The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 25
Kevin stood confidently at the entrance of Axel Insurance Company.
He knew that today provided a golden opportunity to showcase his strength in front of Claire’s mother and he was determined to make the most of it.
If he could impress her mother, what was there to worry about when it came to winning Claire? Soon, he could have the stunning beauty of Aurous Hill all to himself. Just the thought filled him with excitement!
He proclaimed loudly, “Uncles and aunts, rest assured, the boss of this fraudulent company will come to refund everyone later!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, each person filled with enthusiasm.
Only Charlie watched Kevin with a smirk, thinking this guy was taking himself far too seriously. He’d be in for a rude awakening soon enough.
While Kevin basked in the admiration of the crowd, the door of Axel Insurance Company swung open suddenly.
Out stepped Axel Jordan, the company’s owner, accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed in a smart suit.
Though the middle-aged man appeared older, he exuded a commanding presence, this was none other than Don Albert!
Following Don Albert were several imposing bodyguards who moved closely behind him, each one radiating strength and power.
Don Albert’s reputation was so elevated that, while many in Aurous Hill knew his name, few ever had the chance to meet him. Consequently, no one, including Kevin, recognized him.
The crowd, however, instantly recognized Axel, the boss of the Axel Insurance.
The atmosphere shifted dramatically!
“Oh my goodness, Kevin really brought Mr. Axel here! He truly is impressive!”
“Yes, thanks to Elaine this time, we actually have hope for our money!”
“Elaine, such a remarkable young man is undoubtedly a great choice for a son-in-law!”
Elaine felt an indescribable satisfaction listening to the flattery from the older women around her.
Kevin had certainly helped her shine in front of them today.
With this thought in mind, her smile widened as she looked at Kevin with pride.
At that moment, Kevin strode forward with an air of superiority, feeling rather pleased with himself.
Unfamiliar with either Axel or Don Albert, he mistook the respect Axel showed to Don Albert as a sign that Don Albert held the position of boss.
So he addressed Don Albert haughtily, “Are you the boss of Axel Insurance Company?”
Don Albert simply smiled and replied, “I am not the boss, I only assist him. However, if you have something to say, you can tell me.”
Realizing the misunderstanding, Kevin’s expression turned dismissive. “So you’re just a lackey. Someone like you isn’t worth talking to, go get your boss!”
Charlie shook his head, looking at Kevin as if he were foolish.
The man in front of him dressed in the smart suit wielded an imposing presence, accompanied by his men, clearly not someone to be trifled with. Yet here was Kevin, arrogantly belittling him, heading straight for his own downfall.
Elaine, also watching, sneered and added, “Kevin, don’t waste your time talking to this lackey. The person next to you is the boss of Axel Insurance!”
Axel was taken aback!
How brazen were Kevin and this old woman to insult Don Albert, calling him a lackey and telling him to leave? Surely, they had no concept of their own mortality!
Who in Aurous Hill would dare to publicly disrespect Don Albert? If anyone did, they would surely find themselves in dire trouble!
Just as Kevin completed his arrogant remarks, one of Don Albert’s strong subordinates stepped forward, seized Kevin by the hair and unleashed a barrage of slaps across his face!
“How dare you insult Don Albert! Are you tired of living?”
Before he could draw breath, another swift motion brought the same punishment to Elaine, as he spat, “You dare to insult Don Albert, you wretched woman? I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t forget!”
Boom!
The impact of those words felt like a thunderbolt to Kevin and Elaine!
What? This man in the smart suit was actually the notorious Don Albert? And they had just openly insulted him without knowing their fate…
In an instant, both their faces drained of color and cold sweat broke out across their foreheads as terror gripped them.
Kevin was the first to react, he fell to his knees before Don Albert, bowing repeatedly and pleading, “Don Albert, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I was blind and didn’t recognize you, nor intended to insult you! The issues these people have collecting debts have nothing to do with me, please spare my life!”
He continued to kneel, slapping his own face in a frantic apology, his entire being breaking down in tears. He had never fathomed that the man supporting the owner of this fraudulent company would be the illustrious Don Albert!
Such a powerful figure, who could not only ruin him but also had the influence to harm his entire family!
Regret surged through him, all he wanted was to impress Claire’s mother and build a rapport with Claire.
Yet, before he could achieve his goal, he had offended Don Albert! If his father discovered this, he would be furious!
The sight around him left a mark of shock on the onlookers.
They had anticipated Kevin to help recover their funds, but never imagined he would suddenly kneel and apologize profusely to this man in a smart suit…
And Elaine, who had been so proud moments before, was now left a battered mess.
Don Albert scoffed and directed his gaze to the crowd. “Since this guy is so disrespectful, you all can take turns slapping him ten thousand times. Only when you finish will it be over.”
Overwhelmed with fear, Kevin’s heart raced. After ten thousand slaps, wouldn’t he be finished for good?
Meanwhile, one of Don Albert’s men pointed at Elaine, whose hair was disheveled from the beating and asked, “Don Albert, what should we do with this old woman?”
Don Albert regarded Elaine with disdain and coolly replied, “She should also receive ten thousand slaps!”
Elaine’s face blanched and she dropped to the ground, trembling uncontrollably. How could she possibly survive offending Don Albert?
As several men moved to grab Kevin and Elaine, preparing to execute their punishment, Charlie stood amidst the onlookers, observing the scene with detached indifference.
Though he felt no strong urge to intervene as his mother-in-law was often times unbearable, he realized that if they truly slapped her ten thousand times, she could be severely harmed, if not killed.
How could he explain that to his wife later? If her life was genuinely in peril, she would undoubtedly be devastated!
He felt compelled to step in.
Just as one of Don Albert’s men raised his arm, ready to strike Elaine, Charlie quickly sprang forward and seized his wrist!
