Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 4 A Single Phone Call

“Look into the Wallace family of Nebula City and all of the companies it owns,” Alex ordered.

“Are you planning on getting at him, Mr. Jefferson? Would you like me to help you with that?” Charlie asked.

“That’d be too obvious. She’ll notice something is off. I need to make it look like Four Seas Corporation is behind it. You can just assist Four Seas Corporation from the side,” Alex replied.

“Four Seas Corporation… Are you planning on acquiring the company, Mr. Jefferson?”

“Yeah, I am. The time is right. I worked there as a security guard to scope the place out. Not only is it in a decent location, but the CEO, Jack Sawyer, also seems like a capable person worthy of investing in. I’ll go have a chat with him today.”

“Understood, Mr. Jefferson!”

Alex then hung up the phone and stomped on his cigarette to put it out.

It’s time to say goodbye to this submissive life…

Later that day, Alex returned to Four Seas Corporation on his electric scooter.

He went there to see Jack and get his wage but was stopped by James upon arrival at the office building.

James’ lackey, Adam Bane, who was the team leader of the security guards, followed closely behind him.

“I’m surprised you have the audacity to come back here, Alex!” James shouted angrily while waving his fist in the air.

“Why wouldn’t I come back? I told you, I’m here to collect my wage,” Alex replied calmly.

James burst out laughing when he heard that. “Your wage? You got fired, Alex! We don’t pay employees their wages if they get fired! In fact, you won’t even be getting your deposit back!”

Alex narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, “Are you sure you won’t pay me my wage?”

“Who do you think you are? You’re in no position to make demands!” Adam interrupted.

“It’s company policy, Alex. I can’t pay you your wage even if I wanted to,” James said with a nonchalant shrug.
