The Useless Son In Law

CHAPTER 6: He Had Some Money

Oliver Cooper sitting on a chair by Ava's bed. He and ava were talking and laughing, looking very close.

Oliver was his classmate from university, and he always had feelings for Ava.

Ever since James married Ava, he had become a thorn in Oliver's flesh.

After Oliver graduated, he opened a cultural company with the fund provided by his father. He seemed to be doing quite well and always showed off his wealth on I*******m to express his superiority.

"Oliver, what are you doing here?" James asked with displeasure.

"I called him to come here," Ava said impatiently.

"Ava, take care." James stood up from the chair and smiled at her, saying, "Don't worry! I'll take care of this issue about Cartier."

As he turned around, Oliver's smile was different. It was filled with disdain and pride.

"Oliver, thank you for helping me," Ava said politely as she watched him leave.

James put the sandwich he had bought on the table and asked Ava with a dark face, "Why did you ask him for help?"

"What do you think? Can I count on you if I don't call him?" Ava gave a bitter smile as she glared at James and said, Will you be able to fix it?"

I..." Just as James was about to reveal his true identity, Oliver returned.

Ava retracted her previous coldness and revealed a smile again. "Oliver, what are you doing back here?"

Seeing the smile on her face, James was vexed.

Oliver returned to humiliate James on purpose. He wanted Ava to realize that she had made the wrong choice.

"Well..." Oliver put the bouquet that he bought just now on the table and said, "Ava, I bought some flowers for you.

"Oliver, this is so thoughtful! I'm feeling fine." Ava smiled with a trace of embarrassment. She said I'm sorry. You spent a lot of money because of me.

After saying that, Ava shifted her gaze at James, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She was currently embroiled in a lawsuit, but her husband could not do anything to help her out. And now, they even had to accept help from someone else.

"Don't mention it!" In the blink of an eye, Oliver sneered and said ironically, "Ava, you know, James and I were classmates from university. This bit of money is just a piece of cake."

Hearing that, James could no longer bear it.

"Shit! Hello? I am right here?

"How can you two just ignore me!" He cursed in his heart.

James threw the sandwich onto the table and said in a cold voice, "I can afford the medical fees for my wife. You don't have to worry about it!"

"James, what's wrong with you?" When she saw that Oliver was embarrassed by what James said, Ava's face darkened. She said, "You must apologize to Oliver!"

She knew quite well about what kind of person James was.

Oliver had promised to help her with the lawsuit issue and had even been kind enough to pay her medical fees. Yet, James gave him such an attitude.

How rude he was!

Hearing what Ava said, Oliver was secretly delighted. He pretended to be mangamonius and said, "it's okay. Ava, relax! You're a patient, so don't be angry. And don't blame James. I've heard about what happened this morning. Allen had gone too far."

"James." Oliver changed the topic and patted James on the shoulder. "It doesn't matter if you failed to borrow money. You can count on me. I was your classmate! Just tell me how much you need!"

Compare to Oliver's magnanimity, James appeared incapable and discourteous. After hearing what Oliver said, Ava felt even more disappointed with James.

James clenched his fists tightly, wishing to punch Oliver's hypocritical face.

"Isn't it just a matter of money? Do you think I don't have it?" James coldly slaps Oliver's hand away.

As he heard it, the triumphant smile on Oliver's face instantly froze. He looked awkward as if he had just eaten a piece of shit.

Then, James took his backpack and unzipped it. Several colorful stacks of cash appeared in front of them.

Ava was the most surprised. She was curious about how James got so much money and where it was from.

Moreover, as far as she knows, any of James' friends would be impossible to lend out so much money at a time.

"You paid for her medical expenses for a week just now, right?" As James spoke, he took out a stack of cash from his backpack. I'll give you 4,000 dollars, including the cost of the flowers. Now take the money and get out of here."

Oliver, who had wanted to watch James make a fool of himself, had not expected himself to be fooled.

"Well, James, you're quite generous." Oliver didn't take the money. Instead, he continued to speculate, "Since when have you made such a generous friend? Why don't you introduce me to him someday?"

"It's none of your business! Just take the money and get lost." James threw the money over with displeasure and pointed at the door.

"That's enough, James!" Ava felt embarrassed as she said, "Oliver is helping me settle the lawsuit with Cartier. Can you stop being ridiculous?!"

"You think I'm ridiculous?" James sneered with anger as he said, "Ava, why is this guy so eager to help you? Don't you have any idea about his intention?"

Ava was quite shocked by James' abnormal behavior today.

Moreover, James was arguing with her in front of outsiders. She felt even more awkward.

"You.. what nonsense are you talking about?" Tears welled up in Ava's eyes. She was utterly disappointed with James.

Seeing Ava's sad look, James could not bear to continue arguing with her.

"Stop looking at us! Take the money and leave now" James stuffed the 4000 dollars into Oliver's hand and pushed him forcefully out of the ward.

The door was closed with a thud.

Ava sobbed softly. James realized that what he said just now was a little too harsh.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice, I'm sorry. Stop crying, Ava. How about you get up and finish your sandwich?"

"Let me ask you. Who did you borrow this money from?" Ava wiped the tears on her face and asked coldly.

It's just uh... A friend." James felt it wasn't the right time to tell her the truth yet.

When he left Miller's organization, Leo returned all his bank cards to him.

He went to the bank and withdraw 20 thousand from one of his cards as his pocket money.

However, Ava had no idea that this useless husband of hers was now the sole heir to a huge business empire worth more than billions of dollars.

He had such unbelievable power that even his single thought could impact most companies.

"Which friend did you borrow from?" Ava continued to ask.

"Henry." Since he had fallen from grace, James had only one good friend and that was Henry.

"Henry is walking as a delivery man. How would he have enough money to lend you?" Ava believed that James did not tell her the Truth. She shook her head in disappointment and said, "James, even if you are incapable, you can't borrow money from the loan sharks behind my back and pretend to be wealthy.

"Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Hearing what she said, James also became angry and said, "Ava, I can assure you that this sum of money has nothing to do with loan sharks. Why can't you just trust me?"

"You don't have a job, nor any friends." Ava got agitated as well. She continued, "You even have to get 500 bucks from me as your pocket money every month. Now you suddenly take out such a large sum of money. How would I believe you?

James, can you stop doing ridiculous things and not be so useless. Do something useful so I can raise my head in my family with pride!"

Tears welled up in her eyes again. In the past, James was so high-spirited when they were still students in the university.

But now, he had become such a useless man who could only live off of his wife.

"I know what I'm doing." James left the money in his backpack to Ava and then walked out in frustration.

His poverty made the people around him disdain him.

Every day, his mother and father-in-law kept forcing Ava to divorce him.

And Ava was in a low position in the Bailey family because of their marriage.

James was still thinking about the argument with Ava and decided to give Henry a call and also asked him about his injuries.

However, he heard Henry crying as soon as the call went through.

"Henry, what's wrong?"
