SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 6 Episode 20

Alex turned around, only to see Jacob and Harper walking toward him.

Jacob had been trying to get a project from the Hales to make up for the effect of Heather’s departure from the company.

So, he had invited Henry to come over here, to meet up and to ask him for a project.

After Harper had spoken to Henry, the latter had asked her and her brother to come over first and he would meet them here.

Now that Harper had been given the post of deputy general manager in Jennings Corporation, she was full of self-confidence, and her prideful character had emerged again.

Hence, seeing Alex, she was eager to insult him.

She had always been mean to Alex.

At every reunion, she used to deny Alex a seat at the table. She would throw water or wine from her glass on his face and so on.

Now that Heather and her brother had been sacked from the company and disowned by the family, she was overjoyed.

A couple of days ago during Palladium Club’s grand opening, Jacob had spent a million to get at membership in order to get to know other members who were VIPs in the city.

He hoped that he could get into the good books of some wealthy business owners from whom he could get some advantages that would benefit his family.

With his sister Harper, he had come to the club to enjoy the luxurious environment, and he was in good spirits until he saw Alex, who had an adverse effect on his good mood.

Alex was such a wet blanket!

They really wanted to get Alex out of the club as they were afraid Henry’s mood would be affected by him,

too.

Of course, it would be better if they could get rid of him permanently.

However, Jacob knew that he was not a match for Alex in a fight and so he had been wary of offending the

latter.

Knowing that Alex was daring enough to commit murder, he was also quite afraid of him.

However, this club belonged to the Grant family and Alex did not have much power here, so he would have to behave properly and not do anything outrageous lest the owners of the club take him to task.

This thought lessened any fear Jacob had for Alex.

“Alex, you trash. Palladium Club is too posh a place for the likes of you.” Harper looked at Alex scop

Alex’s expression hardened as he replied, “Why can’t I come if the likes of you can?”

“Why?” Harper snorted. “Because you are not worthy!”

Alex could not help laughing at these words.

He was not upset because both Jacob and Harper were not fit to make him upset.

They were nothing to him and if he wished to, he could easily make a fool out of them.

Amused, Alex looked at Harper and asked her, “If that is true, do you mind explaining to me why I am not worthy?”

Harper looked down her nose at him. “Is there a need to ask? Who the hell are you? Don’t you know yourself? You only depend on your rich wife. You don’t even have the qualifications to be a doorman!”

Harper had become full of herself after getting married.

It was for this reason that the Hale family did not let her work in their company as they felt that she would bring shame upon the Hales.

Alex laughed. “Really? So I cannot come here because my wife is rich? Well, as long as I can afford it, I can go anywhere I like.”

“Tsk!” Harper sneered. “This is not a club where you can visit with money alone. Besides, the little money you have does not make you rich.”

Jacob also smiled confidently. “Alex, this club runs on a membership system. The most common membership costs half a million. What level of membership do you have?”

Without waiting for Alex to reply, Harper asked mockingly, “Are you an ordinary member here?”

“No,” Alex replied curtly.

“Then are you perhaps a Gold member?”

Again, Alex replied curtly, “Not that either.”

“Oh! Please don’t tell me you’re a VIP member.” Harper snickered.

“Wrong again.” Alex put on a playful smile.

Harper laughed out loud. “You loser, you’re saying you’re a Gold VIP member?”

Jacob laughed, too. “As far as I know, there are less than ten Gold VIP members. You can’t be one of them, can you?”

As they spoke, the Jennings siblings looked at Alex with eyes full of disdain.
