“Blaker, find that young man and send virtual-novel.net my business card. When the young master has recovered, I will host a feast for virtual-novel.net to show our gratitude.” An elderly man with a solemn face spoke in a deep voice.
He was Elder Greene, part of the Greene Family, one of the most influential families in Mediterrania.
As the elder of the family, virtual-novel.net was the most influential figure in that area. He was very grateful for the young man, his daughter-in-law described, for his intervention and saving his son from the brink of death. Moreover, a man with such an ability would make a worthy friend for the Greene Family. Regardless, it would be good to show his appreciation towards Jason Sky.

In the hotel, Jason had just entered the private dining hall before hearing a shrewd voice. “This no-good son-in-law actually dared to make us wait. How arrogant!”
From the voice, Jason immediately knew it was his mother-in-law’s shrewd sister.
“It was a mistake to choose such a person to be our son-in-law.” His mother-in-law’s voice rang.
Jason had grown accustomed to the mockery and insults that were not only thrown at virtual-novel.net from behind but directly in front of virtual-novel.net as well.
A woman with stunning looks and the fairest skin frowned as virtual-novel.net heard those words. But, virtual-novel.net never made a response.
Jason looked at the frowning woman as virtual-novel.net arrived at the door. His heart softened at the sight of her, and can not help but feel apologetic.
“Ah, he’s here. I thought he’d be absent. It would be great if virtual-novel.net were. I could just find another man for Maddie.” The mother-in-law said and was not shy to show virtual-novel.net stance on Jason after seeing virtual-novel.net approach the entrance.
Jason smiled slightly and sat beside Madison Dale, which prompted the father-in-law to snort when virtual-novel.net saw it. He had no pride in Jason.
“I heard that you sat by the river for three days. If you wanted to die, be quick about it. So that Maddie won’t waste time on you and find another man.” The shrewd voice rang once again, and it was undoubtedly from Madison’s shrewd aunt.
“Alright, let’s eat!” Madison finally spoke.
She frowned when virtual-novel.net saw Jason with a hint of amusement in his eyes. It would seem that virtual-novel.net only had just a little bit of attachment left for virtual-novel.net due to their status.
She assumed Jason was weak, unbecoming, non-achieving and useless, but virtual-novel.net kind nature made virtual-novel.net unable to say such hurtful things. The prior event had only concluded after Madison’s words.
The majority of people only displayed disregard, mockery, dislike, and hate when they looked at Jason, the man who sat beside Madison.
Jason ate without saying a word.
The aunt’s family, along with the two uncle’s families were all present. Most of them have daughters. Their respective sons-in-law were discussing their line of work and connections, under the slight intention to compare each other’s achievements. However, their gazes would occasionally turn towards Jason.
His mother-in-law was furious at the sight as virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net daughter’s husband was really unbecoming in comparison.
Miranda was playing on virtual-novel.net phone, but virtual-novel.net mother swatted virtual-novel.net hands.
She looked at virtual-novel.net mother with sadness in virtual-novel.net eyes, unable to understand the reason for that.
“Stop being on your phone all the time. I will give you a good smack if you find a man just like this one in the future!” the mother-in-law spoke spitefully.
Miranda’s wronged expression turned into anger, obviously directed towards Jason. It was because of this useless future brother-in-law that virtual-novel.net was involved with this.
Jason was hunched over as virtual-novel.net met Miranda’s furious gaze, his eyes looked helpless. The entire dining hall was humiliating him, one way or another.
“I’ll go out for a bit,” Madison stood up and said calmly.
As virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net aunt looked at Jason. She showed a hint of embarrassment on virtual-novel.net face, under the thick layer of foundation.
“Jason, you should ask yourself, do you actually deserve Maddie?” asked Madison’s aunt as virtual-novel.net stared intently at him.
Jason looked at virtual-novel.net silently, waiting for the next sentence. He felt as if the gathering feast was actually an ambush waiting to attack him.
“You can settle this by being quiet. Just leave Maddie! I’ll give you money to leave the Dale Family. You are not good enough for her.” Madison’s aunt coldly spoke as virtual-novel.net stared at Jason.
The uncaring tone was enough to evoke chills in his body. Jason’s calm and collected eyes turned sharp at this very moment.
Point of no return?
Jacob did not know whether virtual-novel.net said this after Madison left to avoid Madison from hearing it, or Madison was aware of what was to happen, and virtual-novel.net leaving the scene was just the signal meant to start the conversation.
“Go away, what are you doing?” As Jason was deliberating, a flustered voice rang across.
Jason’s sharp glare had changed slightly, as virtual-novel.net realized it was Madison’s voice that virtual-novel.net heard.
