(The secret billionaire son in-law)

Chapter 7

Looking at her parents ridiculing Xavier, Hazel sighed and said, "Dad, Mom, don't blame Xavier for this. It was my idea, I just don't want our family to be looked down on anymore. haven't we suffered enough all these years?"

Hazel's mother blurted , " But still, you can't take on such a task. It's not just you-even if your grandma goes in person they wouldn't entertain her!"

Xavier manage a bitter smile as he watched the bickering. He bet that his snobbish in-laws would never believe that he was the real owner of Emgrand Group.

At this exact moment, there was a knock on the door.

"I'm coming..."

Elaine heaved a distressing sigh as she walked to the door and opened it.

Xavier shifted his gaze to the door and saw a young man donning an Armani suit standing at the door. The man looked very charming and alluring with a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which seemed to be worth at least four million dollars.

Elaine shrieked excitedly, "Hey Wendell why are you here?"

The man was Wendell Jones, the young man of the Jones family who had been pursuing Hazel relentlessly.

Wendell donne a smile and said, "Auntie, I heard about Hazel's negotiation with the Emgrand Group, so I'm here to give her some ideas."

"Wow, you really are our family's life savior!"

Elaine was very excited and thrilled, and she looked at him like was looking adoringly at her son-in-law. She quickly welcome him into the house and said," Wendell, could you help Hazel to win Emgrand Group's contract?"

Wendell nodded with a polite smile. He ignored Xavier entirely, treating him like a lowly ant. He walked straight to Hazel and said gently, "Hazel, why didn't you tell me anything about this? This is huge.

Anyway, don't worry, my family has some connections with Emgrand Group. I'll speak to my father, let's see how we can help you with this."

Frankly, Wendell's father wasn't as influential as he claimed to be, but he was simply trying to win Hazel's heart by saying so.

Hazel knew that Wendell had feelings for her all along, so she said indifferently," Wendell, I appreciate your kind offer, but no thanks, I'll find a way myself."

Elaine gape in bewilderment and chided, "Hazel, are you crazy? Mr. Jones is kind and generous enough to pay you a visit and help you, how could you say such things?"

Hazel remained quite, but Xavier asked Wendell intriguingly, "Mr. Jones, I'm curious, how can you help Hazel? Emgrand Group is so big and I don't think you're much of an influence to them, right? And now you claim that you have a way to help Hazel win the contract?"

Wendell sneered contemptuously and said, "What do you know? The Jones family and Emgrand Group have always been cooperating partners for years. This time, our family can get at least one-third of their two billion dollar project! Until then, I'll ask my father to allocate ten million dollars as a subcontract to Hazel-mission accomplished, isn't it?"

Xavier gaped in surprise, "Wow! I didn't know that the Jones family was such an intimate relationship with Emgrand Group!"

Wendell sneered. "of course! Everyone in Aurous Hill knows about that!"

He then glared at Xavier disdainfully and uttered, "Xavier Wade, let me offer you a piece of advice. A frog in the well like you had better leave Hazel now. A hopeless man like you can't bring her happiness, you'll only be her burden."

Hazel said coldly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jones, I don't need your help and please watch your mouth!"

Dumfounded, Wendell said in disbelief,

"Hazel, I'm helping you, why are you still taking this loser's side? Why are you so protective of him?"

Hazel said in a serious tone, "He's not a loser, he's my husband!"

Elaine went after Wendell hurriedly, but he was long gone. She slapped her thighs indignantly, pointed at Xavier's nose , and screamed, "You! How dare you! What else can you do besides being Hazel's burden?Mr.Jones had kind- heartedly lent a hand but you chased him away!"

Xavier said flatly, "Mom, he's all talk .He can't even win a contract with Emgrand how can he help Hazel?"

"Bullshit!" Elaine scolded, "What do you know, you ignorant fool! The Jones family can get One-third of the two billion dollar contract!"

Xavier was inexpressive but deep in his heart, he was grinning as he thought, I don't know how powerful the Jones family is, but I know that my Emgrand Group will never have any connection with them anymore! Even if they did work together on many projects previously, from now on all of this will be terminated!

Of course, Hazel couldn't read her husband's mind. she turned to her mother and said, "Mom, don't blame Xavier. Just wait until I return from Emgrand Group!"

"Huh! "Elaine sighed in great dismay, feeling that God was unfair to her. she had married a useless husband, while her daughter had married an even more useless man!

What had she done to end up like this!
