Life at the Top

After exiting the hotel, Dawson pulled Jasper over and casually found a stall to have supper.

Just like that, the father-in-law whose net worth was over tens of billions and his son-in-law casually sat at the stall selling supper and started drinking beer. They ate cheap grilled meat too.

Jasper knew that Dawson was not in a pleasant mood, so he did not say much and got the boss of the stall to serve some peanuts and pickles that need not be cooked. He also ordered a dozen bottles of cold beer.

Accompanying the father-in-law and getting drunk together was one of the things a qualified son-in-law should do.

They opened up the beer and gulped down half of the bottle. Dawson held onto the bottle and hit it hard on the oily table.

He loosened up his necktie and unbuttoned one of the buttons on his shirt collar. Dawson lifted his eyes and said to Jasper with a bitter smile, “Was I really that embarrassing today?”

Jasper shook his head and said seriously, “Not at all, you’re the man!”

Dawson smiled and said, “Wendy’s mother, Linda, had followed me since she was 19 years old. She was the daughter of a lecturer in a university. Back then, I was just a poor brat from the village with nothing.
