Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 16
William grips the phone a little too tight, he can hear his father struggling to breath at the other end of the phone. The empire that Mister Fleeton spent forty decades to build has fallen because of the foolishness of his son! William snorts at his father's words. He doesn't want to believe that he and his family are now very poor. “Dad, stop panicking, it's not that serious.” he waves off. “How can you say we are not poor? We are billionaires, even God can't make us poor overnight!” “William, you stupid boy! You don't know what you have done!” His father cries. “I have to sell all the cars quickly, before our misfortune spreads and no one will buy them. Otherwise we might not be able to afford breakfast tomorrow!” It's all a dream to William, a very bad dream that he wants to wake up from, but people start to glance at their phones as they walk past him. “It's him, the father is worth only five million now!” “Wasn't he in the club yesterday? Covering the strippers with money?

The satisfied staff gives each other high fives as they have taken care of the crazy rich kid. Gray, Jones, and Alice chuckle as they see William get thrown. Jones helps Alice with her chair, like a true gentleman. She thanks him and they all sit down to order and eat. “I must say, Gray, I was very surprised to hear that you are back in the city.I was very confused when the news said that you were missing and presumed dead. I was relieved to hear from you.” Jones says. “How is your wife, how is your family? I am sure that your wife is so happy to see you,” Gray smiles at him. “Wendy just divorced me. She said that she found a new boyfriend.” Jones' smile goes away immediately. Does Wendy know that she has just divorced the richest man in the city? Jones is one of the few people that knows about Gray being the mars, and also being the richest man in the city. He has kept this secret of his friend very tightly to himself. He knows that Gray single handedly stopped the war, but t

The small end of the quarter party comes up in two days. It's more of a small business party, just between over a hundred people, and Jones makes it small and intimate because of how Gray loves his privacy. Gray and Alice gets to the venue and they are surprised to meet so many people outside, with so many cars parked outside. Since most of the people in attendance are members of the golden club, there are very many expensive cars outside. Jeeps, Lexus, Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Mercedes, name them all. It's like a car showroom here. It's so expensive that Alice's poor car looks like a dump truck. She sighs as she steps out of her old jeep. She has to slam the door very hardly to get it to shut properly, this attracts the attention around them. Gray notices this and smiles at his shy assistant. “Are you okay, Alice?” He asks. “Yes, sir,” she smiles. “Just… I'm just anxious because I am meeting so many rich people.” “You will be fine, you look great.” He compliments her. They are

Hearing that Gray said he will take Alice and her family into the top tier of the golden club, that makes Tori and her friends laugh even more. “Your fellow garbage man thinks that he is powerful enough to put you into the club? You think it's a club for the poorest?” Tori mocks. But Alice is not listening to Tori. Did Gray just say that he is going to put her family into the top tier? He is doing more than she even dared to ask. She can't even hear the hateful word of Tori anymore. “Sir, do you mean it?” She clasps her hand over her mouth. “if my family gets into the top tier, our lives are going to change overnights. My poor parents will become billionaires in a few days!” Gray nods with a chuckle. “Alice, I know, that's why I want them there. You have been very faithful and loyal to me, it's not too much for you.” Alice doesn't know when she bursts into tears and hugs her boss. “Oh, I'm so happy! God will bless you so much, sir! I will serve you for the rest of my days!” Sh

Inside is not as chaotic as outside. The party has started already and gentle music is being played by a small group of violinists in a corner. Smartly dressed waiters are walking around, making sure that all the guests have drinks in their hands and are having a good time. Alice and Gray are handed drinks too and they start to move around. There are less than a hundred people in this meeting. Alice almost feels intimidated by how rich everyone around her is, but the new status of her family gives her the boost she needs. Jones takes the stage and he gently raises the glass to the air, catching the attention of everyone. “Good day, everyone. Thank you for coming to my company's quarterly party.” He says. “This quarter, we have registered more profits than any other time of the year, and that's thanks to you,my partners are associates…” Everyone claps. It's obvious that they all respect Jones. Even though he is young enough to be a son to many of them. “And also today, I am thr

After the meeting, Alice is so happy that she is playing music in the car as she drives Gray back to his estate. This is the happiest day of her life. She loves how much Gray has changed her life! Shs is driving the car with a big smile on her face. “My mother wants to invite you for dinner at our place. It's in a small town in the middle of nowhere, I told her that you won't be able to come, but she was just so happy and she had to offer,” she chuckles. “I am so happy for your family.” Gray looks out of the window. “And we owe it all to you, sir.” Alice tells him. “My family now have warehouses all over the country and even abroad. You have changed our lives forever.” If there is someone whose life deserves to go turned around for good, it's Alice…As she drives down the road, she wants to make the final turn to the house, but Gray stops her. “Can we turn to the left side of the road? I need to purchase something quickly,” he instructs her. She crooks one of her eyebrow in a

Another employee walks into the place. He has short blonde hair and he is wearing a white packet shirt and black pants. A dressing code for the junior workers. He looks smart in his work clothes, but he looks so tired that his eyes look that they are sinking into his face. He is just nineteen years of age. Freshly out of highschool and he is just trying to make a living to support his sickly mother. So, that's why he hasn't quit in this shitty place if work. That's why he swallows all the bullying that his seniors serve him on a daily basis. He puts on the best smile on his tired face and starts to walk to Alice and Gray. “Good morning, ma'am, sir, he greets. “Welcome to Grand motors. Can I know what kind of car you are seeking to buy, so that I can know what to show you.” Alice is standing behind Gray, her hands folded over each other.She thinks that Gray is here just to purchase a car for himself , but she is very wrong. “Young man, do you have a Rolls Royce La Rose Noire?”

Alice frowns when she hears the man said that they can't afford to buy the car. The other woman said that they are wasting her time and she left! Gray doesn't say anything, he is not disturbed with the embarrassing way this people are treating him. The boy, the young teenager salesman, he picks up the key and walks up to them. “Sorry for my boss, he is just tired. Come, I will show you the car!” He takes them upstairs to where the car is displayed on the another floor. The car is kept separate from the rest. It's a beautiful red car and sparkles in the white lights. Alice draws breath, because she seems to be finding it difficult to breathe in front of such a beautiful car. Tommy is smiling too. This is one of his most favorite cars in the world.“Isn't she beautiful?” He chuckles. “She is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It will interest you to know that this case is so expensive and precious, only a few has been made.” Gray turns around, observing the car too. Alice

Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque? William can drive very quickly, he will go to the bank and get it for you–” Stacy throws herself against him sobbing as she hugs him very tightly. Where has he been all her life? She has suffered so much and many times, he fell into depression. He would have saved her so much pain. “Thank you, Gray.” She sobs. “You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. Because of you, I can attend my grandfather's remembrance party.”Gray is surprised by her hug, but he chuckles and hugs her back. “I told you already, Stacy, you're my wife and you deserve everything. Now, wipe your tears. I will attend your grandfather's remembrance party with you.” “You will?” Her eyes widen. “I will stand with you as you remem

Stacy is woken up by a phone call the next morning. Gray is not in bed with her, he slept in his study because he said that he has a lot of work. She keeps running her hands over her eyes, she can't believe what's happening. The person that is calling her is no other than Ms Pam Sanford. Pam Sanford is the name of her grandfather's personal assistant from years ago. The last time she saw Pam was when her grandfather died and the entire family had to come together for his burial. She jumps out of the bed and happily picks up the call. She can't believe that it's Pam! “Oh my God, Ms Pam!” Stacy shrieks. “Oh my sweet darling child!” Pam is so pleased. “How are you doing, Stacy?” “I am fine, Ms Pam, How are you?” she asks.“Fine, my darling. I have been living in the countryside all these years, but I am in the city because guess what?! It's the sixth anniversary of your grandfather's death!” Stacy's hand immediately goes to her chest and her eyes are immediately filled with tear

Just before two hours is done, they are done with the meeting. Gray is more than pleased with himself, he will now head back home to his wife. He glances at his wrist watch as he gets into the car and they start to drive back to the airport. “That was very quick, sir.” William smiles. “I was very time conscious. I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for. It looks like she is making the biggest meal.” Gray smiles and shakes his head. “That's Stacy, she is always taking care of everyone.” They are driving past the protest and Gray looks at the people with concern. He remembers being their savior, the savior that everyone thinks has gone missing, but he is going to save them. Without even showing his identity he will stand up and save them from the terrible president that is ruling them now. They come to a store and Gray asks them to stop. He goes into the shop and decides to buy something for his wif

Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray. He is done with the Generals, he wants to have a secret meeting with Gray now as they walk out of the room, and around the house. William follows him too, walking ahead of the soldiers. He will ref

They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

Each time that Gray thinks that the government has shown him enough incompetence, they show him even a worst display of their stupidity! This is the same man that announced that they should go to war against the country of Deholt, the country that is known to have one of the best military in the world! If Mars was still in the army, it would have been as easy as breaking a thin twing, but now that the Mars is missing, Deholt is going to finish them off in one battle! The president, the stupid coward of a man, he angered the citizens and he has now run to hide in the basement of his mansion? He has never heard something more silly in his life! “Mister Lance, please don't think that the basement sanctuary is just a poorly dug hole in the ground, it's a very luxurious place.” The soldiers assure Gray. “I have only two hours to spend here and I am returning back to Silverview.” Gray glances at his wrist watch. “Take me to the president, right now.” They all get into the elevator and

What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is

Stacy is very disheartened, she can't believe that Gray is taking up such dangerous jobs to be able to provide for them. She makes up her mind that the next time she sees the anonymous trillionaire, she is going to fall on her knees and beg him to have mercy. Gray is the only one who has given her life meaning, she can't afford to lose him. She wakes up early and decides to make some breakfast for Gray and William, but as she is in the kitchen making pancakes, she immediately is attracted by the television. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, the news reaching us from the military headquarters now is that the country of Deholt has attracted the northern part of the army.” Stacy's hand flies to her mouth in shock, she can't believe what's happening now! William and Gray descend the stairs, just waking up too. “Are you guys seeing the news?” Stacy asks with concern. “This is such a misfortune, we just won the last war and for the first time, Westland has had a little bit of pe

Stacy is shaking because all eyes are on her. She doesn't want to get involved in this, because she knows how Wendy behaves, but the ladies start to gesture to her. “Miss, is it true that you know the anonymous trillionaire?” One asks. Stacy lost her tongue for a quick second, but so that she doesn't look stupid in front of these people, she immediately musters the courage to speak up. “Well, yes.” She nods. “My husband and I, we work directly for the anonymous trillionaire!” “So, you know him personally?” “We live in his house!” This amazes everyone in the crowd. “How does one get such a privilege?” “She is so pretty, that's why the anonymous trillionaire chose her and her Mister to live in his house!” Stacy keeps a smile on her face, but she is very nervous. The ladies come to her, trying their best to become friends with her. They snap pictures with her, tagging her on social media and letting everyone know that she is an acquaintance of the anonymous trillionaire! In le
