The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1056-1060
Chapter 1056
Blood smeared William's face and trousersโa disgusting sight. Caesar, enraged, kicked him again, shouting, "You don't want to face this, do you? Is it dead? Damn it, when did this car become yours?!"
William, believing Caesar was another of Jeff's creditors, desperately clung to Caesar's leg, yelling, "This Phaeton is mine! You can't drive it away!"
Caesar, furious, grabbed William's collar, snarling, "Are you insane? Didn't you see my car keys? When did my car become yours?"
William wailed, "No! This is Jeff's car. Jeff owes me $620,000. I'll use this car to repay the debt. You can't drive it away! You want me to drive it away? Kill me!"
Caesar punched him again, shouting, "You have a serious problem! This car belongs to me, not Jeff. He hit my car; I let him keep it to repair it. Now that Jeff's dead, I'm taking it back. If you say another word, I'll kill you!"
William cried, "Impossible! This car obviously belongs to Jeff! He has two carsโa Mercedes-Benz and a Phaeton. His Mercedes is wrecked, so he was driving the Phaeton. He's dead and owes me money; I must take this car! If you don't give it to me, kill me!"
Caesar was exasperated. This kid was relentless. He'd beaten him savagely, yet William still clung to his leg. He couldn't kill him in broad daylight; the consequences would be disastrous.
To quickly end this, Caesar lifted William like a chicken, pointed to the rear-end damage on his Phaeton, and said coldly, "Look closely. See the damage? Jeff rear-ended my Phaeton yesterday in his Mercedes-Benz. Now do you believe me?"
William, his face bloody, shook his head. "I don't believe it! This car belongs to Jeff! I need it to pay off debts!"
Caesar felt helpless. He couldn't kill him, but this stalemate was unsustainable. He yelled to his associate, "Doug, get the Phaeton's registration from the Audi A6's armrest box!"
Doug quickly retrieved the document. Caesar showed William the license plate number, which matched the Phaeton's. The owner's name was Caesar, not Jeff.
Chapter 1057
William finally understood Jeff's deception. Jeff was not rich; he'd wrecked Caesar's Phaeton and needed money for repairs, hence the elaborate scheme to swindle over $600,000 from William. Worse, Jeff was dead, and William wouldn't get his money back. His heartache surpassed his physical pain.
Caesar, seeing William's demeanor change, felt relieved. He said, "See? I'm taking my car. There's nothing wrong with it." He knew better than to provoke such a desperate man.
William's heart sank. Repayment on several loans was due in a week, and he had no money.
Seeing William's daze, Caesar left. William sat alone, tears mixing with blood and dust on his face.
A tow truck driver approached, asking, "Want me to call the police?"
William cried, "The man who cheated me is dead. What's the point?"
The driver sighed, "So you're not having the car towed?"
William yelled, "You're blind! Didn't you see the car drive away? I'm not paying for anything!"
The driver, annoyed, left. William demanded his $800 back. The driver explained his repair shop's policy: he'd been dispatched, regardless of whether he towed the vehicle or not, and thus he wasn't returning the money. The two argued further.
Chapter 1058
The driver left. William's anger turned to despair. His priority was the $500,000 debt. He thought of his girlfriend, Juanita, his only family, and sought comfort in her.
He hailed a taxi. The driver, seeing William's condition, hesitated, but William wouldn't let go.
William planned to escape without paying the fare. He directed the driver to a narrow alley and, while the driver was distracted, fled.
William, weakened from his injuries, ran out of breath, felt a sharp pain, and fell. The driver chased him.
Chapter 1059
William, no longer arrogant, pleaded with the driver. He explained his financial ruin and begged for mercy.
The driver, initially angry, was shocked by William's story. He eventually forgave the fare.
William, shamelessly, then asked for $50 for food. The enraged driver kicked him and left.
William, having saved $45, limped toward Juanita's house.
Chapter 1060
William knocked but got no answer. He found a hidden key and entered the house. He heard moans from the bedroom. He burst in, finding Juanita naked in bed with a man.
Enraged, William confronted them. The man kicked William out, revealing that he knew Juanita sold counterfeit cigarettes. Juanita was surprised the man still bought them and that he was kind and caring. She embraced him.
