The Great Son-In-Law

-6-

 “What is this! I really can’t understand how things could turn out like this! The Lewis family is our only hope for getting out of the crisis the company is experiencing. If this marriage is cancelled, then where will we get through this crisis?” Mr. Michael seemed really worried. In fact, he couldn’t sleep at all because of this problem.

Initially, he felt confident that he would be able to get out of the crisis and get his company back on its feet without any obstacles. But now, who would be willing to provide him with a large amount of funds to help him?

“Calm down, Dad. The crisis that occurs in our family doesn’t necessarily make our family poor, right? We are still among the richest families in this country.” Brian answered so lightly.

“You are an incompetent child, Brian. You can’t even just marry Amanda.”

Brian then sneered, then he saw that Lukas was smiling mockingly at him.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Lukas? Do you think you are better than me? A servant like you will never be able to help the Michael family out of this crisis.”

“Am I not just a servant? Is there a servant to help resolve the master’s family crisis? You’re crazy, Brian.”

“You useless guy.” Brian scoffed again. “A servant like you shouldn’t be involved in this conversation, you should be outside and cleaning the yard or cleaning my shoes.”

“I can help you deal with this crisis, how much money do you need to get you out of this current crisis?”

Hearing Lukas’ question, it wasn’t just Brian. Even Mr. Michael, Renata, and Mrs. Michael laughed out loud because they felt that Lukas was delirious this morning.

“What? Will you help our family to get out of this crisis? How can you get fifty billion dollars, huh? If you want to dream then go to your room, then sleep. Don’t make me angry, Lukas!” snapped Mr Michael.

“You servant! You don’t even have any self-respect. How can you help us? Even if you work until you die, you will never be able to collect that much money.”

“Stop dreaming!”

Lukas nodded again, then he crossed his arms. Fifty billion dollars was a very large amount of money, even Lukas had never seen that much of money. However, he wanted to silence the Michael family so that they would stop calling him a servant or trash.

“How about we go back to betting?” Lukas spoke up, and none of the Michael family took Lukas’ words seriously.

They really didn’t care, and ignored Lukas’ words as they looked at Lukas with their condescending facial expressions.

“The day after tomorrow I will bring you ten billion dollars. However, please note that my name is one of the shareholders in the company. And you must stop thinking of me as a servant in this family. Do you guys agree to this bet?”

“Fine, in fact we will worship you for a whole month when we first wake up. Are you satisfied with everything we will do for you?”

“Dad, what are you doing? Why do you agree to the dreams of a fool like Lukas?” Brian protested.

“Never mind, just let him dream. After all, the day after tomorrow, he will never get that money.”

After saying that, Mr. Micahel and all his family members left, leaving Lukas alone.

Lukas immediately contacted his father again, he wanted to ask his father for help once again to silence the mouths of the Michael family.

“Dad, can you help me again?”

“What is it, Lukas? Just say what you want, I will do whatever it is.”

“The day after tomorrow, can you prepare ten billion dollars for me? I want to buy some shares from the Michael family and make them mine.”

“Okay, the day after tomorrow Julian will come to the Michael family residence and will bring ten billion dollars in cash. Just wait for his call when he gets there, Lukas.”

“Thank you very much, Dad. I love you.”

Lukas hung up the phone, then smiled with satisfaction. It didn’t matter if currently the Michael family looked down on him. What was important for Lukas was that soon he will silence the Michael family, and make the Michael family stop making him a servant, and stop looking down on him.

And the long awaited time had come, the Michael family was fully seated in the living room. They were looking at Lukas with a mocking look. Lukas, who was still sitting relaxed without carrying anything, looked very calm.

“So, we have gathered here. Dad has also prepared a document regarding the shares you want. So, where is your ten billion dollars? Or are you daydreaming and want to reap the leaves of the amount of money you promised us?” Renata started the conversation. Then she burst out laughing. “I just found out that there are servants who dream of having a lot of money, you servants are delusional.”

“Be patient, soon the money will come.” Lukas spoke.

Mr. Michael could only shake his head, he was still looking at Lukas with an annoyed look.

“Instead of you being here, it would be better for us to take you to a mental hospital. Your hallucinations are beyond help, Lukas. Is this because we have treated you so badly all this time?” asked Mr. Michael.

Lukas’ jaw tightened hearing Mr. Michael look down on him like that.

“Dad, I already said that. If I were to give you ten billion dollars, then I would bring it to you. Calm down, don’t rush.”

“You crazy guy. I thought you were just ignorant and useless. Who would have thought that you would become a crazy man now, Lukas?” Mrs. Michael also spoke.

“You guys calm down, why do you all always accuse Lukas and think he’s crazy? He’s not crazy, he’s just not in his right mind.”

“Hahaha!”

Not long after, a call came in on Lukas’ cell phone. Everyone there was quite surprised to see Lukas’ cell phone. How could they not be, the cellphone that Lukas was holding was the latest cellphone from a well-known brand whose price was not cheap. Where did Lukas get this expensive object? Even Brian and Renata were still using old cellphones from that brand because they didn’t have enough money to buy the newest version, while Lukas got the newest version which won’t even be released until next season!
