2024-10-29 19:42:56"What are you saying? How dare you insult us?" Caroline nearly exploded in anger.
"You might not be aware of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. Just so you know, its market value exceeds a hundred thousand billion USD, making it the strongest enterprise in Lightharbor. Any family could reach the pinnacle of success if they could establish even a small connection with Pinnacle Dynamics!"
"So many families bow down to Pinnacle Dynamics, for it is the emperor of this city's entire business world!"
"Why bother talking to this loser? He's never even looked at the world around him. Do you expect him to understand?" Chase commented dismissively.
"Hmph, maybe that's true. He came to my birthday celebration without even a gift, how could he possibly understand the importance of Pinnacle Dynamics?" Mrs. Harris finally spoke up.
"Grandmother, I do have a gift. It's about to be delivered." Anderson said, then communicated with the system in his mind: "Is my gift arriving soon?"
"In about five minutes. It's the Aurora Luxe necklace from Eclipse Prestige, worth 200 million dollars."
"Alright." Anderson replied briefly, then looked towards Lauren's grandmother and the others.
Conrad, with a look of disdain, said: "If you don't have a gift, just say so. Why try so hard? Unlike me, I can give grandmother a contract with Pinnacle Dynamics. Can you do that?"
Anderson remained silent. According to the system's analysis displayed on the screen, the commission from this contract after completing the project was less than fifty million dollars, nothing compared to his necklace.
"Just five minutes, can't you all wait? My gift will be delivered shortly."
"Hmph, let's see what kind of gift you could possibly have. Don't bring some cheap stuff and ruin my happy day." Mrs. Harris said, clearly displeased.
Meanwhile, Lauren tugged at Anderson's hand, whispering in his ear: "What are you gifting grandmother? Please don't cause a scene!"
"It's the Aurora Luxe necklace from Eclipse Prestige, about two hundred million dollars." Anderson spoke the truth.
But Lauren's eyes widened in shock, and she squeezed his hand tightly: "Stop lying, you can't afford that! Are you giving grandmother a fake? What will we do if she finds out...?"
Anderson frowned, wondering why even his wife didn't believe him? Although he had become impoverished after bankruptcy, he had never been useless. He worked hard every day, never letting her want for anything, even if he couldn't provide a life of luxury like others.
“You…” But before Anderson could finish, someone entered from outside, carrying a gift box that seemed quite small in comparison to what the guests were expecting, prompting them to burst into laughter.
“So this is the esteemed gift from your son-in-law? A present barely larger than a hand?” Chase looked over at Chandler, contempt clear on his face.
Conrad chimed in with scorn: "A poor man can only afford such a small gift. Let’s see, what is it?”
As soon as Conrad finished speaking, Caroline hurried forward to the delivery man, dressed in a very formal vest – a sign of the times even couriers were stylish. She extended her hand to take the gift box, but the delivery man stopped her.
“Excuse me, miss, only the person who ordered can receive this. May I ask, who here is Mr. Anderson?”
“It’s me.” Anderson stepped forward to identify himself but suddenly stopped.
The delivery man was momentarily taken aback, about to say something when Anderson spoke first: "Once you’ve delivered it, leave quickly and don’t bother me.”
The delivery man clenched his jaw. He was Gregory Thompson, known in Lightharbor for his current role but also as a celebrated deputy commander from the Unicorn's Emergence region. He was on a mission in Lightharbor to find a war god who had deserted his unit. Following every lead, his last known location was this city. Thus, Gregory had established a jewelry corporation here, placing many eyes and ears to find this war god.
What Gregory had not anticipated was that this glorified war god would be the infamous useless son-in-law of the Harris family. Gregory couldn't believe he had overlooked such a notable figure, never imagining the hero would end up a ridiculed nonentity.
And now, General Campbell, the war god, was asking him not to disturb, making it seem to the uninformed that he was intruding on the party. But Gregory knew General Campbell had recognized him and wanted him not to disturb this new life.
Gregory didn’t dare act out of line and reluctantly complied. Since receiving the direct order to make this delivery, he had sensed something unusual, never expecting to actually meet Campbell. His current priority was to assist the war god and contact him later.
He bowed and handed a pen to Anderson: "The Aurora Luxe necklace comes with a QR code on the box lid for authenticity verification. Please inspect and sign. Eclipse Prestige jewelry is honored to serve you.”
“What? The Aurora Luxe necklace from Eclipse Prestige? Am I hearing this right?” Caroline exclaimed in shock.
Sofia then said: "I heard that the cheapest jewelry at Eclipse Prestige costs over a hundred million, so how much is Aurora Luxe?"
"Aurora Luxe is a newly launched necklace design last week, worth up to two hundred million dollars!" Caroline replied to her mother, her expression one of disbelief.
"No surprise there, it must be fake." Conrad said, his tone clearly jealous.
At this point, everyone regained their composure, and Lauren also tugged at Anderson's hand: "Do you see the joke you've made of yourself? This is outrageous!"
"Don't worry, that necklace is real." Anderson whispered. Whether the necklace was real or fake, couldn't it be verified with a QR code scan? Why bother arguing over it?
"A dog will always be a dog, never a phoenix. Daring to bring a fake item to celebrate my birthday. Anderson, you should quickly sign the divorce papers with Lauren and then get out of the Harris house!"
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with Lauren's parents not knowing where to hide their faces as their son-in-law brought a fake item for Mrs. Harris' celebration. Lauren was no better off; if Anderson insisted on staying, the situation couldn't be salvaged. Why would he dare to bring a fake gift?
"Real or fake, it can be easily checked with a QR code scan." Anderson said calmly: "Besides, here is an employee of Eclipse Prestige. Isn't it necessary to ask whether the necklace is real or fake?"
"Who knows if you just hired someone off the street to pose as an employee of Eclipse Prestige, QR codes can also be easily faked!" Conrad stubbornly refused to believe.
Others joined in.
"Right, how could a bankrupt person like you afford such a luxury item from Eclipse Prestige?"
"Don't even mention Eclipse Prestige, even a ring from a small jewelry store might be out of your reach."
"Exactly, what nonsense, ha ha ha."

The attitude of the partygoers became increasingly outrageous. Gregory couldn't stand the snobbish and disdainful attitude of the crowd and handed the jewelry box to Anderson, saying: "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Gregory Thompson, CEO of the Eclipse Prestige branch in Lightharbor city. Since Young Master Anderson purchased the Aurora Luxe necklace and paid immediately, I had to arrange for a quick delivery. Furthermore, as Young Master Anderson is an acquaintance of the chairman, I came to deliver and receive the item." "Alright, no need to say more. I've signed and confirmed it, you can go back." Anderson emphasized sternly, as if scolding Gregory for talking too much. Gregory, realizing he had intervened too much, quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master Anderson." Gregory Thompson finished speaking and turned to leave. At that moment, a chilling silence enveloped the room, everyone present was stunned. It took them a while to recover from their astonishment.

Lauren's brilliance had always overshadowed her since childhood, and as Lauren was always more beloved by their grandfather, Caroline harbored jealousy and hatred towards her sister. It was only a year ago that Lauren had to marry Anderson, a poor and useless man from a bankrupt family, and with their grandpa's death, Lauren's status in the family declined, giving Caroline a chance to seize the spotlight. "It depends on who the owner is. Even if Anderson were a dog, he would still be my dog. It's not your place to lecture him!" Lauren retorted. Anderson looked at Lauren in surprise. It was the first time in three years she had taken his side. Although her words were not pleasant, Anderson was deeply moved. "Oh, look at the owner of the dog, we have to see if the owner's status is worth showing up for!" Caroline, having just signed a lucrative contract, didn't bother to consider Lauren's feelings. "You..." Lauren, angry, her face flushed with emotion. "Alright, it was just an accid

After a while, everyone regained their composure and burst into laughter. "What's this joke now? He alone plans to organize a wedding?" "Wow, I bet he'll slaughter a huge cow for his wedding, I'm already drooling at the thought!" "The poor thing can't even afford a wedding ring, yet dares to say he'll organize a wedding a hundred times grander than ours?" "Just look, Lauren has been married for so long, but she doesn't even have a wedding ring to wear." "She'll become a bride again, just divorce this useless man and marry someone else. She's so beautiful, she'll definitely have opportunities. Otherwise, she'll just wait for the rest of her life." "By the way, my boss, Young Master Miller, has long fancied Lauren. If she really wants to be a bride, she can divorce him and remarry Young Master Miller." Conrad mocked and pointed towards Young Master, who had just invited Ye Tao for a drink. Hearing everyone's scornful laughter, Lauren's face turned red, then pale, and she wanted to

Lauren was so angry she was speechless. The man who couldn’t even pay his phone bill was boasting about organizing a grand wedding in Lightharbor? Without a word, she angrily handed her phone to Anderson. He took the mobile, went to a corner, and dialed a number listed by the system. This was the number of Fernando Lewis, his grandfather, and also one of the top three most powerful people in the country. Not to mention a small city like Lightharbor, even the whole country could be easily influenced with just a flick of his hand. Meanwhile, at the Lewis residence in Rose Quay city. A man in his seventies was leisurely reviewing a list, appearing both relaxed and dignified. This man was Fernando Lewis, the head of the Lewis family, and a significant influencer in Ivory Essence. Suddenly, his phone rang. He was quite surprised, as no one had called this mobile number in recent years. He only kept it in the hope that his daughter, who had been missing for over twenty-five years, might

"No need, I want to take things slowly. If I suddenly stand too high, it won't win people's hearts." Anderson said. "Alright, tomorrow, you will surely become the chairman of that corporation." Mr. Lewis said. For people like Mr. Lewis, with global achievements, even if his grandson wanted the entire city of Lightharbor, it wouldn't be a problem. But surprisingly, he only wanted a small corporation! "Second, on the 14th of this month, prepare a grand wedding for me in Lightharbor." Anderson began stating his second condition. “Who are you marrying?” "Three years ago, when I got married, it's a pity I didn’t have a wedding then. The 14th this month is my anniversary with Lauren Harris. I want her to be truly happy that day, so I will organize a wedding for her." Anderson said. "Can I attend then?" Mr. Lewis asked, appearing smaller and more humble than ever. It was evident that even a boss like him could seem so diminished in front of his grandson, clearly showing his deep love fo
I Am Not Useless Son-In-Law! Chapter 10: Underestimated At Corporate Entrance.
The next morning, a sensational piece of news spread through Lightharbor City. Pinnacle Dynamics, the largest corporation in Lightharbor, had been acquired by a mysterious owner for a staggering price of 100 billion USD! Pinnacle Dynamics underwent a change of ownership, with the original chairman stepping down and handing over the company to a young talent. This news set off a buzz throughout Lightharbor, with all the major families speculating about the identity of this business giant. When Anderson woke up, he received a message from his grandfather saying that everything had been arranged smoothly and asking him to take over Pinnacle Dynamics. The night before, after buying a new phone, he had sent a message to Mr. Lewis about this new number, so it was not surprising to receive a text from him. But the fact that a seventy-year-old man texted instead of calling showed a certain distance, unfamiliarity with this grandson who had fallen from the sky. Anderson didn't rush to take
I Am Not Useless Son-In-Law! Chapter 11: Termination And Contract Cancellation.
The President's office of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation is situated on the top floor, and Anderson took the direct elevator to the topmost level. Upon the elevator doors opening, Anderson immediately saw a woman of elegant demeanor, porcelain skin, a tall and slender figure standing beautifully outside the elevator, waiting. This woman was Hannah Allen, the CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics. Fernando Lewis had previously informed Hannah Allen, the CEO, that the new President wished to keep his identity secret and didn't want it widely known, so top personnel should not be present. Only Hannah was waiting on the top floor for the new President's arrival, having waited for quite some time. When Anderson emerged from the elevator, she was momentarily stunned. She had never imagined that the new President of Pinnacle Dynamics would be the notoriously useless son-in-law of the Harris family! She had made numerous guesses about this mysterious new mogul, but Anderson? He was someone with no good re

What Everett valued wasn't the salary of the Director of Project Development, but the influence and status of this position! Never underestimate the power of this managerial role, as its potential could bring limitless benefits to his family. Whenever Pinnacle Dynamics had any new projects, he could prioritize his own family. It's fair to say that being ranked at the top among the major families of Lightharbor was closely related to his position. At last night's party, the people from the Harris family were right. Any family could soar high if they had even a small connection with Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. How many families had to bow before Pinnacle Dynamics, the emperor of Lightharbor's business district? Now, with Everett removed from his position and Pinnacle Dynamics suspending cooperation with the Lopez family, how could he not be devastated? And the reason for his dismissal was just because he had signed a contract with the Harris family, and his grandson had insulted

But Anderson quickly waved his hand to cut him off: "Enough! No need to discuss it further! I've made my decision. Just follow it!""Understood, General Campbell!" Gregory had no choice but to comply with Anderson's plan."Moreover, to catch the big fish, I can't let anyone find out my true identity. So, tell the task force to alter my personal records." Anderson said."What exactly should we do, sir?" Gregory asked, frowning."It's not complicated, just ask the higher-ups to encrypt my information at the highest level and only show on the public records that I'm a regular special forces soldier." Anderson explained."Got it! I'll get right on it."

Gregory explained."So, it's about that. But I'm just a man who's been at war all year round, what does that have to do with me?" Anderson asked."It does! It's directly related to you.

Anderson almost fell over backward, shocked that his kind and gentle Lauren could entertain such violent thoughts!"You're even considering hiring the underworld?" Anderson couldn't believe his ears."It's just a plan, don't shout about it!" Lauren whispered, regretting her slip of the tongue."The underworld or hired goons are unreliable, don't be deceived by them." Anderson said, starting to sweat. The Sentry Dragon Warrior was right in front of her, and she was still thinking of hiring assassins?"I'm just worried that if you keep acting rashly like you did this afternoon, you'll find yourself in danger sooner or later. Hiring assassins is the best way to both get revenge and avoid those bad situations." Lauren argued, clearly unhappy with Anderson's disapproval."Don't worry about revenge. This place is full of villains. You never know when you might be deceived. Hiring assassins really isn't a good idea!" Anderson said calmly."Fine! Then I won't interfere in this matter anymore.
