Chapter 480 Brother–in–law
Slap!
Everyone was taken aback, their faces showing confusion. That was because the one who was hit was unexpectedly Teagan.
“Mr. Lund, why did you…” With one hand covering his swollen cheek, Teagan looked at Emrys in confusion.
He couldn’t understand why Emrys had suddenly slapped him. Could it be that he disapproves of my behavior?
In the next instant, the young man at the door suddenly cried out in excitement, “Rys, my brother–in–law!”
Brother–in–law?
Teagan’s pupils suddenly constricted. He finally understood why Emrys had abruptly slapped him. It turned out that the young man outside the door was actually Emrys‘ brother–in–law.
Teagan was momentarily stunned.
A profound self–doubt began to take root within him. Is anyone I’m encountering now someone I can’t afford to provoke? What the h*ll!
“Mr. Lund, I…”
Teagan dared not harbor the slightest resentment toward Emrys. After he realized the trouble he had caused, his face turned pale with fright.
He wanted to apologize, but Emrys had no interest in disputing

over a mere trifle with him.
Emrys looked toward the young man at the door and said, “Maximus, instead of staying at school, what are you doing here?”
The young man was none other than Maximus, Cordelia’s younger brother.
He was currently studying at Jipsdale University.
With immense excitement, Maximus exclaimed, “Rys, why did you come to Jipsdale?”
“I’m asking you the questions now.”
“Hehe. Rys, may I come in to talk?” Maximus glanced around.
Clearly, he felt too self–conscious to speak with all the bystanders around.
Emrys cast an annoyed glance at him and said, “Come in!”
The restaurant attendant also knew that this was a misunderstanding or, perhaps, a coincidence. Therefore, he tactfully apologized to Maximus and did not stop him again.
The two of them entered the banquet hall on the second floor.
Teagan followed behind, nursing his swollen face, not daring to even make a sound.
“Mr. Lund, who is this?” Samuel, Alpheus, and the others all cast curious glances tóward Maximus.

Emrys casually remarked, “He’s an old acquaintance. There’s nothing to worry about. You all continue eating.”
As he spoke, he led Maximus to a vacant table in the corner,
“You just mentioned that you came here looking for your girlfriend. What’s going on?” Emrys asked.
Maximus swallowed, “Rys, can I eat while we talk? I’m quite hungry.”
“Since you’re still in the mood to eat now, it seems this girlfriend of yours isn’t as important to you as I imagined,” Emrys couldn’t help but tease.
“My girlfriend’s name is Shanise Newman. She cheated on me.” Maximus was wolfing down his food, but the words he spoke left Emrys utterly stunned.
“Your girlfriend cheated on you?” Emrys revealed an expression that was somewhat intriguing.
“Yes, this happened just a few days ago. I’m truly upset… Hmm, what kind of fish is this? It’s really delicious when cooked this way. Rys, would you like a bite?”
Emrys was rendered speechless.
“The thing is, I’ve been dating Shanise for almost a year, but recently, I noticed something off about her. She often chatted with another man behind my back, thinking I was oblivious to it! Just a couple of days ago, I heard from my roommate that he saw Shanise walking with a rather unattractive man. I had my
