Chapter 4: Definitely a Fraud

Son-in-law of the Tatham family? The two security guards were stunned, they had been working for the Tatham family for several years now, but they had never heard of this. Seeing the two of them silent, Jonathan glared, "What are you looking at? Let me in! You will regret it if you make me late!" Seeing Jonathan so confident, the two security guards glanced at each other, could this man really be the son-in-law of the Tatham family? After all, the Tatham family was a large clan with many descendants, he could very well be the boyfriend of one of the distantly related ladies. After hesitating for a moment, they allowed Jonathan into the hotel. The third floor of the Tatham Hotel, today's main venue. Soft music, bustling guests, it was a lively scene. Men in suits and ties, women adorned with jewels, everyone was of significant status. At this moment, a white-haired elder in a brown satin Tang suit (A kind of Chinese jacket) sat at the head of the table. It was David, the patriarch of the Tatham family. David had a kind face and smiled at everyone, occasionally chatting with those around him. "Mr. Tatham, I am Michael Corwin of the Corwin family, I am here to congratulate your Tatham Group on going public and hope that the old patriarch will give us the Corwin family some opportunities for cooperation in the future." "Old patriarch, I am Joseph Hudson, the chairman of the Skycloud Group, we must collaborate when the opportunity arises!" "Old patriarch, our Zimmer family also wants to cooperate, you can set the terms!" Several people respectfully said to David, each face carrying a hint of flattery. At this time, David's son Matthew Tatham came over and whispered, "Dad, they all want to cooperate with our Tatham family, and they all have given up ten profit points." "Hehe, you are all very kind, rest assured, as long as you all come with sincerity, we will naturally have opportunities to cooperate." Upon hearing this, Joseph and the others were overjoyed, "Thank you, old patriarch!" Now that the Tatham Group has gone public, the future of the Tatham family is just around the corner, and at this time, holding onto the Tatham family's thigh would definitely make countless people envious. "Matthew, where is that girl Luna?" At this time, David asked. Matthew smiled slightly, "Dad, don't worry about her. Luna is chatting with the younger generation, she has become a leader in our circle." David nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, this girl is the future successor of our Tatham family, her capabilities represent the future of the Tatham family." "Don't worry dad, don't you trust Luna's abilities? It's time for the gift presentation, let's see what they brought first." Matthew said. At this time, the gift givers arrived. "Skycloud Group, presents a longevity mountain stone!" "The Corwin family, presents a pair of Jade Charm!" "The Zimmer family, presents a pure gold Buddha..." The crowd around watched as the gifts were presented, their discussions growing louder. These were all valuable items, any one of which was worth several millions. David was clearly pleased with these gifts. Just as he was looking forward to what was to come, a figure walked over. "Young Jonathan pays his respects to the head of the Tatham family, may our business prosper!" David was taken aback, looking at the young man in front of him, it took him a while to recognize who this person was. The young man was dressed plainly, out of place here, especially his worn-out backpack, which attracted attention. Many people also noticed Jonathan and looked over. "Who is this guy? Dressed so shabbily, like a migrant worker, is he a guest of the Tatham family?" "He must have gotten lost, how did the hotel security let this kind of person in!" "All the people who came to celebrate today are big shots from Skyward State, this guy is dressed so shabbily, it's embarrassing!" Jonathan didn't care about the discussions around him, these people didn't understand anything, he was the son-in-law of the Tatham family, with this status he could outshine them all! Several young people came over, Jonathan took a glance, and was immediately attracted by a girl in a pink dress. The girl had long hair over her shoulders, slightly curly, delicate features, noble temperament, just like a princess on TV. "Luna, do you know him?" David asked. Jonathan was very young, if he was a guest, he could only have been invited by Luna. Luna shook her head, her eyes scornful, "Grandpa, all the people around me are from the second generation circle of Skyward State, even if they are not up to par, they are up-and-coming stars, how could I know this country bumpkin!" "Hahaha! I get it, this guy must have sneaked in when the security wasn't paying attention!" "This country bumpkin sure has guts, daring to sneak into the celebration hosted by the Tatham family, I mean it's one thing to sneak in, but to approach Mr. Tatham, he's been discovered!" David's face darkened slightly, "Young man, this is not a place for you, you should leave." The people around immediately laughed, looking at Jonathan with contempt. Jonathan was angry, thinking that once he becomes the son-in-law of the Tatham family, he will definitely deal with these arrogant people! Thinking of this, he said, "The head of the Tatham family, it was my Madam who sent me to find you, my Madam is called Mia Ford." Upon hearing this, David's face changed slightly, this kid was actually Mia's disciple! Matthew, who was next to him, noticed his father's expression and asked in a low voice, "Dad, do you know this person?" David didn't answer, how could he not know Mia? If Mia hadn't helped him back then, he would have lost his life. At first, he was very grateful to Mia, but as the Tatham family rose in power, and with the successful listing of the Tatham Group, his feelings of gratitude had somewhat diminished. It had been ten years, what was Mia's disciple doing here? Was he here to collect the reward? If that was the case, he could just give him some money and send him away. But if it was about that matter... "What did your Madam send you to do?" David asked after a few minutes. Jonathan raised his head and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper, "The head of the Tatham family, my Madam saved you back then and didn't take a penny, but made this marriage contract with you. I'm here to fulfill it!" With those words, everyone at the celebration was in an uproar. "The Tatham family has a marriage contract with a country bumpkin? How is that possible!" "Who knows, but that guy doesn't look like he's lying. If it's true, it's going to be interesting, I remember the Tatham family's third generation only has one girl, Luna." "It's impossible! Luna Tatham is one of the top beauties in the entire Skyward State, how could this country bumpkin have a marriage contract with Luna!" "Exactly, and I heard that Ms. Tatham is very close to the son of the Lewis family, and it's said that Mr. Tatham has already given his tacit approval." "If this marriage contract is real, this guy is going to be in trouble, let alone the Tatham family, just the son of the Lewis family alone could ruin him!" Taking the yellowed paper, David sighed, it was indeed about that matter. Back then, he indeed promised his granddaughter to Mia's disciple as a way of expressing his gratitude. But now the Tatham family is in its heyday, how could his precious granddaughter marry a country bumpkin? Moreover, Luna represents the future of the Tatham family! Matthew at his side asked, "Dad, is... is this marriage contract real?" "Grandpa, how could our Tatham family possibly have a marriage contract with someone like him, I think he's just a fraud!" At this moment, Luna stepped forward and quickly said.
