The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 68

Seeing that it was Harold calling, Loreen hesitated to answer. She did not hold a favorable opinion of Harold, recognizing that his intentions were purely to get closer to her and gain her attention.

However, lacking any interest in him, she ended the call immediately.

But Harold persisted and after several attempts, Loreen reluctantly answered the phone and asked coldly, “Harold, what do you want?”

Harold quickly replied, “Loreen, I heard you’ve been promoted to sales director!”

Loreen responded in surprise, “How did you find out?”

Harold smiled and explained, “I have a few friends working at Emgrand Group. They mentioned a new appointment had been issued by the company.”

“Yes.” Loreen confirmed. “I was indeed transferred to sales director.”

“Congratulations!” Harold exclaimed excitedly. “This position holds real power there’s so much to do! You’re quite fortunate!”

“Thank you,” Loreen replied coolly.

Harold continued, “Loreen, seeing as you’ve been in Aurous Hill for a while now and considering the unpleasant incident at Heaven Springs, I’d like to invite you to dinner as an apology. It’s a special occasion with your promotion and we should celebrate. What do you say?”

Loreen replied politely, “But I may have to work late tonight…”

Harold insisted, “Loreen, happy occasions deserve timely celebration otherwise, the joy fades away. You don’t have many friends in Aurous Hill. It would be better for us to celebrate quietly, just the two of us. What do you think?”

Loreen felt a flicker of interest.

To be honest, she wanted to celebrate but couldn’t think of anyone else to invite, especially since Claire was unavailable.

With Harold reaching out, it seemed like a viable option.

Although Harold seemed a bit insincere, she figured it was better to celebrate with someone than to be alone.

Considering this, Loreen said, “Alright, please send me the address.”

“Great! I’ve reserved a table at Aurous Hill Hotel. Just mention your name when you arrive,” Harold said.

Loreen nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll be there shortly.”

After leaving the company, Loreen took a taxi to Aurous Hill Hotel.

While it may not rival Heaven Springs, it was still one of the finest hotels in Aurous Hill.

At that moment, Harold, dressed in a suit with slicked-back hair, stood at the entrance, exuding a gentle demeanor as he awaited Loreen.

Unfortunately, the bandage on his hand completely undermined the atmosphere he was trying to create.

Dressed casually in a top and jeans that highlighted her youthful appearance, Loreen drew attention as she stepped out of the car.

Harold, proud of her looks, approached her quickly and said, “Loreen, you look stunning today! Please, come inside; everything is prepared.”

“Thank you,” Loreen replied with a polite smile.

As they sat down, the food arrived promptly.

Harold ordered a bottle of high-end red wine and proclaimed, “Loreen, today is a significant day; you should have some wine to celebrate!”

Loreen quickly responded, “No, let’s skip the wine and have some beverages instead.”

“That can’t be!”

Harold had intended to take advantage of the situation to get her drunk and hopefully seize an opportunity, but Loreen’s immediate refusal disappointed him significantly.

Loreen raised her hand and said, “I’m really not feeling well, Harold. I’d prefer not to drink let’s save it for another time.”

In truth, Loreen suspected Harold’s ulterior motives and had resolved not to drink with him tonight for her own protection.

Seeing he couldn’t change her mind, Harold felt frustrated but masked it, saying, “If you don’t want to drink, then that’s fine. We can stick to soft drinks.”

Loreen nodded, “Thank you for understanding!”

At that moment, a young man, appearing gentle and refined, sat at the table next to them, gazing intently at Loreen.

Once she had entered, he was captivated by her beauty and presence.

To him, she seemed ethereal, almost like a fairy come to life!

After observing for a bit, he noticed that Loreen and Harold didn’t appear to be a couple, so he decided to seize the opportunity.

A little while later, the young man stood up, approached Loreen and Harold’s table, and said to Loreen, “Excuse me, I was captivated by your beauty as soon as you walked in. Would you allow me to have your contact information?”

Loreen was taken aback. She hadn’t expected anyone to approach her while dining here.

Harold was fuming. Who was this idiot who dared to interrupt? Didn’t he see that he was trying to woo her? Did he have a death wish?

Before Loreen could respond, he coldly interjected, “Who are you? Why are you at our table talking nonsense?”

The young man replied casually, “What does it matter to you if I’m speaking with this lady?”

He then turned to Loreen and continued, “I’ve admired you from afar, but I was afraid to interrupt. I sincerely hope you can forgive me for speaking up.”

Harold was furious!

How dare this man try to take a woman from him?

He growled, “Let me warn you, if you know what’s good for you, leave now! If you keep talking or so much as glance in her direction again, I will make you regret it!”

The young man turned to Loreen, asking, “Is this your boyfriend?”

Loreen shook her head.

The young man faced Harold again and said, “Since you aren’t her boyfriend, then my approaching her has nothing to do with you.”

Harold sneered and replied, “I don’t like the way you’re looking at her, so you can’t look at her at all!”

The young man frowned and countered, “You seem to think highly of yourself?”

Harold chuckled derisively and declared, “Kid, I’m from the Wilson family. If you’re smart, you’ll clear out before you get into trouble!”

Loreen felt deep disdain.

For one, she found the young man’s boldness off-putting.

And secondly, she was irritated by Harold’s arrogant attitude.

Then the young man’s face shifted suddenly, eyeing Harold coldly as he said, “What is the Wilson family? Who are you really? I suggest you stop pretending to be impressive otherwise, you’ll find yourself regretting it!”

Anger boiled within Harold.

Who dared to challenge his authority like this?

Having already lost face once by inviting Loreen to dinner, he couldn’t let it happen again. If he failed to deal with this insolence, his chances with her would dwindle.

Determined, he grabbed the wine bottle from the table and shouted, “What are you babbling about? You’re asking for it!”

With that, he swung the bottle at the young man’s head!

With a loud crack, the young man went down, blood streaming from the impact!
