The Unappreciated Son-In-Law

A high-end hotel is hosting a lavish celebration for a business entity known as the Frank Family. Hailing from the province of G.T., this esteemed family is known for their success in owning two department stores with a combined worth of nearly two hundred million dollars. The occasion being celebrated today is none other than the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Frank family. 

All the men and women are neatly and aristocratically dressed. In their hands are greeting cards and gifts.

Another person stood in front of the H. Din Hotel, dressed normally and out of place

He was wearing a $30 white shirt and on his feet were a pair of shoes bought at a roadside stand. His face is distinctly square and somewhat handsome, and his clothes are cheap but clean and neat. In his hand was a gift box wrapped in paper that didn't look too expensive.

He was Louis Mary. 

Someone whispered, "Is this the Louis who clings to his wife's skirt to get through the day?" 

"Yes. Married for three years, but he has not been able to hold his beautiful wife's hand even once. Poor guy!"

"Shame on men."

Louis had heard many such words in the past three years, and he did not want to explain.

3 years ago, Louis was accused by his brother of embezzling public funds, broke his left leg, and was kicked out by his family.

He became homeless.

But things were not that easy. 

But she doesn't seem to be happy, she looks at the man in front of her with a cold expression.

"Today is the anniversary of the founding of the company, how can you dress like that to come here to the party?"

Maddy is Louis' nominal wife and the granddaughter of the old man who helped Louis. She is a beautiful and talented girl.

That's why everyone laughed at them when Louis married Maddy.

Louis looked at Maddy and knew she'd been waiting for me for a long time. Louis held the gift box in front of Maddy and said:

"I went to K.H. City once to buy some presents. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't have time to change."

"This present..."

Maddy looked at the gift in Louis' hand and frowned slightly, but nothing more, because she did not expect Louis to buy anything valuable.

She sighed and clenched her fists. She is a strong girl, even though Louis has done nothing wrong to her, but because of Louis she is laughed at by everyone.

"Isn't that Louis over there? The house-husband has arrived."

As they entered the hotel where everyone was socializing, a voice rang out.

Both Louis and Maddy knew who it was. It was Edward Frank, Maddy's cousin.

As soon as he saw Edward Frank, Louis felt disgusted. Edward Frank was a womanizer who liked to bully women. He was very arrogant and dictatorial, spent money like water, and sooner or later would wipe out the Frank family's fortune!

What made Louis very uncomfortable was that Edward Frank always provoked and humiliated him in front of everyone.

"Oh my God, is Louis Frank bringing a terrible gift to this party? Is he deliberately trying to embarrass us?"

Edward Frank smiled as he looked at the gift box in Louis' hand, showing his contempt and disdain for Louis.

Maddy said nothing, just used her eyes to stop Louis from talking.

Louis was silent and said nothing more. The object in his hand was no ordinary item, but its value was known only to him.

"Louis, today is the anniversary of the founding of the Frank Corporation. As the son-in-law of the Frank family, shouldn't you bring a gift? Here, let me show you my gift." Edward Frank smiled contemptuously and looked at Louis arrogantly. "This is a Lintz necklace with an Aquamarine gem. It's worth $2 million and it's no longer on the market."

Upon hearing about the Aquamarine gem, the others looked at Edward Frank.

"In recent years, Aquamarine has become scarce and its value has increased many times over."

"I heard that Aquamarine has not been found for about a year."

"Engraving Aquamarine on a necklace like this must have cost Edward Frank a lot of money to buy the gem."

Hearing these words, Edward Frank became even more arrogant, but he immediately saw Louis smiling.

"Louis, why are you laughing?"

"This Aquamarine is fake!"

Louis sneered.

When Edward Frank heard Louis say that the Aquamarine he had purchased was a fake, a panicked expression appeared on his face, but he soon returned to his original pride.

"On what basis do you say that the Aquamarine on my necklace is a fake?"

Seeing Edward Frank's anger, Louis did not speak, but turned his gaze to the eldest old woman in the Frank family.

Fidelia is Maddy's grandmother, and she is also the ruler of the Frank family.

At that moment, Fidelia was staring at the necklace in Edward Frank's hand with a look of doubt on her face.

Looking at the old woman's face, Louis could guess that the Lintz necklace in Edward Frank's hand was purchased by her.

Louis looked at Edward Frank, still arrogant, he picked up the gift box in his hand and began to tear the wrapping paper. After a few seconds, a bracelet appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it was noticeable that the stone used as an ornament on the bracelet also contained an Aquamarine.
