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

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.

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
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 43: "Cleaning Public Image"
CEO Joe Sabal rushed to the filming set immediately after his secretary notified him about a live stream circulating on social media."What the hell? I clearly warned the director not to ruin Marcus's image!" he grumbled, storming onto the set in search of Marcus and the director. "What is Marcus Xu even thinking?"His feet moved swiftly as he kept his eyes glued to his phone, watching the live stream. However, he froze when he noticed something peculiar about the confrontation being broadcast."He didn't hit back?" he muttered.CEO Joe Sabal found himself deeply intrigued by Marcus Xu's behavior and his connection with the William Group, prompting him to closely observe him. After a month of working with Marcus, he knew that Marcus wouldn't tolerate bullying, especially without fighting back."What is he trying to accomplish?" he mused, the panic and anxiety on his face giving way to a curious smile. "Let's find out," he exclaimed excitedly as he made his way into Marcus's dressing r
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 44: "Marcus is a kind person"
Director Lee paced back and forth, biting his nails, anxious about the repercussions of the trouble caused by his production assistant. His mind raced, calculating the potential costs that Magic Entertainment would charge them."You better apologize to Marcus and CEO Joe. You need to fix this!" he yelled, glaring at Emily with a threatening gaze."Why should I? I didn't do anything wrong! This just proves he's really trash! Why should we waste our time on an actor who could drag down our series?" Emily retorted furiously.In disbelief that no one was taking her side, Emily's anger towards Marcus intensified as she believed she had uncovered his hidden flaws."It's you who will drag this project down! CEO Sabal even came here! Do you understand how seriously Magic Entertainment takes protecting their artists?" Director Lee yelled, his frustration evident as he raised his arm, as if restraining himself from hitting Emily.The other staff members on the filming set watched nervously, fea
