Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 As If 

It was already nine–thirty when Alex reached home. However, he was surprised to see that Leah and Rose were still at his place. 

Heather and Carmen were in the living room too. It was as if they were all waiting for him. 

“Liar!” Rose could not help but murmur at the sight of Alex. 

The others did not seem like they were happy to see him either, especially Heather. Alex is really getting more and more unreliable. 

It was just a small matter that Stefan lied to him this time. She was more worried about Alex impersonating as the Master Geomancer at the Jones family. If they were to find out about this, would they let Alex off easy? 

Heather guessed that the Jones had found out about Alex lying to him, judging by the way Stefan was toying with Alex this time. However, she was uncertain if they would seek revenge on Alex. 

Alex smiled when he heard Rose’s murmurs. “Rose, what happened today was an accident. You know Landon and Whitney right? They were the ones making things difficult for you and asked Warren not to hire you. Mr. Jones came after you left and fired Warren right away. You could start work tomorrow.” 

He planned to call Rose to explain everything earlier in the afternoon. 

However, he threw it all in the back of his head as he was swamped in the afternoon! 

“As if I would believe a word you say. Liar.” Rose was still displeased and scoffed at his explanation. 

She felt stupid for placing so much trust in Alex. Who would have known that he’s such a dud? 

“I’m not lying to you. If you don’t feel like working for the Jones family, I would arrange another position for you at our company,” Alex added. 

Rose’s confidence has suffered a devastating blow today after all. 

“No, thanks. Heather has already made the arrangements for Rose.” Leah was obviously displeased with Alex.

Leah wanted to talk to Alex as soon as she heard her daughter accusing him of being a liar. 

However, Leah gave up on her intention since Heather had made the arrangements for Rose. 

“Sure. it doesn’t matter where you work. You’re going to succeed as long as you work hard enough.” Alex 

smiled. 

The others frowned upon his smile. 

“Why not you send Leah and Rose back since you’re here?” Heather was almost instructing him. 

“Sure, no problem. Just let me know when you guys are leaving,” Alex nodded his head. 

“We’re going back right now. I’m going back to prepare for work tomorrow.” Rose said as she got up from her seat, 

“Sure, then I’ll send you guys back home now,” Alex said as he nodded his head again.

Chapter 407 As If 

Leah cast a sidelong glance at Alex as she rose from her seat to leave together with her daughter. 

Alex had to get ready to head out again. 

Leah and Rose did not utter a word to Alex on the way home. It was apparent that they were still displeased with him. 

Upon reaching their neighborhood, the two of them did not even thank Alex for sending them back 

home. 

Alex did not comment further. He had only left after making sure the two of them had entered their home safely. 

The next day, Alex did not go into the office. He went looking for Stefan instead. 

+5 Bonus 

He was planning to invite the Jones family to join his technology company startup since he was still short of about 35 billion for his capital. 

The Jones family’s influence in Nebula City was quite far–reaching. If Stefan were willing to invest, 35 billion would not be a problem for the Jones family. 

However, the risks of a technology company startup were quite high. Moreover, the technology for producing high–end microchips that Alex was aiming for was not yet available in the country. Hence, Alex was hoping for Stefan to tap into his resources to accelerate the process. 

“Mr. Jefferson, what brings you here today?” Stefan was pleasantly surprised that Alex came looking for him in his office. 

“I have a money–making idea, and I plan to share it with you, Mr. Jones.” Alex smiled. 

“Really? That would be great.” Stefan was stunned for a moment but regained his composure right away. 

Alex looked at Stefan’s nonchalant attitude and said, “I’m not joking. Anyway, do you know who am I?” 

“I…” Stefan felt quite uncomfortable at answering the question. Aren’t you Mr. Jefferson, the live–in son–in–law for the Jennings? Do you want me to mention that as well? 

“Take a look at this,” Alex took out a gold–plated name card and handed it to Stefan. 

He took over the name card from Alex and widened his eyes in disbelief at the sight of it.
