The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge
Having a mother and brother who were always extorting his money, making him a cash cow, was something no one wanted. However, it was much worse when his wife's wealthy family did not accept him. He was being made the family driver, being insulted with words that should not be received by a son-in-law, seeing firsthand the affair committed by his wife, and being reported to the police for violence just for injuring the man who was his wife's affair. When all that happened, not once did Ethan blame them. He could only curse and fantasize about his fate of not having an influential family. However, who would have thought that when he was at the lowest point in his life, an older man suddenly came and introduced himself as his Grandfather. From then on, he became determined to avenge all the humiliation and pain he had felt on them, one by one. He would not let anyone escape his clutches. The Ethan of today is no longer Ethan, the driver in his wife's family, but Ethan Kinsey Aldebaron, the only grandson of the Kinsey family, the biggest business owner and most feared gangster.

Chapter: This Is Our Time"Yes, sir."Hazel and Elio's awkward exchanges instantly became serious."Mr. Ethan wants to talk," Elio said after connecting with his partner in the back car."We're ready to carry out orders!" They unitedly said firmly."Look behind you! Make sure if that car is following us or not!" Ethan ordered directly.The atmosphere became silent as they looked back. Hazel even narrowed her eyes as she looked at the rearview mirror, trying to focus. But instantly, her eyes widened in surprise."Sir, isn't that Miss Celeste's car?""Connect with the car in front!" Instead of answering, Ethan gave Elio another instruction, which he immediately carried out."Speed up the pace!" he ordered directly.The two people in the front car looked at each other, confused. While doing so, the man next to him checked something on his tablet and then whispered, "Someone is following us behind."Suddenly, the man driving turned his head in surprise for a moment before focusing on driving. "Is it necessary to t

And because of that, they also switched to Zenith Corp, making the share price rise sharply.Netizens have noticed this discrepancy, and the situation is heating up.They clearly know how fierce the competition is right now.

Chapter: Had to persuade him"We can't just sit around waiting for the trial! Father, we must do everything possible to get my husband out! Our family is very powerful and has many great people. There's no way there's no way to turn this case around!" Mrs. Bernita, who was only wearing her nightgown with her hair tousled and her face without make-up, shouted excitedly in front of everyone who was discussing in the living room. "If you can't defend yourself, just say you were framed! Or maybe we'll just find a scapegoat! I believe that my husband couldn't have done that. Even if he did, that bastard Ethan provoked him!"Great Mistress Celeste closed her eyes to hold back her emotions at the sight of her current appearance."Ethan's evidence is so strong that it's hard to deny. Even the lawyer said it might be difficult to reverse the situation," Great Master Celeste said."Then just tell me about the previous matter!" Mrs. Bernita replied quickly. "He beat Lucas and didn't give Ariana a living. He's also planning

Chapter: I think I know it"I don't understand what you're talking about." Ariana turned her face away, reluctant to look at Ethan who looked intimidating."When you treated me badly and made me the family driver, I accepted it without protest. Every time you spoke, you insulted me and cornered me. I kept quiet and always obeyed whatever orders you gave me. No matter how hard it was for me to carry them out."Ethan pulled Ariana's face back to look at him. "I might have been able to ignore all those things, but, after all I did, why did you betray me?"Ariana snorted sarcastically and her gaze was filled with contempt. "You're just a substitute groom and we don't love each other, so why are you acting like you love me so much?""Love and betrayal are two different things. Wouldn't you betray me if I loved you?" Ethan asked back."Don't dream!" snapped Ariana who then chuckled softly. "You don't deserve to be my best man, even if you become the CEO of Zenith Corp. To me, you're still a poor loser!""So, that's w

Chapter: RampageHazel looked at Ethan who was also staring at her expressionlessly. She put her phone away and said, "Miss Celeste would like to see you.""Let it go," Ethan replied briefly.Hazel nodded in understanding and went back to talking on her cell phone. "Mr. Ethan is in his office."After that, the call was unilaterally disconnected by Ariana. Hazel's expression looked annoyed, but a second later it returned to normal.Without changing his reclined seating position, Ethan said firmly. "Postpone all my schedules for the time being and you help me to guard this room. Don't let anyone interrupt, no matter how important the business is!""Yes." With that Hazel stepped out and stood in front of the room.Not long after that Ariana arrived along with Jade. The woman wearing her work clothes seemed to be in such a hurry that she didn't care about Hazel's presence and immediately entered Ethan's room.Jade was about to come in, but Hazel immediately held her back and pulled her away. Of course, sh

Chapter: Don't Want to MeetFacing back-to-back questions with demanding expressions like this clearly terrified Ariana.She had never faced anything like this before, especially when other reporters joined in with more pressing questions."Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Please don't discuss things that shouldn't be. I'm here to ask for your support for the slander that attacked my father," said Ariana, trying to calm down.But the people only intensified and were now even standing with their eyes wide with curiosity."Miss Ariana, how can you call it something it's not? This is your problem, and you can't run away from it.""Do you perhaps want to deny it?""Please give an explanation regarding the circulating video. Ms. Ariana, is that true? You had an affair but filed for divorce first?""Miss Ariana, do you really not know anything about Mr. Ethan's identity, who turned out to be the CEO of Zenith Corp? Is that also why you had an affair and divorced him because you thought he was poor?""Now

Chapter: Project planIn the end, Felix took Merrick to the same hospital as Maylinda, but not to visit her but to be treated.Of course, Merrick didn't agree.He tried to keep his hands away so that the nurse couldn't put the IV needle in."Didn't you hear me? I wanted to see Maylinda, not do this. I'm fine, so there's no need for this!" Merrick shouted.Felix looked at him while stroking his chest and then turned to the nurse. "Just do it. If you still can't do it, give me sleeping pills.""Felix!" Merrick glared at him angrily. "What are you doing? I don't need this. Who the hell do you think you are to set me up like this? I don't want to! I want to see Maylinda!"Then Merrick jumped down from the patient's bed and pushed the nurse who was blocking his way.However, before he got far, his body became unstable again.He held his head, which felt dizzy. His vision suddenly spun, causing him to fall down quickly.The nurse rushed to help him, but Merrick still stubbornly refused."Let go of me! I don't wa

Chapter: Merrick's plan"Sir, acquiring the school at a time like this is tantamount to suicide. The fallout is too great. We won't be able to withstand it. The board can get angry." This time, Secretary Jorell spoke politely, like a subordinate giving professional advice to his boss.However, it seemed that Felix's thinking could not be disturbed any longer.He said, "If you can't do it, then I'll do it myself.""Sir!" Secretary Jorell closed his eyes for a moment while taking a slow breath and then put down his coffee cup. "Okay. Tell me your purpose, and I will help you."Because no matter what he was told, his stubborn boss would never listen to him.If this road were closed, then he would find another one. And so on until he finally reached his destination.However, after hearing this, Felix did not answer immediately.He was silent for a few seconds and then stepped outside the hospital. "Of course, to do some cleaning.""Didn't I already invest there? It would be a loss if I just left. Since it's a me

Chapter: Acquisition"I won't hurt you," Felix said again.Slowly, Maylinda's movements stopped. Although she did not lose her frightened face, the girl sat quietly, staring at Felix while hugging her blanket tightly."I came to see you." Felix smiled sweetly, making his figure look different, so warm and soothing. "Maylinda, how are you?"Maylinda's eyes trembled, and she leaned back even more. "Do you know my name?""Of course. Your father just told me. He said that his daughter Maylinda was a very smart girl. I'd like to know, but you don't seem to like my presence here." Even Felix's voice sounded different.Not only did it sound soft, but there were even various tones that he had never used, along with his changed expression.His treatment of Maylinda did not seem stiff. It was like he had done it before, trying to approach a patient with a trauma disorder.Upon hearing this, Maylinda turned to the door, looking at Mr. Lason, who was peering curiously.However, upon seeing Maylinda staring at him, he

Chapter: This is my room"Felix?" Having just entered, Secretary Jorell was already wide-eyed with surprise. "Why are you here?""This is my office, of course, I'm here," Felix replied without changing his position.Suddenly, Secretary Jorell stepped quickly in front of his desk and said excitedly. "I mean, you're being treated, why come here all of a sudden? I've told you many times that you should rest, not go out, let alone work. Then what is this? You're not even acting like a patient.""Felix, why is your head so hard? Can't you hear me just once?" It felt like he was getting frustrated.This was probably how his mother felt when he insisted on going to school despite being sick as a child and eventually getting worse.He had no idea that this feeling was so annoying."You said that my help at work helped you a lot. I'm trying to do my best, but if you come now, what's the point of it all?" "I'm your boss, but why are you talking so casually?" Felix opened his eyes and looked at Secretary Jorell flatly.

Chapter: Obey!"Call Mr. Huxley. Tell him I'd like a meeting," Felix said.Suddenly, Secretary Jorell's expression fell flat.He withdrew his gaze and leaned back with his eyes closed. "My sleep time has decreased. I need to sleep now so that work won't be interrupted later.""Jorell," Felix called again, but Secretary Jorell did not answer.He pretended to be asleep.This made Felix furrow his brow, pull back the covers, and move to go downstairs. "Then I'll go straight to him.""Are you crazy?" Secretary Jorell spontaneously straightened up with his eyes wide open. "You are injured. You can't move much, let alone travel far. Just rest!""I have important business.""Is that more important than your own health?" Secretary Jorell looked very serious this time.It was clear that he did not like Felix's behavior of doing things without thinking about his condition.He worked so hard that often, even when he was sick or injured, he didn't care."How many lives do you think you have? Do the math: in the

Chapter: Like a father"Sir, in the back!" shouted Cassia.Felix turned to dodge, but unfortunately, the man had already plunged his knife into his arm, making Cassia's scream sound loud."Coward!" hissed Felix, glaring at the man."Aren't you the bigger coward? Running and hiding without daring to show yourself. Have you realized your own abilities to be afraid?" The man smiled mockingly as he pressed down on the knife, making Felix's blood rush even more.However, there was no change in his expression.He didn't even furrow his brow as the sharp object tore further into his flesh as if nothing had happened.This reaction of hers certainly made the man face his smile and look at him in confusion.He pulled the knife out roughly and stuck it in again.But Felix was still calm as if the knife was just a toothpick that could easily break."You? How can you stay so calm?" The man was starting to look scared.He looked at his friends, who were slowly walking away, and then back at Felix and laughed loudly. "Hah
