The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back

16. First Step

Everyone laughed at Matthew's joke. They thought the proposal of a beggar was very appropriate for someone like Danny.

Sharon Bennet nodded. She thought Mrs. Huxley's move to incite the critical people in the Northern Coastal to block Danny was the right move, but after a while, she invited the young man to have lunch together.

'This woman is old but still thinks intelligently. 'She deliberately invited this son-in-law to emphasize the difference in social strata with the Huxley family and the guests,' Sharon Bennet thought.

Indeed, of all of them, only Miss Bennet understood Grandmother's intentions. The whole thing was nothing but to make fun of Danny and keep the young man entertained. As most rich people in the Northern Coastal did, they made fun of the lower classes.

Danny, who was used to the ridicule from the Huxley family, didn't care what Matthew had to say. Responding to their taunts would only make Danny the same idiot as the Huxleys.

When he realized Danny didn't respond to his words, Matthew gritted his teeth and made his swollen cheeks ache. He rubbed his cheek again and approached Dennis White, standing not far from him.

"Mr. White, on behalf of the Huxley family, I would like to thank you and take comfort in your action of publicly firing him and blocking him. We are truly impressed by that action," Matthew said, sounding sincere.

Dennis White bowed slightly in respect, "Mr. Huxley, you don't have to be so reluctant with me. What I did to Danny Raphael was the right thing to do. Not only did he offend the Huxley family, but as the operations manager of Take Meals Out, I was embarrassed by his actions. If I don't sanction him, I'm afraid people will doubt the service of Take Meals Out."

Matthew laughed again and spoke louder this time, worried that Danny might not hear what he had to say. "Ha ha ha, Mr. White, you sure know how to teach an ungrateful stray dog a lesson."

Danny glanced at Matthew and Mr White. That's when Mr. White glared, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear that you've been blocked by our company? If you dare to apply for a job at another Take Meals Out branch, I will ask the security guard to break your legs!"

Danny's blood began to boil at Dennis White's statement. His hands were clenched into fists this time, and his eyes were blazing. It looked like Dennis White was his first target for a lesson.

'Oh well, now you can laugh and insult me to your heart's content. But in less than an hour, I will drive you crazy!' Danny's mind was filled with rage.

Still burning his eyes, Danny picked up his cell phone to call Simon back.

"Young Master, what 

can I do for you?"

"Simon, who owns the Take Meals Out company. I heard he'd love to meet Grandpa and invite him to lunch. Do you know him?" asked Danny in a flat and cold tone.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Bruce Warner? Yes, he invited Mr. Big to lunch a few times, and I heard his company is expanding. He might need investment from Phoenix Crest Group," Simon replied.

Danny nodded, "Oh, does he also know that I am currently the President?"

"I think everyone knows about this, Young Master. The Great Master has already made the announcement and broadcasted it. I have even heard many people want to know who the new President is. I heard from the Vice President that there are already quite a few invitations for business meetings for you."

Danny smiled slightly, "Well, then tell him I'm willing to have lunch with him if he fires Operations Manager Dennis White. If he does, then schedule a lunch with him immediately!"

"Well, Young Master, Mr. Warner has been eager for a meeting with the President. I'm sure he won't mind what you're asking. The Take Meals Out company is growing rapidly and may be worth tens of billions."

Danny nodded. While working there, he could see the opportunities of the food delivery company. He had to admit that Mr. Warner's idea to set up this company was genius. At a time when people were too lazy to go out to queue for food or had busy schedules at the office, a delivery service was the perfect solution for them.

As a trained young man, Danny thought Bruce Warner must have other ideas to expand his business. Someone like him was worthy of the Phoenix Crest Group's attention.

After ending the call with Simon, Danny found an instant silence. That's when everyone looked at him thoughtfully. But soon, they were laughing loudly. Even Matthew held the tip of his injured lip from laughing too much.

"Ha ha ha, Danny, are you done fantasizing? Who are you to say you're going to fire Mr. White?" Matthew asked.

"Danny, if you're going to joke around, you should consider the time and place. Who will believe your jokes here?" replied Mr. White calmly.

"Who was your grandfather who made Mr. Warner want to invite him to dinner? Your grandfather is probably a farmer or a toilet cleaner, and he's probably a homeless man who only expects the government to help him eat," Matthew added, making the whole ballroom laugh even more at Danny.

"Huh! Your behavior is disgusting. You're a person who doesn't have any skills and a good background. Why are you bragging as if you are the richest person? Aren't you ashamed when you say this?" Laura added to the comments.

At this point, everyone thought Danny was a crazy person with too many fantasies. In their eyes, Danny was behaving like this because he was hurt by the blocking directed at him. But these were all consequences that he deserved.

Less than ten minutes later, Mr. White's cell phone rang. He rushed to answer it and saw Mr. Warner's name on it. He responded with a smile and showed all the guests. "Look! Mr. Warner called me this time, which was a pleasant coincidence. If I reported what this useless man just did, what would Mr. Warner's response be?"
