Chapter 574 No Match
“I swear I’m not, Dad! I was just trying to find out who the chairman of Four Seas Corporation is. I know that Alex’s wife, Heather, is close with the chairman, so I tried to get close to her. That’s it. I never expected that good-for-nothing to mistake me for making at move on his wife. That’s why he had his men ambush me and break my legs. I didn’t do anything to offend or anger Tyrael at all. The old man just kept telling me how much he respected that live-in son-in-law. Hey, if you don’t believe me, call that old man.”
What Stuart failed to mention was his intention to spite Alex by getting close to the man’s. wife. That was the real reason why Stuart got injured, but he decided to leave that part out intentionally in fear of his father’s fury.
“I’m warning you. You better not lie to me.”
After scoffing at the phone, Elvis hung up on his son and immediately called Tyrael afterward.
It took around twenty seconds before the call finally went through. “Tyrael! How are you, my
friend?”
“You must be calling me because of Stuart, aren’t you?”
Elvis then chuckled embarrassedly in response before continuing, “We’ve known each other for quite a while now, haven’t we, Tyrael? And I’ve always considered you a dear friend of mine, so could you find it in your heart to forgive Stuart? He’s just a boy. You know what? Why don’t we go grab a drink when I visit Nebula City tomorrow?”
As Stuart’s father, Elvis had to check on his severely injured son. He decided to meet with Tyrael while he was in the city. The man planned to apologize in Stuart’s place and convince. the physician to help his son.
“No, thank you. I meant what I said to Stuart, Elvis. I had my reasons for being mad at the boy, and I still am,” replied Tyrael..
“Then at least be honest with me, my friend. What exactly did that stupid boy do to offend you so much?”
Tyrael scoffed coldly at the question before explaining, “Not me. Stuart offended Dr. Jefferson. Not only has he done so repeatedly, but he has also tried to drug the man’s wife. And he would’ve gotten his way had Dr. Jefferson not arrived in time to stop him.”
Immediately, Elvis boiled with anger when he heard Tyrael. “That idiot! I’ll teach him a lesson he’ll never forget when I arrive at Nebula City tomorrow,” promised the man before
hitting his focus to the doctor that Tyrael mentioned. Tyrael, who is this Dr. Jelle
me that he’s a live-in son-in-law. Is that true?”
“It is. Dr. Jefferson may be a live-in son-in-law of the Jenningses, but he has skills and talents that you can never imagine. To tell you the truth, I used to have a chronic condition that tortured me for decades, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. It was not until I met Dr. Jefferson that I was finally relieved of my suffering. I owe that man my life.”
Elvis could not believe what the elderly man was telling him. “Are you sure you weren’t fooled by that man, Tyrael? If he’s that talented, why is he a live-in son-in-law? From what I know, only useless, worthless men do that.”
