The Rich and Furious Son-in-law

The person who came was none other than Allan Moore.
When Allan came in front of Lumi and Ryan, he did not even bother to hide his coveting for Lumi. As he was speaking, he grabbed her hand and was about to kiss the back of her hand.
‘What the hell?’ Ryan was furious in an instant.
Allan did not show the slightest respect for him.
Allan had occasionally harassed Lumi before. He did not go overboard, but Ryan had already been unhappy about it. Now that Allan was taking advantage of Lumi in front of so many relatives, Ryan could not bear it anymore.
He reached to grab and pull Lumi’s hand back, then gave Allan a backhand slap in the face. “What the heck does my wife’s beauty have to do with you?”
Smack!
The crisp sound of the slap was loud in the living room.
Grandma, Raymond, second and third uncles, and others were all stunned.
Allan put his hand on the face and looked at Ryan in shock. “How dare you hit me, you loser? It is your honor for me to kiss your wife!”
While speaking, Allan raised his hand, wanting to return the favor.
But just as Allan moved his hand, Ryan grabbed his hand and dislocated his wrist with a twist.
“Aah!” Allan screamed in pain, his face pale. With Ryan still clutching his wrist, his body was twisted obliquely, like a rope.
‘Still dare to be impudent in front of me?’
Ryan had grinned and bore it before this because his family had not lifted the ban. Moreover, he did not want to be too high profile. But now, he decided not to stay quiet.
“Stop it, Ryan! What are you doing?” Grandma stood up from the chair and shouted. “Allan is here today to join my birthday banquet. He is my guest. How could you treat him like this? Have you no respect for me?”
Did Grandma’s attempt to stop Ryan from doing what he was doing work?
Of course not.
Ryan would not get intimidated easily.
Impossible.
Yet, Ryan let go of Allan for the sake of Grandpa and Lumi. “You had better mind your own business, Mr. Moore. Otherwise, you will not be so lucky next time.”
Before letting off Allan’s hand, he quietly twisted it to reset the dislocated wrist. Allan once again trembled from the sudden pain.
Lumi sat beside Ryan. Tenderness filled her eyes as she glanced over at him.
Ryan was vastly different from before.
He had once been a yes-man who did not even dare to speak loudly. But he had become domineering, a real man full of masculinity.
That feeling made her heart flutter.
After Allan got free from Ryan, he came quickly to Grandma, Raymond and the others and then glared at Ryan. “How dare you be so arrogant, you loser! Let me tell you, I am here today for Grandma’s birthday party. It is the Mears family that invites me. I am going to make you kneel in front of me to beg for mercy!”
Begging him?
Ryan was struck dumb. Before he could say anything, Anthony spoke, “Allan, don’t be angry. Let’s talk like a gentleman.”
Allan moved his wrist that had just been reset. “How’s the thing going?”
Raymond, Anthony, and the others froze as soon as Allan’s voice trailed off. “Forget about it, Allan. We have failed. So we need your cooperation later.” Raymond looked frustrated as he explained to Allan.
Of course, Raymond did not go into the details. He just mentioned that Ryan had threatened him underhandedly and forced him to give up the president’s post.
Allan shot a disdainful glance at Ryan before he looked at Grandma. “Why do you still keep that idiot here, Grandma? If I may say so, they should divorce, and let Lumi be my woman. I swear I will love her with all my heart.”
Grandma let out a smile. “Don’t worry, Allan. Let’s take this matter one step at a time.”
She exchanged a look with Lilian sitting next to her at the table, and Lilian spoke. “We have no problem with you continuing to serve as the company’s president, Lumi. But there is something that I think you need to clarify.
“As far as I know, the company is running out of cash with a thirty-million-dollar shortfall. If it cannot raise fund within the next three days, the company will go bankrupt. How are you going to solve this problem?”
Lumi glanced at Ryan. He had helped solve the company’s financial problems last night. It was just that she had put a lid on the matters.
“Aunt and uncles, don’t worry about the funding problem. I will solve it. Since you all trust me, I promise that the company will recover and make money in no time.” Lumi was taking this opportunity to fire a salvo, albeit subtly.
Raymond and Anthony flushed with anger. ‘Trust you? Trust my foot!’
If it weren’t for Ryan having something on Raymond, they wouldn’t have backed out.
Lumi’s second uncle and Raymond dared not say anything. Raymond quietly stuffed something into the hand of Lumi’s third uncle Jonathan, who then threw that thing on the table with a snap. “You will think of a way, Lumi? Hmph! Is this how you will go about it by drinking and sucking up to those goats? How shameless!”
Spreading out on the table was a stack of photos of Lumi entertaining Lionel Ball and others at the bar. Those ogling eyes were clearly visible.
Lumi and Ryan’s expressions changed upon seeing those photos.
“Are you all following me?” Lumi chided in anger, her eyes landing on Raymond at last.
The second and third uncles were both very old and unlikely to be the persons behind this. Most likely, it was Raymond.
Raymond was quietly hiding behind his second uncle.
How dare he utter anything when Ryan was here?
“So what if we investigated you? You have got to remember that you are the eldest granddaughter of the Mears family. What you did has brought shame to the family. Is that how you raise funds?” Her third uncle said in such a way as though he was earnest in his exhortation.
Sitting next to him, Allan took a photo, perversely kissed it, and then let out a lewd smile at Lumi. “It is just for an investment. Why did you go to those old men rather than looking for me? Just tell me how much you want, I can transfer the money right away.”
Anthony immediately chimed in as soon as Allan finished his sentence. “Really? It is so kind of you, Mr. Moore. Thirty million dollars will be enough for Mears Corporation to get through the difficulties.”
Allan nodded, took out a check, filled in a bunch of numbers, and then waved the check twice in his hand. “A thirty-million-dollar check is here, Lumi. I have booked a hotel room. This check is yours. What say you? Think about it.”
He had a smug look on his face, not noticing how much Ryan’s face had darkened.
“You are despicable, shameless, Allan Moore!” Lumi scolded with anger. Lilian, her aunt, came over and stopped her. “Cut it out, Lumi. We are talking about thirty-million dollars here. Go spend a night with Allan so the company can get through this tough time.”
