THE POOR SON-IN-LAW TURNED OUT TO BE A BILLIONAIRE

"Excuse me."Fernando hurried to the LT Hotel with a parcel in his hand. It was almost evening, and soon his wife would be coming home from work. He had to deliver this parcel quickly, then return home to prepare dinner so she wouldn't get angry when he came home late.Before long, Fernando arrived at the door of the presidential suite, as per the address on the note in his hand. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he had already pressed the doorbell hurriedly."Ding-dong..."The bell rang several times, and soon the door opened."Nice to meet you. You..."Fernando's words trailed off as his eyes caught sight of the figure standing at the door.His mind immediately went blank. The parcel in his hand fell to the floor with a soft sound that echoed in the hotel corridor. The person who opened the door was no one else, but his own wife, Joyce.And behind Joyce, stood a young man wearing only a bathrobe. His hair was still wet, as if he had just finished bathing.Fernando recognized

"Do you think I'm having an affair?"On the way home, Joyce asked expressionlessly. Her voice was calm, but cold, like the rain that had just stopped outside.Fernando, who was sitting behind the wheel, did not answer immediately. He stared straight at the road with gloomy eyes. His tone was flat when he finally said, "I had that thought when I opened the door earlier. But I quickly erased that thought. I know you're not that kind of person."Joyce turned her head, looking at her face in the street light. "Then why did you say something like that to me?"Fernando let out a long breath. "Because I felt... I didn't deserve you. I didn't want people to laugh at you just because of me. You're a good woman, Joyce. As for me, I'm just a loser."Joyce looked out the window, seeing the shadows of the streetlights dancing on the wet glass of the car. "Then, if you think so lowly of yourself, you should try to change it. Don't just give up. If you keep putting yourself down, I'll end up hating

After breakfast, Fernando went back to his room.Joyce had just come out of the bathroom. Seeing that Fernando looked like he wanted to say something, she asked quietly, "What's wrong?"Fernando nodded. "I have a classmate who works at the bank. He happened to come here on business yesterday. I want to meet him, maybe he can help us get a loan. So, I'll probably be home by noon. Could you please tell Mom that I didn't have time to prepare lunch?"He sighed softly. He knew that if he told his mother-in-law right away, the house would be noisy again."Okay," Joyce replied in a flat voice. She took out her cell phone and transferred two thousand dollars to Fernando's account."Here..." Fernando was silent. His face heated up slightly at the numbers on the screen.Joyce gave him a glance. "I don't mean to do you a favor, but you're a man, Fernando. Don't lose face when you leave the house. Oh yeah, don't tell Mom about the money I transferred." After saying that, Joyce turned and left.

"Hahahaha!" Mr. Zick laughed"What did he say? Didn't I hear wrong? He said... he wants to destroy my career?"Mr. Zick looked at Fernando with an incredulous expression before bursting into laughter. "What kind of joke is this? Trash like you want to ruin my job?"His laughter echoed throughout the room, until his body bent slightly from laughing too hard. A satisfied expression was clearly drawn on his face.The other employees joined in the laughter, making fun of Fernando without pity."He's just a failure! But how dare he act so arrogant!""Yeah, I heard that he had to hand over his entire salary to his wife's family and even took time off just to cook at home. He even has to endure his mother-in-law's nagging every day. His position at home is even lower than a pet dog.""Hahaha! That's right. Even being scolded is worth it. He's the slowest courier in the company, and his performance is the worst. But now he's angry about being fired?""And the funniest thing, he said he wanted

Lucas laughed out loud. "So this is just nonsense he made up to trick Joyce?"Miguel nodded confidently. "Definitely. I heard my dad say that someone once tried to forge this card to get a loan and ended up in jail. If Joyce uses that useless gold card to apply for a loan... I'm sure things will get interesting."Lucas laughed even harder, his face filled with satisfaction. "Haha! That's right. If Joyce gets caught, she'll hate Fernando to death. And then, you can appear as her savior! She'll definitely turn around and fall into your arms! What an amazing plan!"Miguel joined in the laughter. "Just keep an eye on developments. If there's any news, let me know immediately.""Okay!" Lucas replied enthusiastically.As soon as the phone was hung up, Lucas became impatient. He couldn't contain himself. He rushed home to share the news with his entire family.Soon after, the entire family gathered in the living room of the Nagel residence."What's going on, Lucas? Why do you look so happy?"
