The Great Son-In-Law

-7-

“Where did you steal from, Lukas? Why do you have such an expensive phone?” asked Brian at last.

Lukas looked at his cellphone, then he put it in his trouser pocket. He looked at Brian with a flat gaze.

“This phone is mine.” Lukas answered casually. “You guys wait, the money is already in front of the doorway.”

Lukas came out, and not long after he brought several suitcases, he even took the suitcases from outside several times. He put all the suitcases inside. Lukas put one suitcase on the table, and how surprised the Michael family was to find out that what was inside all the suitcases was … money.

All of the Michael family couldn’t believe it, in fact they could only put on very stupid looks. Lukas saw this and smiled with satisfaction. This was the first time he was finally able to completely shut the Michael family’s mouths.

“Now do you believe me?”

Mr. Michael and the others gasped, then they rubbed their faces roughly.

Brian then took several bills, just to check whether the money Lukas was carrying was real or fake.

“This isn’t possible right? How is that possible, and where did you get this much money, Lukas?” asked Brian, who was still reluctant to believe what he saw and held.

“As for where I got it from, isn’t really important, is it? The most important thing is that I have kept my bet by bringing ten billion dollars to you, and I hope that starting today you will keep your promise to stop making me a servant in this house, and make me one of the shareholders. Oh yes, one more thing, aren’t you the one who promised to worship my feet? I don’t think that's bad either, I would be very happy if every morning for a month you would worship me.”

Brian started to get emotional, but he was restrained by Mr. Michael. Now Mr. Michael had no more reason to insult Lukas. Nobody knew where the money came from and how Lukas got it. What was clear was, Mr Michael needed this money to be able to stop the company’s crisis.

“I don’t want to do that at all. Don’t dream in broad daylight, Lukas!”

“Brian, stop arguing! We promised to make this bet and we lost. So stop cheating. Just respect all decisions and do what we should do!” shrieked Mr. Michael.

Brian, who felt annoyed, chose to leave while looking at Lukas sarcastically. Renata also followed Brian’s departure, and Mrs. Michael was the same. Only Mr. Michael was still sitting there, focused on counting all the money so that he wasn’t missing a single dollar. Even if it’ll take a few days to complete it.

“Don’t mind them, Lukas. They just can’t accept that you can prove and succeed in bringing this money. Oh yes, about the share issue, tomorrow the family lawyer will come to take care of it. You don’t need to worry, aren’t you also a member of the Michael family?”

Lukas wanted to laugh when he heard that. Since when was he considered part of the Michael family? Oh yes, of course since Lukas brought this ten billion dollars. However, if Lukas used ‘Michael’ as his surname, wasn’t it the same as if the shares still belonged to the Michael family as a whole?

“No, Dad. I don’t want to use your surname for my shares. You can write my name as Lukas Malik. That is my real name.”

“Your real name, what do you mean?”

Lukas was silent for a moment, he couldn’t immediately admit that he was actually the son of Moreno Malik, the owner of the most wealth in the world. Lukas had to find an excuse so that Mr. Michael wouldn’t feel suspicious.

“Haven’t I been considered part of the Michael  family all this time? During this time I have changed my name and I have changed all my civil records. I have my own name, namely Lukas Malik, I think you should change the name of the share ownership to my name, Lukas Malik. Not Lukas Michael or something else.”

“Why do you have to change your name? Wouldn’t it be better if you used the surname Michael?”

“I think from the start it was you who objected it. So Lukas Malik is my name, and cannot be contested.”

Lukas immediately left, leaving Mr. Michael speechless. Unfortunately, apparently a figure who was previously considered a servant and treated in a very low manner was now able to prove and bring ten billion dollars in front of him. What a real impossibility!

This morning, Brian went straight into Lukas’ room. Without further ado, he immediately hit Lukas’ temple until it was bruised. Lukas who didn’t understand the reason of the attack suddenly became shocked too.

“You bastard, Lukas! I swear I will make an ignorant servant like you suffer until you die!”

“What do you mean? How could what happened to you and your damn girlfriend be my fault?” Lukas was annoyed.

Brian grinned again. He was about to grab Lukas by the collar of his shirt but Lukas immediately slapped him away quickly.

“Now Amanda broke up with me, she said she wanted to meet the son of the Malik family. I don’t know which damn human it was, what’s clear is that I’m sure it’s all because of you.”

Lukas smiled meaningfully, now Amanda was targeting him? A woman who only needed wealth and was reluctant to live a hard life, that was Amanda. However, Lukas now was not the Lukas he used to be when he was so crazy about a woman named Amanda.

“Maybe the son of the Malik family is much richer than you, that’s why Amanda dumped you unilaterally. It has absolutely nothing to do with me, right?”

“You ….”

“Brian, can you stop bothering Lukas!” scolded Mr. Michael.

Brian, who was annoyed, could only kick the door to Lukas’ room and then he just left, leaving Lukas alone.

Mr. Michael felt that Lukas had done quite a service to his family by giving a very large amount of money. So Mr. Michael can’t be too harsh with Lukas, he had to be very careful from now on.

“Go into your room, ignore Brian. He sure is shameless.” Mr. Michael ordered Lukas. Lukas just nodded, then he immediately went into his room.

Lukas again contacted his father’s trusted person to do something.
