I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 45: "Beyond theoretical knowledge"
Marcus Xu reclined comfortably on the couch opposite his brother's hospital bed, feigning illness despite not having incurred any injuries himself. With a bored expression, he gazed at Miguel, who was engrossed in watching the news."Why are you still watching the news? Switch to channel 7; Caleb's new series is about to start," Marcus suggested casually."Are you trying to distract me from seeing the news about you?" Miguel asked, his eyes fixed on the television screen where Marcus's name seemed to be plastered all over."No, actually, it's the news about you," Marcus replied, stretching lazily."There's no news about me anymore. You should do what you did with yours," Miguel retorted, recalling how Marcus had managed to quash the media coverage of his own recent brush with trouble involving a gang/drug dealer—a setup he had unwittingly walked into after a brutal beating."I didn't do anything. Maybe your issue just isn't headline-worthy," Marcus retorted, refusing to acknowledge th
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 46: "Trash Reyster"
Marcus answered the phone with great anticipation, finding a secluded spot in the empty hospital lobby to take the call. He tried to mask his excitement as he spoke to CEO Roki."Why are you calling?" he asked, feigning reluctance."Boss, did you see it on the news?" CEO Roki's voice was brimming with excitement."Don't call me that," Marcus replied irritably, his excitement fading upon hearing the CEO refer to him as "boss.""Why? Anyway, Boss, I made it happen! I got Reyster Sebastian to acquire Megarev for triple its supposed value!" CEO Roki exclaimed, expecting Marcus to share his enthusiasm."Great job. Do you happen to know what happened to him afterwards? Or his reaction?" Marcus was more interested in the impact their scheme had on Reyster Sebastian."Of course! I made sure to check on him!" CEO Roki replied eagerly."And then?" Marcus prompted."He was scolded by the CEO and lost his chance to take the CEO position. Instead, he was given the COO position. He's definitely fur
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 47: "Reyster will be crying,"
Marcus yawned as he sat at the center of the long meeting table, blinking multiple times as he struggled to focus on the script he was holding in his hand."You look very sleepy. What did you do last night?" Philip Cheng whispered."How can you tell? I'm wearing a full mask," Marcus retorted, tapping his mask."I can still see your eyes. You better not mess this up," Philip warned."Yes, boss," Marcus replied, trying to shake off his drowsiness. But his vision was blurry from lack of sleep.Yesterday was his chance to finally get some rest, but he spent it studying project proposals instead.For the record, it was the second week in a row that he had slept less than two hours a night."Damn it," Marcus cursed himself, wondering why people needed to sleep when there was so much to do."It's starting," Philip said, warning Marcus with his eyes.Marcus simply nodded, trying his best to listen to the meeting. But the chattering in the room and the soft hum of the air conditioning sounded
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 48: "Check your husband"
Marcus walked out of the chairman’s office with a satisfied expression. Despite the chairman giving him a hard time about other business matters, Marcus remained happy, knowing that somewhere else, Reyster was having a bad day.“What’s got you chuckling, bugger?” Gerald said, purposely bumping Marcus on the shoulder. However, Gerald staggered instead.“Don't ruin my mood, real bugger,” Marcus replied, standing confidently and looking down at Gerald.He had Philip and Jaucian’s permission to interact with the Williams in any way he wanted, as long as his identity remained undiscovered.Well, the Williams dismissed his sudden change in behavior as mere arrogance and foolish character development. It was as if no one truly knew Gregory William’s real personality, or no one cared.“Do you think you can keep acting this way?” Gerald snorted, fixing the lapel of his coat before confidently entering the chairman’s office.Marcus dusted off his sleeve where Gerald had bumped him and shrugged
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 49: "Another job: Babysitting"
Jesse Harp stood alone in the garden, her expression dark. Her brows twitched with irritation and frustration."F*ck William!" she hissed.She clutched the handle of her luxury bag tightly, her long nails pricking her skin. "Even the pushover is threatening me now?" she muttered, staring at the end of the garden path.She bit her lower lip, knowing she trusted Gregory William’s words more than those of her husband, Gerald William."This f*cking marriage is just a business. Is it really benefiting me?" she pondered, trying to assess the gains and losses from her ten-year marriage with Gerald.After a few deep breaths to calm her nerves, she walked out of the garden."Why did you follow me here?" Gerald asked irritably, smoking by the window of his office at William Electronics headquarters."Don't f*ck with me," she snapped. "You keep disregarding me in front of others, which makes them look down on me! I'm not like your in-laws who want to be plain housewives!" She turned her back on
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 50: "New Loyal Fan"
A few moments before Marcus Xu appeared in front of Jesse’s hotel room, she was fuming in front of her nanny and servants for losing her children inside the hotel.“What do you mean you don't know?” she yelled.“The hotel security is looking for them now. They are also checking the CCTV, so they will find them soon,” the servant said, trying to avoid Jesse's menacing gaze."Soon? I will burn this hotel down if anything happens to my daughters!” she yelled, frustration mounting.Her chest felt heavy, and her mind was consumed with anxiety.Her children were the one good thing in her life. Her money, status, and useless husband felt like a curse, suffocating her daily. Her daughters were the only ones who gave her a breather.“We will do our best to find them quickly.”“You better!”Jesse was about to throw everything around her in frustration when she heard the doorbell ring.She immediately went to the doorbell monitor, and relief washed over her as she saw her three daughters being c
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 51: "Why can't I be myself?"
Waking up feeling completely rested is the best feeling. Marcus Xu smiled as he opened his eyes and stretched his arms. He felt refreshed and alive."Rise and shine!" he exclaimed, jumping out of bed.He couldn't stop smiling, thinking about his progress."I'm almost there, but there's still more to do," he said with determination.He placed a mask on his face and unlocked his bedroom door."Good morning, sir. Did the vacuum wake you?" the cleaner asked. It was the day when the cleaner and maid visited Margarette’s penthouse to clean, restock supplies, and check on Gregory William.Marcus usually finds it inconvenient to keep his mask on even at home, but his good mood made him respond more warmly today."No, it didn't. Good luck with the cleaning," he said.He headed straight to Margarette’s study room to eat breakfast without being disturbed."Oh damn, she's that grateful?" Marcus commented, almost choking on the bread he was eating.He turned up the volume as he listened to the mor
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 52: "Die hard fan"
In the evening, Jesse worked hard to make herself look young and pretty before heading to a fancy restaurant in the trendiest dress she owned.“Is this too much?” she wondered, worried she might be overdressed while she anticipated her date's arrival.“He better be good to me. I made his reputation flawlessly clean,” she muttered to herself, looking at Marcus’s picture on her phone.Jesse Harp had formed a team dedicated to Marcus Xu, handling his PR, marketing, and improving his reputation.Once she started to support someone, she couldn’t help but be excessive and obsessive.“I’m sorry for being late,” Marcus said as he rushed into the VIP room of the restaurant. He had hurried upon hearing that Jesse had arrived before him. “Did I get the time wrong?”“No. It’s me who came early,” Jesse said with a stoic expression, though inwardly, her heart and mind were jumping with excitement at seeing such an extremely good-looking man in person.“You must be very busy. Thank you for taking th
