Ascendance Of The Underestimated Son-in-Law

Chapter 2

"Whoa...its was badly damaged but I managed to retrieve the video.."

Daniel said while walking in with the disk in his hands, he paused as he gawked at the lady putting on a luxurious red outfit, he recognized this dress as Gucci lastest release and its said to be over $12 million, Daniel swallowed.

"Thank you...I will be off then."

Alex said as he walked out of the shop, the lady followed behind after she eyed Daniel seductively.

Alex walked into the Wyatt family to meet quite a sight, Cathy was sprawled on the floor while bawling her eyes out like a kid.

"Stop crying dear, its not the end of the world"

"I just can't stop mum...do you know what this deal meant for me...for my career."

"Its just a deal...isn't it.."

Camila said absentmindedly as she scrolled through her phone, she hated the fact that her little sister have to cry on every little thing.

"Shut up, its not just a deal...but this deal could uplift the Wyatt family...we could advance into a first class family...do you think its easy to get a deal out of the Millers corporation, they are the largest and most prosperous family in this city and yet you.."

Her mother screamed at her, Alex watched all this scene by the side silently, he just wanted to mind his business but Cathy caught sight of his figure and flared up.

"Its all because of you.. If you haven't blocked my way this morning...I would have secured the deal...its all on you, you worthless piece of trash.."

Alex frowned, how was this connected to him, but he wasn't shocked, the past year with the Wyatt had always been like this, he always ended up as the scapegoat for everything he's unrelated to and ends up getting scolded severely by his mother-in-law, he was always insulted even by the servants of the house, who saw his status below theirs, but he wouldn't endure this humiliation anymore, the one year period he had agreed with the patriarch of the family is over and he can glady divorce Camila and cut off all ties with this family.

One year ago, he was saved by the old Patriarch of the family from a deadly accident which cost him his memories, the old man had forced him to marry his grand daughter as a reward for saving his life, he had refused but the old man was desperate so he agreed to be only married for a year, he had even signed an alliance not to divorce no matter what until a year has ended, he had endured everything because of his benefactor who saved him but now, he had no reason to be treated like a trash, even though he lost his memories, he still had his pride, but he was forced to endure all the insults and humailations.

"I have nothing to do with the lost of your deal."

Alex uttered each word fiercely and dangerously, the whole family turned to him and even his wife stared shocked at him, he dares to talk back, just who does he think he is.

"Ha..I see you grew some wings, are you afraid I will push you out into the streets to starve to death."

His wife said sinisterly.

"Do as you wish."

Alex said and headed upstairs, he came back a few minutes later with an iPad.

"What are you doing.."

Cathy asked, but Alex ignored her, he inserted the disk cord into the IPad and played a video, in the video, Vivian could be seen wandering round the sitting room, searching for something, she bent to check under the chair but the vase by the table shifted, fell and broke, she gasped and upon seeing the broken heirloom, an idea popped in her head, she walked outside and rang the doorbell, Alex happened to be coming downstairs and saw the vase, he walked to it curiously, that's when Vivain walked to him and accused him of breaking the vase.

Immediately the video finished playing, everyone gasped, Vivain fidgeted with the hem of her dress.

"So what are you trying to prove...even if you didn't break the vase, you are still a useless person..quickly divorce my daughter and let her marry a rich man that can uplift the family.... a pauper like you have to place here..."

Vivian spated out viciously, and the whole family turned to Alex again, berating him, Alex scoffed, he had proofed he didn't break the vase and therefore have no connection with this family, he quickly walked upstairs and took the Small iron chest he usually carried with him and went back downstairs.

"Prepare the divorce papers..I will come back next week to sign it."

Alex said and walked out of the house.

"As if you would survive a day without us.."

"Where do you think you are going, you waste, go and wash the dishes...no dishes done, no meal for you.."

Vivian screamed behind him but Alex ignored them and walked away, who says he wouldn't survive a day without them, just you wait and see.

Alex took a cab to Kingstone bank, this was the bank of the wealthy and everyone walking in and out of this bank dressed affluently, comparing their clothes to his, he seems like a poor begger on the streets.

Alex didn't mind and walked into the bank.

"Hey..stop there, where do you think you are going.."

A burly security man walked up to him while looking him up and down, he look displeased with his appearance.

"We don't entertain beggars."

A worker coming into the bank said while holding his nose, he looked at Alex with disgust, as if he were merely a pig, Alex frowned, he had only come to check the balance on the card and confirm if what that lady on red said is true, but didnt expect this sort of treatment.

"Who are you"

Alex asked darkly, causing the worker to shiver in fright, but he didn't show it, instead he coughed lightly and pointed fingers at him.

"Even if you kowtow and lick my shoes several times, you still wouldn't deserve to know a dime about me...hmph."

The worker puffed out his chest with pride, and Alex caught sight of the word..Mini Manager inscribed on his Identity card.

"Get out of my way now, I want to check my balance....is this how you treat customers?"

The worker scoffed.

"You filthy thing..you think every one can be called customers of KINGSTONE BANK..are you stupid or pretending to be."

The security glanced towards their director and scoffed, such weird guy, did he come in here to beg, why not go into the streets.

"I suggest you get out of my way right now or else..."

"Or else what...you think you are a thing just because you are married into the Wyatt family..you asshole."

Alex frowned, how did he know he married into the Wyatt family...though its a common knowledge in the internet that the most beautiful lady in the country married a pauper but no one had seen his face except for the Wyatt family and people close to them, Alex looked at the Worker one more time and it dawned on him.

He is Frederick, a distant cousin of the Wyatt family who had visited them for the seasons holiday, No wonder he began criticizing him Immediately he saw him.

"Security...throw him out, what are you waiting for...do you want him to dirty the floor of this building?"

Fredrick ordered the security and walked into the magnificent skyscraper. The securities walked to Alex and dragged him by the collar, Alex immediately punched the burly man on his left and he fell flat on the ground, he stood up again with a bleeding nose, ready to attack him again when a stern voice interrupted them.

"What's going on here?"

A man in his mid thirties, putting on expensive suit with curled black hair walked up to them, he stared at Alex for a brief second before turning to the securities.

"Sir, this man came into the bank to disrupt the daily activities, so we told him to leave politely but he refused."

A tall security man said cautiously, the man turned to Alex.

"Sir, what could possibly be the problem?"

"Everything, from the moment I walked into this bank to this point, everything is a problem..."

"What happened sir?"

The man asked politely, he's dressed smartly and must hold a high position here yet he was still so polite.

"I came here to check my balance and was almost kicked out by the securities and a worker..is this how you operate?"

Alex asked angrily, at this point he don't care who was who, he just wanted to confirm whether what the lady had told him is true or false, he had no squirms with this bank. He brought out the gold card from his pockets and shoved it into the hands of the man.

"What...what on earth!"

The man mouth opened wide in awe and shock, he stared again at Alex and then at the card, he was speechless.

"What's the problem....won't you be able to check the balance?"

Alex asked confused but the man quickly shook his head.

"No..no..sir, this card is the highest card in the industry and banking sector...there are only three of these in the country...My name is Kendrick, am the Managing Director of this branch, I will call the Director now..."

Kendrick bowed respectfully at Alex as he pulled out his phone.
