Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 28 - Banquet
The weekend came and Jackson got ready to attend the banquet held by the West family. A sharp black suit toned his body. One could see themselves mirroring in the black glistening shoes he wore. With a cup of tea, he sat on the porch and waited for the girls to get ready. After thirty minutes, he went inside and shouted. “It’s starting soon. Are you ready?” With one voice, they responded. “Five minutes!” In a barely audible voice, he uttered. “That’s what you said thirty minutes ago…” He let out a sigh and returned to his seat on the porch. Five minutes later, he heard the clacking of heels coming down the stairs. He stood up, breathing out. “Finally!” The moment he walked inside and laid eyes on the two girls, his blood rushed to his head, making his cheeks crimson. Naomi tied her hair to a bun. She wore a long white dress, which showcased her voluptuous curves. Her neckline cheekily displayed an opening to her breasts, whereas the heels boosted her thighs, creating an illusion

The venue hosting the auction for the commoners was none other than the living room of the West family estate. Round tables scattered throughout the room with red velvet cloth spread.Bottles of champagne for every one of the twenty tables. Approximately forty families attended the banquet, and everyone present listened attentively to the commoner woman’s song.Once the song ended, several seconds of a deafening silence followed.Like waves, the roars from the audience shook the estate. The chandelier in the ceiling trembled and dust particles floated.Applause!Applause!The man with the goatee walked up on the stage with a smile on his face. His voice filled the room. “And there you have it, folks!”Jackson stayed at the back during this time and listened to the song. When it ended, he pulled Naomi close and whispered in her ear. “She has a beautiful voice, right?”His breath tickled her, and a flush of blush reddened her cheeks.Before she could utter a word, the man with the goate

A surge of laughter made the room vibrate.Boyd West had a sour look on his face. In an annoyed tone, he uttered. “Look, kid, if you are not serious, leave!”Nonchalantly, Jackson uttered. “What are you talking about? Of course, I’m serious.”Frustrated, Boyd sighed. “Very well. Bid for one dollar, anyone else?”At that moment, the phones rang. Every family present received the same notification.Boyd West, bemused, uttered. “What’s happening?”{Don’t outbid the one-dollar amount, otherwise the Alroy family will seize your assets!}As soon as they read the message, the various families gasped.Sweat drenched their faces.With horror written all over their faces, they turned to Jackson at once, who revealed a grin. A chilly glint appeared in his eyes, which froze the blood in their veins.Not knowing what happened, Boyd asked once more. “A-Any other bids?”The deafening silence made it possible for them to hear the fast-beating hearts. Only Jackson’s heart rate was steady.When no one

Boyd West, the patriarch, and Amira gasped. Only Elisa giggled. She admired him even more.Never once did they expect someone to act so shameless against them. Vein popped on their foreheads from rage. The humiliation was too much. Amira gritted her teeth. “How dare you?”Boyd West walked towards Jackson, as if he was just about to punch him. The glare in his eyes could freeze even the most seasoned warrior.One a breath away from Jackson, he uttered from between his teeth. “You clearly go against my West family.”As a veteran negotiator, Boyd tried his best to appease Jackson, who either held immense power or he had someone’s backing. The other families denied going against him. “Did we somehow offend you?”Jackson looked at him closely, trying to figure out his train of thought.He closed the distance between them by leaning forward, close to his ear. Jackson’s voice came out, barely audible to the guests. As if he whispered, he uttered. “No, not really, but if you kick a girl out o

The old patriarch’s statement brought about a commotion.Boyd West took a step back. He never expected to hear those words. Even the patriarch felt the immensity of his words as they escaped his mouth, but he couldn’t take them back.Amira, who stood at the stage, cringed. “G-Grandfather…”The guests were unsure whether they should carry favor with the young man or keep their distance. After all, the West family wasn’t an entity they could go against.But then again, he had the backing of the Alroy family. Even though they didn’t come out and say it, they wouldn’t dare cross either Overlord. Besides their uncontrollable expressions, they remained silent and watched from the sidelines.Boyd knew something must have happened for his father to act this way. He looked towards Elisa, who became more infatuated with Jackson. He nodded to get her attention, but her focus was elsewhere.The old patriarch voiced in a domineering tone. “Don’t let me repeat myself! Do as I say!”***With the hel
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 33 - Rewind

They must’ve watched the video from the surveillance room continuously for several hours, searching for clues. The security guards scanned the area surrounding Cloud Manor and even questioned some guests, hoping to find something useful.It was already dark outside, and the poles were the only thing illuminating the streets. As if it was a bad omen, menacing clouds obscured the moon.Although it was late, Elena and Jackson kept at it, going through the surveillance once more. The only time they stopped for a break was when a knock on the door interrupted them.With a slight irritation written all over her face, Elena mumbled. “Come in!”A security guard walked in. With audible dismay in his tone, he uttered. “Miss… W-We found something…”Elena noticed the fright in the man’s eyes. She kept her cool when she asked him. “What is it?”The security guard remained silent as if he was searching for the words, which made Elena even more anxious. “Out with it! What happened?”“Y-Yes… Someone
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 35 - Rebels
Their conversation buffed Jackson. In his twenty something years, he never heard of any rebels. He joined them with a question of his own. “What’s going on?”Amber ignored him once more and continued. “Bryce, check for nearby concentrations of the same algae I just uploaded!”“Excuse me…?”“On it, boss!”Irritated, Jackson banged his hand on the door. The thud he produced got the attention of Amber. “What?!”“Will you tell me what’s going on, please?”Amber sighed. “Bryce, fill him in while I continue my research, in case I missed something…”[Oh, man… Do I have to?]“Yes! Otherwise, he’ll just annoy me…”[Fine! Give me some time to finish something and I’ll get back to you.]The holographic projection of Bryce ended, and Amber looked at Jackson with visible irritation in her eyes. “Shoo! Go someplace else!”Jackson walked away from the van after Amber requested him to do so. With the device at hand, he sat at the stairs of Cloud Manor and waited for Bryce to call back.In the meantim
