THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 151
The poker game between Carlos and Derek began.There weren’t many people watching because Derek wasn’t famous. He was just a low-level pickpocketer in the neighborhood. Nevertheless, Derek’s friends were closely watching every move that Carlos made. His friends kept signaling what cards Carlos had, which was highly unethical. His friends should be punished for that, but the management guys didn’t even warn them.Carlos, however, didn’t care. At least, he acted like he didn’t care because he was going to teach them a lesson anyway.Derek started with a bankroll of 10,000 dollars. An amount that was already the best he could afford.Carlos, however, started with much less because he was supremely confident about utterly thrashing Derek without suffering a single loss.Even with Derek’s friends watching his every move closely, Carlos gave them no chance to see what cards he possessed. He was swift with his movements, and so Derek’s friends were at a loss.(Useless fuckers.) Derek cursed
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 152
Evastar was a habitual drinker and gambler. There were nights when he wouldn’t be able to sleep without drinking and gambling.Even today, he felt that itch to play poker.But the thing was, not all were eager to play against Evastar as he had more than seventy winning percentage. Most of those losses came because he had to intentionally lose to lower the suspicion. People would say, ‘the stronger the opponent, the greater he shines.’In the Origin casino, however, he was yet to lose a single game. Because the owner of the casino was someone he was acquainted with, and because he was only taking some of the profits of the casino through his wins and thus not bringing them any losses, Thomas didn’t really care to keep Evastar in check. So, Origin casino was more like a weekend spot for Evastar.Currently, Evastar was again on a roll. He used the 10 million dollars worth of chips to lure the big players into challenging him, and he profited over 30 million dollars.At some point, everyb
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 153
The news of Evastar losing spread throughout the casino faster than a wildfire, and a lot of people came to view the poker game. Even the gamblers and drinkers stopped their endeavors and surrounded the hottest table to watch the game.Carlos didn’t like the attention because he wasn’t wearing a mask now.Evastar, however, felt all the more excited and wanted to win against Carlos.The next game started, and Evastar won this time. He earned about 7 million dollars.“Haha, this has to be expected.”“It’s already difficult to defeat Evastar once, but doing it twice in a row is impossible.”The crowd chattered as the next round quickly started.However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Carlos won this round and made almost 10 million dollars.“Evastar lost again?”“This is hard to believe. I’m not dreaming, right?”While the crowd watched in shock, the fourth round was again won by Carlos, and he won almost 40 million dollars this time.“H-He defeated Evastar twice in a row!”“Unbeli
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 154
Carlos wanted to follow Evastar, but because he had to collect his earnings of 5.4 billion dollars, he had to wait at the casino. This was an amount that needed the presence of the owner of the casino, Thomas Origins.Thomas recognized Carlos straight away, but he didn’t mind giving the money because it wasn’t the casino’s money. Most of the money Carlos won belonged to Evastar and other players. The casino didn’t lose much, so he didn’t feel the need to particularly challenge Carlos who he could tell was much stronger than before.After transferring the money to Carlos’ account, Thomas personally escorted Carlos outside.“You’ve gotten strong, but the world is quite big and vast,” Thomas said. “Life Leechers and Soul Suckers are not characters you can ever defeat. You might have awakened, but still, you can’t defeat a pureblood no matter what tricks you may use. That’s a gap you cannot ever bridge.”“Why are you warning me?” Carlos couldn’t help but ask. “It’s not like we’re friends
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 155
Evastar, after losing over five billion dollars, wanted to do something nasty to let all his anger out. He wanted to kill Carlos, but only after he won against him. Otherwise, his pride would forever have dents in it.“Enjoy your moments while you can, Carlos,” Evastar thought. “Once I figure you out, I’ll drink all of your blood and grow even smarter.”While it was possible for ‘flesh-eating’ vampires to shapeshift into animals, they still couldn’t transform into the humans they had consumed.Evastar had tried it plenty of times, but it never worked.From the casino, Evastar came straight to Thomas’ old villa, where he had kept the women. There were guards stationed outside.“Nobody had come in the time I was gone, right?” he inquired the guards.“No, sir.”“Good.” He tossed a stack of 50 dollar notes on the ground and drove his car inside. The guards hurriedly picked it up. Judging by its weight, there must be at least 500 notes inside, so they brightly smiled and shared it equally
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 156
Evastar raised the bottle of blood, but he couldn’t happily drink as he noticed a rather scary image In the mirror of the shelves. It was that of a red-masked man standing right behind him. It was Unstoppable.He recognized the masked man straightaway.Evastar’s instincts screamed to defend himself.Unstoppable swiped his claws at Evastar without warning. A turtle shell formed on Evastar’s back at the last second and blocked his attack. The shell was so durable, Carlos’ claws could only leave scratches.Evastar immediately turned into a humanoid tiger, swiveled and slashed his claws at the opponent’s face.Carlos jumped back and dodged the claws, but the tiger tail extended and caught him and wrapped itself around his waist tightly.(He can stretch his tail?) Carlos didn’t expect that.Evastar pulled Carlos closer. Flames leaked out of his claws and he swiped at Carlos without mercy. “Feline Flame Claw!”Carlos’ chest was torn open, and black blood gushed out.Evastar firmly caught Un

Charles stood outside, feeling hesitant to open the door because he didn’t know what kind of state Laurel and Sofia were in.He honestly didn’t care if they hurt Sofia one way or another, but the same couldn’t be said for Laurel.If anything bad had happened to Laurel, Charles would probably find Evastar and kill him. That was the kind of rage he felt.Using that rage, he opened the door in haste, only to see both the women lying unconscious on the floor.He checked upon them. Their vitals were stable, and they didn’t seem to have suffered any physical injuries. “He must have kidnapped them for money then? Wait…”Just then, he noticed that there were delicate bite marks on the back of both their necks, which was something he had never seen before.“A bite on the back of the neck? What did he do to them?” Charles thought about it, but he couldn’t find an answer right now.His priority currently was to take these two women out of this place and into safety, so he put all his thoughts a
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 158
The screams of the women made Charles quickly rush out of the bathroom. “Is everything alright?”“C-Charles?” Both Laurel and Sofia were bewildered to see him.“Y-You were the one that kidnapped us?” Laurel asked in shock. Crazy calculations began to run rampantly in her mind.“What? No!” Charles quickly denied. “I was the one that brought you out of the room where you were kept.”“Y-You saved us?” Laurel and Sofia looked at each other. The last thing they remembered was getting kidnapped and put in the same room. They didn’t remember anything about meeting Evastar and what had happened afterward.“Yeah. I had to fight quite a few guys to get to you two,” Charles explained a story he made up on the spot.Both the women completely believed him, especially because Sofia had personally seen Charles fight, and Laurel had also seen that scene on television.“H-How did you find us?” Sofia couldn’t help but ask. “I had to bribe some people in the shadows. You don’t want to know about it.”“H

EPILOGUE
The next morning.Victoria woke up and did not receive a bed coffee. She went to the kitchen,only to find a letter there on the fridge.Cassey had written a letter and disappeared. In the letter, she thanked Victoria for her care, and apologized for leaving this way because she knew Victoria wouldn’t let her go otherwise.“The bats must have really scared her,” Victoria couldn’t really blame Cassey, but she was still angry that Cassey left without even telling directly to her face. “If she comes back running after a few months, I won’t take her in.”On the other hand, Gregory, having lost his argument with Victoria the previous night, brought a black magician to chase the bats away. However, they didn’t know this black magician was a fake. But that would probably be not proven because the bats would no longer attack the mansion from here onward.Sofia told her mother to prepare her multiple masks, one of which looked like Cassey, and others that looked like different people, including
CHAPTER 253
Many minutes passed since Sofia and others got stuck in the smelly basement filled with rat poop and what not. Moreover, these rats were the size of cats. From having eaten all kinds of roots and seeds in the garden, they grew very bulky, and they did not fear these four humans. They were more arrogant than the Myers themselves, as if they were the real owners of this place!As everyone waited with bated breaths, about an hour or so later, the music stopped. The sound of bats leaving reached their ears.“Did they leave?” Sofia wondered. She told Cassey to check on it, but Cassey was still feeling her wounds. She refused to go out.They waited a few minutes before coming out. To their relief, the bats were gone, and so did the guitar, but they didn’t care about the guitar.“Our mansion must be cursed,” Victoria looked at Gregory. “Do something.”“What do you want me to do? Bring some black magicians?” he yelled in frustration.“I don’t know! Just make sure they won’t even come near our
CHAPTER 252
In the middle of the night, Sofia was rolling around and slapping her arms every now and then because bugs were biting her. There was no fan or AC in this cottage. All she had was a hand fan, and her arms had grown heavy from waving the fan. Now, she was completely drenched in sweat, and this made it all the more difficult for her to properly sleep.She got up from the couch and shook her dress before walking out of the cottage. She could see the mansion in the distance. The words her mother told her a day ago came to her mind.“After the wedding was stopped, we didn’t care about anything. But your sister went to the catering guys and told them to give the food to the homeless. They went and freely distributed the food throughout the city in our family’s name,” Victoria showed the details in the newspaper. “This is good for us because the public opinion will surely improve after this incident. We’re doing our best to make those videos Carlos showed at the wedding are fake. Even if som
CHAPTER 251
After shooting Carlos eight times, Sofia ran away from the scene.Not only were there multiple witnesses, there was also a camera recording of the scene, which was provided as evidence to the police before the Myers family could do anything about it. So, the police began to search for Sofia everywhere.While Sofia was on the run, Carlos Wallace a.k.a, Charles Wallace was officially declared dead. And all those who knew him mourned his death.His story of Charles Wallace had become so popular it was printed in multiple magazines, and a popular writer had announced that he would be writing a biography of Carlos, and he requested some funds for researching in depth about the life of Carlos Wallace. Within just a few days, the author received thousands of dollars as funds from the interested public.Victoria and Gregory, on the other hand, publicly stated that they have nothing to do with their eldest daughter’s actions and did not support what Sofia had done. However, in secret, they mai

Sofia was too stunned to even talk or blink for that matter. Seeing Carlos had frozen her to the core.“C-Carlos!” Victoria shouted like a pig walking on broken glass. “Why are you disguised as Charles? What have you done to him? Where is he?”“He’s… standing right before you,” Carlos raised the face mask in his hand. “I’m Carlos. And I’m Charles.”Victoria’s eyes grew wider than the seas. The wine glass in her hand fell.“I’m Carlos Wallce. I’m Charles Wallace,” Carlos added. “I’m the guy that has been treated like a trash, not worth her time, by Sofia no matter how much I tried to please her, and I’m also the guy that she has fallen for because she believed she deserved me when I was a gambler who earns in millions every match.”Sofia still kept stupidly staring in gut-busting shock. (No! No! No! This can’t be true! This must be a dream! It has to be!) She refused to accept what was transpiring right before her eyes.However, why wasn’t the nightmare ending?Why was Carlos still sta

Charles was preparing in his room all by himself. Someone knocked on the door multiple times.“Coming.” Charles opened the door only to get shocked to see Laurel who had wet eyes, and there was anger dwelling in her eyes. She entered the room without his permission and locked the door. “What are you doing?”She looked into his eyes. “Didn’t you say you can’t make a woman pregnant? Why are you marrying Sofia?”Charles maintained a straight face. “You will know soon.”“What do you mean I’ll know soon?” Laurel frowned.“That’s all I can say. If you leave, I’ll prepare for the wedding,” Charles said.Laurel clenched her fist. “I hate you, Charles. I wish I never met you.” Holding her tears back, she rushed out of the room.Charles pursed his lips and took a deep breath. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he hated whom he was seeing.Meanwhile, in another room, Sofia was looking at herself in the mirror with a bouquet in her hand, she felt so happy. Her mother kissed her and said, “F
CHAPTER 248
Almost a week later, the wedding day has arrived.The Sky Moon Hotel’s rooftop was chosen as the wedding venue. All the top three floors were reserved for 120,000 dollars for three days and nights so that the guests could stay at the hotel for three more days after the wedding.Gregory had to do at least this much because it was his eldest daughter’s wedding. Everybody that was given the invitation cards were also later sent Myers’ branded clothes fitting to their body sizes so that everybody who would come to the wedding would be wearing the clothes of his brand and his brand only.Though no press was allowed at the wedding, some private photographers were hired to capture every moment so that Gregory could later use the footage to market his brand all over the world. After all, many billionaires from around the world were invited to the wedding, and even more guests to the reception that would follow the morning after the wedding night.The Sky Moon Hotel was a 120-floored building
CHAPTER 247
Charles spent a few hours with Bob and Charlie, eating with them and buying them things. He parted with them in the evening.As Charles was walking back home, he thought back about his life. Many years ago, when he was very young, he was alone. Even after these years, that didn’t seem to have changed as he didn’t have anyone that would walk beside him.Charles was aimlessly walking, and he noticed a few men trying to look from an old beggar. They managed to take more than a hundred dollars from the beggar, but they still wanted more, and they began to rip his clothes, trying to see if he was hiding the money elsewhere.The beggar was old and weak, so he couldn’t fight back against the two youngsters.Charles approached from behind and grabbed their necks. They couldn’t move their necks, not even a little.“Give his money back,” Charles uttered, putting a bit more strength into his grip, and the youngsters quickly dropped the money. Charles then let go of them, and they ran away pretty
