Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 253

That same night, Alex returned to Nebula City. The first thing he did was to deliver the alligator meat to Flynn and the others.

At the same time, he got Flynn to buy him an alchemy pot before heading home.

A short while after he returned, a knock on the door was heard,

However, Mrs. Jennings was watching TV in the hall so he didn’t get to the door.

“Who are you looking for?” Carmen asked curiously when she opened the door and saw Stefan, Autumn, and Desmond.

As the three of them looked like influential people, Carmen didn’t dare to be rude.

“Hello, I am Stefan Jones. May I know if Alex is home?” Stefan smiled politely.

“Are you the head of the Jones family, Stefan Jones?” Carmen looked at Stefan in shock. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The Jones family was famous in Nebula City as antique collectors. Everyone from the antique circle knew who they were. So, what do they want from that piece of trash?

“Yes, that’s me.” Stefan maintained his smile.

“Ah! So you are really the head of the Jones family. Please come in.” Carmen quickly welcomed them in.

Inside the house, Stefan and Desmond scrutinized the living room’s decoration. After that, they had an even lower opinion of Alex.

Meanwhile, it was especially tough for Desmond to accept that he had to apologize to a live–in son–in– law. The thought of it made his blood boil.

“Mrs. Jennings, may I know where is Alex?” Autumn asked.

Just when Carmen was about to shout for him, Alex came out from his room.

“Mr. Jefferson,” Autumn quickly greeted.

“Mmm.” Alex nodded as he looked towards Stefan and Desmond.

“This is my father,” Autumn introduced. As for Desmond, she didn’t need to do any introduction as Alex already knew who he was.

As Alex was looking at him, Stefan smiled. “Mr. Jefferson, recently, the Jones family have been having a lot of problems. So, we would like you to conduct a purification ceremony at our home.”

“I’m not free. Please look for someone else,” Alex replied plainly.

As Autumn knew that Alex was still angry at Desmond, she shot a glance at him.

Despite being extremely reluctant, Desmond frowned and stepped forward. “Mr. Jefferson, I’m sorry. I was being impulsive that day,”

When Alex saw that Desmond’s apology didn’t even contain an ounce of sincerity, he sneered, “Who are you? I don’t know you. Please leave my home or else don’t blame me for chasing you out.

Desmond was so arrogant that he crossed the line the other day. Therefore, Alex was in no mood to tolerate his presence.

As his expression darkened, Desmond said in a grim voice, “Aren’t you just a live–in son–in–law? Why are you being so arrogant? Uncle, please believe me. This man is a fraud, for he’s not a geomancer at all.”

He looked at Stefan as he spoke. As long as Stefan stood on his side, he wasn’t afraid of Alex.

“You think I’m a fraud?”

Alex smiled as he took a quick look at the point between Desmond’s eyes. All he saw was an Aura Cloud condensed with evil. He sneered, “Last night, you must have seen a ghost, am I right? In fact, it’s a female ghost.”

Autumn and Stefan turned towards Desmond.

“H–h–how did you know?” Desmond cried out in shock and he looked like he had just seen a ghost.

He couldn’t believe that Alex knew about the matter as he had never told anyone about it, including his parents.

How did Alex know?

At that moment, Desmond’s eyes were filled with horror.
