Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2048

Chapter 2048 Respect

“Why would you do that?” Sheila cried as she stood between her father and the door. “Evan will definitely not give you the loan if you do!”

“You make it sound as if he will if I stay put. He was playing me, Sheila. You know it as well as I do! If he’d wanted to, Seet Group is more than capable of having twenty billion delivered to my doorstep, but no! Everybody in Y City knows you are the daughter-in-law of the wealthy Seets. How do you think it’ll look to the city if they found out that your in-laws couldn’t even spare two billion? Do they even respect you?”

Patrick gritted his teeth in consternation as he shot a glance at his son-in-law to gauge the latter’s reaction. Davin stared at him, aghast. Disgusting old f*ck! How could you drive a wedge between your own daughter and her husband’s family for your own gain?

“Wrong,” Davin growled. “My parents, especially my mother, love Sheila more than they love me. In fact, I feel like an outsider in my own home. Sheila’ll tell you. For the sum of two billion and your own selfish desires, you stoop to instigate your daughter against her in-laws. You are despicable, sir. Rotten to the core!”

Patrick swelled with rage at his words. “How dare you speak to me like that? I am your father-in-law!”

“You are, but that doesn’t give you the right to sow discord between us! Respect is earned, not entitled. I wouldn’t give a d*mn even if you were my own father. I’d put you in your place if you deserve it. Believe me, there are a lot more things that I’m holding back out of respect for Sheila.”

Patrick turned to face his daughter. “You see how he speaks to your father, Sheila? He has no respect for me like they have none for you. Not only did they refuse me a loan, but your husband is also brazen enough to come to my house to tell me how to behave.”
