My Formidable Husband novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Making The Call
Once the people exited Gold River Hotel, they immediately saw Globetrotter Winery. After all, it was too eye-catching—it was the most unique architecture at Globetrotter Lake.
“Douglas, do you have any way to bring us into Globetrotter Winery?”
Envy grew in Scarlett’s heart the moment she saw Globetrotter Winery. She knew well that Globetrotter Winery was a place where only the members of Jadeborough’s upper-class society could go.
Scarlett was a vain woman. If Douglas had a way to bring them in, not only would she be able to stun Julianna, but she herself would also be able to experience what it was like to be at the top of the pyramid.
Douglas’ face paled when he heard her request. He then muttered awkwardly, “Scarlett, I want to bring us in too, but this place is too high-end for us. Even my father had only been inside once when Globetrotter Winery first opened.”
Scarlett was initially disappointed. But when she heard Douglas telling her that his father had been inside before, she instantly said, “Your dad has been to the winery before? That’s amazing! No wonder he could make Mr. Songsmith back down with just a call. Wow!”
“Hahaha! I’ll have to meet your dad if I get the chance to. Perhaps we’ll be able to enter Globetrotter Winery some time in the future, unlike some people who’ll never get the chance to,” Fabian said with a smile, delighted about his future family-in-law.
Cindy and Frank snorted inwardly. They knew they had lost to Fabian.
Unlike her parents, Julianna found it amusing. The last time she had been there with Christopher, Christopher had presented the staff with a VIP black card. Even the manager had a look of respect on his face when Christopher took that card out.
Douglas glanced at Christopher before saying, “Still, I’ll be able to bring you to other places other than Globetrotter Winery.”
“Hahaha! As expected of my boyfriend. He’s capable of booking the VIP room at Gold River Hotel, and nothing happened even when Mr. Songsmith’s painting was ruined. That’s why he’s the Murray family’s future son-in-law!” Scarlett giggled.
At that moment, Scarlett had a haughty look on her face, and she looked as if someone had just told her that she had become the princess of the country. As Scarlett had been targeting Christopher the entire time, Julianna became irritated as she said, “Is that so? Why do I think that what happened earlier was rather fishy?”
“How is it fishy?” Scarlett snapped.
“The owner of Gold River Hotel did not care if he was going to embarrass your boyfriend at the start, so it was pretty clear that he was not close with your boyfriend’s family. Also, Mr. Songsmith was adamant about holding us accountable for the painting. Even if your boyfriend’s father had called him, he wouldn’t have just given up on a painting worth millions like that. Furthermore, he apologized to us,” Julianna pointed out.
She had always been suspicious about Douglas’ capabilities, but she just found no reason for her to comment about them. Now that Scarlett was continuously mocking them, there was no way Julianna was going to stay silent.
Once those words were out of Julianna’s mouth, the people around her fell silent. Christopher chuckled inwardly, thinking that his wife was really observant.
“That’s right. Mr. Songsmith was apologizing to us, and he even bowed to us! No matter how impressive Douglas’ father is, he won’t be able to make Mr. Songsmith do that!”
By then, Frank came to his senses as well. Even though he was a coward, and even though he had been living in his elder brother’s shadow, the Murrays were once rich people, so he knew how things worked between the rich.
Even Fabian was starting to hesitate. He, too, found the matter a little strange.
Douglas panicked. Indeed, he was not the one who had made the call; he had only taken the credit because no one else did.
“Hmph! I think you’re just jealous. Douglas was the only one among us who had gone to make a call. What’s the matter? Are you going to tell me that your husband actually went out to make calls?” Scarlett growled.
Julianna turned to Christopher. She knew that Christopher knew quite a number of people, like his comrades, Truman Santos, and Tyler. Those people were far more powerful than Douglas’ father.
However, Christopher only smiled in silence.
His mild response was because he had received a message from Diane. He said, “Scarlett, why don’t you get your boyfriend to call his dad? We’ll clear this up right away if we ask him about it.”
“You’re right! Douglas, call your dad and get him to clear things up. Make Julianna give up!” Scarlett instantly exclaimed as she shook Douglas’ arm.
Douglas tensed up. After all, his father was not the one to convince Merrick. If the call went through, it would be embarrassing for him.
However, an idea soon popped into his head. He bobbed his head at them and said, “All right. Wait a moment, and I’ll make you give up.”
With that, he messaged his father and told him to cooperate with him. As long as his father read the message, his father would know what was going on.
A beat later, Douglas called his father. Once the call went through, he quickly said, “Dad, Mr. Murray asked me to call you to thank you for calling Mr. Songsmith and having Mr. Songsmith let go of the compensation matter…”
