Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 408 Show-off Sisters_1

By the time the three of them arrived at the airport, they could already see Bryson Ridge and her son, Lewis Leocadia, looking around from a distance.

“Knox Ridge, I’ve missed you to death.”

Although Knox Ridge was very reluctant, she still went up to Bryson Ridge with a feigned enthusiasm and hugged her.

“Lewis, this is your auntie. You should have seen her when you were little!”

Bryson Ridge glanced at her son.

“I should have. Auntie, you obviously aged a lot. It seems that living in this country really isn’t suitable for people!”

Lewis Leocadia pushed up his glasses on his nose, looking Knox Ridge up and down: “Look at what the sea breeze did to your face, your skin is all cracked! Gonzalez City used to be a small fishing village. Even though it’s become a city, it still isn’t fit for living.”

The reason he was named Lewis Leocadia was that his father, Celeste Leocadia, wanted his son to be wealthy.

Bryson Ridge was also obsessed with wealth, and the couple came up with this name together.

Initially, the couple washed dishes abroad to fund Lewis’s university education. They didn’t expect that Lewis would catch the eye of a local boss’s daughter and become a son-in-law.

From then on, his career went smoothly, and he was worth millions, leading a fairly good life.

However, outwardly, they claimed that Lewis built his career all by himself.

Now that he saw Knox Ridge, Lewis particularly expressed his foreign-worshipping spirit by belittling Gonzalez City.

“Lewis, you’ve just been abroad for a few years and you’ve already forgotten your home? Your grandfather was a fisherman, and he had your mom and me, didn’t he?”

Knox Ridge’s face darkened, very unhappy.

This was obviously a way of calling her old and mocking her for not having the money to go abroad.

“Knox Ridge, Lewis didn’t mean it that way. Once you go abroad, you’ll understand. The overseas scenery is so beautiful, you could squat down and drink from any river, it’s not just healthy, but incredibly sweet!”

Bryson Ridge inadvertently showed off her diamond ring and the gold necklace around her neck, as thick as a pinky finger.

“This domestic air… cough cough…”

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and shouted to Lewis, “Son, where’s the mask? I’m choking!”

“Here! If I had known the environment was this bad, I definitely wouldn’t have come back!”

With a look of disgust, Lewis turned his nose up and took out two masks from his pocket, handing one to Bryson Ridge and putting on one himself.

“Knox Ridge, these masks cost several hundred each, so I’ll just not give you one. You’ve lived here all along, so you must be resistant to it. I can’t manage; I’m used to breathing fresh air. My lungs and nose are too sensitive!”

Bryson Ridge slowly unfolded the mask and gently placed it over her mouth.

These words made Knox Ridge very unhappy. Wasn’t this just showing off wealth?

But she couldn’t do anything about it.

After all, they were wealthier!

“By the way, this must be my sister, right?”

With his mask on, Lewis approached Quella Radcliffe: “I heard your husband is a good-for-nothing, just sitting at home washing clothes and cooking all day. Is that true?”

“Divorced!”

Knox Ridge interrupted quickly.

“My cousin got divorced so young? But it’s also not bad, in the future, you can just marry some wealthy man in his forties or fifties and you’ll be set for life. Then you can take your aunt and uncle abroad to see the world and broaden your horizons!”

Lewis was somewhat surprised to hear that Quella Radcliffe was divorced.

“Actually, you didn’t need to divorce. Having such a husband, you save on hiring help at home! Otherwise, your aunt and uncle would have to spend money on a domestic worker, which would also be quite an expense for you.”

“Exactly! Knox Ridge, even though you didn’t find the best son-in-law, you did find the worst among us sisters. That’s still something to boast about! Why bother? It’s good to have a servant. I hired three servants abroad. They wait on me hand and foot, it’s like living like a queen!”

Bryson Ridge took out her phone and checked the weather: “This smog is so high! My lungs, let’s go have a meal quickly, I’m starving! The food on the plane is simply inedible, even my dog eats better than that!”

This round of showing off had Knox Ridge nearly bursting with fury, but she couldn’t show it, so she had to bear it and look for an opportunity to show off herself.

“Mr. Radcliffe, drive!”

Burl Radcliffe, upon hearing the command, scurried over immediately and drove the Passat over to the group.

“Fourth, let’s have dinner first,” Mr. Radcliffe said.

Knox Ridge opened the passenger door and was about to get in.

“Wait a minute!”

Lewis Leocadia suddenly called out to her.

“Auntie, what kind of car is this?”

Lewis Leocadia scrutinized the vehicle and said with a frown, “How does this look just like a scrap car? Is it even safe? If something happens on the road, we can’t afford to deal with it!”

Knox Ridge’s complexion turned even uglier at his words.

Exactly what she feared had happened; she cursed Julius Reed in her heart again.

If only they had arrived in a Rolls-Royce, Lewis Leocadia and Bryson Ridge would have had no chance to show off!

“This is a Passat, your uncle bought it ten years ago. We use it all the time; it’s never caused any problems.”

Knox Ridge introduced it awkwardly.

“Ah! I remember now!”

Lewis Leocadia smacked his forehead, having an epiphany, “Our housemaid drives this car; it’s not even suited to be a taxi abroad! Only the poor people in our country like driving it. Can this even be called a car? It’s not even up to being a means of transportation!”

“Exactly! It looks too old. Knox Ridge, hasn’t your family bought a new car yet?”

Bryson Ridge too looked at Burl Radcliffe’s decade-old Passat with disdain.

“We bought a Rolls-Royce recently, but it wasn’t convenient to bring today,” Knox Ridge said.

Knox Ridge had to bring up Julius Reed’s Rolls-Royce; otherwise, she really couldn’t save face.

If she had known it would turn out like this today, she wouldn’t have come to pick anyone up from the airport at all.

“Damn you, Julius Reed!”

She cursed fiercely in her heart.

“Auntie, you don’t have to pretend, we’re all family. So what if you’re a bit poor? No one’s laughing at you. After all, most people are poor, only a few are like me,” Lewis Leocadia said, attempting to be understanding.

“The supercar I have that costs tens of millions – you wouldn’t even be able to afford the gas! The yearly maintenance alone is enough to buy your car,” he added.

Even Burl Radcliffe felt unbearably embarrassed at his words.

“Who said I was lying! I’ll bring it over later and show you!” Knox Ridge retorted stubbornly.

“So tell me, what are the characteristics of a Rolls-Royce? What does it have in the back?” Lewis Leocadia asked, effectively stumping Knox Ridge.

She didn’t have a Rolls-Royce; it was Julius Reed’s, so both she and Burl Radcliffe had no idea!

“You see, there’s no need for this. They say poverty limits ambition. Aunt, you really shouldn’t be like this!”

No sooner had Lewis Leocadia finished his sentence than Quella Radcliffe came over and recited all the features of a Rolls-Royce, right in front of him.

Someone who had never driven one couldn’t have possibly known all those details.

“Cousin, you must have got into some rich guy’s car. You can’t degrade yourself like that! Although working is hard and tiring, if you do that kind of thing, you’ll only bring shame to the family,” Lewis Leocadia speculated that Quella Radcliffe must have been kept by someone, otherwise, how could she know so much? Perhaps she even had slept with someone in the car.

But he couldn’t say that directly in front of his elders.

“You all go ahead to the Roosevelt restaurant. My mom and I will call a ride-hailing service. We’d probably be asphyxiated by this piece of junk before even getting in,” Lewis Leocadia said, looking disdainfully at the Passat before pulling out his phone to hail a car.
