Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 The Arrival Of Tyrael 

“Dad, what’s the matter with you? We can’t rush something like this. There’s nothing I can do when. Tyrael’s the one who refuses to come!” 

Like his father, Callum was gloomy. He, too, had nowhere to vent his anger, yet he had to listen to Nicholas’ chiding once he was home. 

Urgh, where did that bastard Yates go? Once he returns, I’m definitely going to give him a beating to relieve some 

anger. 

Again, David’s cursing came from the room, and Nicholas became even more irritated. Tyrael had refused to come, and David’s groin was rotting much faster than he thought it would. Is this really the end of the Leighton family? 

Right then. Callum leaned toward Nicholas and whispered, “Dad, why don’t we run now?” 

Just as Callum’s words left his mouth, the latter slapped him. It was a slap so hard that Nicholas himself even staggered to his feet.. 

“How did I birth a son as useless as you? You can’t even get Dr. Skyworth to come here, and all you can think about is running away. You’re nothing but a piece of trash!” 

Callum pressed his hand on his aching cheek and whined. “Dad, how can you blame this on me? Dr. Skyworth never liked David. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to come and save him! Moreover, the deadline is nearing. If we don’t run now, we’re going to be sitting ducks!” 

Hearing those words, Nicholas began shaking with rage. This eldest son of mine is truly good-for-nothing! He only knows to escape whenever he encounters any major problem. Calling him irresponsible would only be an understatement! 

At that thought, he smacked his palm on the table, jabbed a finger in Callum’s face, and berated, “You’re so stupid! Do you think we can outrun him if we flee now? No matter where we go. David will find us! When that happens, not only will we not be able to protect the Leighton family from a decline, but we might even lose our lives!” 

Once he heard what his father said, Callum’s mind went blank. He slumped onto the table as desolation crashed into him. The only hope he had was that David would be merciful enough to spare their lives. 

Nicholas nearly bellowed in anger when he saw his son’s actions. Previously, when he promised that whoever solved the crisis would become the chairman of Leighton Pharmaceutical, he had not planned on letting Yates take up the role. Instead, he had wanted to force Callum to fix his attitude. Yet, to his dismay, his eldest son turned out to be such a flighty person. 

The finger that Nicholas had pointed at Callum’s face shook, and he snapped, “This crisis of ours happened all because of you. Can’t you just think of a solution?” 

Callum scowled. If the man in front of him were not his father, he would have kicked him to the side so that he would stop buzzing in his ears like an annoying mosquito. 

Instead, Callum rubbed his face and groaned, “Can you stop scolding me? If I had a way to get Dr. Skyworth to come, I would have done so! Do it yourself if you’re that dissatisfied with me! Moreover, do you think I deliberately tried to put the Leighton family in danger? I just wanted to use David to make the Leighton family greater!” 

By the end of his sentence, Callum was mumbling under his breath. “This would not have happened if not
