Son-in-law From Rags to Riches

Chapter 48

Chapter 48 The Urge to kneel!

Ralph, who was sitting on the ground, shivered at Joshua’s words.

He raised his head and looked at Joshua with complicated eyes.

Ralph thought about how high-spirited he was when he entered the door ten minutes ago, yet now he had become a total failure.

Ralph screamed in his heart, why did this happen?

Why did this happen to me?

At that time, Reuben, who was stuck to the wall, shouted with a ferocious expression, “Dad! Don’t be fooled by him. It must be a coincidence! Joshua is just the matrilocal son-in-law of the Windsor family. In no way is he capable of that!”

Humans were always reluctant to change. Reuben didn’t want to believe Joshua did all that.

Reuben’s hatred for Joshua played a vital role!

Reuben’s words made Ralph come to his senses.

Ralph gritted his teeth, stood up, glared at Joshua, and yelled, “Fuck you! Fuck the beginning! I’m in a bad mood right now! How dare you make a fool of me?”

Joshua said seriously, “I spoke the truth. You are making a fool of yourself!”

Ralph said in a low and angered voice, Brat, I may run into some difficulty, but I can still easily deal with you! The Morton family has indeed lost its important partners and backers, but we still have the strength to make you pay the price!

“I don’t care where you got this information in advance so you can flaunt it in front of me, but you need to understand that you have crossed the line!”

“So what?”

Joshua shrugged, not taking Ralph’s words seriously.

Ralph turned to Gideon and said, “Gideon, help me kill this kid!”

“…”

Gideon was a little hesitant.

Although Gideon wasn’t sure that Joshua was behind all that, he was always cautious and dared not to act rashly.

Moreover…

Before this, Gideon was only on the same side as Ralph because the Morton family was powerful in New York.

Gideon planned to make use of this opportunity to cooperate with the Morton family.

But just now, the Morton family suffered a heavy blow in business. The family’s influence was greatly damaged.

This meant the Morton family was no longer useful for Gideon.

Ralph was smart.

Seeing Gideon hesitate, Ralph knew what Gideon was thinking about.

After scolding Gideon’s cunning character in his heart, Ralph changed his tactic and asked again, “Gideon! Your help will be appreciated and rewarded. Kill Joshua and I’ll share the wealth of the Morton family. Half the wealth, what do you think?”

After Ralph said this, everyone present was shocked.

Gideon’s heart beat much faster!

Although the Morton family had just suffered a setback, the Morton family was still vastly rich!

Without those business partners and backers, the assets of the Morton family would shrink, but at least 100 million dollars would remain.

If Ralph gave him half, Gideon would get 50 million dollars!

That was lots of money, even in New York.

Gideon was an important figure in New York, holding a high status.

But Gideon’s main income came from his shady business.

After so many years, Gideon only saved a little more than 50 million dollars!

Ralph offered to double Gideon’s assets.

That was attractive!

However, when Gideon caught a glimpse of Joshua, who was calm and composed, he had a bad feeling.

He thought, what if Joshua is indeed behind all that…

However, just as he thought of this, Ralph made him a new offer. “Gideon, you may not know this, but the Morton family bought a piece of land on the south side of the city at the beginning of the year and spent 16 million! How about I give this land to you as well?”

A piece of land worth 16 million!

With proper investment, the value of the land would increase by a lot!

Gideon couldn’t say no to that offer.

Gideon grinned, revealing a mouthful of unclean teeth. “Ralph, whatever you want! We are old friends!

“It’s so nice of you to offer. I’ll help you!

*Joshua is just the matrilocal son-in-law of the Windsor family!”

Hearing this, Ralph patted Gideon and smiled, “Thank you, Gideon!”

Although Ralph said that, he hated Gideon for taking advantage of his misfortune!

But right now, Ralph only wanted to kill Joshua!

Other things weren’t important!

The Morton family must vent its anger.

Gideon took a step forward and took out his gun.

His gun was customized by a weapon expert.

When Rex saw Gideon take out his gun, Rex frowned and walked to Joshua cautiously.

Rex had been in the underworld for years and thus knew Gideon well.

Gideon liked weapons, especially guns. It was said that his gun was extremely expensive.

It was a treasure for Gideon!

Gideon only took out his gun when he was ready to kill.

At that moment, Gideon took out his gun, indicating that he wanted to kill Joshua!

Gideon’s intentions were obvious!

Gideon’s eyes flashed with bloodthirsty desire. He said to Rex fiercely, “Rex! You have seen the situation. I’ll kill Joshua tonight no matter what! If you insist on helping him, you will be my enemy!

“And don’t forget, all my men are here.

“So, if you fight, you’ll lose!”

Gideon threatened Rex. Rex felt a strong pressure even though he had experienced a lot!

After being in the underworld of New York for so many years, this was the first time Rex faced a conflict of such scale!

However, Rex scratched his bald head and smiled, revealing his white teeth. “We’ll only know the result after we fight!

“That’s a dumb move!”

Gideon spat to the ground.

Then Gideon stopped talking and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to start a war. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Just as the war was about to begin…

A deep voice sounded outside the room. “It’s so late! Why aren’t you sleeping at home? Why are you all here?”

The crowd that blocked the corridor outside the room made way for the man who was speaking.

Ralph and Gideon turned to look at the man.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was of medium build and had an ordinary appearance. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looked approachable.

But he was much more complicated than he looked.

Ralph and Gideon couldn’t help but tremble, and they had an urge to kneel!

+ vou here?” “Mr. Helin, what brought you here?”

I

The man was the general manager of Maple Group, the only son of Alfred Helin, the richest man in New York City!

His name was Colten Helin!
