Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 65
Hearing this, Tilda throws her head back and laughs with reckless abandon. Gray is not laughing, because he means every word of what he said. “You think that your empty threat is going to do anything to me?” She hiss. “My husband works in the biggest bank in the city! He has so many connections and there is nothing you can do!” Mister Swanfield is also trying to deescalate the situation, but he hates the way Gray is getting angry too. “Look, I don't have time for this! Won't you even thank your God and take this money? What nonsense words are coming out of your mouth?” He shouts at Gray. Stacy is shaking as Mister Swanfield starts to get angry at Gray.

Stacy doesn't understand how Gray was able to use soldiers to teach Tilda and Mister Swanfield a bitter lesson. She can't sleep at night, she can't pretend that everything is fine. She thought that they would get in trouble. Surely, the anonymous trillionaire wouldn't like them causing trouble with the neighbors, so how is it that this didn't destroy them?

When he does, she greets him with a plate full of food and a hot cup of coffee. “Good morning, Gray.” She smiles at him. “I know you are going to be famished, so I have prepared a meal for you.” “Wow, thank you my beautiful wife.” He sits down to eat and she does the same. She doesn't have much of an appetite this morning, so she is just having a cup of coffee. She waits for the right, time, before she sighs and starts to speak. “Gray, don't be angry, I just wante

“Let's all get the most beautiful lingerie and surprise our men tonight!” Doris suggests with a laugh. “Ah, I can't. Gray is out of town.” Stacy shakes her head. “There you go, spoiling the fun!” Wendy rolls her eyes. “Should we discard the plan because your husband refused to be home tonight?” “Oh, it's not like that!” Stacy pushes her hair away from her face. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scatter the plan. I will purchase it too, I will just keep it and use it when he comes back…” The happy mood returns and soon, the girls are laughing and picking the colours of their lingerie. “Maybe I can get my man to buy me the car that I want!” Doris stands in front of a mirror as she holds a scanty gown over her body. “Oh, I haven't done this kind of thing with Gray,” Stacy giggles shyly. Wendy keeps sulking at the back, but the girls aren't paying her any attention anymore. They figured out very quickly that she is intentionally trying to ruin the mood, but they won't allow her.

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.

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!

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

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General.

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

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
