Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Is This Your Useless Husband 

When the lady saw the man beside Heather, she ignored Alex and greeted him, Mr. Stanton!” 

The other dealers rushed to greet him as well

That man was Luke Stanton, the branch manager of Audi’s main branch in Nebula City

He was also in charge of the partnership with Four Seas Corporation

Has the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation arrived yet?Luke inquired

Not yet. We’ve been waiting here all this time,one of them replied

Luke nodded and turned to Heather, Let’s wait in the office then.” 

Luke had a divorce recently and was interested in courting Heather, who used to be the school belle

When he learned from Carmen that Heather wanted to divorce Alex, he was overjoyed and started to take 

action

That day. he encountered Carmen and Heather by chance and mentioned the new chairman of Four Seas Corporation

After a round of bragging, Carmen was excited and got him to introduce Heather to the new chairman

When Luke learned that the chairman would be visiting the Audi main branch at two in the afternoon that day, he invited Heather to join them

Heather did not want to come, but Carmen had egged her on

She was interested in seeing the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation as well, so she agreed

However, she had no idea that the person she wanted to see this whole time was the husband she had looked down upon

From their conversation, Alex surmised that this Mr. Stantonwould be the man in charge of negotiating with him later on. He scoffed and headed over

Why haven’t you left yet?the lady who confronted Alex frowned

Luke scrutinized Alex. He looked poor, so he did not think much of him and chided the dealers, How could you let this piece of trash in? What if this makes the chairman of Four Seas Corporation unhappy?” 

The dealers glared at Alex and felt like chasing him out immediately

Well, what are you staring for? Chase him out, now!Luke commanded

RRight!a few ladies nodded and proceeded to drag Alex out

Alex!Heather exclaimed. She finally noticed Alex’s presence and seemed distraught. What on earth is Alex doing here

Alex, don’t misunderstand. This isn’t what it looks likeHeather tried to explain

She did not want to divorce Alex for now, so she hoped that he would not misunderstand

But Alex remained silent, so Heather continued, My mom forced me to come. Luke said he knew the new chairman from Four Seas Corporation, and my mom made him introduce the chairman to meI have to meet him at least once, you know, because of that thirty million.” 

For some reason, Alex had calmed down a lot when he saw Heather nervously attempt to explain things to 

him

Even though the incident with Walt had driven a wedge between the two of them, Heather was the woman he had loved for five years after all

Thus, he could not bear to hurt her

I understand,” Alex nodded

He knew Carmen like the back of his hand

Heather, who is this man? He looks like a trash collector! How did you get to know him?Luke inquired

He had already guessed Alex’s identity from their conversation, but he wanted to embarrass Alex in front of Heather

Alex’s eyes narrowed. Before Heather could speak, he introduced himself, I’m her husband, Alex. That’s my wife you’re talking to, so please watch yourself.” 

Luke chuckled, So you’re Heather’s goodfornothing husband. I was wondering who it was.” 

He took a step forward and glared at Alex, Mrs. Jennings has told me about your situation. Soon, you’ll be chased out of the Jennings family. Heather may be your wife, but not for long.” 

He had a scornful gaze and contemptuous tone

Normally, he would not have bothered talking to a goodfornothing. However, Alex was Heather’s husband. And since he was interested in her, he treated Alex with animosity

Luke, what on earth are you saying?Heather scowled

This Luke he has tried to court me since our university days. Back then, I didn’t even care about Walt, much less Luke, who didn’t have a good family background. If mom hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t even have come at all

Trash, I won’t make life difficult for you on Heather’s account, but sometimes, you need to know your place,” Luke spat. He hoped that by taunting Alex, Alex would become violent so that he could show off in front of Heather

Yet to his dismay, all Alex did was stare at him expressionlessly

He was not affected emotionally at all

Ah, Heather! Are you here to buy a car as well?a crisp voice called out

Everyone turned around to see a lady just as beautiful as Heather walking in
