Semua Bab The Supreme Son-in-Law: Bab 271 - Bab 280

They were right about one thing: Elio was their son-in-law, and if he couldn't pay up, it was up to Evelyn to shoulder the burden.Evelyn bit her lip, knowing all too well that Grandpa had made up his mind about the money. Talking more would not change a thing. Luckily, Elio had given her $1,000,000 earlier, and today she got another $750,000 from Aerin Group. She could pay part of it back without hurting the company's cash flow.She sighed and said, "Alright, I'll pay back $750,000 now. That's okay, isn't it?"Grandpa huffed, "Fine, but you have one month to pay the rest of the $750,000. No mistakes."The other relatives piped up, "Right, nobody's money just blows in with the wind. She needs to pay it all back and fast.""We've got a big project coming up at Jones Real Estate. We need the money ready. A month's grace is more than fair."Evelyn shook with anger. She saw them for what they were—no family, just cold interest. She promised through clenched teeth, "One month, then. I

"Awesome! I'll head over now. Thanks for the chance, Elio. I'll switch up my style for you. Just send me where to meet," Yvonne bubbled with excitement as if she could hardly wait.Elio's spirits lifted instantly. He texted her the location and waited, thinking how great it was to have a friend like Yvonne. She could always make him smile, which was a welcome change from the gloom of dealing with the Jones family.After over twenty minutes, a bright red Ferrari roared up and came to a sudden stop with a screech. The tires screamed against the pavement, showing off a bit too much.Elio's eyes went wide when Yvonne stepped out of the car. She was dressed in a school uniform, with a white short-sleeved shirt tucked into a navy-blue skirt, knee-high socks, and sneakers. A bit of her white thigh showed, and it was hard not to stare.Her face was softly made up, and her wavy, chestnut hair fell over her shoulders. Dressed like that, she looked years younger, almost like the most popular

Yvonne was already fed up with Sienna's behavior. She looked as cold as ice. She had finally gotten Elio to go out with her for a fun night, but Sienna had to ruin it. No wonder Yvonne was so upset."You're asking for trouble, aren't you? Why do you care if we're just out for dinner? Keep it up, and you'll wish you hadn't," Yvonne snapped.Sienna was even angrier, her eyes blazing, "Who are you calling names? You're just as bad as Elio. Think I won't slap you?"Yvonne just laughed calmly. "Go ahead, try to touch me," she dared.Elio did not want any trouble because he was important. He suggested, "Let's just drop it. She's not worth it. Let's go."However, Sienna was not having it. She turned to Maxwell and whined, "Maxwell, she's picking on me. Won't you do something?"Maxwell had never liked Elio. He was jealous because his girl was not as pretty as he thought, especially compared to Yvonne. He wanted to show Elio who's boss and win over the pretty girl.Even if Sienna had not

"Crash!"Their fists smashed together, and the strong young man let out a scream. His face went white as a sheet, and he stumbled back, his hands shaking. "Ah, my fingers are broken!"They were—except for his thumb, all his fingers had snapped, and the pain was unbearable."Whoa!"Everyone gasped, looking at Elio with new respect. That guy was fierce—one punch and he had broken the other guy's fingers. Scary!Elio did not hold back. If the guy was going to show off and try to take him on, he had better be ready to face the consequences. Do not think he was a pushover!Maxwell was caught off guard and cursed, "Darn it. All of you, get him! Break his legs."On his command, five more bullies rushed Elio, swinging and kicking like a pack of wild dogs.Elio sprang into action, his leg whipping out as quick as lightning, Thump, thump, thump! His kicks were so fast they were almost a blur.Screams echoed as, one by one, the bullies were kicked to the ground. Some clutched their

The knife flew with a speed that could snatch souls, catching anyone off guard.However, Elio was always ready. As a top Martial King, he could sense danger and keep himself safe.When Maxwell threw the knife, Elio's eyes focused sharply, and he saw the seven-inch blade glinting in the light, sending shivers down his spine.Despite the danger, Elio did not flinch or freak out. He reached out and caught the flying knife with a flick of his wrist. The knife spun in his hand and zipped back the way it came.Everyone watching was amazed!They had all thought Elio was a goner, expecting to see blood everywhere. Some girls were so scared they shut their eyes, not wanting to see. However, like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, Elio caught the knife and tossed it back.Maxwell, just as shocked, tried to dodge. He almost made it, but not quite. The knife got him in the shoulder, his shirt turning red with blood, and he let out a loud yelp."Oh my gosh!" People gasped all around,
