This Worthless Son-In-Law is a God of War

6. Invitation from the Commander-in-Chief

"Capricorn managed to break into Smith's security centre, he's still looking for evidence related to Xania. He said it would be very difficult to find the CCTV footage connected to the location area from the Smith Group's perspective, they might have lost track of it. But if we can search from the King Group hotel's perspective, we might find it, boss!" Leo exclaimed, making Xavier look at him expectantly.

"Capricorn is right! Why did I just think of that?" muttered Xavier, making Leo shrug his shoulders in casual response.

"But the King Group's security is so strong that Capricorn will try to break in. We just need to know the date when Xania fell from the top of the building." Leo added.

"I wonder, was there a witness from the King Hotel at that time? It's impossible that they didn't see it. I suppose, apart from breaking into the CCTV security, what about the data on the occupants? At least on the floor parallel to the crime scene, I want to make sure one of them saw it," Xavier said, tapping his finger on his chin.

"That makes sense, if you want to try, I'll ask Capricorn to look for the data as well, boss."

Xavier nodded in agreement. "Is it okay if Capricorn gets so many tasks?"

"Of course, she'll be more than happy to serve you, boss. We don't mind," Leo said with a broad smile.

Their car was on its way to the address of David Guetta's main house, a property owned by the Guetta Group. Xavier himself had only recently learned his father's surname. David used to go by a nickname, he said he had no family name. This humiliated him in front of the whole Smith family. Then, when David married, his surname was added to the Smith surname. Now he has returned to his place of origin.

Xavier watched every step of the way until their car climbed the hill where the Guetta Property estate was located under very tight security. Leo had a Guetta Property pass to enter the estate. The houses here were very large and spacious.

"Your family's property is the largest and most expensive. I've just found out that you come from a noble family, boss. And your parents' house is at the other end of the hill because it's the most spacious estate," Leo explained to Xavier.

It was still a twenty minute walk to his parents' house, but since they were in a car, they could get there faster. A porter opened the gate immediately after hearing several car horns when he recognised Leo's car.

The courtyard alone was huge and it was a five minute walk to the main door of the house. There was a small garden with plants, a fish pond and a small fountain. There was also a strawberry farm behind the house.

Xavier immediately got out of the car with Leo, while the car was immediately taken over and parked by the guard of this house. The two entered the mansion and were greeted by one of the servants.

"Young Master has come? Please come in Young Master, they're waiting for you in the living room over there," said Ira, the maid's name.

"Xavier?" A middle-aged woman, who had not seen Xavier for a long time, immediately got up from her seat and ran to hug him. "Xavier, we've finally met!" exclaimed Ella, who immediately hugged her son tightly.

Xavier, frozen in place, also returned his mother's hug. He looked at David who was smiling as he watched them.

"Mum, how are you?" Xavier asked quietly in his soft voice.

"Mum's fine, son. I'm sorry things have turned out like this." Ella still hugged Xavier with mixed feelings and even had tears in her eyes.

"Fortunately, Xavier is happy to hear that Mum is still alive."

"Come and sit down, son." Ella immediately invited Xavier and Leo to join David.

"So Mum and Dad have lived here all this time?" Xavier asked to start the conversation.

"Yes, this will be yours. Your name should be Xavier Guetta, you are no longer considered by the Smith family. You are all banished, but don't worry, you still have the Guetta family heritage." Mum smiled broadly as she explained to Xavier.

"Xavier doesn't care about that, Mum. Xavier just wants to know the truth about Xania, she couldn't have killed herself. And Xavier promised to take over Xania's property," Xavier said as he looked intently at Ella.

"I also believe that you will take over all the assets that should belong to you and Xania." David chimed in with a warm smile that made Xavier smile back.

"What about the list of invited guests that will be attending Leo's party? Are you really not going to reveal your identity to everyone Xavier?" David changed the subject as his eyes moved to Leo and then back to Xavier.

"Well, I won't be coming as Commander-in-Chief. But I would like to come as an invited guest with Savana," Xavier said as David nodded.

"Sir, this is the list of invited guests you requested." Leo handed over an important document with the special invited guests and there were already some names written before the invitations were distributed today. "There's a list of names from high ranking officials to high profile companies to companies at the request of Mr Guetta himself and you and Xavier can revise it if you don't want anyone there, including the Smith family."

"Xavier has never met Grandpa Guetta, where is he Mum, Dad?" Xavier asked suddenly, looking for someone's whereabouts.

"Ah, he will meet you personally Xavier. We don't know either, although we said you were coming here this morning," David said, and Ella nodded.

Xavier nodded briefly with a short sigh. Then he and David looked at the guest list.

"I'd like to cross off all the Smiths," David said and Ella and Xavier agreed. "What about you Xavier?"

"Please revise for the Cooper family, I think the representatives are Joseph, Anggie, Sheila, Jennifer, Robert, Savana and me, Dad. While the others can watch the event at home on their respective televisions. Because the event will be broadcast live all over the world, right?" Xavier exclaimed as he looked at David.

"Yes, that's right. Why do you want only them to come?" asked David, wanting to know his son's reasoning.

"Sheila is very nice, so I invited her parents because they have no problem with me. As for Savana, I wanted to invite her parents too because I wouldn't want to upset my wife. The others, I'm not too keen on inviting them because you know if I don't look like what they want, they won't like me very much."

"So the reason you're having such a lavish wedding is to show them you're capable of bringing happiness to Savana?" David guessed what she was about to tell Xavier.

Xavier just nodded briefly.

"Why don't you invite Savana to stay here with you, Xavier?" Elle, who had been listening to her husband and son's conversation, asked.

Xavier gave Elle a small smile. "Of course it's not time yet, Mum."

"Yes, but you really want to be close to Savana."

"Patience dear, Xavier still has many tasks to complete. There will come a time when Savana will know who Xavier really is. But not by telling her family. I don't want Xavier to be used by the Smith family or Cooper. Neither do you," David said, which made sense to Elle.

Leo cleared his throat before speaking. "Well, if there's nothing else to change, I'll tell Scorpio to hand out the invitations with the names on them right away."

"Yes, you may proceed, Leo." Xavier replied as he nodded in agreement.

Savana, who was in her room, was called by Joseph, who suddenly visited her office. She was quite surprised because he didn't usually come without urgent business. Of course Joseph had a lot of work to do, he was the CEO of Cooper's main company.

"Why did you come here?" Savana looked at Joseph who took a deep breath.

"Let's go to Cooper Company. Grandpa called us. I called you but you didn't answer my message." Joseph immediately told Savana to get up. The head office happened to be very close by, so it took Joseph five minutes to get there by car.

"Is there a problem so serious that you had to come and see me? I've been working a lot, I'm sorry I haven't checked my phone."

"Of course it's a serious matter!" Joseph and Savana immediately got into the lift and went down to the lowest floor, then rushed to the main office.

Sheila had also been summoned and Jennifer was there too. For whatever reason, the four of them went straight into Cooper's room.

'Thwatck!'

It was very surprising because Cooper suddenly looked very angry.

"What's wrong Grandpa, why are you so angry? Are we all making trouble?" Sheila immediately threw questions at Cooper.

The grey-haired middle-aged man looked at the four of them who were confused. "This is an insult," Cooper said, his sharp eyes fixed on them.

"Humiliation?" Joseph interjected, raising half an eyebrow in surprise.

Cooper's eyes were red and he was angry. "Why is it that only your family is invited by the GREAT PRIME MINISTER?"
