Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 30 - Powerful Youth
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
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 31 - Behind Closed Doors
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
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 32 - Two Dozen Commoners
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
A week went by, and Jackson had arranged jobs and accommodation for most of the people he rescued from the West family.A commoner amongst them was a gardener. During the waiting period, the man created a beautiful garden and even built him a kiosk with a bench and a table.It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was enough for Jackson to offer him a job, which he gladly accepted.Naomi returned to Southfield to help people get accustomed to their new lives.Alicia stayed for a little longer before taking a few people and returning to her family.Bellamy, after a week of getting away from Amira West, could finally get out of bed. He had injuries in most of his body, along with scrapes, bruises, and cuts. Not to mention a few broken bones that hadn’t healed properly because she wouldn’t take him to a doctor.He survived because the rest of the commoners cared for him during their time there. They would patch him up and keep him alive.Both Jackson and Bellamy were grateful.One girl stayed by
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 34 - Attack
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
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 36 - A Lover's Fury
A village burnt to the ground appeared as the antithesis of the surrounding serene canvas of greenery.The chirping of birds came from the distance. Bursts of wind silenced the animals, which made it even more eerie. It would raise ashes, creating a suffocating gray mist.Jackson, dumbfounded with welled crimson eyes, tried his hardest to breathe by covering his nose with a piece of cloth, filtering the stuffed air. He couldn’t believe the sight in front of him.At first, he thought it was an illusion created by the low oxygen in his brain. He couldn’t wrap his head around it, thinking his eyes played tricks. He resisted the urge to rub them, to not worsen the situation. Stunned, Jackson stared at the girl at the door. Several scenarios went through his mind. The last thing he expected to find was the girl he searched for.With a similar expression, Tia blacked out in front of the young man. Her turquoise eyes almost went white from surprise. “Why?”From the corners of his eyes, Jacks
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 37 - Collision
As soon as she heard Jackson’s words, Tia ejected from her seat. Her breathing became heavy, as if she was on the brink of a panic attack. “Who are they? Do they know about me?!”Jackson tried to calm her down. “Relax! Nobody knows about you. I didn’t even know until you opened the door…”The girl paced back and forth. She fidgeted with her fingers and approached the window to peek outside. “Come to think of it, how did you find me?”“You getting taken was like an abduction in Southfield. Whoever it was, they took Aria Brown’s sister. The people I came with suspected the rebels…”Jackson would continue talking until he saw the expression on Tia’s face. He found it strange, but he soon understood that she had nothing to do with that.He pondered for several seconds, lost in thought. Jackson got up from the armchair to stretch his feet. He paced back and forth while thinking. “It makes little sense…!”He then turned to Tia with a somewhat surprised look on his face. “Who were the friends
