Chapter 20 Jacob Regretted Badly

"That's too much!" Mr. Roti slapped Jacob backhandedly, "No one in Prodiff would dare to be so disrespectful to Mr. Riley!"

"Mr... Mr. Riley?" Jacob looked at Mr. Roti in disbelief with his hand covered on his face which was just being slapped.

There was only one person in Prodiff who was being called "Mr. Riley"!

He was the one who was in charge of the economy of all walks of life, dock transportation, and the biochemical pharmaceutical industry!

The person who was appointed by the Riley family to be in power.

That would be Logan's third uncle, Curtis Riley!

After clarifying the relationship, Jacob was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Thinking of what stupid thing he had said just now, Jacob was so frightened!

He was Mr. Riley, who was known for not letting go of anyone that had offended him!

Mr. Roti didn't bother to pay attention to Jacob's embarrassment. He treated Curtis politely and said, "Mr. Riley, it's nice to meet you today. Is it possible for me to be the host today and treat you for a dinner or drink?"

"No need. I just finished eating with my wife." Curtis responded with a lack of interest. Then, he looked at Adeline with his eyes filled with pampering.

"Wife?" Mr. Roti was surprised.

Mrs. Roti hurriedly walked to his side, whispered a few words to his ear, and nodded slightly at Adeline.

Only then did Mr. Roti look at Adeline.

Before that, he once glanced at her from a distance, who was known as Jacob's younger sister. At that time, he already felt that she looked extraordinarily elegant. By looking at her closer now, he found her even more astonished.

Not only that she was outstanding in appearance, but she also had an extraordinary charm. She was gentle and graceful like a decent lady, exuding an intellectual aura all over.

What was commendable was that she looked "soft" but not "weak"!

At a young age, she righteously carried herself. She was neither humble nor overbearing. She was very demeanor.

For sure, only such a woman like her could match Mr. Riley of Prodiff.

Mr. Roti nodded respectfully to Adeline. Then, he looked at Curtis and inquired, "So, this is your wife? She looks very elegant. Mr. Riley, you are such a lucky man!"

Curtis liked to hear others praising his wife. His expression relaxed when he heard that. After a few minutes, he stretched out his hand to hold Adeline's hand, and introduced her concisely, "Well, this is my newlywed wife."

Adeline also nodded politely to Mr. Roti.

Mr. Roti hurriedly congratulated Curtis, "Congratulations, Mr. Riley. This is such a lucky thing to have a beautiful wife! I would like to wish you two a happy wedding and a happy marriage. Please give me a chance to attend your wedding ceremony when you are having it."

Curtis nodded as to agree.

Mr. Roti looked at Jacob coldly after getting his invitation to the wedding and said, "I know what you've been up to lately. Aren't you been busy riding Mr. Baker's coattails all this while?"

"Jacob... Jacob... Do you know who gets us the honor to participate in the construction of Sky Plaza? It's Mr. Riley!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Now that you have offended Mr. Riley, I want to see who else in Prodiff will dare to do business with you in the future!"

"You could have ridden Mr. Riley's coattails, but now you have ruined everything!"

After hearing that, Jacob's face turned pale and he felt so regretful. He quickly bowed and leaned over to talk to Curtis.

"Mr. Riley. Oh no... Brother-in-law, that... That was a misunderstanding Frankly speaking, I don't know that it was your bed that Adeline climbed into. If I knew, I would not be saying something like that! I was just being protective of my sister."

Curtis held up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled politely, "Let me make it right. I was the one who climbed into Adeline's bed."

Jacob was stunned. He quickly slapped himself in the face and said, "Yes, you are right! I didn't express it well. I didn't know that Adeline married you... It was all my fault..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Roti couldn't bear listening to him anymore. He grabbed Jacob by the back of his collar, and pushed him away!

"Get out! Get lost in front of Mr. Riley! Jacob, you don't even know who your younger sister is married to, and yet you claim yourself a brother!"

Seeing that the marriage was hopeless, Jacob didn't plan to say anything good anymore. He straightened his body and said bluntly, "Mr. Roti, let me remind you. I am Mr. Riley's brother-in-law now. Please show me some respect!"

"Brother-in-law?" Mr. Roti sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know Mr. Riley well! Mr. Riley doesn't go by the relationship, but he looks at their characters! Someone like you will never be anybody to Mr. Riley!"

After listening to Mr. Roti, Adeline respected Curtis even more.

That was how a good person should be!

Jacob seemed to want to say something, but Curtis interrupted him with a faint smile.

"If I am going to call you brother-in-law, do you have the guts to take it? You will only be nice to Adeline when you want something from her, but you scold her most of the time! You are such a hypocrite!"

Jacob was choked by Curtis's words and he couldn't speak.

Curtis didn't want to argue with him anymore. He waved his hand, motioning for Adeline to push him away. Before he left, he took a glance at Steffen.

Steffen nodded immediately after receiving the secret order.

Mr. Roti was good at reading people. He probably knew why Steffen stayed back. So, he hurriedly left with his wife and daughter.

Jacob stared at Steffen. Before he could react, he was carried to the back stairs like a baby.

Creak... Creak...

Steffen snapped off Jacob's wrist in a swift.

Jacob yelled out of pain, "Ah! I... I'm your boss's in-law..."

Before he finished speaking, Steffen kicked him with no expression on his face.

Jacob rolled down the stairs and fell onto the ground. He was crying in pain.

He wanted to stand up, but his hands were broken, and he couldn't support himself at all.

Steffen walked over and condescendingly looked down at Jacob who was tossing on the ground.

"Mr. Riley asked me to tell you to stay away from Mrs. Riley in the future. If we get to hear another word that is disrespectful about Mrs. Riley, you will be unable to speak again in the future."

Jacob was having pain all over his body. At that moment, it seemed that he finally realized how horrifying that legendary Mr. Riley could be.

"Also, Mr. Riley doesn't want Mrs. Riley to know about today's incident. If Mrs. Riley hears anything about it, you will get a place to bury your body."

After finishing speaking, Steffen stepped on Jacob's hand and walked over emotionlessly.

"Ah... Ah..." Jacob's finger bones felt like they were about to be trampled into pieces, and it hurt so badly. The pain went straight to the head!

Hearing the howl, Steffen gave Jacob a faint look.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see it just now. I thought it was garbage, so I stepped on it."

After saying that, Steffen left directly.

At that moment, Jacob was very embarrassed and had difficulty standing up by himself. Therefore, he forgot about Mr. Baker, who passed out in the room and was still bleeding.

......

On the other end, Adeline pushed Curtis into the car which the driver was in.

As soon as they got in the car, Adeline remembered that the director wanted the class teacher to mention the homework to the parents in the chat group, so she quickly edited the information and sent it to the parent group.

"Dear parents, hello everyone. I am Adeline, the class teacher. Some parents mentioned that there is too little homework in our class. I would like to discuss it with all parents."

"The students in our class have a very good foundation. The homework is designed according to their actual condition. Not assigning too much homework is to spare more time for these outstanding children to read extracurricular books and develop their literacy."

"Parents, please be rest assured that the children have mastered the content of the textbook and the new vocabulary taught in class and after-school class."

"As for the request for additional homework, I will also adjust it accordingly in the future."

After those texts were sent, a family committee member, Dylan's mother responded quickly.

Adeline stared at the unread message and her heart skipped a beat. She nervously opened the chat box...
