The Son-In-Law Shot To Fame Chapter 167

Any ordinary person would be afraid to hear his name.

As expected, Kristina’s face turned pale at the sight of Zayne. “Mr. Yates,” she immediately bowed and greeted him.

“Who are you?” Zayne retorted without showing her the slightest respect.

Kristina’s face flushed before turning pale.

Her mother immediately chimed in, “Mr. Yates, she’s one of your administrative officers. Both of you had a meal together some time ago.”

Zayne came to a sudden realization. “Oh! I remember that now!”

Kristina was delighted to hear that. However, the thing Zayne said next made her die of embarrassment.

“She tried to seduce me at that time, but I rejected her. Despite being single and available, I’m not that desperate.”

Kristina’s face burned with embarrassment. Every pair of eyes in the room fell upon her.

Is that true? It’s so embarassing.

Zayne waved his hand dismissively and said, “Fine. You no longer need to report to work from tomorrow onward. I’ll inform the office about that.” He then moved his wheelchair toward Raymond and struggled to get himself up.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to do that,” Raymond said.

“Old Mr. Campbell, happy birthday. This 100-year-old ginseng is for you. Ginseng is an excellent energy-restorative supplement.” Zayne handed over a red box with ginseng in it. It was impossible not to notice that it was of top-notch quality.

Another extravagant gift!

The Campbells were excited, except Raymond, who had put on a solemn face and was eager to leave.

However, he couldn’t do so as Sixten hadn’t arrived.

Raymond sighed. “I wanted to be low profile…”

Before he could finish his words, a young man rushed in and prostrated himself before Raymond.

“Please forgive me for showing up without an invitation. Grandpa, I wish you many happy returns, great fortune, good health, and longevity.

No one could see his face as he remained prostrated.

M Raymond was stunned. Which grandson is this? How come I have no idea who he is?

“Lift up your head,” Raymond said.

“All right.” The young man lifted his head and showed his handsome face. He flashed an obsequious smile with his perfect white teeth.

It was Frankie, the master of fawning in Pollerton.

The Campbells were utterly stupefied.

Everyone knew Frankie’s character. He was a bully who preyed on the weak. However, he wouldn’t hesitate to fawn over a more powerful person.

What does this mean? It means either Raymond or Donald has become powerful enough that Zayne and Frankie are willing to butter up the two of them.

“Get up,” Rayment said resignedly. He sincerely wanted to remain low-key.

Donald had wished for the same too.

However, things went along against their wish.

All of a sudden, Gideon let out a laugh. “Raymond. Not bad. After not seeing each other for a year, you’ve managed to impress me. I didn’t expect you to progress secretively to such a level.”

“Not bad, right?” Raymond was not in the mood to explain.

“However, all these people seem to be businessmen. I don’t see any influential politicians,” Gideon scoffed.

The Campbell clan had yet to lift the seal imposed on Raymond. Therefore, no one from the realm of politics dared to show him support.

1 Shortly after, a loud voice came from the outside. “Old Mr. Campbell, Joshua’s here. Happy birthday!”

Then, two men in suits walked in.

They were Johnny from Johnny’s Antiques and Joshua, who was the successor of Pollerton!

Joshua was a man of integrity. With a solemn expression, he handed a gift box to Raymond and said, “Old Mr. Campbell, happy birthday. I can’t stay to have a meal as I have something important to settle.”
