The Ultimate Son-in-law

Chapter 4: Thrown in Jail

"Keep it under control. l'll be right there," Iris hung up the phone andimmediately gave Alex an order, "Alex, bring the car out and drive me to Sophia'scompany!

"Auntie, what happened to Sophia?" Carl got up from the ground and glanced atAlex with hostility before showing a concerned expression on his face.

"l'm not sure either, but it seems like something has happened," Iris saidimpatiently when she noticed Alex wasn't moving. "Are you out of your mind? Let's9o!"

Alex didn't say anything and headed outside to get the car.

Iris and the others reached the outside, and Carl comforted Iris, "Auntiedon't worry. l have connections with some important people in the city. lf anyonedares to cause trouble at Sophia's company, l will make sure they regret it."

Iris's heart felt a little relieved upon hearing this, and by then, Alex had parkedthe car in front of them.

Sophia's cosmetics company was located in the bustling city center. After more thanhalf an hour, the four of them arrived at the company's entrance.

There were many people gathered around the entrance, craning their necks to seeinside.

Occasionally, a woman's angry voice could be heard from the lobby.

"You don't need to explain to me. Just look at my face! Ever since l started usingyour company's cosmetic products, my skin has turned into this mess! You unscrupulous merchants have the audacity to sell such low-quality cosmetics!"

The woman who was angrily scolding appeared to be in her forties, wearing loosecasual clothing. Her once attractive face was now covered in terrible acne.

Sophia, dressed in a white office outfit that exuded professionalism, stood in front ofthe woman, her expression reflecting a sense of empathy and understanding. "l'm truly sorry for the distress you're experiencing," she said gently, trying to reassurethe woman. "The cosmetics we offer are carefully sourced from reputableinternational suppliers, and we take quality control very seriously. We can go to the authoritative institution in Hereward City for testing...

"Testing? Bullshit! The fact is right in front of us. lf you don't cure my face, l'llbankrupt your company, and you'll rot in prison!" the woman shouted.

"Madame, how about we go to the hospital first?" After all, what this woman held inhand was indeed their products. Based on her appearance and demeanor, she didn'tseem like someone who was trying to scam them, so Sophia couldn't act tough inhandling it.

Just then, Iris and the others squeezed their way in.

"Mom, why did you come?" Sophia was somewhat surprised.

"With such a big issue, how could l not come? What exactly happened?" Iris sawthe terrible acne on the woman's face and knew that things were difficult to handletoday.

Sophia briefly explained what had happened.

It turned out that the woman came here yesterday to buy a bottle of importedmoisturizing cream. After using it this morning, she broke out in many pimples andcame here to complain.

This imported moisturizing cream had good sales in the domestic market, and suchissues had never occurred before.

"Madam, please calm down. Now that it has happened, the most important thing isto find a solution, don't you think?" Iris politely said to the woman.

The woman sneered, "Solution? Fine, since it's your daughter's cosmetics that ruinedmy face, let's start by scratching her face and then compensating me with thirtymillion.l won't pursue this matter further."

"Thirty million?" Iris gasped, shocked by the exorbitant demand.

At this moment, Carl stepped forward. "Madam, we must approach this situationrationally. This cosmetic product wasn't only sold to you. Others have used it withoutany problems. lt seems that the issue isn't with the products."

"So, you're saying l deliberately came here to extort money?" the woman stared atCarl.

Carl instinctively took two steps back and forced himself to remain calm. "That's not what l meant. How about this? l know the director of the prestigious Hereward CityBeauty Clinic. lf you come with me to the hospital, l guarantee they will restore yourface to its original condition.

"Are you suggesting.. that l should get plastic surgery?" The woman suddenly threwthe bottle of cream in her hand at Carl. "Get lost!"

"Hey, why did you hit me?" Carl winced in pain, becoming angry himself. "lf youkeep causing trouble like this, l'll call the police to arrest you!'

"Hahaha, the police arresting me?" The woman laughed as if she had heard thefunniest joke in the world. "Do you know who l am?"

"Who are you?" Carl looked her up and down.

"'m the sister of the richest man in Hereward City!"

"Ah..." Carl was dumbfounded and dared not say another word.

lessica and Sophia were also stunned. How did they manage to offend such aninfluential figure? What were they going to do now?

"Madam, please calm down. lf l can make the acne on your face disappear, will youconsider dropping this matter?" At that moment, a man's voice suddenly spoke up.

Everyone turned to find out who had the audacity to make such a bold statement.

Sophia also looked over and was surprised to see that Alex had followed them,wearing an expression of disbelief.

She wasn't surprised that Alex had taken a stand. What surprised her was that Alexsuddenly could speak.

Sophia was about to ask him about it, but Iris sternly interrupted, "Alex, shut up!

This is none of your business!

Iris didn't want this useless son-in-law to create more chaos.

"Alex, just stay quiet and mind your own business. Let they handle this. Stopmeddling," Sophia, Sophia's younger sister, waved her hand dismissively at Alex.

Alex ignored their words as if they were whispers in the wind and walked directly upto the woman. "l have a solution for the condition on your face. Trust me.

The woman's heart wavered when she looked into the sincere eyes of the man infront of her. After all, money was not an issue for her, her face was the real concern.

Sophia hurriedly pulled Alex back and spoke to him in a slightly commanding tone"Alex, don't interfere. l will handle my own affairs."

Sophia didn't appreciate Alex stepping forward because she knew his capabilities altoo well.

The commotion caught the attention of the onlookers, and they began whisperingamongst themselves.

"That guy is impressive. He actually managed to leech off the CEO, who's a womanof this cosmetics company. Tsk, tsk.

"Did he just say he can treat the woman's acne? Do you think he really can or is hebluffing?

"He's full of s**t. lf he had such abilities, would he resort to being a freeloader bymarrying into a wealthy family?

"Yeah, l think he's just putting on a front...

The discussions among the crowd made the woman even more impatient. "l don'tcare about your family matters. Now, you have two choices: restore my face to itsoriginal look, or compensate me with thirty million for emotional damage andscratch this woman's face!

The woman pointed at Sophia. "Otherwise, !'ll bankrupt your company, and you'll rotin prison!"
