I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 35: "Business Management"
Marcus scrutinized CEO Carlo Roki from head to toe, observing his posture as Carlo maintained his bowing position, awaiting Marcus's response."I heard your younger son is running for office," Marcus remarked, unsure if Carlo's request was genuine or a prank."Yes, he's running for mayor," Carlo confirmed, straightening his posture with determination evident in his demeanor."Mayor? Does that mean you'll be challenging Jeyster Sebastian?" Marcus inquired."Jeyster is running?" Carlo exclaimed, his fists clenched tightly at the revelation, absorbing more useful information from Marcus."Is that not public knowledge yet?" Marcus pondered, recalling Lucretia's penchant for gossip and her reputation as the family's informant for juicy drama."I need to be cautious here. Those skilled in gossip may uncover my job doubling the son-in-law," Marcus thought to himself, internally noting the need for discretion."No, his candidacy hasn't been announced publicly. And if I had known, I wouldn't h
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 36: "The bidding war"
Inside the office of Jaypark Steel Corporation's headquarters, CEO Jeyster Sebastian sat behind a polished mahogany desk, his expression unreadable.Towering windows framed the city skyline, casting long shadows across the room's elegant furnishings.His son, Reyster Sebastian, stood rigidly before him, feeling the weight of his father's gaze."How's the progress in acquiring Megarev?" Jeyster Sebastian asked, studying his son intently."It's going well, father," Reyster replied, swallowing nervously.Jeyster leaned back in his chair, his gaze piercing. "Do I have to call you here just to hear those few words?""No. I believe we're making significant headway. Global investors have shown interest, but I'm confident they'll withdraw once they realize Megarev's staggering debt will cap its value," Reyster reported, straightening his posture.Reyster worked hard to maintain confidence, aware that his father was evaluating his readiness to take over the company.Inwardly, he fretted about
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 37: "Dare to Seduce"
At William Construction headquarters, Marcus Xu, masquerading as the fake Gregory William, finally stepped onto the main battlefield of the William Group's corporate world.Employees and staff greeted him with respect, which surprised Marcus, considering he knew the pathetic side of Gregory William whenever he visited Aurora as the son-in-law."Every business decision and management directive will come from us. Your role is simply execution," Philip Cheng said, walking beside him."Sure. As if I have a choice," Marcus replied dryly.Philip Cheng led him on a tour of the headquarters, briefing him on everything he needed to know to maintain the charade of being Gregory William.The entire tour was tedious for Marcus, but something unexpected greeted him as he approached Gregory's office."Good morning, sir," a voluptuous woman greeted him in a seductive tone."What's good about the morning?" Marcus responded coldly, instantly creating tension in the air. He glanced at the woman from he
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 38: "Wrong Target"
Elissa returned to the CEO's office, clutching the distilled water she'd fetched from the ground floor. Each step fueled her determination to seduce the wealthy man behind the door. But as she pushed it open, her heart sank.The sleek office she'd left moments ago now resembled a war zone.Furniture lay upturned, papers littered the floor, and the pristine space had been ravaged."What on earth happened here?" Elissa gasped, her shock palpable as she placed the water on the nearest surface.Marcus, seemingly unperturbed amid the chaos, shrugged. "Looks like a bit of a mess, doesn't it?""Did you do this?" Elissa's incredulity dripped from her words. It seemed inconceivable that someone could wreak such havoc in such a short time."Does it matter?" Marcus's indifference stung in his reply.Elissa's patience waned, but she knew she had to remain composed to reach her goal."Should I call the janitor to clean this up?""No," Marcus's tone brooked no argument. "You'll clean it up."Elissa
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 39: "I pluck the eyes of those who betray me"
Elissa Ramsey's eyes quivered as she stared straight at the masked man before her."You're joking, right?" she nervously questioned, hoping against hope that this was all just some twisted prank.But as she watched his brown eyes darken, a chill ran down her spine. It was then that she realized she wasn't playing a game; she was in a dangerous situation, teetering on the edge of an abyss.Where had her confidence vanished to now?"They said Gregory was a pushover. That damn Sebastian gave me the wrong information," she grumbled inwardly, regretting ever attempting to seduce a man she had thought was an easy target."No, I'm not kidding," Marcus's voice dripped with sinister intent. "We can make anyone disappear without a trace.""But William isn't like that. Your reputation was clean and—""A clean reputation doesn't equate to clean morals. Do you want me to show you the other side of William?" Marcus's tone brooked no argument."N-no. I'm sorry. I didn't... I'm sorry. Please, it hurt
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 40: "The Actor's long day"
"What happened here?" Philip Cheng asked as soon as he returned to the CEO’s office. His tone was assertive, but his expression betrayed no hint of shock."It was in a much worse state earlier," Marcus replied, his attention absorbed in memorizing lines for his acting project."Are you that bored?" Philip sighed, reluctantly using the intercom to call for a clerk to clean the office."Nah, I'm working harder than you think," Marcus said, flipping through his script."What do you mean?" Philip asked, moving furniture to sit across from Marcus."You haven't heard from HR, have you?" Marcus glanced at Philip briefly."What else is there to hear? The clerk met the standards; she just needs a bit of refinement in her manners," Philip shrugged."What manners? A less than professional demeanor?" Marcus snorted."This isn't your playground, so please behave," Philip said sternly."So, you're not interested in what I found out about the clerk?" Marcus asked, indifferent to whether his knowledg
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 41: "Aren't you kind?"
Marcus Xu entered the film location where he'll shoot his debut web series.Dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit, he exuded confidence as he made his way through the set, greeting each staff member with warmth.“Good morning! It's a pleasure to meet you all,” he said, his smile as charming as ever.The crew, taken aback by his friendly approach, returned his greeting with surprised smiles.“Hey there! Nice to meet you,” he said, extending his hand to a crew member setting up lights, who reciprocated with a smile.“Good to meet you too, Marcus. We're excited to work with you,” a crew member responded.He then paused to engage with the makeup artist. “Please make me look really handsome later,” he remarked.“Oh boy, you’re already handsome.,” the makeup artist replied, her words tinged with a bit of awkwardness but still continuing to smile sweetly at him.Marcus chatted with the make-up artist for a moment before spotting the production assistant. He rose to greet him with the same w
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 42: "She pushed me!"
Marcus continued with his packed schedule, spending half of his day as the son-in-law double and the other half as an actor working on a web series. He barely got enough sleep, but his love for what he was doing kept fatigue at bay."Are you sure you're okay?" Luther asked, concerned about his artist's lack of sleep."I'm fine. Miss Clarisse does a great job of hiding my eye bags," Marcus said, winking at the makeup artist prepping his skin."But it's better to get proper sleep. Do you have other projects on the side?" Clarisse asked, her tone friendly.She and the other makeup artists and stylists had grown comfortable with Marcus over the few days they'd been working together.They had been a bit awkward at first, but thanks to Marcus's kind demeanor and approachable charm, they quickly warmed up to him."I don't have any other acting projects aside from this one. I have multiple other jobs, so I can hardly get proper sleep," Marcus shared."Isn't this job paying well enough already
