Alex chuckled.
That was enough.
With a chilling smile, he replied, “Did you really think I refused Grandpa Abraham’s request all because of your silly threats?”
“Isn’t that why?”
Mr. Lancaster shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.
Alex’s cold chuckle echoed in the room.
“I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, overestimated you.
Mr. Lancaster was on the verge of exploding with rage.
“Are you trying to insult me?”
Alex sneered.
The answer was obvious.
“You know what? Sophia gave me $100 million as compensation.”
Mischievously, Alex deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times,
With that, Alex pulled out the bank card and waved it in front of them.
What the fuck?!
$100 million?!
As compensation?!
As Alex had expected, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster nearly choked
Mr. Lancaster’s face turned a furious shade of red, steam practically erupting from his nostrils.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes widened to the point they looked ready to pop. Mrs. Lancaster, no less infuriated, was fuming like a dragon in the throes of indigestion.
“Where did you get that?!” she screamed.
you hear me? Sophia gave it to me.”
“Didn’t you
Mrs. Lancaster glared at Alex with such intense disdain that if looks could kill, he’d have been dead and buried on the spot.
No wonder Alex had been boasting about having money.
Of course, the lowlife had extorted their daughter!
Mrs. Lancaster’s hands itched to snatch the card away and, if she could, break his hand in the process.
“That’s my daughter’s money! You have no right to take it! Hand it over!” she demanded, her hand outstretched.
Alex rejected right away.

“No. We had an agreement,
“That’s bullshit! My daughter would never give you that money. You must’ve stolen it!”
Alex shrugged.
“Either I share a bedroom with your daughter, as Grandpa Abraham requested, or I take the money and leave her alone, as she suggested. You decide.”
The couple fell silent, their faces twisting with barely contained fury.
Alex watched their reactions, amused.
“If you have a problem, take it up with your daughter, I don’t have time to waste on you.”
Without waiting for a response, he turned and headed toward the guest room.
That served them right.
“Who does he think he is?”
Mrs. Lancaster spat, turning to her husband in a fit of rage.
Alex had walked out on them as if he were some king.
The nerve!
“How dare he?! How could he extort our daughter like that?!”
She stomped her feet angrily, like a mad bull.
“Are you going to let him get away with this?” she demanded, her voice trembling with anger.
“How offending! How disrespectful! He must dealt with!”
There was no way Alex was walking off with $100 million of their daughter’s money.
Never!
That was their money, and she wouldn’t rest until they got it back.
“I demand we get the money back!” she hissed.
Mr. Lancaster nodded in agreement, his anger barely contained.
“We need to act fast. He’s getting too bold.”
“Call Jack back home,” he added, an idea forming in his mind.
“He’s the right person to deal with this trash.”
Mrs. Lancaster approved, nudging her husband.
Jack was their son strong, muscular, and more than capable of standing up to Alex.
He wouldn’t hesitate to break Alex’s bo
A thief deserved no less.
Without wasting time, Mr. Lancaster quickly called Jack, urging him to come home immediately.
Half an hour later, Jack arrived, barely welcomed by his parents before they launched into the problem at hand.

Their anger and distress were written all over their faces.
“You have to make sure he gives the card back,” Mrs. Lancaster warned.
“Take it from him however you need to.”
Jack grinned fiercely.
To him, this was a simple task.
Who was Alex, anyway?
Just some rogue who’d married his sister.
Jack was certain Alex didn’t possess any special skills–nothing that could possibly threaten him.

Annoyed that such a man had troubled his parents and forced them to interrupt his fun with friends, Jack resolved to make this quick.
All he needed was for them to point out the idiot, and he’d pounce.
Boom.
Case closed.
“Don’t worry, Mum and Dad,” Jack boasted confidently.
“I’ll handle him. Just watch.”
“I’m a big shot around here. Ask anyone- even the toughest thugs are scared of me. They obey me without question. I’ll deal with that weakling with one slap.”
As he spoke, Alex entered the sitting room, oblivious to the scene awaiting him.
It was almost noon, and near lunchtime.
The moment Mrs. Lancaster spotted him, she sneered. 1
“There he is,” she said coldly.
