Chapter 27 Just Because He’s, My Michael!
"Hahaha!"
Evelyn, Jonathan Cooper, and Joshua couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Mom, Michael is not as bad as you make him out to be." Charlotte whispered, while signaling Sophia with her eyes to stop talking and embarrassing her and Michael.
Instead of keeping quiet, Sophia's anger grew, "Evelyn is unmarried and her boyfriend just gave her a car worth hundreds of thousands, but you've been married for three years, what has this waste of space given you?"
She was furious!
Why were other people's sons-in-law so outstanding and wealthy, while their daughter's was just a worthless loser?
At this moment, Joshua gloated, "Aunt, Michael has given Charlotte something too. I saw it with my own eyes last night. He gave her a high-quality replica Chanel watch worth several hundred yuan!"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he said that Evelyn and Jonathan Cooper burst into laughter.
Sophia immediately pointed at Michael and scolded, "You useless waste, do you only know how to disgust Charlotte? Does she deserve nothing but fake goods?"
Michael hurriedly explained, "Mom, it's not a fake, it's an authentic one worth several million, not several hundred yuan."
"Haha!"
Another burst of laughter filled the room.
"Hundreds of thousands? Why not say billions?" Sophia retorted sharply, not believing that Michael could afford a watch worth only a few million.
"Exactly," Emily sneered, "With your poverty, you couldn't even sell yourself for a few million."
"Mom, Emily, you two..." Charlotte was about to lose her mind. Family matters should be kept within the family, so why do they always talk about them in front of others?
At that moment, Michael's phone suddenly rang.
It was an unknown number.
"Who's this?" Michael asked.
"Michael, it's me, David Butler. When I heard you say that your sister-in-law likes Palamela, I just bought a top-of-the-line model. Where does your sister-in-law live? I'll deliver it to her right away," said David Butler.
Michael was taken aback. This David Butler seemed to be quite capable. He replied, "Then bring it to the Marriott Hotel. I'm right outside the entrance."
"Alright, Michael. I'm close to the Marriott. I'll bring it to you right away!"
"Why would it be delivered here?" Charlotte couldn't help but ask when she saw Michael put away his phone. Now is the time for everyone to target Michael. If it's not something good, she doesn't want it to be delivered here, so as to avoid another wave of people gathering.
Before Michael could respond, Jonathan Cooper, Evelyn's boyfriend, chuckled lightly, "I heard from Evelyn that her cousin's uncultured husband always wears clothes bought on Amazon. Could it be that the clothes you bought on Amazon have arrived and someone is delivering them to you?"
After saying that, he even adjusted his own collar, afraid that Michael wouldn't know that he was wearing clothes from the luxury brand Valentino.
"Hahaha!!!" Joshua burst into laughter, holding his stomach. "Brother-in-law, what you said is so right. This loser always wears cheap clothes bought on Amazon. It must be the clothes he bought on Amazon that have arrived!"
Speaking of this, he sneered at Michael and said, "You useless piece of trash, what's the use of having a bunch of invoices? You cheated me out of two million. It's not like you can still afford to wear clothes from Amazon, even if your mother-in-law gives you money."
Evelyn couldn't help but giggle and cover her mouth, "What a waste. Amazon clothes are perfect for him."
Then, she pointed at Jonathan Cooper's clothes and proudly said to Michael, "Valentino, have you heard of it? It's an international brand. One piece of clothing costs over thirty thousand. Is that enough to cover your salary as a delivery person for a year?"
Michael smirked disdainfully, "In this corner of South, there are many people wearing slippers who look like they pick up trash. But in terms of money in the bank, I can crush all of you who wear clothes worth tens or hundreds of thousands. So don't show off, and don't mock, or else you'll end up embarrassed."
Joshua huffed, "You are useless piece of trash, have you been watching too much TikTok? Do you actually believe that?"
"Cousin In our provincial capital, Crystalopolis, there are indeed quite a few low-key local tyrants," Jonathan Cooper chuckled. Then he looked at Michael and sneered, "But while they collect rent all day, what about you? What makes you think you can consider yourself a low-key tycoon when you spend your days delivering packages? Have you ever seen anyone who can squish us to death with the money in their bank account, like you do with your deliveries?"
Michael replied earnestly and seriously, "With the money in my bank account, I can definitely squish you!"
Pfft! Joshua, Evelyn, and Jonathan Cooper burst into laughter at Michael's response.
"You are a useless waste of space. How many measly bucks do you have in your account? Who do you think you can squish?" Joshua laughed uncontrollably.
"Yeah," Evelyn mocked, "Even if we imagine that all the money in your account is in British pounds, enough to buy me a car that Jonathan delivered, I will still kneel down, and sing 'Conquer' for you."
"Really?" Michael squinted his eyes.
"I mean it!" Evelyn slapped her chest and said, "With the money you have, you can afford a car worth over 1.3 million yuan. I will definitely kneel down, and sing 'Conquer' for you."
"Great!" Michael agreed and said, "The car is already on its way. The call we just received was from the delivery driver. It's a fully loaded Parmarine. We just need to wait a little longer."
"At that time..." Michael looked at Evelyn and said word by word, "You must kneel down, and sing 'Conquer' for me!"
As the words fell, silence blanketed the room.
Can this be true?
He ordered a fully loaded Parmarine, and it's already on the way?
"I didn't mishear, did I? This waste of space claims someone is delivering a car to him, and it's a fully loaded Parmarine?" Joshua suddenly exclaimed helplessly.
"If he can't afford it, he should just say so. Is pretending to be cool fun? If the Parmarine doesn't show up, he will be embarrassed!" Evelyn sneered, still not believing in Michael's financial capabilities.
"I reckon he probably bought a toy car, a fully loaded Parmarine toy, and it's being delivered to him by a courier right now," Jonathan Cooper mocked.
"Hahaha!"
Joshua and Evelyn couldn't stop laughing.
"You are a useless waste of space, if a toy car arrives later, I'll make you eat it!" Sophia stamped her foot in anger, not harboring any hope for a real car.
With her receiving three to four thousand yuan per month from him, how could he afford a Parmarine!
So, she agreed with Jonathan Cooper, thinking it must be a toy car!
"Mom, please don't get agitated. It's definitely a real car," Michael said.
"A real piece of crap car!" Emily, his sister-in-law, glared at Michael fiercely. "Even if you sold both your kidneys, you still couldn't afford to give my sister a Parmarine!"
Joshua and the others were all laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt. They couldn't help but find this waste of space extremely amusing.
Charlotte also rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Please stop talking nonsense, can't you see how embarrassed I am?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud roaring noise erupted.
Surprisingly, two Ferraris and a white unregistered Palamela came driving towards them.
Soon, the three cars stopped in front of the hotel entrance, followed by three extravagantly dressed young men getting out of the vehicles.
It was David Butler and the two outsiders with blonde hair!
"I say, useless, are you implying that you bought this Palamela?" Evelyn sneered.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said that, a shout boomed.
"Who the fuck are you calling useless!"
It was David Butler, leading the two blondes, marching angrily towards Evelyn.
"I...I..." Evelyn trembled in fear, pale-faced.
"Buddy, you misunderstood, my girlfriend wasn't calling you useless, she was referring to him," Jonathan Cooper pointed at Michael and explained.
"Fuck him!"
David Butler kicked Jonathan Cooper in the stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"What gives you the right to hit someone!" Jonathan Cooper was livid.
"What gives me the right?" David Butler smirked coldly, pointing at Michael and enunciating each word, "Because he is my Michael, sacred and noble, not someone like you can insult!"
With those words, silence fell!
Everyone stared at Michael in disbelief, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.
Michael?
Are they kidding?
The rich kid driving a Ferrari calls that loser Michael.
For a moment, the people who had mocked Michael felt their heads spin, completely dumbfounded.
This was too ridiculous!
If Michael's surname wasn't Davis and the Ferrari rich kid wasn't referring to Michael and Joshua, they wouldn't dare to believe that Michael meant Michael.
He's not a damn loser, what qualifies the Ferrari rich kid to call him Michael!
They couldn't understand it!
So much so that they were left speechless, looking at each other.
"So what if I insulted him? Let me tell you, I came from the provincial capital, my family is in business, worth billions. Driving a Ferrari worth four or five million is nothing special, I fucking drive a Lamborghini worth seven million!" Jonathan Cooper stood up, shouting in frustration.
"Fuck him!"
Zachary, one of the blondes, kicked Jonathan Cooper again and, pointing at his nose, cursed, "You think you're something coming from the provincial capital? Thinking you are hot shit with a few billion assets? Let me tell you.
"You, David, are a local here with billions of assets in your family, running a tourist resort and holiday mountain villa. You're no less wealthy than my family!"
"Don't just talk about David, Tyler and I, is there any of us whose assets are below a billion?!"
"And you dare to confidently insult Michael, do you even have the qualifications? Before insulting Michael, compare the assets of any one of us three first!"
"Zachary is right!" David Butler crossed his arms and threatened, "If you don't have the financial ability, then you better apologize to Michael for being such a coward. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't walk out of Zenith City!"
After he finished speaking, there was silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
When did this useless Michael recruit these three arrogant rich second-generation guys as his lackeys?
Even Joshua, who always loved calling Michael useless, didn't dare make a peep at this moment and obediently kept his head down.
Because in front of the rich second-generation with billions of assets at home, he was just his younger brother!
"Go and apologize to Michael!" David Butler shouted angrily.
Jonathan Cooper shivered and was scared out of his wits. He immediately scurried over to Michael, lowered his voice, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was being foul-mouthed and shouldn't have insulted you."
