Chapter 596 Utter Disbelief

David did not recognize Alex at first as he stared at Autumn darkly.

"David, what's wrong? Aren't we allowed to bring family to this reunion?" Autumn asked in faux surprise.

"Who is he?" David pointed at Alex.

Autumn exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Alex Jefferson. Alex, this is David Zucker, the oldest son of the Zucker family."

"Nice to meet you," Alex said, extending a hand to David.

David merely glared at him in disgust. "Who the hell are you? I'm not shaking some hillbilly's hand."

He did not know of any Jeffersons in Nebula City and had immediately pegged Alex for a nobody the minute he heard his name.

Having spent eight years in Nebula City, Alex had lost much of his Lumenopolis accent. Few people would be able to discern his old accent in the first place.

His Nebulean was impeccable, and everyone thought he was a true-blue local.

Autumn panicked at David's offensive words. She scolded, "David, show some respect!"

She looked at Alex apologetically next, worried that he would be furious.

Alex shook his head lightly in response and retracted his hand.

David's temper flared as he fired back, "Autumn, what is the meaning of this? Did you pick up some beggar on the street to patronize me?"

He had spent time, effort, and money to organize this reunion and surprise and convince. Autumn to become his girlfriend.

Little did he expect her to show up with a boyfriend in tow and embarrass him.

Worst of all, she was embarrassing him in front of their ex-classmates!

"When did I patronize you? He's really my boyfriend," came Autumn's defiant reply.

David sneered before returning his attention to Alex. Suddenly, he recalled Alex's face. He

ompanying Stelan on a site visit in the past,

He scoffed, "Autumn, isn't he an employee at your company? I remember seeing him with your dad on a site visit. You can drop your act now."

Stunned, Autumn stared at him wordlessly. Alex laughed instead and retorted, "You're right. I'm Mr. Jones' driver. But I don't see anything wrong with me pursuing Ms. Grant."

"You're a lowly driver; you don't deserve to be the Jones family's son-in-law. Don't you understand the concept of matching social status?" David mocked.

Alex smirked. "I like to live off a woman. Got an issue with that?"

David sputtered with anger, struggling to come up with a counter. Eventually, he turned to Autumn and demanded, "Tell me how I can improve, Autumn. I promise I'll change! I can't believe you would bring a nobody here to belittle my efforts!"

Alex defended Autumn immediately. "She's not belittling you; she simply doesn't have any feelings for you. The only person she likes is me, got it?"

Infuriated, David bellowed, "Shut the h*ll up! You've got no right to speak to me. Don't believe me? One word from me is all it takes to kick you out of this place!"

"David, you're mad! How could you insult Dr. Jefferson like this? Were the Zuckers always this rude and unreasonable?"

Chloe and Jason sauntered up to them just then, the latter telling David off mercilessly.

Jason addressed Alex next, "Dr. Jefferson, we didn't expect to meet you here. We've got a private room, won't you join us?"

After some thought, Alex said to Autumn, Let's go. This reunion's kind of pointless, anyway. We'd have a more pleasant time with Jason and his sister."

Autumn nodded, and they followed Jason and Chloe toward an adjoining private room.

David and the others were agape at the situation.

What the f*ck is this?
