Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 145
Stacy doesn't know what to do, she just stands there and stares in astonishment. Mrs Lance almost bursts out at the sight of the gift, she hugs Wendy and covers her face in kisses. “I knew that you have always been the daughter I never had!” She wipes her eyes. “Look at how nice you are treating me! And look! My favourite cookies are even here!” Stacy feels a painful tear leave her eye. All her effort to win over her mother-in-law has gone into the bin. Mrs Lance turns to her with spite. “Did you see what she just did, Stacy? That's how one is supposed to treat their mother-in-law. You should learn, you are very hard to like, Stacy. Very hard.” Stacy bows her head and apologizes. She is not a weakling, she is just trying to be as respectful to her mother as possible. “Please, excuse us, Mrs Lance. Stacy borrowed something from me, and I need her to show me where she hid it.” Wendy smiles. She pulls Stacy by her hand and takes her all the way to the bedroom. She shuts the door

Stacy is not comfortable with this at all. She has seen that Mrs Lance has joined the band to hate her, so why should she go to dinner with them? She goes to knock on Mrs Lance's door and gives it a gentle knock before getting into the room. Mrs Lance is already putting make up in her face, she is all set for the dinner. “Oh, Mrs Lance, I wanted to tell you that I don't want to attend the dinner tonight because I have some things to do. If it's alright, I can drive you there alone, and even bring you back home when you are ready…” The glare on Mrs Lance's face makes her swallow the rest of her words. “Are you being serious right now?! Do you know that Wendy is a top model and has brought out time to have dinner and you want to turn her down?! How dare you?!” “Mrs Lance, it's not like that–” “In as much as I know that you are going to ruin the fun, you dare not turn down this invitation!” She warns her. “Get your clothes ready and we are leaving in ten minutes!” Stacy's heart

Hearing that, Stacy almost bursts out with tears over their ill treatment, but she holds herself. She smiles and hands the menu back to the waiter. He goes away and returns with very tantalizing food that she has seen in a long time…Stacy has come to hate her own cooking over the past days. It's not like she is a bad chef, no, it's because of her pregnancy and the oddness of her hormones. Her cooking is excellent, but her tongue can't accept the taste of the food, so she has suffered since she can't eat as much as she wants, since she can't eat as much as she wants. But, she would have totally wanted to eat the food that her cousin and mother-in-law are having right now. Too bad they won't allow her to have it.She silently keeps her head down and sip her water…“Look how beautiful you look. You have grown so much since I saw you at the wedding,” Mrs Lance chuckles. “Yes, Mrs Lance, that was a long time ago.” Wendy nods with a smile on her face. Mrs Lance pulls closer to Wendy

Stacy feels her heart racing in her chest. She doesn't know what comes over her, she dashes to Mrs Stacy and applies pressure on the wound. “I need an ambulance, please! Somebody, help me!” She screams. Everyone around her is shocked. Too shocked to even react to the situation and help her. Stacy's eyes get filled with tears, time is precious, she doesn't want to lose her mother-in-law. She turns to Wendy, who is staring at Mrs Lance with shock on her face. “Wendy, I know that you are shocked, but we need to act fast. You heard her, you have to call the ambulance now, or we are going to lose her.” She did not expect Wendy to roll her eyes and pick up her purse. “I don't like blood, I'm out of here.” Stacy's jaw drops to the ground. “Wendy, are you being serious right now?! She adores you to a fault and you are acting like this with her? She is going to die!” “So, what? She is an old woman, she doesn't need to live anymore. Take her to the morgue or something. Then call Gray to

Stacy holds her hand over her chest. She is disheartened that Mrs Lance is asking after Wendy, the same person who abandoned her, but she doesn't know what to say to Mrs Lance. Even though she has been mean to her, she doesn't want to break her heart. If she tells Mrs Lance all the mean things Wendy said about her, she would not believe her. So, what's the use? Why even try? “Mrs Lance, please don't move too much because you are weak. Let's wait for the doctors to come to treat you and I'm sorry, but if I have to guess, I think you are going to spend the night in the hospital.” “What?” Mrs Lance raises her head even higher. “Did you not hear what I asked you? I said where is my beautiful daughter-in-law, Wendy?! Why would I have you by my side when I can have her?!” “Mrs Lance…” “Call her immediately. She perhaps doesn't know I am in the hospital.” Mrs Lance says. “I feel so terrible that I ruined the dinner. I will apologize to her. Also, seeing that kind face of hers is going

For a full two minutes, Mrs Lance is just staring at Stacy with her jaw on the ground. Stacy doesn't know what to do with this, in fact she is uncomfortable because she doesn't know what to expect since Mrs Lance can be very unpredictable. “Oh, Mrs Lance, I didn't mean to suggest putting my dirty blood in you. It's just that the blood bank is low and I am the last resort. I didn't want you to die…” Stacy has barely finished speaking when Mrs Lance bursts into tears and starts to cry into her hands. “Oh, I can't believe this,” she sobs. “You, the girl that I have been horrible to, is the one who is choosing to save me? Not even Wendy? The one I loved and chose over you?” Stacy looks around in surprise. She is stunned that Mrs Lance didn't expect that she would even offer to help her. “You are my husband's mother, Mrs Lance. It's okay if you don't like me, I would give my blood to save you even a hundred times.” she chuckles nervously. Mrs Lance reaches out and hugs Stacy very

With Gray's connection, he, Landon and Williams were able to leave the country without detection. Gray has put on his secret identity of the Mars, which everyone assumes to be dead. Landon is very excited to have you on Mars with him right now. He told his people, the soldiers of Deholt, that he was going to bring help to them. If the Mars trains the soldiers, it would be impossible for the Westland enemies to even win this war. Landon quickly made a call for them to prepare VIP accommodations for the Mars, and William. It's a long journey and takes about 5 hours until the plane touches down in the military airstrip. Thousands of soldiers have been willingly waiting for him under the sun and as soon as the door opens, they shout and cheer as soon as they see him. “Westland lies! The sword of justice, the Mars is here!” They roar, jump and clap their hands. They heard months ago that the Mars was missing, presumed dead, and that's the biggest tragedy for them this year. Even

The next three days proves very tough for the Deholt soldiers and even though many of them break down, a good number of them as able to stand the test of time.

The death squad. They are going to be working under General Landon Hayes, and they will be the most lethal group that this army has ever seen.

After the meeting, everyone starts to head back to their homes because it's almost midnight. Even though Gray is the Chairman of this secret society, he is still the least richest and doesn't have a car. Many of them drive off without offering him a ride, but Gray doesn't mind. He puts his hands into his pocket and walks down the dark street. Mateo is the only one left and he smirks when he sees Gray walking by the road. He wanted to zoom off with pride, but he suddenly changes his mind. He slows the car down and looks out of the window, at Gray. “Mister Lance, do you need a ride?” Mateo asks. Gray glances at him. “Do not worry yourself. I'm sure that I will soon come across a taxi.” “You must be dreaming, Gray.” Mateo laughs. “It's midnight and people are too scared to come to this area because this has been the hotspot for robbers. You either come into my car, or you get stabbed by thugs looking for who to rob.” Gray is not afraid of whichever thug he might see, since he c

It's very funny that Gray is standing right in front of the people that just suggested that they have a manhunt for him. They are absolutely going to lose their minds if he opens his mouth and tells them the truth of who he is. They might actually pass out from the shock…This is not the right time, so he pushes it away from him and shakes his head. “Yeah, we are not going to be doing that. Our role in this society is to protect our own interest, and that means that the Mars and his grievance with the government doesn't concern us.” “What?!” The men look at each other. “Gray, Chairman Gray, you don't know what you are talking about.” Mateo shakes his head. “Do you know how beneficial this is going to be for us to get this man for the president? We are going to be rewarded with so many good contracts!” “I am trying to save your lives. If the Mars is known for one thing, it's the fact that he is the most dangerous soldier in the world. If you are coming for him, you think your secu

Mister de Nicola is taken aback by this. He helplessly looks at him knowing that there is nothing he can do about this. They have to obey Gray, or else they will be kicked out of the secret society. They can't be kicked out. They might be the biggest Mafia family in the country, but this society has helped them too much for them to leave it. So, he looks at his son and nods his head a little. Mateo frowns greatly. His father must have totally gone insane to think that he will kiss this man's feet. “Did you hear what I say, Mister Mateo?” Gray chuckles. “Don't be silly, time is moving very fast, and many people would gladly take your family's place.” “Please, don't say that, Mister Lance, he is going to do exactly what he has asked.” Mister de Nicola laughs nervously. “Do what he has said, Mateo. Remember what I said about making sacrifices for the family.” He says. “What? No!” Mateo fumes. “I will not kiss those poor feet of his! How can my lips even touch his cheap leather sho

When the black van comes to pick Gray from his house, he is not even fazed at all. Stacy's heart starts racing as soon as she sees those men in full black regalia standing in front of her house. They are asking for Gray, but she won't let him go. “What do you want from my husband?! Leave us alone!” She yells. “Excuse us, ma'am, we don't mean any harm. Your husband just needs to be somewhere and we will bring him back in one piece.” Stacy doesn't believe them, she brags her phone and immediately threatens to call the police on them. Gray immediately holds her hand and calms her down. “Don't worry, Stacy, I will be fine.” “No, they look like very shady people!” She shakes her head. “I will call the police immediately!” Gray smiles at her. “Don't worry yourself, okay? I am more than capable of taking care of myself. I will be back by evening.” Stacy doesn't want him to go, but since he has assured her that he is going to be fine, she has no other chance to let him go. “Please

The news of the Mars reappearing spreads like wildfire, and soon, Westland is filled with talks again. Everyone made peace with the fact that the savior was dead for months, so how is he alive now?! He didn't come back to tell them that he was alive, and that he was going to save them from the enemies, Deholt, instead he seems to have become their friend! Different theories start to fly around, everyone tries to come up with rational explanations for this. “The Mars must have become corrupt. That's why he is taking side with the enemies.” “Maybe the government betrayed him. That's why he has chosen to work with Deholt.” And there are the others that think that the country of Westland is doomed. If the Mars is going to support Deholt, then Westland is going to lose this war…Stacy has been spending so much time in front of the television, her eyebrows pulled in worry. Gray notices this, so he switches off the television and sits in front of her. “Is everything okay, my love?”

Stacy finds herself shedding tears when her mother-in-law is set to leave. Even though they did not start on the right foot, they have grown very close to each other. She is wiping her tears as she helps her mother-in-law pack her clothes into her only suitcase. “Maybe we should speak to Gray again. I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay here for even a year.”“Stacy, don't be silly. Don't get me wrong, I love staying here with you, but I also love staying alone in my house.” Mrs Lance smiles sweetly at her. “But what happens to me when the time comes for me to give birth? My biological mother is dead, so who is going to hold my hand through the labour?” she wonders. Mrs Lance kisses her cheek. “Don't worry, my daughter. I have trained Gray to be the best husband, and I know that he is going to treat you well. I will come back, if I can, but no matter what, you are going to do great.” Once they are finished, Stacy insists on taking the suitcase downstairs, to where Willi

Mrs Lance feels like her dear son is telling her a joke, but he has the most serious look on his face. “Haha! How funny, Gray! You think because I am old, I am going to be able to believe everything?” She laughs. “How are you the richest man in the world? How am I supposed to believe it?” “You don't have to, mum.” Gray says. “Just know that you don't have to worry about me having a better job, because everyone in this building is on my payroll.” Her smile disappears and her heart jumps immediately. What if he is not lying?She gets closer to him, staring into his eyes, but she doesn't see an iota of lie in them. “Oh my God!” She holds her hands over her mouth. “Please, Gray, tell you that you are joking.” Gray sighs and rubs his fingers over his forehead. “It's hard to believe, I know, but if you remember how I worked hard, how I studied for multiple degrees at the same time, if you remember how much sleepless nights I have put into this, then you will know that it's not just any

She holds both of her hands up and begins to pray to God, so that when the anonymous trillionaire comes, he will listen to everything she has to say. She hears a movement around the door, and she immediately stands up to her feet. She is very sure that it's the anonymous trillionaire coming in, and the moment she sees him, she is going to throw herself to the ground and start to beg for his help. The door opens by a crack, and she almost projects her body to the ground, but she immediately stops herself when she sees that it's not the world richest man, but her son, Gray. “Oh, Christ, what are you doing here?” She sighs. “What are YOU doing here?” Gray frowns at her. “This doesn't look like you have come to visit your highschool friend. Why did you lie to me? What are you even looking for in this p
