The Underrated Son-in-Law is Secretly A Trillionaire

Chapter 3: Young Master

"What?!"

Jason glared at the receptionist with a pretty face, who was obviously doing everything to get him out of Maxe, including framing him on impulse.

"Mr. Clark is worried sick about the money he just lost." She encouraged the security guards with her lie. "He did it. We must throw him out and rough him up so he can talk."

Jason couldn't believe his ears. Rough him up? This woman was crazy. A psycho hiding behind pretty eyes. It's sad that no one would find out about this injustice because he was unimportant.

The guards grabbed his arm. His feet didn't touch the ground any longer. She came up in his face and snarled.

"You should have listened when I asked nicely. I hate your kind."

"What will you do if I'm right?" Jason spat in her face. "What if your boss truly sent me here, and you just ordered the company's security to rough up your boss's guest."

He saw her weighing the consequences. She would lose her job and pay dearly for something like that.

"I highly doubt that, Mr. Jason. You are nothing but a thief."

"Let me call him, then. The man who summoned me. If he doesn't answer, you can do as you please."

The guards released him. Jason stepped away, moving a few distances. He called the number that called him yesterday, but the call wouldn't connect.

And he had less than a minute left, or it was over. 

Another woman who just turned up for work became interested in the scene. She stopped, smiling at the receptionist.

"Tori, what's happening here?"

"We caught a thief, Ms. Bella." The receptionist replied.

Bella eyed Jason from head to toe. His attire clearly displeased her. She scowled at him.

"Good riddance!" she said, gasping in realisation. "Oh my, whose money was stolen?"

"Mr. Clark, our VIP investor, lost a hundred million. The police wouldn't be of any help in this case."

"Agreed, Tori. Our company security will recover Mr. Clark's money faster than the police would." Bella walked up to Jason, deepening her scowl. "But you! How dare you come into Maxe and steal?!"

"You lot are insane." Jason muttered, hiding the phone behind his back.

The call still wouldn't connect.

"This is why I hate people without class. He's at the bottom of the ladder, yet he doesn't know his place!"

"Same here, Ms. Bella. They are like a walking curse. Anywhere they go, something goes missing."

"Maybe you stole it, huh?" Jason tossed back at the dangerous receptionist.

The woman turned livid. She marched forward and slapped Jason in the face.

"You had better know your place!" Tori screamed.

The guards held Jason again. He burned with anger as well, but his grace to call a saviour for himself had timed out.

Bella reached for his phone and snatched it out of his hand. She made him open it with his fingerprint and gasped when she saw the credit alert.

"Impossible."

As Bella showed her the phone, it shocked Tori because she knew she had been lying about the stolen money.

Tori said, "What…He's really a thief?"

"No! Someone gifted me that money. I didn't steal it from Mr. Clark."

"Lol. Guards! Make sure he's roughed up until his memories return!" Bella ordered, clearly higher ranked. She turned to the receptionist. "I'm having a bad day. The general manager arrived before his secretary. Update me on this matter later, Tori."

The receptionist bid her goodbye. Bella rushed for the elevator across them in this lobby, and then it occurred to Jason that she possessed the key card. 

When the elevator doors opened, Jason fought to be free and sprinted for it. Bella had already chosen a floor and used her card before she saw Jason coming.

"No!"

"Stop him!" 

Jason heard the shouts behind him, only managing to slide into the doors by a thread. 

Bella screamed. "Are you out of your mind?!" 

"No, I'm completely sane, Ms. Bella, but you lot aren't."

She couldn't use her phone, so she rushed to stop the elevator, but Jason blocked her path.

"I can't let you do that."

"You are insane!" She fought him endlessly, but he overpowered her.

The ride ended on a ding. Jason got out. Bella was still on his neck. She grabbed his arm.

"You can't go in there!"

"It can't be helped."

"I could lose my job. Please!" She grabbed his arm again, holding him back.

Jason glowered. "You weren't this pathetic on the ground floor. What changed, Ms. Bella?"

Bella knelt in his path. "Please, leave the building, Mr. Jason. If the general manager finds you here without an appointment, it's over for me.

There was no security here. It was just them and the manager's office. Bella had resorted to begging.

"Let me guess you have a family to feed with this job."

"Yes!" She rubbed her palms together. "I'm a family woman. I have kids, but someone like you would never understand that."

The skin underneath his eye twitched. "Someone like me?"

He had heard that all his life, and he was tired of hearing it.

She lowered her head. Jason only went around her, walking forward. He knocked on the general manager's door as soon as he arrived.

"Bella, is that you?" The voice from yesterday answered behind the door.

"No, it's me."

Instantly, the general manager rushed out. He only glimpsed his kneeling secretary once before he bowed.

"Welcome! Welcome to Maxe, Young Master Stormwell."
