The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 1020

Donald never thought he would be facing matters of car bandits and road bullies in his life again.

How many years has it been since I last encountered this?

One might only encounter such stuff in a remote place.

Who would have thought that this time, following Leonard back to his ancestral home, I would encounter such a novel way of asking for money?

Indeed, Leonard could afford to part with a hundred thousand. However, the idea of handing over such a sum before even stepping through the door made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Money isn't that easy to obtain, after all. Why should I pay up just because they say so? This is just too much.

After a moment of contemplation, Leonard turned to Odin and suggested, “How about this? I'll go in first to see Mr. Montgomery and hear what he has to say.”

As soon as Odin realized that Leonard had no intention of giving him the hundred thousand, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

He looked at Leonard and said flatly, “Uncle Leonard, you've already got your RV. You shouldn't be short of this hundred thousand. You don't need to ask Mr. Montgomery about this. It's his idea that every member of the Wilson family should pay a hundred thousand a year. Uncle Leonard, if you genuinely find it difficult to come up with the hundred thousand, then let's just forget about today's family banquet. You're always welcome to join us for a meal in the future.”

Odin really was as fickle as they came, flipping his mood at the drop of a hat.

Leonard gritted his teeth. “Fine, it's just a hundred thousand. I'll give it!”

Leonard gave Linda a meaningful glance, signaling her to transfer a hundred thousand to Odin.

After receiving the money, Odin flashed a sly smile and, with a wave of his hand, had the roadblock removed.

“Uncle Leonard, have a safe journey.”

After getting in the car, Linda began to incessantly criticize Leonard.

“Oh, Leonard, Leonard. Why are you so concerned about keeping up appearances? We only have so much in our savings, and here you are, handing out a hundred thousand just to get through the door. What if they come up with another reason to ask you for money later? Will you give it or not?”

Leonard tended to be rather bold in front of others, but when Linda scolded him, he still lowered his head and dared not say a word.

“Come on, Mom. You can't blame Dad for this. Didn't you hear what that man just said? We have to pay to get in. We've driven all this way, so we can't just turn around and go home for nothing.”
