Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 17 - Stargazing
In front of her divine beauty, Jackson could only remain speechless. The young woman introduced herself with grace. Words escape his mouth unwillingly as if an invisible force urged him to speak. “N-Nice to meet you!”Elena chuckled after seeing his embarrassed state. She looked at her dad and smiled before returning to the car. Warren patted Jackson on the shoulder and walked towards the car, leaving Jackson frantically trying to catch up.Just before opening the car’s door, Jackson glanced at the wooden log cabin with visible nostalgia on his face. He spent the last month recuperating here. He grew attached to the place, but in his heart, he understood this was simply a step. His eyes beamed with vigor when he turned his gaze toward Southfield. “My journey began. I’ll return to you!”In his mind, the faces of those he held the dearest flashed in mere seconds. In his heart lingered the necessity for revenge. He raised his hand as if he was trying to grasp the city in his palm and squ
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 18 - Cloud Manor
“Auction House?”Jackson, lost in thought, remembered Mr. Pearl’s words about the one of the most prominent families in the world, owning an establishment like that. He quickly dismissed the thought, though.Warren saw the confusion in the young man’s eyes and chuckled. “What’s on your mind?”“It’s just… Even if my grandfather is that old man, why would you help a nobody like me…?”“I’m simply repaying a favor!”“Even in a million years, whatever you do won’t be enough, Warren!”Shivers run down their spines and blood froze in their veins when the woman’s domineering voice crept behind them. Jackson had surprise written all over his face and wanted to ask more, but hesitated.Warren turned around and saw his wife. The alluring woman walked towards Jackson and patted his head, making him blush. “Young man, you don’t have to worry about trivial things. We will help you the best we can!”After the last word came out of her mouth, she glared at her husband with a chill emanating from her
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 19 - Furious
Blood drained from the faces of everyone present when the price of the bid went higher than that of the young Lord Brown. A chatter of disbelief like a wave washed the auditorium.“Who is the arrogant fellow?”“Doesn’t he know what happens when you offend the Brown family?”“He’s courting death! Let him be!”Elena, although worried it would escalate outside her control, kept her calm, and continued. “Two hundred thousand! Do I hear another?”The young Lord from the Brown family clicked his tongue. “Humph! Five hundred thousand, and if anyone raises the price, don’t blame my family for not forgiving you!”“Six hundred thousand!”Jackson’s thunderous voice echoed in the Auction House. It left everyone speechless, including Elena. The Brown family wasn’t an existence one should offend.Gritting his teeth, he shouted. “One million!”Jackson’s voice reverberated in the auditorium. “One million five hundred!”He didn’t care. One thing he was certain of, there was no way he'd let his mother’
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 20 - Ocean's Tear
Before they went on the road, Elena called Warren and informed him of the situation regarding the necklace they received from the West family. “As I told you earlier, daddy, we need to verify that it’s not the same necklace, otherwise we will have to deal with the blowback of such a humiliation…”Although he was reluctant to let them go, he agreed to in the end. If the West family indeed used such a means for a profit, they had to put an end to it. “Very well, but be careful. Let me remind you that the world thinks Jackson is dead. If someone recognizes him, it’ll cause an uproar.”With Elena behind the wheel, she drove to the cemetery where Jackson buried his parents. It took them a few hours to get there from Cloud Manor. The cemetery was on the outskirts of King Hill.Upon laying eyes on the home his family raised him, a surge of mixed feelings flooded his heart. A complex expression of sadness, anger slowly built up and fastened his heartbeat. The blood in his veins boiled. He cle
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 21 - An Old Friend
“Who dares to be so bold as to threaten my daughter in my house?”Warren’s thunderous voice echoed throughout the estate’s garden. It carried an angry intent which penetrated the souls of those present. The impact it left scarred their hearts to the point their knees lost all strength.Even though he didn’t direct it at him, Jackson felt Warren’s anger in his core. He took in a few deep breaths to nullify effects. With one hand, he covered his eyes from the blinding lights. He noticed six shadows standing, one on each side by the three vehicles.“Mr. Alroy, please forgive us. It wasn’t our intention, but my master sent me to retrieve the pendant. She wishes to return it to its rightful owner.”Jackson gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists and voiced. “I’m the rightful owner. I don’t care who your master is, but this necklace stays with me!”“Insolent brat!”One person charged at Jackson. Even the master of the Alroy family could feel the killing intent emitting from that stranger.
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 22 - Parking Lot
With shock written all over his face and a hint of joy, Jackson mumbled. “How did they find me? I thought the world regarded me dead…”“Apparently, these girls never believed that.”Jackson pondered over it for several seconds before giving his reply to Warren. “I will meet with them when I finish dealing with other matters first.”Warren chuckled. “Certainly, I will inform them of your decision.”“Thank you for everything!”Warren waved goodbye as he exited the living room. His joyful voice reached Jackson’s ears. “Haha! Don’t mention it!”***The following morning, after staying until late, Jackson had trouble waking until he felt a tingling in the lower half of his body.Drowsy as he was with half-open eyes, he looked down. A slurping sound reached his ears. He realized what was happening and removed the sheets to see Elena sucking on him.Surprised, the girl put a little more force and accidentally scraped with a tooth, forcing a groan out of his mouth. Although he whispered, beca
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 23 - Riverbank City
Jackson and Warren walked into town. Immediately, Jackson froze in awe at the sight. It even had a port. Ships always brought in new materials and equipment. The great river next to the city is where the name came from. The merchants grew it at the banks of a river. An endless paved street stretching from one corner to the other. All kinds of shops, from boutiques to antiquity, scattered around.In Riverbank, it didn’t matter if one was poor or wealthy. Affordable prices made this city bloom to what it is today; A living organism. A significant factor played into the fact is that cars couldn’t enter. It added to the safety of the city.According to Warren, the number of residential buildings one could count on one hand, and those belonged to some extremely influential individuals in Riverbank.Warren led the way to a small antiquity shop on the south side of the city. The great river next to it brought about a sense of nostalgia for a reason he couldn’t explain. The rustic building, w
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 24 - Serenade
Jackson listened to what Warren told him and how fearful he was of the Hynkel family. One thing he couldn’t get his head around though, he blurted out. “What do they have to do with my mom’s necklace?”“Valid question! According to Mr. Rolland, they were the last known owners.”Jackson couldn’t wrap his head around it. “How did my mother end up with it, then?”Warren shrugged his shoulders, unable to answer his question.***A week went by uneventfully. Jackson had fully recovered and could move around freely. Within that week, he regularly visited Riverbank city and the Auction House.Whenever he got the chance, he would antagonize the young Lord from the Brown family.Because of her work schedule, Elena had little interaction with him. It saddened him he couldn’t spend more time with her, but it wasn’t up to him.He didn’t plan to go back to Southfield soon, so with the help of Warren, he purchased an old house on the outskirts of the city.It was in between the Auction House and S
