A Billionaire In Disguise

Early that morning as the Barlow family sat at the dining table, having breakfast, Roland remained standing like always.

He wasn't allowed to eat with them since Madame Rosey considered him to be a worthless son-in-law that didn't deserve to eat expensive meals that he had not work for.

“Catherine,” Mr. Barlow said, gently laying his fork down on the plate.

“Yes, grandfather,” Catherine mumbled, looking away from her food and focusing on his eyes.

“Take your husband to the company and find something useful for him to do. It will diminish the Barlow family reputation if people find out that your husband is nothing but a house help.”

“Yes, grandfather.”

Suddenly, madam Rosey put down her fork and glared at Rome before she calmly stared at her husband.

“Do you think it's wise to have him meddling in the company? He's a fool with no educational background. It will be troublesome if he goes there and becomes a burden.” Madame Rosey said, sounding annoyed.

“What can we do? He can't keep on doing house chores for the rest of his life. We have to make him worth something to this family.” Mr. Barlow said, sighing heavily.

Hearing them speak about him in such a manner had Roland desperately wanting to laugh, yet he kept a straight face and listen.

“Grandmother, don't stress yourself. We will make sure to keep our dear brother-in-law in check, right Charles, Jeff, and Richard?” Chloe said, smirking at her cousins.

‘Why is she getting us involved?’ The three of them thought, staring at her with a frown on their faces.

“Well, Chloe, darling, that's so thoughtful of you. Grandma can feel a bit at ease now.” Madame Rosey said.

Suddenly, Charles put his meat on the plate and said, “Grandmother, you don't have to worry. I will make sure that Rome does not cause any trouble for the company.”

“Me too, grandma. You can count on me to keep Rome in order.” Jeff hastily uttered, setting his teacup down.

“Yes, grandmother. I will make certain that the company's reputation remains intact.” Richard mumbled, eyeing his cousins.

“Well, that's great.” Madame Rosey said.

Then her gaze swayed towards Rome and she scowled at him.

“Don't you dare make trouble for this family again!” Madame Rosey lashed out.

“I won't dare,” Rome mumbled, hanging his head low.
