The Hidden Dragon In-Law

With that roar, everyone was stunned.

Then, everyone hurriedly took out their phones to check Dihao Group's official service account!

Sure enough!

The service account, verified by Dihao Group, had posted an announcement!

"Dihao Group's 2 billion hotel project signs its first partner, Vice Chairman Margaret Wang and Jinling Xiao Group's representative Mary Xiao ink a 60 million yuan renovation contract!"

Seeing this headline, everyone went wild!

Mary Xiao had actually secured the project! And the amount had doubled!

It had only been a little over half an hour!

How could it be so easy?!

This defied all logic!

Robert Xiao was shocked and regretful!

Before today, whether in status or identity, Mary was incomparable to him.

If he had taken on this task yesterday, whether he succeeded or not, he wouldn't have given Mary the chance to shine!

But he had refused because he was afraid of failing!

It was bad enough that he refused, but Mary actually succeeded!

This was like a slap in his own face!

Old Madame Xiao immediately picked up the contract, scrutinized it carefully, and burst into excited laughter: "Good! Good! Good! Mary, you've truly accomplished a great feat!"

After that, she asked, "How did you do it?"

Mary said, "Thanks to Vice Chairman Wang, she has a lot of faith in our Xiao Family."

In truth, Mary wanted to be honest, but after thinking it over, she realized that not even she was clear on who the chairman of Dihao Group was, so speaking out might not be believed.

Hearing this, Robert's heart sank even further!

Damn it, no wonder Mary could secure the contract!

It turned out that Dihao Group's Margaret Wang was already favorably disposed towards the Xiao Family!

Does that mean anyone from the Xiao Family could have succeeded?

Fuck!

He had truly missed a golden opportunity!

At that moment, James Ye spoke up: "Robert, do you remember our bet?"

Robert's expression instantly turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

How could he forget the bet? The loser had to kowtow three times in public.

Mary had secured the contract, clearly, he was the loser...

Damn it!

No way!

How could he kowtow to such a loser and gigolo!

Absolutely impossible!

So he clenched his teeth and said, "James Ye, fuck you! What are you? Just a gigolo who married into our family, and now you fucking want me to kneel and kowtow to you?"

James Ye replied indifferently, "I may indeed be a gigolo, but remember, we swore an oath yesterday. Whoever reneges, may their father, mother, grandfather, grandmother die!"

James Ye deliberately emphasized the words "grandmother" heavily.

Sure enough!

Old Madame Xiao's expression immediately turned extremely ugly!

She stared at Robert, her voice cold as she interrogated him, "What? You want me to die?"

Robert panicked and blurted out, "Grandma, don't be fooled by James Ye! He wants to humiliate me and you!"

James Ye then calmly said, "Robert, don't try to deceive Grandma here. Remember, you swore an oath. If you go back on it, you'll be cursed, and do you really want to curse Grandma?"

Robert was horrified and blurted out, "Grandma, you can't take a joke seriously!"

Old Madame Xiao's face was stern as she said, "You know I'm a devout Buddhist. You dare to break an oath made to heaven?"

"Grandma..."

Robert was truly panicked because he could see that Grandma was really angry!

Old Madame Xiao saw that Robert, for the sake of his own face, was even willing to break an oath that was tied to their lives. She slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Are you determined to break your oath?"

"Grandma, I..." Robert stammered, quickly weighing his options.

If he honored the bet and apologized to James Ye, he would lose face.

But if he didn't honor the bet and angered Grandma, he would lose everything in the Xiao Family!

With that thought, he reluctantly, but firmly said, "Fine! I accept the bet and will honor it!"

James Ye watched him with a smile, silent, just waiting for him to kneel and kowtow.

Robert felt his legs were as heavy as lead, moving with difficulty towards James Ye.

Shaking with rage and clenching his teeth, he still fell to his knees.

Thump!

Some onlookers even quietly took out their phones.

Robert bowed his head, his voice trembling, "I was wrong!"

After speaking, he leaned forward and knocked his head on the ground with a thud.

James Ye said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Louder."

Suppressing his humiliation, Robert kowtowed again, "I was wrong!"

James Ye sneered, "Oh, so you're saying you were wrong. What exactly did you do wrong?"

Robert, wishing he could kill James Ye, still had one more kowtow to go.

So, he clenched his teeth and said, "I was wrong to doubt Mary's capabilities..."

After speaking, he kowtowed again!

James Ye felt extremely satisfied!

He had been fed up with Robert Xiao for a long time, and seizing this opportunity to make him kneel and admit his mistake felt truly exhilarating!@@novelbin@@

Mary Xiao watched all this in astonishment, feeling that her husband suddenly seemed different!

What exactly was different, she couldn't quite pinpoint at the moment.

But recalling how confident her husband was when he made the bet with Robert yesterday, it seemed he had anticipated his own victory?

Why did he have such strong confidence?
