Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 796

Chapter 796 Your Darling Is In The Shower 

To Alex, one hundred and fifty thousand was not a significant amount. However, it satisfied him-as he held the money in his hands-to know that it was enough to teach the elderly woman a lessoTE 

Upon arriving in Lumenopolis, he took a cab to Royal Hotel where Maggie had booked a room for him. It would be another three days before the birthday banquet would be held. 

“Shawn, look there. That’s the guy who bumped into me on the plane. You have to avenge me!” Clara saw Alex hop into a cab upon touching down at the airport and recalled his indifferent attitude toward her carlier. It upset her greatly. 

Shawn pulled Clara into his arms and planted a kiss on her check, saying, “Baby, rest assured. I will stand up for you.” 

With that, the two of them got into another cab to tail the one that Alex was in and followed him all the way to Royal Hotel. 

“Seriously? That penniless guy is staying in such a posh place?” Clara said in disbelief. 

As one of the poshest hotels in Lumenopolis, the room rates at Royal Hotel were exorbitant. The cost of one night’s stay in the most luxurious presidential suite could be as high as one hundred thousand. Even a standard room could easily cost upwards of a thousand. 

“Maybe it’s precisely because he’s penniless that he’s willing to shell out the equivalent of two months’ salary just to get a taste of staying in a luxury hotel on his first visit to Lumenopolis,” Shawn said derisively. 

Clara thought about it and agreed that there might be some truth in Shawn’s guess. Alex could actually turn out to be such a vain person. 

The purpose of Shawn’s visit to Lumenopolis was to attend the birthday banquet of the Grant family patriarch. As the assistant to the mayor of a small town like Nebula City, he normally would not be invited 

to such events. 

The Grant family had, in fact, sent an invitation to the mayor himself. However, the mayor was already scheduled to receive an important official on the same day, and he could not possibly ask the official to reschedule his visit. 

Hence, Shawn, the assistant, was tasked with sending the mayor’s present to Lumenopolis, giving him a chance to be in the midst of the rich and influential people there. 

He had originally intended to take his wife along. However, she had let herself go after giving birth to two children and was certainly looking her age in her mid-forties. He felt that she would be a disgrace to him. 

Incidentally, Clara had taken a liking to him lately and even began throwing herself at him. Being superior to his wife in looks, figure, and even in the bedroom, Shawn decided that he would take her along on this eye-opening trip. 

By the time the two of them stepped into Royal Hotel, Alex had disappeared completely from their sight. They had no idea where he was, except that he did indeed enter the hotel. 

Clara stamped her feet in anger and disappointment. She was looking forward to giving Alex a good dressing-down and did not expect that he would give them the slip. 

They proceeded to book themselves a decent room in the hotel. Once in their room, Shawn pulled Clara 

into his arms and could not wait to get into the shower with her.
