Chapter 824

Joseph was very flattered. “You’re too kind, Mr. Murphy. Please, come in, come in. Have a drink. You must be thirsty.”

Mr. Murphy waved his hand and said, “No, I won’t be going in. I have an important meeting later, so I’m in quite a hurry.”

Everyone’s faces fell when they heard his words.

Mr. Murphy curiously queried, “Mr. Zelly, if I may ask, what’s your relationship with the Walters?”

“Oh, Natalie Walters is my fiancée,” Mr. Zelly quickly answered.

Natalie’s heart galloped in her chest. Mr. Zelly is the best. He just acknowledged me as his future wife.

The Walters glanced at Mr. Zelly with gratitude shining in their eyes. They knew he had said that to help their cause.

Mr. Murphy’s eyes widened in realization. “Oh, I never knew you were related to the Walters in that way.”

Then, as if he just remembered something, he said, “By the way, if I’m not mistaken, the Walters still have some unprocessed application documents with me. If there aren’t any major problems, I’ll approve it when I head back later on.”

The Walters could barely hold back their excitement.

As expected of Mr. Zelly, who achieved success at a young age due to his competence. He didn’t even need to mention the application documents; Mr. Murphy had brought it up all on his own.

There was hope still for the Walters family.

“Haha! How generous of you, Mr. Murphy,” A voice sounded all of a sudden. “You’ve agreed to approve the application documents just because the Walters are related to Joseph Zelly.”

“Are personal connections now the criteria for document approvals?”

The Walters immediately flew into a rage.

F***! Mr. Murphy has already agreed to do it. What bone do you have to pick on now?

He’s going to get it from us for messing things up.

Mr. Murphy looked at Zeke with dubiety. “And you are...”

Peter hurriedly answered, “Don’t mind him, Mr. Murphy. He’s just someone who raises a bunch of dogs in the military. He wasn’t satisfied with the hospitality we offered him, so he’s intentionally seeking revenge.”

Wolf’s Greed, who was in the Hongqi vehicle, grew instantly enraged.

F***! He said the Great Marshal raises dogs in the military? Doesn’t that mean everyone in the Alpha Suicide Squad are dogs?

If it weren’t for Zeke specifically ordering him not to do anything rash, he would have killed Peter Walters by now.

Mr. Murphy wasn’t offended. Instead, he patiently explained, “You’re mistaken, young man.”

“I refused to approve the Walters’ application documents before this because I was worried they weren’t capable of supporting such a large project and that they would consequently cause a waste of resources.”

“But now, since Mr. Zelly is about to become the Walters’ son-in-law, I believe he is more than capable.

So, my approval of their application documents is considered reasonable.”

Zeke chuckled softly. “I wonder what made you think he’s more than capable.”

Mr. Murphy replied calmly, “The fact that Mr. Zelly rides in this Hongqi is enough to prove it.”

Zeke smiled without mirth as he glanced at Joseph. “Oh. Well then, Joseph, why don’t you tell us whether this car belongs to you or not?”

Everyone in the Walters family cast Joseph doubtful looks.

They soon realized Mr. Murphy was being generous to Joseph solely because of that car.

Was this his car or not?

In truth, upon seeing that car, Joseph had already wondered which big shot had parked it here.

However, in their current situation, if he didn’t admit that this was indeed his car, wouldn’t he be making a fool out of himself?

He steeled himself and blurted, “Of course, the car belongs to me.”

“Is that so?” Zeke raised his brows slightly.

“In that case, why don’t you prove it to us?”

Joseph tried to get himself out of this predicament by going on the defensive. “Why do I have to prove myself just because you ask me to? Who do you think you are?”

Natalie, who was the only person who knew he was bluffing, instantly became a bundle of nerves. She hurriedly backed him up, “Yeah, I came here in this car earlier. What’s there to prove?”

“Alright, let’s all head inside now. Ignore this lunatic.”
