

After the Lord himself appreciated Roman for saving his life, Angelique and Roman left the Xander's mansion. 

At the garage, Angelique couldn't help but tear out appreciatively, and said, “Mr. Cooper, you don't know what you've done for me. I would still be in the hands of the Xanders if not for your intervention. 

Thank you! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness, you just saved the company and I. If there's anything you want me to do for you, I will surely do it.” Angelique Brown cried out in appreciation. 

Roman was surprised, though it was something to be thankful for but he had never expected her to cry out in front of him. 

“You don't have to worry about anything, Angelique! I just have to do what's right and that's by saving the Pharmaceutical company and the life of the Lord.” Roman said. 

Angelique felt happy once again, and said to Roman. “Now that they proved the medicine had no problem, is it the time to convene a press conference and a business party to save the company's reputation?”

Roman nodded his head in support, “Sure, that's the right thing to do!"

Angelique chimed, “Really? Okay then, What about I invite you to join the party? I would really love to give you a surprise at the party! Please, would you love to attend?” She asked, staring keenly at Roman while she longed for his response. 

Roman noticed the brightened expression on her face, and couldn't decline her invite. 

“Sure! If that is what you want, I will be there.” Roman answered.
