The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 58

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Duncan began to boast about the chairman of ZQ Company. "Ahem!" Duncan sat up straight and coughed twice. He began to say, "The chairman of ZQ Company is tall and burly. He is handsome and imposing, with sharp eyebrows and extremely brilliant eyes. He is much more handsome than many male stars in the entertainment industry. If our chairman debuts as an idol, he must be a prince charming of all women in our country.”

When Phoebe heard this, her heart thumped. Thinking of the previous two encounters, she blushed involuntarily, revealing a shy expression.

So the chairman is that handsome?

Duncan found out her infatuation and teased her, "Phoebe, are you interested in the chairman? Huh."

Phoebe immediately blushed with embarrassment and said hurriedly, "I'm not!"

How couldn't they realize that Phoebe was obviously infatuated with the chairman of ZQ Company? This was reasonable. Phoebe was only in her twenties, the most beautiful time for a woman. However, she married such a useless man as Tom. It was no wonder that Phoebe would be tempted when she heard that the chairman of ZQ Company was so outstanding, rich, and handsome. Thinking of this, they all looked at Tom gloatingly, only to find that Tom did not show any anger at all. Instead, he laughed out. They all felt that Tom was a loser without a future. He didn't have any dignity as a man. He did not know shame even when his wife was interested in another men in front of him,

Of course, Tom would not be angry. He was the chairman of ZQ Company, so Phoebe just liked another identity of him. There was nothing to be angry about.

Duncan said, "Phoebe, I advise you to give up on this idea. The chairman of ZQ Company is a successful man with a fortune of tens of billions dollars, let alone he is so handsome. If he had any intention for a relationship, numerous women would surround him and try to win his heart. How can it be your turn? Besides, it's not good for you to think about another man since you are married, right?”

Phoebe was embarrassed by his words. she wanted to say something, but a wave of sadness swept over her when she saw Tom smiling beside her. Yes, she was already married. How could the chairman of ZQ Company like her? She'd better not dream!

Next, Duncan continued to brag about how promising he was in the ZQ Media and how the leaders praised him. He would soon get a promotion and salary increase, reaching the peak of his life. Elizabeth was particularly envious. She asked Duncan if he could arrange for Logan to join the ZQ Media, even in a grass-roots position.

Logan, Elizabeth's favorite child, was about to graduate from college. She had always wanted Logan to stand out.

Duncan was addicted to bragging and agreed without hesitation. He said there was no problem, but he still implied that it would cost some money to arrange for Logan to join the ZQ Company.

Tom couldn't stand it any longer and sent Elliot a message. He did not directly state but warned Elliot that there should be no nepotism in the company. Once he found out there was someone who gets into the company by offering bribes, he would severely punish all the people involved!

When Elliot saw this message, he was shocked immediately. He quickly informed the whole company to strictly check the nepotism and resolutely put an end to it.

Just then, Duncan's leader received instruction from the higher-ups, which scared the life out of him. He remembered that he had just recruited a mediocre person not long ago. If this was discovered, he might lose his position. So he called Duncan in a hurry.

"Duncan, I'll entrust the task to you. When Logan graduates, you can arrange for him to enter ZQ Company. Thank you. I'll treat you later." Elizabeth said.

Duncan waved his hand and said in a casual tone, "Don't worry, auntie. It's just a piece of cake for me to arrange Logan in. But let me put it bluntly in advance. ZQ is a listed company with strict rules and regulations. If Logan doesn't work hard, he will be kicked out easily. I won't intercede for him then.”

Elizabeth nodded hard and said, "I know that. I promise I won't make it difficult for you.”

Duncan nodded with satisfaction and coughed twice, signaling Tom to pour him tea. Just as he was about to curse because Tom did not answer him, his phone rang. He took it out and saw the caller ID. He immediately smiled and said, "Huh, my leader called me. He must be promoting me."

As he spoke, he turned on the hands-free mode to let everyone hear the conversation.

"Hey, director, what a coincidence. I was just about to call you..." Duncan spoke first and smiled happily. He also raised his eyebrows at Tom, showing off without any disguise.

A middle-aged man’s voice came over the phone, "Is it convenient for you to talk now? I have something important to tell you.”

When Duncan heard this, he was shocked and excited. His voice began to tremble slightly and uncontrollably. "Convenient, convenient, completely convenient! Director, if you have any instructions, just say it. I'm listening!"

Some time ago, the director had hinted at him that he would be promoted to be a manager. Duncan had been waiting for that. He thought the 200,000 dollars he had offered to the director finally paid off!

And this phone call happened to come so coincidentally when he came over to his aunt's house. Then he could brag about his promotion with the call!

Elizabeth and the others held their breath and listened with their ears raised. Wilson and Sammy, the parents of Duncan, could not hide the smiles on their faces. They were especially proud.

Soon, the director's heavy voice came from the phone, "Duncan, the company has been very strict with recruitment recently. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay with a high school diploma. As for the 200,000 dollars you gave me, I'll transfer it to you later. You won't be working in the company tomorrow.”

Silence.

The hands-free mode was still on. The director's words clearly reached everyone's ears. Except for Tom, everyone had a confused expression, especially Duncan. He was completely stunned. How could this happen?

Only Tom nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Elliot did well in the execution of his duty. Not long after he gave the order, the company began to act. Good.

Duncan came back to his senses and panicked. He said hurriedly, "Director, are you kidding me? I'm already on the job. How can I be fired?! Didn't you promise me that I could work in ZQ until I retired?"

Duncan was very excited. He couldn't be calm. Just now, he was bragging about himself. In the blink of an eye, the director called to tell him that he had been fired. What a disgrace for him!

The director said, "This is what the higher-ups said. I have no choice but to strictly check the nepotism and prevent people like you from entering the ZQ Company.”

"But you promised me..."

The director rudely interrupted him, "What did I promise you? Duncan, I'm warning you. Be careful with what you say. If you betray me, I'll make it hard for you! Besides, didn't you know what are you capable of, did you? Do you think that you can come into ZQ with your own ability? Well, I don't have time to talk with you. That's it. I'll transfer the money to you right away. You can come back and pack up later.”

After saying that, the director hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Duncan wanted to cry but had no tears as if bereaved of parents.

His parents’ faces were also twisted.
