I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 70: "Are you high?"
At a filming set near the beach, Pablo Rusto breathed fire, just as Marcus had guessed.The filming crew and his managers just watched him throw a tantrum, not stopping him from making a mess of the set because it was easier to wait for him to tire out than to stop him.“What made him that angry? Did he lose at the casino again?” the director asked Pablo’s manager.“I don’t really know. He just received a call from his junior, and he suddenly threw a fit like that,” the manager said exasperatedly, feeling as if working with Pablo was shaving a decade off his life.“He probably lost a woman to his junior,” the director said. “He should compensate for everything he breaks today. Twice the original price, as usual.”“Yes, we will. Just send us the list.”“Okay. We’ll be having snacks over there. Call us once he’s done.”“Sure. Thank you and sorry for this.”“No need to apologize. I’m used to him.”Everyone remained calm and ignored Pablo’s fit, while Pablo himself was too angry to notice
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 71: "Killer ice cream"
Back at Marcus Xu, he left the Magic Entertainment headquarters, feeling a sense of satisfaction after successfully causing chaos for Pablo, Resyter, and the club. He had a busy day ahead, but first, he needed to head back to Margarette’s penthouse.Opting for public transportation, he walked to the nearest bus stop, ready for the commute. As the bus rolled through the bustling city streets, Marcus stared out the window, lost in thought. His mind replayed the day's events and the plans he had set in motion.Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a sight that made him sit up straighter. Two small children were wandering around the sidewalk by themselves. Recognizing the children immediately, Marcus's eyes widened in surprise. It was Jesse Harp-William’s children, Rose and Leilani. They were only four and six years old, far too young to be wandering the busy streets alone.Concerned, he quickly pressed the button to signal the bus to stop. As soon as the doors opened, he dashed out and he
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 72: "You're under arrest!"
Marcus stood frozen as the police officers grabbed him, their harsh grips bruising his arms. Rose and Leilani screamed, reaching out for him as they were pulled away.“I didn’t kidnap them! I’m friends with their mother!” Marcus protested, but his words fell on deaf ears.One of the officers roughly patted him down while another secured handcuffs around his wrists. “Save it for the station,” one officer said, pushing him toward the door.The scene quickly drew a crowd. Passersby gawked, whispering and snapping pictures with their phones.Marcus's heart pounded as he was shoved into the back of a police car. He could hear the children crying out for him as the car sped off.At the police station, Marcus was led through a labyrinth of gray corridors and into a stark interrogation room. The metal cuffs were unceremoniously removed, and he was left to sit alone at a cold metal table.Minutes felt like hours as he waited, anxiety gnawing at his insides.“I hope this won’t bring too much tr
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 73: "Drive me home"
Inside CEO Joe’s car, Marcus sat silently in the backseat, contemplating the sin he had committed, almost ruining a family.Meanwhile, CEO Joe remained silent, driving through the city without saying a word. He had many questions but kept them to himself, assuming this incident was related to the succession war happening in the William family.“You’re not going to scold me?” Marcus asked after a long silence.“Scold you? Why would I? Everything is just a misunderstanding, right?”“Yes, it is,” he nodded. “I’m sorry for bringing so much trouble.”“Oh, no need to apologize. It’s our job anyway,” CEO Joe awkwardly responded, unused to seeing Marcus so down. “You should get a good rest. You have to be on set tomorrow at 3.”“Ah, that’s right. I should focus on my career. The series will premiere soon,” Marcus said, thinking about his series that would air its first episode despite ongoing filming.The producers decided to air it while Marcus's popularity was high. It was risky, but the pr
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 74: "Are you trying to scam me?”
Marcus turned to face Jason Kiliman, his expression cautious. He didn't recognize the man, but his aura alone spelled trouble.“No, I’m not interested,” Marcus said curtly, starting to walk away.Jason didn't move, but his voice followed Marcus. “My boss is Jeyster Sebastian.”Marcus stopped in his tracks, the name sending a chill down his spine. He turned back to face Jason, his eyes narrowing.“Jeyster Sebastian wants to meet with me?”“Yes. He requests a moment of your time. He’s aware of the... complications involving his son.” Jason nodded.Marcus considered this. A meeting with Jeyster could provide valuable insight and possibly an advantage. Despite the potential risk, the opportunity was too tempting to ignore.“Fine,” Marcus said, his voice steady. “Lead the way.”Jason led Marcus to a sleek black car parked nearby. Marcus slipped into the backseat, his mind racing with possibilities.The ride was short, and soon they arrived at a high-end office building.Inside, they took a
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 75: "Golden Ticket"
Marcus checked the contents of the envelope and discovered a complete package for entry into the Hollywood industry. There was a plane ticket, a referral letter from a renowned agent, a recommendation for a top-tier acting school, and the deed to a house in Los Angeles.“What a golden ticket,” he muttered under his breath.Every actor, from aspiring novices to seasoned professionals, dreams of breaking into Hollywood. It was the ultimate destination for those seeking fame and success in the entertainment world.“This is quite the package,” Marcus said, trying to keep his voice steady. His hands trembled slightly as he sifted through the documents.The opportunities laid out before him were beyond anything he had ever imagined. Hollywood wasn't just a dream; it was a lifelong aspiration, a pinnacle that only a fortunate few could ever hope to reach.The offer Jeyster presented was incredibly tempting. He could just drop his job as the son-in-law’s double, but the intention behind the o
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 76: "Amnesiac Princess"
The news of Margarette losing her memories shocked Marcus Xu for only a second.He shrugged and reluctantly said, “Then tell her the truth. Brief her right away. What’s the problem?”He couldn’t understand why amnesia was troubling, assuming it would be temporary.“I came late. Jaucian was also late,” Philip said with a groan.“What do you mean, late at what?”“The chairman got to her first.”“And so?”“She woke with no memories at all, and it was the chairman who filled her in about herself. I lost the chance to correct her.”“It’s not like the chairman will stay with her forever.”“The caregiver the chairman provided will.”“Oh, that’s a hassle. So what she knows now is what the chairman told her, not the real Margarette William we know? And I’m the only one who can tell her the real details?”“Yes. So let’s hurry before it becomes harder for her to believe us.”“Okay.”Marcus reluctantly turned to the door. He glanced at the door of his room inside the penthouse before stepping out
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 77: "Catch someone when they’re panicking.”
In the hospital owned by William Group, where the William family entrusted their health, Philip Cheng hurriedly walked into the elevator after Marcus kicked him out of Margarette’s hospital room. His expression was dark, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened as he waited for the elevator to reach the highest floor.“Do you have an appointment, sir?” the receptionist asked as soon as he reached the director’s office.“Do I need an appointment?” he responded curtly, his irritation growing when the receptionist failed to recognize him.“Yes, sir. You do need an appointment to meet the director,” the receptionist said politely.“Are you kidding me right now?” he said, slamming his hand on the counter.“What’s going on?” a much older receptionist approached after hearing the commotion and immediately stiffened upon seeing Philip. “Oh gosh, sir Philip Cheng, please come in. The director is inside,” she said, side-eyeing the younger receptionist, who immediately paled upon recognizing Ph
