Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 110
Of course this has got to be a joke, there is no way that the driver of the anonymous trillionaire just said that he is going to pay a hundred million for a signet ring! Even Mateo is shocked, he wasn't expecting Gray to pledge such a ridiculous amount for a ring. Gray turns to him, waiting for Mateo to top his amount, but Mateo knows that he can't. He wouldn't dare. All his accounts are directly monitored by his family, and if an amount like that is taken out, it will surely be noticed and what will happen? He will be punished! So, even Mateo doesn't want to be defeated by a common man like him. He shuts his eyes and calmly accepts defeat. Everyone jumps on their feet and starts to cheer, celebrating Gray's victory. “Mister Lance has proven to be the greatest man among them!” “He is not an ordinary man, he has achieved something so great!” “The late Mister Blanchard would be smiling in heaven for having such an incredible son-in-law!” Stacy is crying and laughing at the sam

Everyone is so confused, this is supposed to be a party to honour a very great man, but this is taking too many wild turns. Stacy and Gray are holding hands as they watch her speak. “What's happening? Do you think something bad has happened?” Stacy whispers to Gray. “Let's wait and see.” Gray tells her. At that moment, Wendy turns to Stacy and smiles at her. “My dear cousin sister, can you come up here to stand by me?” Stacy is totally taken aback by this. Normally, Wendy doesn't want to be associated with her, so what's this about? Stacy shrugs off all the worry and lightly squeezes Gray's hand, before she joins her cousin at the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, something happened. We wanted this party to be the most perfect one in the world, since we wanted to use it to honour our grandfather, but things didn't go well.” Wendy heaves. “One of the items is missing.” Everyone starts to murmur, even Stacy is confused. What has this got to do with her? Wendy inhales and shakes he

Wendy is absolutely destroyed by this! Is Gray trying to scatter her plan to totally embarrass her cousin?! The police look at each other with uncertainty, but they nod and say to Gray. “Go ahead, you have five minutes to prove that she didn't steal it, and we will not arrest her.” “No!” Wendy jumps. “You can't do that, don't you know that he is going to fake it? She stole it from my grandfather's auction items and he is going to help her cover it up!” The police go to her and speak to her in an assuring tone. “Don't worry, miss, we are experts. We will know if he fakes it, and that will only attract extra charges to them.” These words are not so assuring to her because she knows that if they dig deep enough, they are going to know that she was telling a lie. She is so troubled , she is trying to stop this, but Gray is already making the call. He places the phone on speaker, so that they can see that he is telling the truth.“Hello, is this the manager of the brand Ciara Kain?”

Stacy's stomach drops. Did she hear correctly? Her grandfather left her a lot of money?! Ten million?! She was living a moderate life, but all that was over when her parents died and their properties were lost. She was in debt and had to become a servant to the Blanchard family for years and all the while, Wendy kept the ten million dollars away from her?! “You did what?!” Stacy confronts her in great rage. “I had ten million dollars and you kept it all away from me?! Why didn't you give me even a million dollars?! Do you know how my life would have changed if I had that money?! I would have been able to pay part of my loans! I would have started the charity that I have always wanted!” It's so emotional that some people start to cry in the crowd. How can a lady be so wicked to be own cousin sister? Wendy is an evil person and she doesn't even have the sense to be remorseful at all. She scoffs and flips her hair. “How dare you raise your voice at me?! When you didn't have a place

Stacy sees the light leave Pam's eyes and this leaves her in a state of confusion. “What? Is something wrong with his signature?” Stacy glances at the paper. “Are you okay, Pam, you look like you have seen a ghost!” “I'm fine, darling, I'm fine. Maybe I just need a glass of water,” Pam laughs nervously. She knows that her eyes are not playing tricks on her, but she rubs them and peers even closer at the paper. “Is my signature not clear enough?” Gray chuckles. “I can sign it again, if that's not what you want.” “It's not that Mister Lance, your signature is fine, but it's the most distinguished signature I have ever seen in my life.” she says. “My mother used to tell me that it looked like a trillion dollars.” He jokes. Pam raises her head sharply as she looks at him. She is not mistaken, it's surely him. He knows that she knows, and he is making jokes at her. Pam coughs again, placing her hand over her chest. “Oh dear, Pam, you have worked so hard today. Just wait here with

Stacy and Gray have retired to their bed. It has been five days since the event that resulted in Wendy being sent to jail. For the umpteenth time today, Gray's phone rings. He shuts his eyes and sighs, he knows who is calling him without looking at the phone. Stacy is already asleep next to him, so he takes the phone and goes out to the balcony. He hates for this stupid person to disturb his wife's beauty rest. She had a very long day today…Gray picks the call and places it over his ear. “Yes, Dan Blanchard, what do you want from me?” “You know, you have a lot of nerves not to reply to my messages, or answer my calls.” Dan growls. “Is it because I have been taking it easy on you? Do you know that I can make some calls and just ruin your life right now?!” Gray rolls his eyes. This is not the first time that Dan has threatened him, in fact Dan has been insulting him since the moment that he gathered the courage to call Gray. “Mister Blanchard, perhaps there is a reason you have c

This is the call that Gray has been wanting to hear for a long time. The war is soon coming, and the government is waiting for him to provide the nerve agent that will surely give them victory. He said that he is going to test it, and he knows exactly how he is going to do it. The next day, he announces to Stacy that he is going on yet another errand for the anonymous trillionaire. Shs sighs, but just in a tired manner. “I'm not complaining, Gray, it's just that it has been a while since you have had a good rest, can you ask the anonymous trillionaire to give you a few more days to rest?” “I'm sorry, my love, but it has to be done immediately. Don't worry, it's going to be done in a day and I will return to you.” “Okay, then.” She shrugs with a tired smile. “Then I will bake you something to eat as you go.” William comes into the house through the kitchen door. He is covered in sweat, which he wipes off. He has been in the garden for the last hour, cleaning up and cutting all

William looks at the bright red pill that Gray is holding. He has never seen this kind of pill in his life. But he takes it and swallows it without questioning. That's how much he trusts Gray. “I will do whatever you ask of me, sir. You don't even have to worry about that.” William says. Gray smiles. He likes William's enthusiasm. “Where are we going, sir?” He asks Gray. “Don't worry, you will see it when we get there.” Gray opens the door of the helicopter and puts the box into it. William looks around, a bit worried that the pilot is not here. How are they going to get there and come back at the perfect time? This makes William turn to him. “But boss, the pilot is not here yet.” William says. “How are we supposed to get there?” Gray smiles. “Lucky for us, I can fly a helicopter excellently.” William blinks in shock. “Wow, sir, is there anything else you cannot do!” Gray chuckles with amusement. The truth is that he is not just a helicopter pilot, he knows how to fly alm

Worry is not what's on Gray's mind right now. Instead he gently walks out of the room and to his office. He needs to get his laptop. He takes out his phone and gives a call to Alice Yashin. He knows that it's very late at night, but he needs something from her. Like he expected, she picks up immediately. “Hello, sir. Is everything okay? Is Stacy and the baby fine?” “Yeah, they are both sleeping. I just need you to send some files to me.” He says to her. She is quiet from uncertainty at the other end. “But, sir, you are a new father and you are not supposed to be working. Just tell me what to do, and I will handle it.” She says. She is being very generous, but he won't allow that. They have worked so hard for months to see that his mission is fulfilled, and now he is going to handle this one by himself. “Don't worry about it, Alice, I just need you to do one single thing for me. Send all the files we have on the Hyena to me immediately.” “The Hyena, sir? But the man is dead.”

On the fifth of July, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that Gray Lance took over the country, but also as the day that his first child was born. “... The commander in chief of our country has just welcomed a baby girl, Amanda Marie Lance. Congratulations to the people of Westland…” Gray is sitting on the couch, as his eyes watch the almost mute television, where the report of the birth of his daughter has just been broadcasted…She is in his hands, so small and delicate, and she is the most perfect thing in the entire world. He hasn't taken his eyes off her, he is even too scared to breathe too loud. Stacy is totally exhausted, even though the birth was fortunately very short for her. She is lying in the bed, having a deep sleep.Gray is going to forever worship the ground that his wife walks on from this day forward. The pain he saw her go through in the labor room told him that women are not mere people, but super beings with great strength.” His daughter makes

William is explaining everything to her, but she doesn't understand what is going on yet.Why should she be the one to deliver the speech, when she was just helping the anonymous trillionaire's wife? She opens her mouth with a small gap, but no words can come out. Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest. No,no,no. “Gray is the Mars?” She whispers, almost to herself. William looks so proud, he nods slowly. “But…” she stops. Gray is the Mars!! Gray is the anonymous trillionaire! She has been married to the richest man in the world the whole time, and she didn't even know that. This is big news to her, and in front of so many people. She would need like a month to

Stacy is very surprised to see her Aunt, but she is even more surprised to see her Auntie kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. “Please, I was blinded by the devil!” She cries. “I didn't know that you were going to turn out so great. Remember that I gave you a roof over your head and fed you for years. Please have pity on your old and wrinkled auntie. The truth is that Wendy and Mateo told their family that Gray and Stacy are not ordinary people, but the richest and most powerful couple in the country. Mr and Mrs de Nicola believe it very easily because they got their house back. They were happy and satisfied, even though they didn't get everything they had before, and they made sure to stop by the Gray corporation headquarters to thank him. Mrs Blanchard did not believe it at all. “Are you trying to tell me that the disgraceful son-in-law of the family is so rich? Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General. No one is even opposed to this, and everyone is very happy. General Micheal retires happily, after everything, he is sure that he will now live a happy and peaceful life. Everyone is preparing for July fifth, for it's going to be the day that the Mars, who everyone now knows is General Gray Lance, will be sworn in. Hundreds of representatives of good countries come to form firm allies with the new leader of Westland, and everyone is so happy because July fifth is just a day away….There is only one person who doesn't know what exactly is going on, and that's Stacy. She read on the news that the wicked president has finally been killed by the Mars, and she is very happy because the country will know peace now. There is just one thing that she doesn't know, and that is that her husband was the one who killed the president. She didn't watch
304
No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief
302
Brody feels like he has been caught up in a crossroad, the only man that would have been able to help him turns out to be the enemy himself. He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W

The anonymous trillionaire is Mars?! The journalists have a field day with this one, and it's the only thing that they are talking about! Surely, the Mars/anonymous trillionaire is a very smart man, because he has managed to keep his identity for so long, even though he has two different sides. No wonder he has been so devoted to their country! If he can turn his company into a trillion dollar one, then they can trust him with the country and they are sure that he is going to do a very good job with it. Stacy is one of the people that are blown away by this news. She sits down in front of the television in her room, as she watches a newscaster compare an image of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire. “...now if you look at both pictures very closely, you will see that they are both equal in height. Don't miss the broad shoulders, or the mighty biceps that seem to be spilling out of his shirt….” Stacy scoffs. “Is this now a thirst trap? This is a very serious matter!” Wend
