Chapter 167

Nathan casually sat down in front of the three of them.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Suddenly, the whole room turned chilly, and the air got really cold. Samuel gulped anxiously. He felt like he knew Nathan from somewhere, but couldn't quite remember where they had met.

Dario asked bluntly, "What's the deal? No greetings for your in-laws? Looks like you couldn't care less about us."

Nathan had checked out Suzanne's family before marrying her. He knew Suzanne wanted to keep her distance from them, and he wasn't keen on maintaining close ties either.

"Why are you here? Speak," Nathan said with indifference.

Dario's eyes widened, and he pointed at Nathan with displeasure. "I'm your wife's father, your father-in-law. Watch your attitude!"

"If you have no reason to be here, it's best you leave," Nathan replied coldly. His firm attitude made it tough for Dario to take control.

Dario didn't waste time and said, "Did you give the wedding gifts for marrying my daughter? Don't even think about marrying her if the gifts aren't worth millions."

"I did," Nathan replied casually.

"Where are they?"

"With Suzanne."

"How much did they cost?"

"Half of everything I own."

The three of them were shocked by Nathan's words and exchanged surprised looks.

Dario swallowed nervously and eased up a bit as he asked, "Usually, don't people give wedding gifts to the bride's parents? Why did you give them to my daughter?"

Nathan saw this coming. He leaned on his hand and said, "Suzanne gets half of everything I own. How much she wants to share with you is her call. I won't step in.

"If she decides not to share anything, there's not much you can do about it."

Dario scoffed dismissively, "What a joke. She wouldn't dare keep it to herself. I'll make sure she regrets that choice."

With a frown, Nathan warned, "Lay a hand on her, and you won't see the sun tomorrow."

Dario sensed Nathan's strong presence and fell silent. The tension in the air became apparent.

Samuel gave an awkward smile and asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

"I'm Nathan Morrison." The name surprised the three, and their faces went pale as they nervously glanced at Nathan.

With many people having similar names, they tried to reassure themselves that Suzanne couldn't be marrying a general from the Norvanian military.

Samuel continued to ask gently, "Nathan, where do you work?"

"At the military base."

Samuel's face was ashen, and a sudden wave of nerves washed over him. He quickly stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry for the interruption, General Morrison."

His voice shook a bit, and he hurriedly urged his parents. "Come on, Mom, Dad. Let's leave quickly."

Annoyed, Dario brushed off Samuel's hand. "Leave? We haven't got the money."

Samuel broke into a cold sweat. "What money are you talking about? That's General Morrison from the military base! Have you lost your mind from drinking?"

Betty was suddenly shocked as realization hit her. "Is he the General Morrison who shut down Jim's casino?"

Samuel nodded vigorously. His hair was damp with sweat. He grabbed Dario and urged, "Let's get out of here fast. We can't afford to mess with him!"

Dario stood up and shook off Samuel's hand in anger. He roared determinedly, "I don't care if he's the king or anyone else! If he marries my daughter, he's my son-in-law.

"He has to show me respect, whether he likes it or not. I'm not scared of him!"

Samuel was furious, his fists tightening as he felt the urge to knock some sense into his father. "Do you even know who General Morrison is?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. Isn't the military base where our country builds weapons? What's so impressive about someone who makes weapons?

"Let him launch rockets at me or run me over with a tank. I'm not afraid."
