Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

All of a sudden, the crowd cast a skeptical and contemptuous gaze on Alex. 

Heather felt embarrassed because her husband wasn’t a match for exceptional men like Tony and Wade. 

“Heather, you’re such an exceptional woman. I’m sure you’ve gotten married to an equally exceptional man, haven’t you?” Their homeroom teacher asked sarcastically. 

Upon receiving their homeroom teacher’s sarcastic remark, Heather couldn’t bring herself to introduce Alex to her ex–classmates. 

“Please tell me he’s at least as successful as Tony.” their homeroom teacher ridiculed Heather once again. 

“Mr. Hendrickson, aren’t you aware of the actual identity of Heather’s husband? He’s the kept–man everyone in town used to talk about back in the day!” One of Heather’s female classmates broke the silence. She got ahead of Heather and answered on her behalf. 

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing that woman’s words. 

Similarly, Heather’s expression morphed, and her face turned pale all of a sudden. 

Alex frowned while turning around, detecting an ordinary–looking woman winking at Wade with a flattering look on her face. 

Wade behaved casually and asked with a smile the moment he detected Alex’s gaze, “Are you serious? Heather has gotten married to a kept–man? You must be kidding me, right? Heather is such an exceptional woman! I can’t believe it! I don’t think she will get married to such a wimp!” 

The invited ones engaged in another round of heated discussion as they stared at Alex with odd expressions on their faces. 

After all, there were merely a few live–in sons–in–law in Nebula City. The public had always perceived the existence of such a bunch as inferior. 

If they were given a choice to switch their seats, those around Alex couldn’t wait to move away from him. 

By then, Heather could barely pull herself together she felt greatly humiliated. 

She regretted bringing Alex along with her. 

“Heather, have you lost your mind? How could you bring along such a wimp with you? You have embarrassed yourself in front of others!” 

Heather couldn’t stand the mockery coming from others anymore. All along, she had wanted to file for divorce with Alex but hadn’t got the chance to complete the procedures. 

The homeroom teacher cleared his throat in an attempt to ease the tension. “All of you should stop listening to the rumors. I don’t think a live–in son–in–law exists in society nowadays, especially in Nebula City.” 

The woman, who had mocked Alex previously, rebuked, “Mr. Hendrickson, it’s not a rumor! Otherwise, Heather would have long introduced her husband to us!” 

Consequently, everyone turned around in the direction of Heather and looked at the duo. 

Heather tried her best to calm herself down, but her mind was all over the place. 

The moment the crowd noticed Heather’s tensed response, another round of commotion came from them as they mocked Alex without holding back.
