Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 This Is My Boyfriend 

The two men exchanged glances in surprise

Who would’ve thought that this family is so powerful

Ah, Mr. Wells is dropping by? Then we should leave him a seat,replied Zane, who felt much better after hearing it. He smiled brightly, but he also started to see things differently. Mr. Wells is dropping by to wish Ronald’s mom a happy birthday. This is something I should look into and consider when making future decisions

Presley took a seat after Zane sat down. That was followed by Jessica’s uncle, Ronald, and other respectable individuals in the village

Everyone was courteous, but they didn’t disrupt the traditional seating orders

Jessica, Alex, you two should sit here,” instructed Victoria when she saw Jessica leading Alex to the other table. Victoria was pointing at the two seats at the other end of the main table

Grandma, we’ll just sit there,replied Jessica. She didn’t want to go against the traditions

Victoria chuckled and said, Ah, my granddaughter, just listen to grandma, will you?” 

Let’s just sit at the main table with your grandma,agreed Alex. He figured that Victoria must have her reasons for asking them to sit over there, so he didn’t reject her offer

Okay, then,replied Jessica, who had no choice but to sit there since Alex had already agreed to it

Mom, it’s fine for Alex to join the main table. But Jessica should sit at the other table,suggested Kitty as she frowned

The tradition dictated that younger women were not allowed to sit at the main table when important guests were around. That was especially true when the important guests in question were someone as powerful as Zane

We’re in the modern age. Let’s not talk about all this anymore. Come sit with us,” said Zane with a smile

Kitty didn’t raise any objection after hearing what Zane said

Alex then sat beside Zachariah while Jessica sat beside Alex

Zane saw their seating arrangement and thought that they were deliberately putting his son at a disadvantage

Ronald, I don’t recognize this guy. Introduce him to us, will you?requested Zane. Ronald was Zane’s righthand man, so Zane still felt like he was the boss even as he sat there

That was somewhat normal since he was the most powerful figure over there

That is probably Jessica’s friend?replied Ronald, who wasn’t sure what was happening either

Ah, a friend from the city? He traveled all the way over, so he’s an honorable guest. How can we let Zachariah sit in a more prestigious seat? Zachariah, switch seats with the guy,instructed Zane with a smile

Zane wanted Alex to sit closer to the head of the table, and it might seem like he was saying that the guy Was a more important guest compared to his son. However, it was obvious that Zane was trying to give his

son more opportunities to get closer to Jessica. Zane had already sensed that Victoria seemed to have something strange planned

Mr. Hayes, that won’t be necessary. It works out well for the new couple to sit together,informed Victoria directly

They would have to face Zane and his family sooner or later anyway, so Victoria thought that she might as well rip the bandaid off. It’d just be even more embarrassing if Zane had publicly asked to let the two kids be engaged later on. That would make things truly irreversible with the Hayes family

What?” 

Aside from Alex, Jessica, and Zachariah, everyone at the table looked flabbergasted as soon as Victoria said those words

It was true that the Hayeswas there to wish Victoria a happy birthday, but everyone knew that the Hayeswas also trying to talk about Jessica and Zachariah’s engagement

Zane looked utterly terrible at that moment

Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Alex. I didn’t get a chance to introduce him to you guys beforehand,informed Jessica as she turned to Ronald and pointed at Alex

Hello,” greeted Alex to Ronald

Ronald’s expression darkened immediately. He nodded stiffly, like a robot, without saying a word

Jessica’s marriage into the Hayes family could affect his career and his future

Just when everything seemed to go according to his plans, Jessica showed up with a boyfriend all of a sudden

How were they going to deal with the Hayesnow

The other members of Jessica’s family turned pale as well

Zane and Presley were the most powerful guests of the day, and their glares at Alex were downright horrifying

When the younger members of Jessica’s family heard the shocking news, they turned around and stared as if they were only interested in watching the show. Jessica’s mom, on the other hand, was worried sick. We just messed things up with Mr. Hayes! 

Naturally, Alex didn’t care about Zane’s or Presley’s fury

If he was being honest, Alex saw a puny figure like Zane as someone who wasn’t even qualified to comb his hair. Alex could kick that man’s butt regardless of whether Zane attacked aggressively or passively

Mr. Wells is here!” 

Someone suddenly informed the party at that moment. Everyone turned around and saw an elderly man in his fifties walking into the house
