Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1151

Chapter 1151 Alms For The Beggar 

Upon hearing the man’s words, Alex suddenly remembered why he found the name familiar. It turned out that the man in front of him was his university classmate, Edmund Gray. 

“Edmund, you’ve changed a lot! I didn’t even recognize you,” Alex said, trying to be polite upon meeting. his university classmate. After all, the man was now working for him in his company. 

During their time in university, the two had little interaction and couldn’t be considered friends. They were merely acquaintances from the same department. 

Edmund took the takeaway from Alex’s hands and a disdainful expression appeared on his face as he said, “Speaking of change, it’s not me who has changed so much! I never expected you to be doing so poorly and resorting to delivering food. Weren’t you working as a security guard at Four Seas Corporation before? What happened? Did they fire you?” 

Seeing that his old classmate, Alex, was the one delivering food to him, Edmund couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction in this strange coincidence. 

Although the two of them had little connection during their time at university, Heather was Edmund’s secret crush. However, during that time, Heather got together with Alex, leaving Edmund with no chance to pursue her. He could only silently watch from the sidelines. 

As a result, Edmund never attended any alumni gatherings after graduating from university because he didn’t want to see the sight of Heather and Alex together. 

Later, he also inquired about Heather’s news and heard that shortly after their graduation, the two of them. got married, with Alex marrying into the Jennings family. 

Edmund believed that he could never do such a thing. It was one thing to have a crush on a dream girl, but marrying into her family as a man was like willingly sacrificing his dignity and allowing others to trample on it. 

Edmund kept tabs on Heather’s life-from giving birth to divorcing Alex. Upon hearing about their divorce, Edmund even celebrated with his friends, not because he wanted to pursue Heather after the divorce, but because he found it satisfying to see them split up. His friends had asked him if he wanted to pursue Heather after the divorce, to which Edmund replied arrogantly, “She’s been married and had a child, and she even married a loser. I wouldn’t want a woman like that even if she threw herself at me.” 

Initially, Alex thought that since his old classmate was working in his company, they should have a nice chat. However, Edmund’s words were filled with pointed remarks, and Alex wouldn’t stoop so low as to continue chatting with someone who was being cold to him, 

With a cold tone, Alex asked, “Isn’t that none of your business? How can you be so sure that I’m just a food delivery guy?” 

Edmund sneered, thinking that Alex was merely putting on an act. He disdainfully replied, “The more useless a man is, the more he likes to pretend to be successful. Just deliver food if you’re a food delivery guy. What great skills can someone like you have?” 

Adjusting his suit, Edmund looked down on Alex and said, “I’m not like you, traveling about in bad weather. In the middle of summer, you’re still riding an electric motorcycle everywhere. I prefer staying in this air-conditioned office. It’s quite enjoyable.” 

Alex had come to Tech Dome to see if there were any recent developments, not to listen to Edmund boast.
