Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 94: Order of the Court
Forty minutes later, Jennie finally appeared in my condo. The time was already a quarter before dawn, and I could not help but notice her sleepy and exhausted eyes. I felt ashamed and guilty of myself because of that, but I needed her most at the moment. "Thank you for coming, Jennie," I said with a smile on my face to help her lift her exhaustion. "Which do you prefer to pair with the slice of pizza? Coffee or a can of beer?" Earlier before we reached the condo, I realized that I needed to have something to offer Jennie just in case. I thought about cooking dinner for her at first but the time was already too late to have dinner. So I ordered a box of pizza instead. "If what you are telling me would be a long story, I prefer a cold can of beer, but if it can't be what I was thinking, I prefer a hot cup of coffee, Mr. Fisher," she replied. "Come on, Jennie. We are already out of the office. You're free to drop the honorifics. Outside the office, I am not your boss
Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 95: A Kiss on His Lips
"All rise!" Someone from the front yelled the second the judges stepped foot into the courtroom, which resulted in the background chattering to stop in a matter of seconds. My heartbeats began to race the second we got down. It wasn't my first time to be part of a trial court, but I couldn't help the feeling of uneasiness. Hearing the gavel being smashed on the table started suffocating me, knowing my little and innocent son was what the trial session was about. A part of me wanted to quit before anyone got hurt. What if the judges will take Celestine's side instead of me? What if they bribed the judges behind our backs that no matter how valid and expert my attorney in presenting our evidence was, the trial was already cooked? Those were some of the bothering questions that kept running wild inside my brain at the moment. In the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom, the tension began to break as the custody battle over my son was debated. I sat on one side of the r
Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 96: Zachary's Verdict
As soon as I removed my lips from Julian, a hard slap coming from Jelian landed on my face. Hard enough I moved my face to the other direction. "What the hell are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" she blurted with several long curved lines engraved on her forehead. Everyone who witnessed the incident held their breath, all in disbelief that someone like me would kiss Julian on the lips. I have no idea how on earth why I came up with that kind of idea instead of confronting him with the truth. "Why? Do you think I didn't know?" I replied as I fixed my sharp and disgusted eyes on Julian who kept his feet on the ground, still unable to move as though he was still in the middle of absorbing what just happened. "Do you think I didn't know that Julian had a boyfriend?" All our classmates let out a gasp after hearing my confession. It means to me that none of his friends are aware of the truth. Despite the distance between me and Julian, I started noticing his sweat eje

"That's not true, Mr. Fisher! Please, listen to me. I am the dean of this school. I kept peace and order in our school for the past twenty years. He was certainly manipulating that evidence because Mr. Llamas and I had an argument the other day. He must be expelled from this school!" The dean exclaimed as he attempted to snatch the flash drive from me. Good thing, Mr. Roland and two of Dad's security guards immediately came to the rescue and pinned the dean to the floor. "Let go of me! Don't you know who I am? I am the dean of this school. You can't do this to me!" he exclaimed despite having a hard time breathing. Some of the students attempted to slide to the exit, but two other security guards blocked them from escaping. The heavy tension that hung in the air swallowed the room whole. Everyone panicked as they did not expect this to happen. Neither do I. "So, to end this dilemma, I would like to ask Mr. Llamas his verdict on the students who ruined his life." Dad a

"Ms. Layne suggested that we should have our outing in the chairman's newly bought mansion, Mr. Fisher," Jennie said. "I don't know if you are aware of this, but the chairman recently bought a mansion that fits your ideal kind of outing. The property was located on top of the hills with a dense forest where we could have a few activities. What do you think?" Indeed, I didn't have any idea about Dad's newly bought mansion on top of a hill because it was the least of my worries. But it turned out that my cousins were more aware of all his properties. I looked into her eyes to check how she would react when I replied, "Well. I have no idea about it, but I think it's not that hard for Ms. Layne to ask Dad's permission, isn't it?" "Of course." She replied without any signs of second thoughts. "I'll give you guys feedback once I talk to Uncle later tonight. Would that be alright?" All of us in the meeting room were left with no other choice since I had nothing to say anymore
Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 99: Stick to the Plan
Mom was taken aback when Dad removed her grip from him. "No," he firmly replied, his stares toward turned deadly. "I'm not going home unless this bastard could hear my words. Know your place, Zachary. Be grateful you were using what our family had, deny it or not. Don't you dear cause more trouble in school not that I owned it. I would never spend another thirteen million dollars on your mess. Do you understand?" After letting out those words, Dad evacuated the condo and never returned, leaving me and Mom standing across from each other. "What are you still looking at, Mom?" I asked, "Aren't you supposed to be following him like you always do as one of his minions?" "What happened to you, Zachary?" Mom asked before she wiped off the tears that fell from her eyes. "You've changed a lot, son. I don't know if you are still my son or not anymore. Your Dad was just concerned about you, and you didn't even acknowledge it." I was about to defend myself from what I believed wa
Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 100: Julian Vs. Zachary
After confirming Noah was already in a deep sleep, I asked his nanny to keep an eye on him for a few hours until I got back. I was not the kind of father who was rigorous, heartless, and inconsiderate, so I told her she could take a nap as long as she was next to my son. "Do you want to see the list of the games we prepared for tonight? I also need to discuss to you with regards to the prizes for each game." Jennie asked as we continued walking outside. She handed over to me a small piece of paper marked with numbers one to thirty on it, I believed, there were fun games to play for our two days of company outing. I know we can't achieve everything on the list, but the first three that came to mind were volleyball, truth or dare, and hide and seek. "Do we have everything we could use for these games?" I worriedly asked before I returned the piece of paper to her. "I mean, if we are going to play all those games within two days, we must have everything we need, right?"

Startled, Jennie hurried to my spot and helped me up. "Zach, are you alright?" she asked before she yelled at her brother, "Julian, do you have any idea what you just do, huh? Are you out of your mind?" "Come on, sister Jennie. That bastard deserved to get beaten, not just a single punch." Jelian hissed back. "Do you even have the slightest idea what that moron did to our family? You should stay away from that monster before your life gets ruined as well." "You should leave this place in an instant, Zachary," Julian ordered. "You, of all people, should know better that most, if not all of us, hated and disagreed about you being part of the outing." "As much as it pains you, Julian, but you can't just shoo Zachary out of this place." Jennie defended me, her voice sharp and sounded scary for the first time. "To begin with, he was not here to join your class outing. We also had our company outing in the same place and time as yours. In fact, we are in the middle of playin
