Chapter 9 Do You Know Me?
Chris was speechless. Nobody believed the truth. He was so honest, but they didn't believe it.
At this moment, a man and a woman came in.
The man was tall and handsome.
The woman looked like a noble lady.
"Loretta and Alfred are here!"
Loretta Harker was Laurence's daughter and Esther's cousin.
Alfred Harker was Loretta's husband. He was the son of the Harker family.
The Harker family was also a second-class family, just like the Jeffersons. It was much more powerful
than the Collins family.
All the members of the Collins family stood up. Even Michael Collins put on a smiling face.
His attitude towards Alfred was so different from that towards Chris.
Laurence smiled at them, "Loretta! Alfred! Come over."
While he spoke, he pointed at Chris and said, "Let me introduce him. Chris Shelby, the famous son-in-
law of the Jefferson family. He said that he is some Master. Even the Commander of the East Coast
has to bow to him. You know a lot. Can you tell me what a Master is?"
Loretta laughed, "Dad, are you kidding me? Commander is a big shot in East Coast. I've even never
heard of some Master."
"Hey, Esther, my good cousin. You've waited for your man for five years, but it seems now, he's a
madman."
Esther felt ashamed. She didn't even want to stay here.
But Chris didn't take it seriously.
He didn't want to care what these ants said.
Alfred held an exquisite gift box. He gave it to Michael and said, "Grandpa, this is my gift for you. Hope
you'll like it."
After saying that, Alfred opened the box. There was a set of pure-gold prayer beads.
"This is..."
Michael opened his eyes wide as he saw the beads.
Loretta smiled happily, "Grandpa, Alfred spent one million dollars buying this for you."
The members of the Collins family all exclaimed in surprise.
One million dollars!
Michael laughed happily, "Alfred, I like this gift very much."
Alfred smiled, "I'm glad you like it."
Loretta turned to ask Chris, "Ergh, Master? What gift did you prepare for grandpa? Show it to us!"
Loretta came over and opened Chris's gift box. There was a set of jade beads.
"That must be fake. How dare you give Grandpa such trash?"
After saying that, Loretta threw the box into the trashcan.
Esther got angry as she saw this.
She and Chris spent so much time choosing the gift, but Loretta just threw it into the trashcan.
She felt sad and wanted to cry.
Alfred didn't care about them. He asked Michael, "Grandpa, do you know about the big shot coming to
East Coast today? The airport has been locked down this morning. I heard there were tens of
warplanes and three thousand soldiers."
"What?"
His words shocked everyone.
Michael asked curiously, "Who can that be?"
Alfred answered proudly, "He's the Primus of our country, Lord Death!"
After saying that, he looked around and smiled proudly.
"This may surprise you, but you know what? I've met him before, and I have his number!"
"Alfred, you are so great! You even know such a big shot!"
"That's the son-in-law of the Collins family, not like the useless tramp of the Jefferson family!" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The members of the Collins family looked at Alfred with admiration.
Susan and John also admired Alfred. What a good son-in-law!
Chris couldn't help laughing.
When did he meet such a nobody?
He didn't even remember him.
Alfred was just bragging, or he would recognize Chris since Chris was also here.
Chris asked Alfred, "Really? Since you know that person, do you know me?"
Alfred looked Chris up and down. He snorted, "Why should I know you? Loser?"
Chris laughed, "You don't even know me. How can you know that person?"
"What do you mean? Do you mean you are the Primus?" Alfred frowned and asked.
Chris nodded, "Exactly. I'm the Primus!"
"Ha ha ha!"
All the people burst into laughter.
"What a crazy man!"
"Primus? Do you know who he is? He's the king of the north, the commander of millions of soldiers,
and the protector of the country! And you? You are just a loser!"
"My cousin is so poor. She married such a fool!"
"Esther, please take your husband back. He's shaming us all!"
Michael looked at Susan and felt sick of her, "How could I have such a daughter? You married a loser,
and your son-in-law is a madman. You shamed the family!"
Susan and John lowered their heads and were very embarrassed.
Actually, they should be the ones who Chris shamed most!
Esther sat in the corner and kept quiet. Facing their laughter and mocks, she couldn't help sobbing.
She looked at Chris and felt disappointed.
She thought life could be better with Chris after he came back.
But in fact, he was just a man who liked bragging and bluffing.
Like a clown, he shamed her family.
Alfred sneered at Chris, "You are the Primus, huh? Good. Seven days later, the richest man in East
Coast, Mr. Mester, will hold a banquet to welcome Lord Death. If you are really him, I will see you at the
banquet, right?"
