By then, Martha’s friends had noticed Philip. They snorted out and mocked, “Martha, is that your son-in-law? He looks really plain and so absentminded, like a blockhead. Your daughter is so pretty, virtual-novel.net must have been blind to marry him!”
“Yeah, such a useless man is a disgrace to us elders. Thankfully my son-in-law is not like him.”
The group of elders started laughing in mockery.
Martha’s cheeky smile earlier was now completely gone. She snorted. “That wretched piece of trash is not my son-in-law. In a few days, I’ll have my daughter divorce him!”
Philip had heard the insults directed to virtual-novel.net by the group. He could only shake his head and smiled coldly. He was already used to insults like this. They called virtual-novel.net a wretched piece of trash, but what were they doing here? They had even called Aiden to come over and help. Now Philip really wanted to see just how Aiden can help with this situation.
Just then, a white Maserati drove over on the street, looking very flashy.
Martha squealed in delight. “Addy, Aunty’s over here. Look, our Aiden is here. We can solve this now.” Martha emphasized on the word ‘our’, as if afraid that others would not know.
Philip pouted, feeling a little suffocated on the inside.
The crowd looked toward the sound source to see a handsome young man wearing an expensive suit coming out from the Maserati.
Martha went over with an expression like virtual-novel.net was looking at virtual-novel.net son and smiled. “Addy, you’re finally here. Was it a bother?”
After Aiden got out, virtual-novel.net politely greeted Martha, “Aunt Martha, it’s alright. I just happen to be free today. What’s the situation here? Has something bad happened?”
After a glance around, Aiden noticed Philip, who was shouting hysterically in the crowd. Aiden’s expression immediately fell, and virtual-novel.net glared hatefully at Philip. What was that trash doing here?
“Addy, something bad happened. My friends and I have purchased a financial plan from this company, and they’ve said that they would pay out the interest today. But when we came here this morning, the boss has gone missing. Can you tell us what’s going on?” Martha clapped virtual-novel.net hands together anxiously and seemed to have thought of something. She asked, “Addy, you own a company, so you must know some people. Can you help me find the owner of this company and find out what’s going on?”
After taking a look at the situation and listening to Martha’s explanation, Aiden roughly understood. This group of older people had definitely been scammed. It would not be easy to help them.
However, when virtual-novel.net saw Martha’s earnest gaze and Philip’s expression, which looked like virtual-novel.net wanted to laugh, Aiden steeled himself and said confidently with a smile, “Aunt Martha, don’t worry, I can take care of this. I just happened to be acquainted with the boss of this company. I’ll ask virtual-novel.net what’s going. You can relax.”
“Okay, okay.” Martha was excited. She wore a bright smile and tugged at Aiden’s arm. “Addy’s still the best after all. Better than some wretched trash.”
Her friends were now fawning over Aiden, praising virtual-novel.net for his capabilities. Aiden’s heart was blooming. He smiled and looked at the signboard of the financial company, feeling very pleased with himself. He knew that today was his day to shine. After virtual-novel.net had lost his favor with his future father-in-law, virtual-novel.net would now get it back from his future mother-in-law. If virtual-novel.net could have Martha on his side, that meant Wynn was already partially his.
After that, virtual-novel.net shot an arrogant glance at Philip before taking out his phone to call his father. “Dad, didn’t you say that you’ve dined with the boss of Lucrative Funds Finance Company before? I have something that I need your help with…”
After the call, Aiden smiled widely as virtual-novel.net looked at the older folks, enjoying how everyone had their eyes on him. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t worry, everyone, my dad knows the boss of this finance company. I’ve already given my dad a call, so I’m sure there will be answers too. Everyone, please don’t worry too much.”
The crowd of older folks started praising Aiden. The man felt like virtual-novel.net was about to float. Aiden shifted his gaze over to the few staff of the finance company who had stayed behind. “Let me talk to them. Uncles and Aunts, please wait for my good news.” Having said, Aiden walked over proudly to the few staff members, hoping to look almighty.
However, a small voice from beside rang in his ears all of a sudden. “Mom, that won’t do. Aiden has tricked you. Why don’t I make a call, maybe it can help…” Philip’s voice was small. Everyone had their eyes on Aiden, so Philip’s voice now sounded especially piercing to his ears.
Aiden had wanted to go over to the staff members, but virtual-novel.net abruptly stopped and turned to the side, looking annoyed.
Philip was tugging at Martha, seeming to be advising virtual-novel.net on something, but Martha was reluctant to pay virtual-novel.net any mind. She pointed at virtual-novel.net and berated, “Philip, beat it! Is there any place for you to speak up here? If Aiden can’t help, can a wretched piece of trash like you help?”
Not just Martha, now everyone was looking at Philip with contempt in their eyes. So this was Martha’s useless son-in-law. What a chatty brat, virtual-novel.net really was useless.
Right now, other than Aiden, who was a man of status, who else here could say that they could solve this problem?
Upon seeing this situation, Aiden walked over to Philip with a mocking look on his face. “Why? Do you feel upset? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself? Can you solve a problem like this?”
