Chapter 640
Howard initially did not pay any attention as he thought that penniless man was here to suck up to Sam as well. However, his friend recognized Eugene and told him that he was the CEO of Jepton’s LeapCo.
Howard had heard of LeapCo but did not really know the company well.
However, his friend mentioned the Scotts of Jepton.
Howard immediately realized who Eugene really was.
He dragged his friend over to confirm several times that he had not made a mistake, and Howard immediately called Melanie after that.
Howard never expected Melanie to be able to do so well. She was actually in a relationship with a Scott.
Howard was quite excited. However, he had to play it cool in front of his friend and pretended that he was indifferent about this.
“What did your daughter say, Howard?” His friend walked out of the private room and looked at him thoughtfully. “You aren’t lying to us about Eugene Scott being your son–in–law, are you?”
Howard’s face fell, and he looked a little unhappy. He slapped his friend’s hand away. “There’s nothing to joke about this. He’s my son–in–law if I say he is. I wouldn’t say he’s my son–in–law if he

His friend felt a little embarrassed by this and rubbed his nose while saying, “Can I attend your dinner tonight and meet Mr. Scott too?”

Howard was put in a spot because of this. He coughed a few times, and his pride forced him to speak up, “Urm… Eugene, I just spoke with Mel about having dinner together tonight. It’s my way of welcoming both of you to Oskon City.”
Eugene looked at him and said nothing. The look in his eyes was cold and distant. He was looking at Howard like he was a stranger.
Howard coughed awkwardly and lowered his voice to say, “I was wrong the other day. I shouldn’t have criticized Mel that way in public. Please talk to her and tell her not to be mad at me anymore. I was just doing that for her own good.”

He kept silent, and Howard began to feel awkward. Even Howard’s friend looked embarrassed. He poked Howard and asked in a whisper, “Were you boasting to me, Howard? He isn’t acting like he’s your son–in–law at all.”
Howard hated it when others said he was boasting, and his face fell.
“Do you have an appointment with someone else, Mr. Scott? It’s alright even if we postpone our
meeting.”
