The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 45: You Know The Richest Man In The City
James and Davis got together a few days later. After a tense discussion, they swiftly hammered her the details of their partnership. Whizystems invested 600 million dollars while Davis invested 200 million dollars to form a joint venture company called "Life Long Collectible." In addition to the 600 million dollars invested by the companies, the company also attracted liquid funds from other sources. And the true purpose of the minor wave of capital inflow depended on connections and market control. Other than promoting Western art and collectibles, James also advised Davis to use Life Long Collectible to acquire foreign private museums and art galleries as well as to buy up small mid-sized auction houses to strive and forge their investment services in the auction world. The newly established CP Auction House relied on the strength of its formidable capital to swiftly sweep across the European and Americana markets. Even the local antique dealers extended olive branches one by o
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 46: Some People Are Animals
"Amanda and Elliot are here," Announced Bryan with so much pride.Bryan ushered the couple into the room and gestured towards the man who was decked in a luxury suit. "Let me introduce you to my soon-to-be son-in-law, Elliot Forcados. He graduated from Havard and is the CEO of a multinational corporation that deals with collectibles," Bryan introduced."Elliot says that they will hold two weddings; here and another one overseas, and both would have to be grand. He is not concerned about the money, as long as the weddings are as grand as possible; Lisa boasted."I'll be honest with you, Amelia. Ever since I heard that I'm going to have such an outstanding soon-to-be-in-law, I have been over the moon," Lisa added.Amelia and Joseph did not look very pleased. Just a moment ago, the two of them were still bragging about how well their daughter was doing at the Bailey Group. But now, she was outshined by the Bradford's soon-to-be son-in-law.The worst part was that having a son-in-law like
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 47: Can You Buy A Comfortable House
Amelia asked in surprise, "Why did you go there?""To buy a house," James replied."Buy a house?" Bryan couldn't help bursting into laughter. "James, is that a joke?""Absolutely not," answered James honestly. "We were there to buy a house, literally.""James, listen to me," said Bryan as he put down his chopsticks, his face full of ridicule. it's nice for young men like you to have dreams, but that's different from daydreaming. You've to base it on your practical situation."Before Bryan came home, he never knew that domestic housing prices had risen so harshly.Bryan knew clearly that Elliot, who had just returned from abroad, couldn't have afforded the house if not for his parent's support.Buying the house has been a struggle for a Harvard graduate like Bryan, more to say the loser, James."You shut up," Amelia glared at James and said. "We know your incompetence more than anyone does, so stop bragging. You're only humiliating all of us."After she finished speaking, she also gave
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 48: Name On The Property Book
"Ow, James." Amanda sneered with her arms around her chest, "You're my cousin's husband, and I respect you for that, but that doesn't mean you can rudely interrupt me.""Yeah," James nodded with a smile. "But I think I can.""Then, let me tell you." Amanda raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, "My parents have run restaurants abroad for many years. We have never seen a delivery guy that could buy a multi-million-dollar house. You're such a bad liar."At this point, Amelia also felt a bit puzzled why James looked so confident. She knew Amanda was wrong because Ava didn't have the money to buy such a big house.Ava's career had just taken off. When she was the director of the branch company, her monthly salary was less than 10 grand.In addition to the house rent, water and electricity bills, and the 3,000 dollar pension for her parents, Ava had to support James too. Those expenses aside, she could barely save any money.Therefore, there was no way she could afford such an expensiv
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 49: Be Careful
"Well, Elliot, didn't you just tell me that if I bought a house in Downvilla, you will swallow the glass?" James jutted his chin and raised the glass held in his hand. "As a top student who graduated from Havard university, you will keep your promise, right?" "Enough, James," said Ava in a low voice. "Don't go too far, will you?" Hearing that his wife stopped him, James decided to let him go. However, the more generous Ava and James were, the more shameful Elliot felt. Having been proven wrong so fast, Bryan gritted his teeth, furious. "Amelia," Lisa cleared her throat and said, "Can't believe that James is so good... At trading stocks." Fortune was fickle, having been looked down upon earlier, Amelia made up her mind to get her dignity back. "Oh, I guess you guys already know it." Amelia straightened up and jutted her chin forward. Then, she said triumphantly, "Actually, I haven't been informed in advance. Maybe James wants to give Ava a surprise." In fact, beside Lisa and her
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 50: The Impostor
"Mr. Meyer, it may have skipped your mind. I'm Elliot Forcados, Director of Life Long Collectible," he replied. You complimented me at the recent Euro-American conference."Elliot Forcados?" Henry Meyer frowned, trying to remember him in his head.The Life Long Collectible was an expansive business with countless employees. It had branches in major cities across Europe and America, not to mention the domestic market. Therefore, he could not have remembered all of his employees by name."Oh, it's you," he acknowledged, even though he could not recall who he was."You can call me Elliot, Mr. Meyer. By the way, I'm here with my fiancee's family for dinner. It'll be our pleasure to have a drink or two with you."Elliot suggested, fawning over Henry like a Dog trying to please its master. The latter got his drift immediately.Elliot was trying to flaunt his connections in front of his relatives."Are you getting married?" Henry played along and asked casually. "Congratulations!""Thank you
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 51: Caught Red-Handed
Elliot broke out in cold sweat upon hearing Henry's words. As things took a sharp turn and started heading south, Elliot was flustered and fear started bombarding his mind. "Mr. Meyer, please give me another chance, he pleaded again. His mind was blank. He had no idea how things had progressed to their current state. Nothing seemed to be making sense. Was James not a delivery man? How did he know Henry Meyer? Did the CEO of Life Long Collectible just decide to fire him because of James Miller, the loser? "Give you another chance?" Henry sneered. "You've tried every trick In the book to cheat using my company's name. Do you honestly think I will let you stay to cause further damage?" He was furious. "Mr. Meyer, here's Elliot Forcados's information," Henry's assistant handed a tablet to him. Henry glanced at the briefly and scoffed, "I'm curious how someone with a piece of paper from a degree mill could land a job as a director at my branch office. I must have a word with the pe
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 52: How Did You Know Henry Meyer
"James..." Ava tugged at his sleeve nervously. She realized that a scoundrel like Elliot would not just walk away and leave them alone.James patted her hand reassuringly before looking at Elliot and said, "The next time you try to pull the wool over someone's eye, leave the fake Vacheron-Constantin watch at home. it's so embarrassing!"There was a collective gasp in the room as all eyes turned to his watch.No one suspected that it was fake. In fact, they were impressed by it."I may as well be dead," Amanda's sob turned into a piercing cry upon hearing James' remark. She wanted to kick herself for letting Elliot Forcados take advantage of her naivety and trust.Joseph Bailey tried to ease the gloomy atmosphere in the room. "Bryan, don't he upset over this," he looked at his brother-in-law and said with concern.Meanwhile, James whispered to Ava as he held her hand, "Let's go dear."She took a deep breath and agreed. It was pointless for them to stay on in such an awkward situation.
