Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051 Convinced 

 “What? What on earth are you talking about? And who is this, Grandpa? Where did this charlatan from the streets come from? How dare he deceives and swindles the Greaves family? Does he think we are three- year-olds who would be fooled by him? Get out, get out now! Gregory, though physically weak, didn’t mince his words as he poured insult after insult on Alex. 

Hearing that, Tobias, standing at one side, immediately rapped Gregory on the head and exclaimed in anger, “Impertinent child! Do you know what you’re saying? If not for Mr. Jefferson here, you’d be long 

dead!” 

Previously, Tobias was also skeptical of Alex, deeming him a fraud. However, after Alex placed a talisman on Gregory, and the latter’s condition instantly stabilized, Tobias ascertained that the young man before him was a genuine master geomancer. 

He figured they should be buttering up someone as formidable as Alex, yet his son dared to mock Alex. Hence, it was no wonder Tobias was incensed. 

At that moment, Garett shared Tobias’ sentiment, wholly convinced of Alex’s abilities. He initially thought he was doing Alex a favor. Looking back now, Garett felt encountering Alex and establishing a good rapport with the latter was the best decision he’d made. 

“I-I’m sorry. Mr. Jefferson. It was my bad for being disrespectful toward you. Please don’t take it personally,” Gregory reluctantly apologized while pulling a face. 

Alex waved his hand in response. Now wasn’t the time to be bothered by such trifles. Wearing a grave expression, he asked Gregory again, Think carefully. Have you ever harmed a girl named Erika Baxter?” 

In the brief moment just now, Alex deliberately asked the female ghost in the blue dress about her name. Only then did he learn her name was Erika Baxter. 

Hearing Erika’s name, Gregory, who was still behaving nonchalantly seconds ago, instantly underwent a change in demeanor as a peculiar expression spread across his face. 

“I don’t know her. Erika Baxter? That sounds like the name of a country bumpkin. How could I possibly know such a person? Pift!” Gregory uttered disdainfully. 

Right after he finished his sentence, Erika, who had been watching the scene, glared at Gregory with reddened eyes, stretching out her hand to lunge at him. 

Alex wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Erika was knocked back by the Totem of Electric on Gregory. 

“If you don’t come clean, I seriously plan to stop meddling in this matter further. The Greaves family’s business has nothing to do with me in the first place.” Alex was very displeased with Gregory’s attempt to hide the truth, even at that point. 

Hearing Alex’s words, Tobias instantaneously panicked. He severely reprimanded Gregory and ordered. “B”stard! What more do you wish to conceal at this point? Hurry up and tell us everything!” 

Gregory also fathomed he could no longer keep that matter to himself, so he told Alex everything that had happened. 

Tobias owned a large business with many subsidiaries, and since Gregory was idling and loating around all the time, Tobias decided to let Gregory manage a small company in the hope it would make the latter more proactive
