The Useless Son In Law

CHAPTER 9: Ava's Cousin

Leo Meyer was the richest man in Sunshine.

How could he and James know each other?

How was that possible?

Bella was Ava's Cousin and Allen's sister. Both Allen and Bella have similar personalities.

They both like to flatter the rich and despised the poor.

In addition, they both thought that James was a loser.

In comparison with Allen, Bella was harsher when she insulted and mocked James.

Every time she met James she would use the words such as "a loathsome freak, useless trash, good for nothing, loser, and something along the line to insult him."

However, her useless cousin-in-law was currently talking to the richest man in Honor Grave.

"Bella, who is he?" The man driving the car asked her curiously.

"Drive the car over." Bella was curious as to what was happening. She decided to figure it out.

"James, what are you doing?" Bella got out of the car and pretended to be shocked as she covered her mouth before saying, "Mr. Johnson, are you, Mr. Johnson?

The Bailey family was at most a second-tier rich family in sunshine. They had never made contact with an upper-class billionaire family like the Miller family.

They usually had no chance to work with Miller organization, let alone have a personal relationship.

"James, do you know Mr. Johnson?"

"I... Um..." James was about to explain but was soon interrupted by Bella.

"I knew it was impossible! How could someone like you, who doesn't even have a job, be in contact with the richest man in Sunshine? At this point, Bella leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "I'm afraid you are not even qualified to kiss his ass."

"You do deserve to be called 'loser'."

James smiled bitterly. He had wanted to come up with a random excuse, but now it seemed that there was no need.

"You're right. I don't know this Mister richest man." James cursed, 'the old bastard' in his heart at this moment. "Just now..."

When Leo caught a glimpse of the motorcycle that James rode to make deliveries, an idea occurred to him. "Young Man, thank you for your takeaway. It's quite tasty."

"Is it?" James chuckled. He raised his eyebrows and urged meaningfully, "your welcome. Please give me a five-star rating.

"Old bastard! Just leave!" He shouted inwardly.

"If my identity is exposed, you will have to bear the consequences!"

Leo did not bear to stay any longer. He glanced meaningfully at Bella before getting into the car and leaving.

"Bella, is he your legendary loser cousin-in-law who lives off his wife?" The man in the car chewed on a piece of gum with a mischievous smile.

"Pfft, what? My cousin-in-law? I've never acknowledged him." Bella stood at the car door and raised her eyebrows. "This kind of person will only embarrass the Bailey family."

"Bella, stop talking like this!" James' eyes darkened as he clenched his fists.

"What? I like talking this way!" Bella crossed her arms with an indifferent and disdainful look, saying, "what can you do to me? Teach me a lesson?"

"Tsk, tsk, James think about it. Ava was almost sent to jail. At the critical moment, you as her husband, couldn't help her at all. In the end, it was Oliver who fixed it."

Aren't you embarrassed? How dare you shout at me like that?"

What? Oliver?" James' heart burned with rage when he heard this. "I was the one who had settled the matter, alright?" He thought angrily to himself.

"That's right." Bella cursed as she got into the car. She mumbled, "I just don't understand what Ava is thinking. Why did she choose such a useless guy instead of Oliver, that rich and handsome man?"

Hey, delivery guy." After the car started, the man on the driver's seat sneered and said, "Watch out when you do your delivery. Don't fall to your death."

"Let's go! Don't waste your breath on such a person!" Bella urged him with displeasure.

In an instant, the red sports car drove away and disappeared.

James took a while to calm himself down. It was not worth it to be angry at such an unreasonable woman.

However, he was angry at the thought of Oliver taking his credit for helping settle Ava's problem. After all these things happened, it seemed more appropriate for James to continue keeping his identity a secret. He wanted to see what other tricks these clowns could play.

Ava stayed in the hospital for three days. After the doctor confirmed that she was fine, she was discharged.

Since the matter with Cartier had been solved, Ava decided to seize an opportunity to perform well so that she could have a place in the Bailey Group.

In addition, Ava's mother's birthday was coming soon.

"My mother is a prideful person," Ava said as she looked at James, who was clearing the dishes. "She has suffered a lot in front of her family and friends. Besides, it is her birthday. It's a big day for her. So, I plan to hold a banquet for her this time and celebrate it."

"No problem." James nodded and said, "I'll take care of her birthday gifts. I'm sure your mother will be satisfied."

"You will prepare the gift?" Ava laughed. I think you should forget about it. I'll prepare it for her.

"Ava, you have to trust me..." At this very moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Looking at the name on the screen, Ava picked up her phone and quietly entered the bedroom.

"Oliver, thanks a lot! I appreciate your help this time." Ava patted her hair and smiled happily as she said, "I'm afraid I would have gone to jail without your help, let alone sign a contract with Cartier."

"It's nothing, Ava," Oliver replied proudly."

"Here's the thing." Out of gratitude, Ava decided to invite him to the banquet. "It will be my mother's birthday in two days. She wants to invite you to the banquet and thank you for what you did."

"Sure, I'll be there. I happen to be free at that time." Oliver was happy. He felt that he and Ava were getting closer.

After hanging up, Ava couldn't help but compare James to Oliver again. From this point of view, she thought that her husband was quite useless.

That night, she shut the door to the bedroom and left James outside.

The next day, Ava went to work in the morning without even eating breakfast at home.

James did not even take his wife's tantrum to heart at all. There was a contract he needed to sign. Therefore, he and Leo had made an appointment at the vanilla bistro.

"Mr. Miller, this is a set of ruby jewelry that I have prepared for you." Leo placed a heart-shaped velvet box in front of him. "It is a limited edition set from the jewelry company under Miller's organization. There are only two sets in the entire world.

"The other set was bought by the Queen of Fairlake. And this is the only one left." Looking at the jewelry set, James nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Leo you have good taste. My mother-in-law is vain and likes to show off. And it is her special day this time."
