Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 24
Alice laughs as more tears drops from her eyes. This is a day that she is not going to forget in a haste. Gray now turns to the salesman and asks for the price. The smile on Tommy's face goes away. It has come to the hard part, maybe they won't want the car after hearing the hefty price. “Sir, this is a very expensive car, like I have said many times. It's forty.” He says. “Forty thousand?” Alice asks. “Million, miss. It's worth forty million dollars.” He corrects her. Alice's heart sinks to the ground immediately. What was she even thinking? This car is way above her. There is no reason for Gray to splash so much money on a car for her. She is after all, nothing but his worker. She drops her head as she sighs. “It's okay, sir, you don't have to buy this car for me. It's too expensive. I can buy a smaller one.” Alice shrugs. “I am thankful for the fact that you even offered to buy it for me.” But Gray snorts as he takes out a card from his pocket. “Nonsense. The car is your

He laughs in his heart because he will take the money and buy himself a good bottle of beer at the end of the month! “You want to gamble with your salary, go on.” Mister Smith says with a grin. “Promise me that I will get the bonus if I sell the car.” Tommy begs. “I will get the bonus.” Mister Smith snorts. There is a way that this man is going to be able to afford this car. Look at their poor clothes. So, he thrusts the machine to Tommy. Tommy looks at Gray, who gives him an encouraging nod. “Go on, boy. You think that this is a good bargain? Let's see how far your faith takes you.” Tommy mutters a prayer as he swipes the card. If this doesn't work, his mother might not get the money to even buy her drugs by the end of the month. He wills this to work with all his might. His ey

Mister Smith jaw drops to the ground. He can't believe that he fumbled the biggest deal he would have made in his lifetime! He passed the deal to the clumsy teenager! Tommy is still jumping around, thanking God for giving him this great blessing. He goes to Gray and kneels down in front of him, and starts to thank him for changing his life. “Thank you! I am just nineteen years old, but this money is going to change my life!” Tommy has tears in his eyes. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” Mister Smith looks very uncomfortable. He pulls Tommy up and tells him to put himself together. He is just jealous of Tommy and his sudden success. “We are just very respectful to our customers,” Mister Smith laughs. “I taught him well. In Fact, I told him to treat you very well when he came to my office. I just had a good feeling around you.” Gary exhales because he is tired of hearing Mister Smith's bullshit. He glances at his wrist watch as he turns to Tommy. “Grab the paperwork, boy.” He ins

Alice doesn't leave the desk, she will try her best to talk sense until this dumb girl! “Listen, it's not nice that you left us unattended while you giggled away on your phone,” Alice says. “The best you can do right now is pick up the phone, call the bloody manager and tell him that Mister Lance wants to see him!” The receptionist looks at Alice from her head to her toes. Who is this lady that thinks that she can speak to her the way she likes? “Girl, you can't come to my place of work and tell me how to do things!” The receptionist huffs. “come back another day and if it's not good enough for you, come back another day.” Alice slaps her hand loud

Everyone goes silent immediately, did they hear correctly? The rude receptionist, she thinks that the manager misspoke. She grabs the telephone back and speaks loudly. “I think you are mistaken, Mister manager. This is not the boss. No, this is just a beggar that walked in to beg.” Her colleagues are discussing very loudly. They too want to know if she was wrong, if this man is their boss. “Miss Cavill, please return the phone to the man. Sir, did you say your name is Gray Lance?” The general manager asks again, everyone can hear the fear in his voice. “Yes, that's right.” Gray nods. Every starts to loudly talk to each other. The receptionist's face turns white and she starts to shake. Has she committed the biggest mistake of her life? She starts to nervously laugh as she takes the phone back. “General manager, this doesn't mean anything. Gray Lance is a very popular name, you can't believe that this beggar is the big boss that we have all been waiting for!” “Everyone should

Please, I will not disrespect him again! I will apologize to the richest man!” The other works looks on wth terror in their eyes. If they had doubted Gray's ownership now, they don't. Alice smiles and waves the rude girl away. “Have fun in the military prison! I am sure you will shake with fear once you hear his name ever again!” Immediately they have taken the receptionist again, Mister Gilbert turns to his colleagues that didn't even know when their boss walked in. “Bow to the big boss immediately!” He roars. Everyone bows their head to the ground. It's such a sight to see.

“This is the wildest thing I have ever seen in my life! Gray is cheating on his wife!” Mateo chuckles. “What the fuck is wrong with you? I thought that you were a saint or something!” Gray sighs and runs his hand through his hair. Mateo has totally misunderstood this, but he won't even allow Gray to open his mouth to speak, before he starts to talk again. “I never thought I would find you in a compromising position like this.” He shakes his head. Melody is taken aback. She is not the richest man in the world, she is just the president's daughter, but she won't want anyone to speak to her like this! “Gray, are we listening to the same thing? Are you going to allow this man to speak to you like this?” She scoffs. “You are the richest man in the world and you are going to stand by and watch this?” Mateo almost falls over with laughter. He laughs so hard that he is bent, holding his belly. “Hahaha! That's what he told you? He lied to you that he is the anonymous trillionaire becau

Suddenly, Gray's throat constricts, and he can't even bring the champagne to pass down his throat. That's how angry he is. He has just realized that melody is just as crazy as her father. There is a small chance that she might be a tad crazier…When Melody sees the look of shock on his face, she chuckles with amusement. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “You just suggested that I kill my child.” He mutters. "Or seperate my child from it's mother to give to you. she flips her hair back with nonchalance. “I'm committed like that, and besides, I will give you an even better child. I have a wickedly high IQ, imagine how super your child will be.” They haven't even been twenty minutes into the date and she is doing this? This just shows the kind of person that she is….Gray takes a napkin and wipe the corners of his lips. “Yeah, that's not going to work. I really love my pregnant wife, and she and I are endgame.” “Hm.” Melody looks at him. “You and I are going to get along ver

If there is something worse than being the son-in-law of the Blanchard family, it's being the son-in-law of the president. Gray has no interest in marrying the president's daughter, he is very happy being married to Stacy, and she is pregnant with their first child for Christ’s sake. He is surprised that the president is throwing his daughter like a piece of meat at him, even when he clearly doesn't want her. “Come on, Mister Lance, you are not saying anything. My daughter is very beautiful and she has a nice shape.” “I assume she is, Mister president, but my… partner and I are very committed to each other…” “You are going to change your mind when you see my daughter, I promise you.” The president winks. “If she wasn't my daughter, maybe I would have gotten with her too.” Alice and Gray look at each other, they can't believe what they have heard. “Eleven o'clock, tonight?” The president walks into the elevator. “Um, sir –” “It's a date, then!” The elevator door closes and

This is an entire irony for Gray, that the president is promising to make him the most powerful man in the world. He thinks that it's so ridiculous, that he laughs out loud. The president laughs. “You think that I can't do that, Mister Lance?” “More like why would you want to do that? Being the most powerful man in the world, I would assume that you wanted to keep that position for yourself.” The president throws his head back and laughs. “I am already powerful, Westland is the most powerful nation in the world, and I want you to get to taste my level of power. Being rich and so powerful, do you know how unstoppable you will be?” Gray looks at him with a small smile on his face. “How do I know that I can trust you, mister president? It was just weeks ago that you had a grudge against me because of the award given to me by the world union.” “Ahhh,” the president laughs and waves it off. “That was like a century ago, we are gentlemen and I am sure that we can put our differences

Alice hasn't gotten over the surprise of suddenly seeing him in the meeting room, when he raises a glass and hands it to the president. The president smiles, raises the glass in the air, before drinking out of it. “Such a calm place you have got here.” “Right? Not many people are allowed to make it this far, to this floor. It has all the privacy one can wish for.” “Yes, the entire privacy needed to stay away from that terrorist called the Mars.” The president mutters. Alice suddenly feels her hands stiffens against her side. She looks slowly at Gray, he is taking it better than her. “That's very terrible, I heard what happened.” “Crazy, that's the only word for it.” The president nods. “Half of the people think that I'm being incompetent and scared, but the bastard that won't even dare show his face is the incompetent one!” Gray nods in agreement. He picks up a glass of his own and takes a seat. The president joins him. “That's why I have come here, because I think that you ca

Alice is running around in her high heels. This is a nightmare, this is a freaking bad dream! The president is coming to see the anonymous trillionaire uninvited, and he has refused to be turned away! She has less than thirty minutes to get everyone ready, not just to receive the president of the country of Westland, but also an impromptu visit from the anonymous trillionaire. Calls, preparing refreshments, it's almost too much for her that when she takes a turn to the left, she bumps into someone and almost loses her balance. Thank God the person is quick enough to catch her. It's William, thank God he came back as soon as he delivered the message to Gray. “Are you okay?” William asks her. “I'm not, he is mad at me.” She pushes her hair away from her face. “I don't think he has ever been this angry with me.” She holds her hand over her face, and he feels pity for her. “Do you need me to do anything?” He asks. “I can help, you know. I'm not just good at shooting guns.” She s

Stacy suddenly loses what is left of her appetite as she sees the gory images on the television. She doesn't know when she drops her plate of breakfast and starts to rush to the bathroom to throw up. She is bent over the toilet bowl, and pouring the contents of her stomach out. She feels like she is going to die, but then she feels some gentle fingers going through her hair, and rubbing her back while she throws up. She opens her weak eyes to see that it's Gray. She is so weak, but she manages to press her face into his shirt after wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She is so tired. He strokes her hair as he flushed the toilet. “I told you to stop watching the news, Stacy.” He mutters. “I told you that there is nothing good on the news nowadays.” “I just… I didn't know that the Mars would kill the Generals like that in the airport. It's a horrible sight.” She shakes her head. “I know that they are evil people, but I can't help but feel sorry for them.” Gray sighs and h

All the Generals of Westland are dead, throwing the president into a fit of rage and sorrow. He calls for a press briefing and for ten minutes straight, the whole nation watches as the president cries his heart out on live national TV. How can he not cry like a kid that dropped their ice cream in a park? He just lost the leaders of his army! He blows his nose into his handkerchief and shakes his head when one of his assistants offers him to quit and do this on a later date. “No, the world needs to know what the Mars has been doing! It's safe to say that the masked man has turned into a terrorist!” He yells into the microphone. “Do you all hear me? Your hero has turned into a terrorist! He killed the Generals of the army like they were nothing, and what does that tell you people? That this country is under attack!” The journalists look at each other, before leaning forward even more. “Mister president, can you speak about the news that the Generals were found with questionable

William almost drops a few tears when Gray told him that. He gets to kill those good for nothing sons of bitches?! “Yes, sir! Are you kidding me?! I will be the happiest person to be the one to kill all those wicked men!” William rejoices. He is so happy that he doesn't even know when he hugs his boss! Gray doesn't take offence to this, he knows that William is just being happy! William wipes the tears from his face. “William, look at me, this is the most serious thing that you have ever done in your life, are you sure that you can do it?” Gray asks. “Yes, sir, I can do it! I will use everything that I have to make sure that this is done well!” William says. But Gray is still very serious, he places a hand on William's shoulder. “You are going to put on my uniform, you are going to wear my mask, and you are going to kill all of them. Is this too much pressure for you? Tell me, and I will get someone else to handle it…” Williams lips parts. Will he get to wear the Mars' uniform?
