The Unappreciated Son-In-Law

Chapter 8

Frank's family is extremely unhappy with Maddy's successful signing of a cooperation agreement with T.D. Corporation, feeling that Maddy is exercising their authority in Frank's house. This time Maddy has great merit in signing a contract with T.D Group, other major shareholders will definitely value her more.

Mrs. Fidelia Neil also knew that Frank's interests were greater, so there was no stopping this. She's always wanted to make Edward the president of Frank's department store, and Maddy is just an employee. Even if Maddy successfully signed with the T.D Group this time, she would not be happy.

Hearing Edward's words, she also thought that Maddy had used tricks to seduce the director of T.D. to succeed. Once this is known to the media, the Franks will no longer have the face to go out, so Fidelia Neil is also extremely angry. She thinks that without Maddy, Edward can also sign a contract with T.D Corporation.

The more Fidelia thought about this, the angrier she felt, she just wanted to find Maddy and confront Maddy about it.

Now Maddy is at a hotel restaurant, and next to her is her prop, Louis. Louis, seeing that Maddy was still unsettled, opened his mouth and said:

“Maddy, don't worry about the contract issue. Everything is fine.”

"Louis, I still can't believe it's that simple, and that man is really your friend?"

Maddy overheard Louis talking, she turned and asked.

“Yes, Edsel was my friend when I was in K.H!”

Louis nodded to Maddy. Seeing that she was still not sure, Louis continued to say:

"He's been helped by me before so he won't refuse my request this time so don't worry."

"I just can't believe it's that simple!"

Maddy exclaims.

"Let's eat quickly and come back."

Louis softly reminded Maddy.

Maddy startled, hurriedly said:

"Shouldn't we wait for the representative of T.D. to eat together?"

“No need, he just texted me and said he was busy. The contract went to Frank's house."

Louis explained to Maddy.

Maddy heard this and immediately calmed down, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating. Louis looked at Maddy, the corner of his mouth revealing a happy smile. Being able to help Maddy is what Louis always wanted, now that he can help Maddy, of course, he won't be stingy. In his heart Louis silently thanked Edsel.

…

Louis and Maddy returned home after 8 pm. Everyone went to their own room. Maddy lying in bed thinking about Louis, she feels that Louis is a very responsible husband even though he is not as outstanding as others. Although Louis suffered a leg injury that caused her to be laughed at by a lot of people, she also heard the doctor once say that Louis would recover.

Moreover, in the past three years, Louis had never touched her body, which also made Maddy a good impression. Although the two of them are nominally husband and wife, they have never slept together, and Louis has never had any intention of going out to find a woman to solve the problem of physiological needs.

Is Louis really not hiding her to find women?

It is impossible not to say that even if Maddy is normally very cold, he will also notice such things, after all, she and Louis are husband and wife.

While Maddy was thinking, suddenly there was a knock on the bedroom door, and a voice entered Maddy's ears.

“Maddy, are you asleep yet? I have something to tell you…”

Ella knocked on Maddy's bedroom door, waiting for her daughter to answer. Maddy heard Ella's voice and ignored it, pretending to be asleep. Seeing that her daughter did not answer, she opened the door and entered the room, seeing Maddy sleeping on the bed, she approached and shook Maddy awake. Maddy saw that her mother did not want to leave, so she woke up, pretending to have just woken up:

"What's wrong with you looking for me?"

"Where's Louis?"

Ella looked at Maddy and asked.

“Mother, he is my husband. From now on, please respect him or I won't pay any attention to you."

Maddy frowned, displeased with Ella.

Ella was a little unhappy when she heard Maddy say that, and she hated Louis even more. She secretly thought that she had to find a way to make Maddy lose faith in Louis so that she could let Maddy divorce Louis, then Maddy would have a better husband.

Maddy doesn't know that her mother is expecting her to divorce Louis, even if she does, she doesn't notice. Normally, Ella would remind Maddy to divorce Louis, it would not be possible to live well with Louis, so Maddy was used to this.

"Maddy, you go down to see Augustus, he just came to visit you."

Ella stopped arguing with her daughter but reminded Maddy of what she wanted to talk about.

Maddy heard the name Augustus, her body trembled slightly, Augustus just returned from abroad, currently holding the position of deputy director of BinNo Group. BinNo Group specializes in manufacturing electronic products, accounting for more than half of the market in G.T. And Augustus is still handsome and talented, so he is very popular with beautiful girls.

Augustus and Maddy also seem to know each other, they used to be in the same class, but then Augustus went abroad to study. Since then, Maddy and Augustus have no longer contacted each other, and now hearing the news of Augustus's return feels quite surprised. And Maddy knows that Ella's mother's purpose is for her and Augustus to get to know each other.

"It's too late, what did he come here for?"

 Maddy frowned.

    "He was just passing by and came to see me and your dad."

    "Daddy's back too?"

    Maddy nodded.

    "It's too late, I have to go to bed."

 Maddy looks a bit tired, she's really tired.

    "Maddy, Augustus is a guest, you can't go to sleep. Be polite. You, young people, have something to talk about, mom and dad are busy."

Ella couldn't help but drag Maddy away.

   Louis suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes cold. He heard every word Ella said to Maddy, and he wouldn't let any man approach Maddy.

    Downstairs, Augustus was talking with Rod.

    "Augustus, the company's been quite busy lately, isn't it?"

Rod asked with a smile, showing great concern for Augustus.

 Augustus seems modest, but in fact, says with some fanfare:

"Uncle Rod, the company just took over a big job, as expected, it's a bit busy."

    "It's good to be busy, young people should focus on their career, don't just sit at home, there's really no money."

Augustus saw Maddy and Ella coming down from upstairs, immediately stood up, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked at Maddy with admiration, eyes full of admiration. He scored full marks for his performance because he had practiced in front of the mirror a thousand times with this loving gaze that no woman could resist.

But Maddy was a little uncomfortable as Augustus looked at her, eyebrows furrowed in disgust, Augustus' confidence destroyed by one small movement.

Augustus was a little embarrassed, this was the first time he saw a woman showing disgust under his affectionate eyes, although it was very uncomfortable it aroused his desire to conquer.

“Maddy, I'm really sorry to bother you so late.”

Augustus said softly.

Maddy intended to sit across from Augustus, but there was a coffee table in the middle, and Ella sat down first, so she could only sit on the sofa next to Augustus.

"Maddy looks tired, is it because of the company's work?"

 Augustus asked concerned.

Maddy coldly said:

“Augustus, call me Maddy Frank.”

There was a flash of anger in Augustus' eyes, and in his heart, he thought Maddy was too much.

"Augustus doesn't let Maddy, Maddy is a bit tired from work that's why he reacts like that."

Ella smiled as Augustus explained.

Augustus nodded in understanding.

"Ella, why did I notice? I heard about Maddy's story, but I just feel sorry for Maddy. It's just, Maddy is married, so I don't dare to care too much, for fear of causing trouble. misunderstood."

"Don't mention that trash name to me, except eating rice is useless. Maddy has a difficult life, it would be nice to have a caring and excellent husband like you."

Ella is extremely disgusted with Louis.

Maddy frowned slightly, Louis was the husband that Grandpa chose, and when Ella humiliated Louis, and also humiliated her, but unfortunately, her mother will never understand this truth.

Augustus glanced fondly at Maddy and said:

"Miss Ella, to be honest, I fell in love with Maddy from the first time I saw her. But Maddy is married, so I can only watch her from afar."

“Augustus, tell me, do you really like our Maddy?”

Ella asked hopefully.

Augustus looked very serious, and said:

“Auntie, I fell in love with Maddy at first sight.”

“So if Maddy divorces Louis, will you marry Maddy?”

Ella asked impatiently.

"Of course, my feelings for Maddy are genuine, and they won't change for any reason."

 Augustus looked at Maddy with affection and admiration on his face.

Maddy's willow eyebrows didn't loosen from start to finish, she clutched the pillow in silence, not even looking at Augustus.

"Maddy, Augustus is such a good boy. It's important that he has a deep love for you. I think you should divorce Louis. Mom does this for your own good. You really want to live with a disabled person like Louis for the rest of his life?
