Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 240
Melody finds herself chuckling, she can't bring herself to believe this. She looks at all of them, and then bursts into an unbearable fit of laughter. “Hahaha! I knew that this was one huge joke! I knew it! How can the richest man in the world also be the freedom fighter of the country?” She laughs. “There is no way that powerful soldier is you. I'm sorry, but I won't allow myself to be stupid enough to believe it. Alice and William are amused by her stupidity. She is too daft to even think right because if she did, she would know that he is telling the truth. How else can the most wanted soldier be mysterious and undetectable to the government? except he has a bastard amount of money to keep himself under the radar of even the government. of course it's only the richest man in the world! “It's alright, Miss Brody, you don't even need to believe. That's not even why we are here. You assaulted my pregnant wife, and she said that she wishes you were dead, and since I love her so

Melody cannot believe what she has heard. She looks at the passport again, but it only makes her confusion even worse. “But I don't understand. Why do I need a new identity? I already told you that I am sorry. I will turn a new leaf, just let me go.” Gray only chuckles. “You will go alright. But not just home. As we speak, my team is logging you into the records as Agnes Smith, and even booking a ticket for you to travel to the Bermuda islands.” Melody face screws. The Bermuda islands is one of the poorest countries in the world, so why does Gray want her to travel there? “I don't think my father is going to like that very much,” she mutters. “Why can't you just allow me to come home?” “Because the Bermuda islands are going to be your home from now on. You will be left with just enough money to get you through a week, and then you will have to work to earn a living. It's the poorest country in the world, and that means that you will have to work very hard in the mines to save you

“The president has just announced a state of emergency because his daughter has been considered officially missing.” A newscaster says. “It was suspected that Miss Melody Brody sneaked out of the country, so she can't be tracked using her passport. Please, if you have any information about the young lady, the presidency, and the entire Brody family would appreciate it.” Stacy's jaw is on the ground. How can that lady be missing? She remembers when she came here and harassed her and she wished that melody was dead. Did she do this? Did she wish the president's daughter away? Gray comes from the kitchen, dressed formally, all ready for work, but he is holding a cup of tea for her. Stacy smiles, he looks very handsome dressed like that. That's why she got pregnant very fast…“Hey,” he gives her a kiss and drops a special cup of tea in front of her. He has taken it upon himself to work hard everyday and prepare breakfast for her. All she has to do is eat, garden, walk around to exe

Stacy holds her breath, even though she has suddenly started to feel lightheaded. She knows that Gray would never cheat on her, but a woman won't feel her heart once she hears that, even if it's not true. “What are you even saying, Mateo? My husband is not the type to cheat.” She huffs. “Well, the joke is on you. My husband told me that he was going to have a date with a woman the other day, and it was purely business related.”Mateo bursts into a wicked fit of laughter. “Wow, you really put your entire trust in him, but you shouldn't. Your husband was staring deep into her eyes, and I am sure that he has something to do with the disappearance of that girl.” Stacy zips her lips. She is not as shocked at Mateo's accusation of Gray having an affair, than he says Gray has something to do with Melody Brody’s meeting.“Do you know what you are doing?” She asks Mateo with pain. “You are about to destroy my husband's life because you think that he had something to do with that lady, but he

This drops like an earthquake in the room. Alice and Gray look at each other, surely James is not right in the mind. “Mister James, how dare you drink before coming to see the boss?! You should be killed for committing such disrespect!” Alice berates him. James looks over his shoulder, at her. “Miss Yashin, don't be offended, I am not drunk. I have never been more sober in my life, and yes, I want to destroy the de Nicola family mafia.” Gray lets out an exhale and stands up to his feet. “Alice, can you arrange some breakfast for us?” “Yes, boss.” Alice bows and leaves. At this point, James stands up to his feet in fear. “Sir, I swear to you that I am not drunk–” “Cigarette?” Gray pulls his drawer and pulls out his favorite cigarettes. Each stick costs $1000, they are the most expensive cigarettes in the world.” “I…. I haven't smoked in a while, sir.” James admits. “You and I both,” Gray chuckles. He gives a cigarette to James, and even lights it for him. Gray goes down to loo

Gray looks into James’ eyes, looking for the insanity in them, but no. He is doing this with a sound mind. Gray moves the paper closer to him, and he reads through the contract. Gray, if he accepts this, he will become the sole owner of all the businesses, and loyalty attached to the de Nicola name. Ten billion dollars is nearly not enough for it, but James just wants to hit them where he is sure would hurt the most. “James, listen to me, maybe you want to sleep on this for a few days…” “Sign it, please.” James begs, his fingers going through his hair. “I can't sleep another night without knowing what the look would be on their faces.” “You do realize that they are going to hunt you down, right?” James chuckles. “After everything you have taught me, I will be more than capable of taking care of myself.” Gray surprises him and signs the papers without another question. “Done. Make sure to speak to Alice, and I will make sure that your money gets to you before you leave this bui

Why is his wife making this about her when his family is going to shit?!Wendy drops her head into her hands and starts to wail with sorrow. “What have I done to deserve this?! God, why is this happening to me?!” “Shut up, Wendy! Shut up before I kick you out of my goddamn car!” He fires at her. “My family has lost everything they have built for generations and you are trying to make this about you?!” Wendy stops trying so hard to cry. It's true that this news has broken her, but the tears are just for show. She is offended that Mateo doesn't thinks she deserves to cry. How dare him? She is the one who will have to suffer the most! “You think that I shouldn't cry?! Mateo, I gave up everything to become a de Nicola, and you think that I can't cry?!” She asks angrily. “My fucking parents

Mateo feels as if he has been caught in a hard position. He lied the whole time when he told his family that he was friends with the anonymous trillionaire, and now it has blown up in his face. He looks at the desperate face of his parents, and he can't bring himself to confess that he lied this whole time. So, he exhales and holds up his head with pride. “Okay, mum and Dad, I think you should calm down. The last time I heard from the anonymous trillionaire, he was very busy. He probably didn't even know about this, so just wait, I will need a few days to contact him.” The doctor then moves to check on his parents, especially his father, when two officials of the government walk into the room. Their eyes move around the room, and rest on Mateo. “Are you the junior Mister de Nicola?”Mateo frowns and rolls his shoulders. Have they come to fight him? He is prepared to defend himself and his family! “Yes? So what if I am. What do you want me to do for you?” “We need the keys to yo

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.

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

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

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
