Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 37
Stacy's jaw is on the ground. She has known Gray, as her cousin's husband, but she has never really had a thought behind that. During the wedding, though, she was a little bit down because for a slight moment, she felt like a failure because her cousin found love and she hadn't. Regardless, she was happy for her cousin. Fast forwarding now to the present day, that man she felt made her cousin so lucky, that man is asking her to marry him. Gray is handsome, very handsome to see. Stacy is very beautiful too. She has these almond shaped eyes that seem to be thinking all the time. Because of the failure that her family suffered, she now suffers from low self esteem. She doesn't think that Gray should be with someone as wretched as she is. “You should be with someone like me,” Stacy shakes her head with tears in her eyes. “I can't do anything for you. I have bad luck, my whole family died. I'm in a bad place right now.” “I'm in a bad place too,” Gray tells her in a calm voice. “But i

Wendy, seeing that her brother has pulled a fast one on Gray, starts to laugh with him. “Oh, there is no way that he will be able to afford that. Look at his shoes, they are so cheap but he can't even replace them!” Wendy laughs. “How can I be able to afford a bride price of such an amount?” Stacy sighs and drops her head into her hands. Her eyes are quickly filled with tears, but she brushes it away. What was she even thinking in the first place? That the Blanchards are going to allow her to go just like that? “You know what, Gray? Just forget about it. It's not worth it.” She exhales. “Dan is asking you for twenty million as bride price, but I owe them ten million. I am not worth the trouble, thank you for trying to help me.” Wendy chuckles when she sees the pain in her cousin's eyes. She loves every bit of it. “Look at you, such a sad girl! Go and clean my Gucci shoes, I have a party to attend!” Gray looks up with a look of new hope in his eyes. He looks at Stacy and he kno

The truth is that Gray would have gotten that money by just the snap of his fingers, but Dan Blanchard dared him to get a loan without the help of the Gray corporation, so that's what he is going to do. So, just like that, he goes to the silver line bank in the heart of the city. He didn't choose any random bank, no, he chose a small bank that is affiliated to the Gray corporation.

The manager sees that Gray is not pleased with what he has said, he laughs shortly and leans forward with a cheeky smile. “Let me be real with you, Mister Lance. Nothing is free, not even a loan. You are supposed to think of this as a favour, because you don't tick all the criteria on the list.” “What is the criterion that I haven't fulfilled? Tell me!” Gray asks with annoyance. “I already told you that I have an account here.” “Come on my friend. What's the use of checking the account? I know that it's less than a hundred dollars,” the man snickers. The man smiles, thinking that he is the smartest person in the world. “Don't teach me how to do my job, Mister. You look like a good man, I want to make things easy for you.” He says. “That's the way that this will go. I will approve the loan immediately, but I have a fee and that's one million dollars.” Gray grunts and looks away. This has got to be the most stupid thing that he has heard in a long time. “Why would I give you one

She sees him coming out, he still has blood coming out of his ear, he is fuming. He can't believe that the poor man embarrassed him by putting his hands on him. “Don't tell me that you allowed that man to escape!” He warns her. “No, sir, he is still in the office,” she tells him. “Good.” The manager nods with satisfaction. “The police are going to teach him a very bitter lesson. I will lock him up for years!” The secretary is confused. She thinks that the man that her boss is trying to arrest, just called the big boss. She thinks that she should tell him. “Sir, I think you should take that man's id and confirm who he is. I might be wrong, but I

The cameras? Oh, Mister Gilbert knows that he is going to be completely finished if his boss decides to check the cameras.

The devil asked me to do it! Please, forgive me sir! I will never do anything to hurt my cousin!” Aaron Spears is more than furious at this point. After everything he did for his stupid cousin, this man decided to reward him with such evil? “Gilbert, you should be a big idiot if you think I am ever going to trust you again!” He blasts him. “Not only did you steal from me, you embarrassed me in front of the richest man in the city!” Gilbert face is covered with tears of regret. Maybe if he didn't ask this particular man for a bribe, maybe he won't be into this pit of trouble. How was he supposed to know that the simply dressed man is the richest in the world? Oh, and his

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 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

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
