last update Last Updated: 2024-11-09 18:36:07

After a brief discussion, Joseph, Detective Mia, and Maudy agreed to leave the beach and find a place to stay.

A small hotel on the edge of town seemed secluded enough and unlikely to attract attention. They stopped there, ensuring no one had followed them, before finally entering the hotel.

Joseph glanced at his phone, seeing photos of himself circulating as a major news topic on social media. Detective Mia and Maudy sat across from him, both quiet, trying to process the rapidly changing situation.

Mia sighed heavily, her sharp gaze fixed on Joseph. “If we stay here, we’ll really become the main target for the police. We need to move quickly.”

“We need a safe place first,” Maudy added, looking out the car window. The sky was getting dark, and the place felt increasingly deserted.

“Yeah,” Mia half-whispered. “We can’t stay near this area for long. The police could arrive at any time.”

Joseph sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes still fixed on his constantly ringing phone.

    Joseph, Maudy, and Detective Mia returned to the hotel. After closing the hotel room door, they quickly gathered in the living area to discuss. Joseph looked at Maudy and Mia, his expression serious. “We can’t just barge into Miranda’s mansion without preparation,” Joseph said. “There are too many things to consider, especially with both of you here. I won’t put you in danger.” Maudy nodded, while Mia let out a long sigh. “I agree. We need a solid plan. Miranda isn’t someone to be taken lightly, and she’s likely got tight security at that mansion.” “We need more information about the mansion’s interior,” Joseph continued. “I’ll contact our project team. Maybe they can help identify any security systems that might be there.” As the night wore on, Joseph contacted his project team via video call. One by one, familiar faces appeared on the screen. “Thank you all for joining,” Joseph said, getting straight to the point. “We’re facing a complicated situation. We visited Miranda’s

    "Have you really thought this through? Young Master... this is extremely dangerous. Don’t be reckless," said Gawali, sounding deeply worried. Joseph chuckled softly, showing no sign of hesitation. "I’ve faced worse than Miranda. If she thinks she can bring me down with false accusations and make me afraid, she’s sorely mistaken." "This isn’t about bravery, Young Master," Gawali replied, his voice growing more resolute. "Mr. Thalib entrusted me with your safety. You’re the only heir to the Guezz family. Losing you is simply unacceptable." “Let me send some of my men; they can protect you. You know Miranda has many people on her side,” Gawali added. Joseph gazed out the hotel window and took a long, patient breath. "I appreciate your concern, Gawali, but I don’t need anyone’s protection. Miranda crossed a line, and I’ll handle this myself first." “Young Master, I understand your anger towards Miranda… but please, think it over. Think about your family—Mr. Thalib specifically t

    Five minutes later, the sound of light footsteps could be heard from the direction of the stairs. Miranda, still wearing her silk pajamas, descended gracefully, her face masked with a soft yet unreadable smile. When her gaze met the unfamiliar figure sitting with an arrogant posture in her living room, Miranda feigned ignorance, pretending not to recognize who the man was. “Oh,” she said softly, tilting her head as if curious, “I didn’t know we had a guest this morning.” She walked closer, standing in front of Joseph with a deliberately attentive demeanor. “What brings you here, Sir? And why did you enter my house so... boldly?” Joseph raised an eyebrow slightly, a smirk tugging at his lips. Without a word, he poured wine into a second glass, then slid it slowly towards Miranda. “Don’t pretend you don’t know, your acting is quite obvious to me,” he said, his voice low yet authoritative. “Haven’t you been trying hard to find out about me?” Joseph paused, enjoying the faint

  • I AM NOT A POOR SON-IN-LAW   CHAPTER 810-ABOUT THE NEWS

    After Joseph left the house, Miranda stood in the center of the grand hall, her face livid. In a cold voice, almost a whisper yet filled with threat, she called all the servants and guards inside. "Absolutely useless!" Miranda glared at them sharply, her expression terrifying. "How could you let that man get in so easily?! Are none of you fit to work here?!" One of the servants tried to explain, his voice trembling. "I’m sorry, Madam... but that man was too strong. He overpowered all the guards outside. We—” “Shut up!” Miranda cut him off sharply, her tone seething with anger. “I don’t care about your excuses. All the guards and security in this house should be able to handle a single man! What were you doing?!” The servants and guards lowered their heads, none daring to meet her gaze. Miranda took a deep breath, her expression filled with disgust, then continued, “Listen carefully. If there’s another mistake like this, you will all be replaced, one by one! I will not allow a

    In an opulent living room with a classic interior and expensive furnishings... A woman in an elegant gown, Miranda, is seated on the sofa, her face betraying a tension she cannot hide. Charles enters the room with a calm stride. He looks at Miranda sharply, then sits in a chair opposite her. With a flat tone, Charles asks, "What happened today? I received reports of a disturbance at your mansion." Miranda takes a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself before speaking. "Joseph," she says with a trembling voice, "He broke into my mansion this morning. He overpowered all my men without mercy." Charles scoffs, leaning back in his chair. "He came, and he brought a threat. He said we need to surrender, to shut down the remote system we’re using to sabotage his project," Miranda continued. "He’s serious this time, Charles. He even threatened me, saying if I don’t back down, he’ll bring us to war." Charles’ voice turns mocking. "War? Does he forget who he’s challenging?"

  • I AM NOT A POOR SON-IN-LAW   CHAPTER 812-AN INVITATION

    In a luxurious hotel suite, Joseph stood by a large window overlooking the sparkling city skyline. It was late at night, but his mind was still filled with plans and strategies. His phone vibrated, and the screen displayed a familiar name: Professor Rowan. “Professor,” Joseph greeted, answering the call in a flat tone. “Any new developments?” The firm voice of Professor Rowan came through the line. “Mr. Joseph, I have an important report. We’ve rechecked the project device system, and... Miranda’s connection is still active. The sabotage is ongoing.” Joseph fell silent for a moment, his expression turning cold. He closed his eyes, trying to suppress the boiling anger within him. Just yesterday, he had warned Miranda to cut off that connection. But it seemed she had not only ignored his warning but had chosen to challenge him instead. “So, she still dares to defy me,” Joseph muttered to himself. “I warned her.” Joseph clenched his jaw, staring out the window with a piercing

    The next day, Joseph arrived at Miranda's luxurious mansion. Outside, the building was adorned with crystal lights that radiated opulence. Jacky accompanied Joseph to the main entrance, but there, a security guard dressed in a neat uniform politely stopped them. “Sorry, Sir,” the guard said with a respectful bow toward Joseph. “Only guests with invitation cards are allowed inside.” Jacky glanced at Joseph with concern. “Let me come in with you. I want to protect you, Boss.” Joseph gave a slight smile, handing his golden invitation card to the guard. “I don’t need protection, Jacky. You know that.” “But—” Jacky tried to protest, but Joseph raised his hand. “Wait outside,” Joseph ordered, his tone cold but firm. “Stay in position and make sure our men are ready if I signal. I’ll be fine.” Jacky nodded, though it was clear he was still worried. “All right. We’ll keep watch around the perimeter. Don’t hesitate to call us if anything happens, Boss.” “Trust me,” Joseph repli

    Charles finally stopped. He leaned back in his chair, then stared at Joseph intently with a haughty smile. “If you really want to continue with that project, then you’ll have to work with us. We—the ones in this global elite network—will take a share of the profits. Fifty percent for us, and fifty percent for you.” Joseph listened calmly, his expression remaining neutral, showing not the slightest hint of an emotional reaction. “And if you’re thinking about refusing,” Charles continued, narrowing his eyes, “then I’m ready to go to war with you until one of us is dead—just as you want.” “You may have won many battles against powerful noble families in various countries. But the global elite… We’re different. We are a force that you cannot simply defeat!" Charles sneered, reinforcing his point. A few men around him nodded in agreement, as if Charles’s words were an undeniable truth. Charles then leaned forward, his face only inches from Joseph’s. “You should know who your op

    In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w

    Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram

    CHAPTER 843-IN THE DARKNESS

    Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t

    The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full

    The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his

    In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro

    CHAPTER 839-WALK INTO THE BUSHES

    Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo

    Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders

    CHAPTER 837-BIG SECRET

    The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
