Chapter 11 Whose Card?
"Look! My good son-in-law is really something now. Even Mr. Mester came here in person to send the
invitation."
"He certainly wouldn't just get an ordinary invitation and got in like seventh heaven as someone did!"
It was really hard to have such an opportunity to show off. Susan definitely wouldn't miss it.
All the members of the Collins family lowered their heads and didn't dare to talk back.
"Ha!"
However, Loretta couldn't stand this. She suddenly snorted.
"Aunt, you know what? This pure-gold invitation is certainly not for Chris."
Susan frowned and asked unhappily, "Loretta, what do you mean? Everyone saw that Mr. Mester gave
it to my son-in-law, Chris Shelby. Are you blind?"
Loretta sneered, "I don't want to hurt you, but your son-in-law, Chris, is just a loser."
"Besides, I heard that he used to be a beggar before he married Esther. Do you think Mr. Mester would
send an invitation in person to a beggar?"
"He must have made a mistake. The invitation is not for Chris!"
"What?"
Susan also didn't know how to refute Loretta. Loretta's words did make sense.
Loretta laughed, as Susan kept quiet, "Ha. You can't deny it, huh? You also think so, and you have no
words to explain it."
"So, that's the truth. Mr. Mester has made a mistake."
"I was scared. I don't think Mr. Mester would send the invitation in person to a loser."
"Will Chris be kicked out if he takes the card to the banquet?"
"He will! Mr. Mester will find that he has made a mistake because he even doesn't know this guy."
"Ha..."
The members of the Collins family felt smug again.
"Nonsense! Mr. Mester wouldn't make a mistake!"
Hearing their laughter, Esther finally couldn't endure this.
Though Chris didn't explain it to her, she believed that her husband was a good man.
She trusted her husband!
Loretta came over and mocked, "Esther, you have to know the truth. Your husband is always a loser.
He can't compare with Alfred at all."
"And you are always a nobody. You can never become a noble lady."
"You..."
Esther stared at Loretta and was too angry to even speak.
"Don't you believe it? Let me show you how hopeless you will be."
Loretta snorted and then went to Chris. She asked coldly, "Chris, do you think this card is for you?"
Chris answered calmly, "Of course, it is."
"Aha!"
Loretta burst into laughter as she heard this.
"What a shameless man! Why do you think Mr. Mester would send a card in person to you?"
Chris squinted and asked, "Not for me? Is that for you?"
"Exactly. This invitation is for my husband, Alfred!" Loretta said loudly.
What?
It was for Alfred?
Nobody could understand her words.
Alfred was also stunned as he heard this.
Mr. Mester sent an invitation to him?
He knew well who he was.
He was just a nobody, who Mr. Mester wouldn't even pay attention to.
He was even not qualified to talk to Mr. Mester.
The people didn't believe it. Loretta smiled and explained, "Perhaps you don't know it yet. The Harker
family has started a project in the industrial area. Soon, the Harkey family will become one of the first-
class families on the East Coast!"
"Therefore, this invitation is just for Alfred."
"But he made a mistake, so he gave it to Chris."
Her explanation sounded reasonable.
"Wow, the invitation is really for Alfred."
"It's so surprising. The Harker family won the project in the industrial area. It will become a first-class
family."
"Alfred, don't forget about us in the future."
"Alfred, you must help us in the future."
The members of the Collins family began to flatter Alfred.
Their flattery made Alfred smugger.
Michael looked at Alfred and asked in shock, "Alfred, did Mr. Mester really want to send the card to
you?"
Alfred nodded and pretended to be humble, "Yes, grandpa. This is for me. I wanted to keep a low
profile, but Mr. Mester didn't want it!"
"Great! Is the Harker family going to be one of the first-class families?" Laurence asked excitedly.
Alfred looked at Laurence and smiled, "Yes, Dad. Loretta said the truth. The Harker family is going to
be one of the first-class families."
"Congratulations. Alfred, I'm glad to have such a good son-in-law."
"The Collins family will also get benefits when the Harker family becomes a first-class family."
"Not like someone who brings nothing but shames to us."
The members of the Collins family discussed excitedly. Their attitude towards Chris became bad again.
Michael said happily, "Great! Alfred, you should help the Collins family."
Laurence smiled, "He's my son-in-law, so he will definitely help us. He is not at all like those who know
nothing but bragging."
When he said this, Laurence glanced at Susan and her family with disdain.
Susan and John kept silent with sullen faces. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Loretta smiled at Esther, "Sorry, Esther. My husband is always so capable. Even Mr. Mester has to
respect him."
"Let us know if you need our help. After all, we are family. Though you are poor like beggars, we'll help
you."
Esther got even angrier as she heard this.
Loretta was obviously humiliating her.
But Esther couldn't say anything. After all, it was Mr. Mester's pure-gold invitation!
Even the Jefferson family was not qualified to get that card.
Alfred smiled and pretended to be humble, "It's just an invitation, not something surprising."
Michael laughed, "Alfred, I should make a toast for you."
Alfred drank it and became smugger and smugger.
Chris suddenly asked, "Alfred Harker, are you sure that it is for you? How shameless you are!"
