Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 

Jerome’s smile froze when he saw the R8’s headlights flicker, and a mixture of emotions flashed across his face. 

Is that yours?” Jerome stared at Alex in astonishment. 

“Whose do you think it is?” Alex asked with a faint smile. 

Jerome went speechless. Next, Alex opened the car door, started the engine, and drove out of the office. 

Just then, a security guard came over, and Jerome hurriedly asked, “Do you know who’s the owner of that R8?” 

The security guard glanced at the back of the departing R8 and said, “Isn’t it the chairman’s car? Don’t you know that?” 

“What? Our chairman?” 

Jerome’s eyes widened in disbelief as he gawked at the security guard. “Do you mean to tell me that Alex Jefferson is our chairman?” 

The security guard’s jaw dropped. He gave Jerome a once–over before saying, “Are you kidding me? Don’t you know our chairman even as an assistant manager?”

Next, he took out his phone and called his wife. 

“Hurry, get someone to delete all the news right now!” Jerome said anxiously the moment the call got through. 

He wanted to reduce the aftermath of this matter and turn the situation around. 

“Do you think I’m as capable as your chairman? That I can do everything? How can I have the authority to make the media delete those news?” 

Jerome was stunned when he heard his wife’s scornful voice from the other of the phone. 

She’s right. What authority do we have to influence the media? 

“No, no. I have to take the initiative to apologize to the chairman. And I’ll clarify on the Internet that this rumor is fake. Then there’s still a chance that he’ll forgive me.”
