ANGEL INLAW

who is the successor

Lord Walter tapped his seat made with pure gold. ‘’If you can contribute ten billion, how about I give you my seat?’’

‘’too bad the retard can’t even contribute a penny!’’ everyone laughed. Deborah shouted in disgust, ‘’but who let this retard through our door? Do you have an idea how embarrassing it is?’’ At this point Khloe and her parents wished they could disappear into thin air.

‘’You stupid retard, what are you doing here!’’ Kim swung her hand to slap Quincy, but he dodged it easily. Everyone was surprised. They looked at Quincy strangely. The retard could never react in time and always received beating.

‘’Quincy you’ve recovered?’’ seeing the clarity in Quincy’s eyes, Khloe covered her mouth in disbelief, alarmed to see her husband looking lively.

‘’Yes Khloe. I have recovered,’’ Quincy looked at Khloe as his eyes teared up, despite having gone through battlefields himself. Khloe broke down in tears jus immediately, Quincy pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her and her daughter through so much suffering all this years.

Vincent, Deborah’s husband stood up, adjusted his jacket and said……’’So what you’ve recovered? You are still a piece of thrash. Vincent said with scoff. He sat down, pointed at the table in the corner and said loudly, get over there and sit down, contributing ten billion? In your dream!’’

Quincy frowned, he wanted to argue but Khloe stopped him and dragged him over to the corner. The five of them sat at the folded table, others were having a feast, whereas Quincy and his family were served four cups of Ramen, except for Ashley who got extra chicken bone.

Charles majestically walked in and went directly to Lord Walter, with smiles all over his face he handed an envelope to Lord Walter.

Lord Walter looked up from the envelope, looked at the emollient atmosphere and his heart filled with grandeur. ‘’Quiet everyone I have an announcement to make.’’ Everyone had to put down their chopsticks and listened. Lord Walter nodded in satisfaction and said, ‘’ Here with me is a proposal that Charles want to present to Galumanation investment Company, in pursuit for an investment with them. I believe we’ve all heard about Galumanation making a high profile entrance to Gatto Republic. Galumanation is a world class company, a titan in the industry. Their coming will be a great chance for the power hierarchy to reshuffle and it will be an opportunity for our family. Charles here will make it happen for our family. With this particular move, I am almost very certain that Charles is more suitable for Khloe than this retard husband of hers.

Their divorce will happen tomorrow and her marriage to Charles will be announced right away after the divorce.’’

Lord Walter got excited as he explained, his face flushed as he continued, ‘’I want to leave the channel open, so I hereby declare that whoever obtain an investment from Galumanation will be entitled to ten percent of the company shares and the position of the General manager.

The shocking news left everyone in shock and awe. ‘’Ten percent of the company shares is huge. The most important is the position of the General Manager. That is the second highest position!’’

‘’I will definitely get the investment, Vincent already submitted a proposal, I have a strong feeling that it will be positive.’’

‘’Deborah, if you get the investment, you will be the next in line to inherit the family business and I will throw a grand birthday party for you, remember your birthday is in three days.’’ Grandfather said with a beaming smile.

As soon as Lord Walter said that, Khloe and her family were shocked. As part of an extended family, everyone was sensitive towards the position of the heir, especially Khloe’s father Hector Walter, who was the second son. Deborah’s father was the eldest son, and her family never treated Khloe and her family well. If Lord Walter passed and Deborah was chosen as the successor then Khloe and her family will suffer.

Looking at the pale looks on his in-laws faces, Quincy asked, ‘’Grandfather, does it mean that if Khloe gets the investment, she will also be made a candidate for succession?’’ his question silenced everyone.

Charles scoffed when he heard the question. ‘’Quincy, definitely Khloe is getting the investment but with my influence.’’

Vincent lifted his head and looked at Quincy in disdain. ‘’Retard, you might nt know since you just recovered, but Khloe and her parents are in dep debt. Despite that, Khloe just asked for financial assistance from Grandfather for your treatment, and just before that, your daughter Ashley cried for chicken legs, so tell me how on earth Khloe will be able to get an investment from such a company like Galumanation. They are selling whatever they can and borrowing money everywhere. I wonder if Khloe has to sell herself to put food on the table.’’

‘’Oh I remember, it’s Khloe’s birthday as well in three days, we share the same birthday. But class differs financially. She is poor and wears clothes from second hand market.”’ Everyone laughed.

‘’Enough, Lord Walter spoke to calm the environment, he then said, ‘’Quincy, if Khloe gets the investment I will clear her debts and give them back their bonuses from the previous years. You’ve recovered, so she won’t be needing the money for your treatment.’’

Khloe’s parents were delighted by Lord Walter’s promise. But they believed the investment would come through Charles.

However, before they could fully embrace that idea, Lord Walter added. ‘’But Khloe must also recover the land from Kubus….
