I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 96: "Blood Stain and Tears"
Marcus forced his weak legs to stand and hurried out of the house."I don't believe this. I don't believe this! There's no way Miguel is dead," he said, in denial. "Reyster is playing tricks on me again! That motherf*cker, what did I even do to him for him to kill us?"Marcus's devastation over his brother's death morphed into a searing rage, a wildfire burning through his veins.He limped away from the house, his eyes glinting with rage and despair. But to his dismay, he realized the house was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded only by green trees and silence."Where the heck am I? There aren't even any roads!" he exclaimed, punching a tree with his already wounded fist, leaving a bloody mark on its trunk."No. No. Calm down, Marcus. I need to calm down. I need to f*cking calm down," he convinced himself, wiping off his tears but only smudging the bandages on his face with blood."I'll just call a cab," he thought, struggling to type a number on his bloody fingers and cracked phon
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 97: "Sudden Accusation"
At today’s dinner at Aurora, the William family gathered, each member catching up with one another in their own unique way.Everyone was present, including Margarette, who had returned home from the hospital to dine with them again."You’re pretty lucky to have such a caring husband, Marga," Gerald commented sarcastically, his brows twitching as he watched their parents dot on her because of her amnesia."Oh yes, I am really blessed," Margarette responded cheerfully, her eyes shining with pride as she looked at the masked man beside her, who was helping her eat due to her weakened muscles from the coma."You sound stupid, Marga," Michael said, unable to get used to Margarette's teenage-like behavior."Michael," Gudofredo called out sternly, glaring at him to stop the rude comments."Sorry. I had a long day at the company," Michael said, adjusting his tie before continuing. "Anyway, Greg, you weren't at my conference yesterday. Are you looking down on me now?""He didn’t attend yesterd
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 98: "I want that power"
Marcus Xu realized that even though he had come back alive and revealed what Reyster did to him and his brother, he couldn't ultimately gain justice.He knew that Reyster would easily get away again using his connections, money, and status.He realized he needed to become someone more powerful than Reyster Sebastian and that was to fully become the son-in-law of the William family."It will become harder to move if Jaucian and Philip are there to control what I can do. I need complete power," he thought.After discovering many valuable things at Gregory William’s house, Marcus twisted some facts to kick Jaucian and Philip out. Thanks to his acting and knowledge from Gregory’s journal, he effectively deceived everyone, including Jaucian and Philip, making them believe he was the real son-in-law.“So, you too need rest?” Gudofredo asked, gently pushing Margarette’s wheelchair close to the bed where Marcus lay.“That’s what the doctor said. Should I start working regardless?” he asked s
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 99: "Marcus Xu's Death"
At Carlo Roki's residence, the aroma of a homemade dinner filled the air as they sat around the dining table. Carlo, his son Gabriel, an aspiring mayoral candidate, and his wife, Anna, shared a somber meal.Gabriel’s candidacy had been their main focus for months, but tonight, the conversation carried a heavier weight."How's the campaign holding up?" Carlo asked, his voice tinged with concern as he served himself some roasted chicken.Gabriel sighed, pushing his food around his plate. "Not great, Dad. With Marcus Xu’s sudden death, we lost our major endorser. It’s a significant setback. He also promised to fund us, so I really don't know where to start again."Anna looked up, worry etched across her face. "Do you think Marcus Xu’s death is related to the William Group and their succession war?"Gabriel nodded. "It's possible. I doubt his death was simply because of an argument with a colleague. There are too many coincidences. People in power will do anything to keep their hold. It’s

Many had gathered to hold a vigil, seeking justice for their idol.Signs reading "Justice for Marcus" and "Pablo Rusto, Surrender!" were held high, a testament to the collective grief and anger."Such a loss," a fan murmured, her eyes red from crying.

Catch Pablo Rusto!" they chanted, their voices echoing through the streets.A young fan, tears str
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 101: "Mourning before Morning"
Inside Gerald William's grand mansion, the atmosphere was heavy with tension.In a dark room at the far end of the hall, Jesse Harp sat on the floor, a bottle of alcohol in her hand. Her makeup was smeared, mascara was streaking down her cheeks, and her hair was in disarray."Marcus..." she muttered softly.Just thinking of his face made her eyes well up with tears.Her heart broke with a sense of regret and longing for what might have been if circumstances had been different.If only she had met Marcus first, she wondered if she would be the happiest."I know we weren't meant to be, but I didn't expect you'd go away from me like this," she sobbed.She chugged the alcohol and threw the bottle at the huge wedding portrait on her wall.Glaring at Gerald's image in the portrait, she yelled, "You only threatened my previous lovers. Why now kill the one I truly love?" She cried loudly, feeling suffocated. Even if she suspected Gerald behind Marcus's death, she couldn't punish him at all,
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 102: "Thanks for the tip"
As soon as Marcus returned home from the funeral, he hurriedly searched for Gregory William’s things that he had previously ignored.“I know it’s here somewhere,” he muttered, leaning down to the vault underneath the floor and searching for the documents he had discarded long ago.“Oh, here they are,” he said with a grin. He then groaned as his body reminded him of the pain, urging him to rest, but he immediately shrugged it off. Ignoring the late hour, he quickly called Michael’s number.“Assh*le! Do you know what time it is?” Michael exclaimed.“It’s 3 AM,” Marcus responded reluctantly. Michael snapped and hung up. Marcus dialed his number again and was yelled at once more.“What do you want, bastard?”“Why are you yelling at me when I called for your sake? You’re breaking my heart,” Marcus said sarcastically.This reminded Michael that he should treat Gregory William better, as he was the one who would decide who would be the next chairman.“I was half asleep. What did you call fo
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 103: "Made-up story"
Marcus leaned back in his chair, satisfied with his conversation with Michael. However, he knew that Michael would handle the issue internally to avoid damaging the William Group's stock value.“He’ll probably just go straight to the chairman to ruin his brother’s image, but I’m sure he’ll never humiliate him in public,” he muttered to himself.Marcus had a different plan in mind—one that would ensure Reyster Sebastian received the humiliation he deserved. For this, he needed the help of Jesse Harp William, Gerald’s wife and the CEO of Harp Media.He dialed Jesse's number and was surprised when she immediately answered, despite it being so early in the morning.“Hello?” Jesse’s groggy voice came through the line. “Marcus?”Marcus almost forgot how to breathe as soon as Jesse called his real name. He felt relieved when he heard her crying as she breathed into the phone.“Are you calling from heaven?” she sobbed.“What the heck? She’s grieving for my death?” he mused inwardly, surprised
