THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 85
Carlos didn’t go to dinner even though Samuel had invited him. The reason was simple. He had no bank balance. He didn’t have the money to buy even a good suit, either. So he could only waste his time by roaming around the city in the dark.A couple of thugs tried to rob him. He gave them 100 dollars each, but they asked for more. And he gave them more. Beatings.Fang loved it. But he didn’t like that Carlos hadn’t taken the money back from them. If it was up to Fang, he could have probably stolen what the thugs had on them.Other than that, nothing noteworthy happened. Carlos returned back to his room, hoping to get a reply from Akira.He saw an envelope and roses plastered to the door. He quickly opened the envelope and checked the contents with expectation. There was a note, and a credit card inside. It was a special use-and-throw card given by the Supreme Bank. It was known as the Castcard. Once all the money inside was used up, no more money would be added, and the account would b

Bob and Charlie had escaped from the orphanage and met Thomas in the jail with the help of an adult. And then they came back to the grocery store because they had no other place to stay. They had previously stayed on the third floor, but now, since the orphanage people might be looking for them, they broke the sealing blocking the way to the rooftop, wanting to live in the single room on the fourth floor.However, to their surprise, they found the room door open. They were sure it was locked when they had seen it in the past from the nearby buildings, so someone must have broken in, they thought.Just when they were thinking they would face no problems here, they were naturally shocked to see the door open.The window was also closed, so they kept pushing and telling each other to peek inside through the door. After some wrestling, Bob got tired and decided to peek inside, and he did. However, he saw Carlos cooking a meal.“Brother Carlos!” Bob rushed in and hugged him. Soon, Charlie
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 87
Gregory was momentarily stunned to see Charles with the Sehla family. However, the doubt that he might be working with them never crossed his mind. In fact, he thought the Sehla family was also interested in him, given how the whole family was present at the table. This was no simple invitation, he thought. And now he understood why Andrew had let him inside without any issues. It was probably so Gregory could see that they had their eyes on Charles as well.“Mr. Gregory,” Samuel got out of his seat and gave Gregory a hug. “It’s so nice that you came to our house.”“It’s a pleasure to me as well,” Gregory responded, but on the inside, he was mocking the fact that Samuel had his hat on even inside the house. “And I see that ‘Super Freaking Famous Charles’ is also here. It really is a good day.”Charles forced out a smile. (What the hell is this guy doing here?) He didn’t like that Samuel hadn’t told him anything about Gregory coming. He couldn’t help but feel tense.“Oh, so you know ea

On the same evening, Charles took Naida to a music concert. He had to spend 40 grand for the VIP tickets so that both of them would get to meet the music artists behind the stage after the event finished.Naida got so excited when she met her favorite music band Frickin’ Blues. She completely forgot about Charles.Charles ended up visiting the dressing hall behind. There were musical instruments. He picked up a guitar and started playing one of the tunes of the Frickin’ Blues. After two minutes, the music stopped.A clapping noise reached his ears. He looked toward the entrance, and to his surprise, Narika was standing there.“I didn’t know you could play like this,” she walked over to him. “Mind playing another song… for me?”“Uh…” Charles didn’t want to let Naida see him with Narika. “Sorry, but I’m not good at playing when there are other people around me.” He gave a random excuse.Narika kept staring at him as if she didn’t believe his lie. She then sighed, “Alright. Let’s go and

Adam Conreid, despite being 40 years of age, had a hauntingly handsome look. Though he didn’t have the best hair like Charles, his gaze was sharp enough to easily pierce the hearts of women with a mere look. He had this natural seductive smile that was hard to resist even for Sofia who would actively avoid dating someone older than her.Her past boyfriends were mostly younger than her. Andres was days younger than her, whereas Carlos was a couple of years younger.“Dear, I heard you were married,” Adam spoke to Sofia in a refreshing tone. “And I know a broken marriage leaves scars. So it’s good to see that you’ve chosen a concert for our first date.”“It did leave some scars,” Sofia played innocently while tugging his arm. They were experts in dating at this point, so they skipped all forms of trivialities and acted like they had known each other for a year. “He used to say I was his sunshine, and then he had gone into the night, forever.”“It must have hurt you,” Adam pitied her. “I’

Charles and Naida stepped down from the stage. Adam could see that Sofia was looking at Charles. And he didn’t like that.“Why don’t we go shopping, dear?” Adam suggested. “I want to buy you some things.”“Really? How sweet of you,” Sofia wouldn’t reject it when someone wanted to buy her things. “I’m going to have a blast, I’m sure.” She purposely spoke loud so that Charles and Naida could hear her words.While Charles acted like he didn’t care, Naida squeezed his arm. “Let’s go shopping, too.”Charles grinned like a Cheshire cat. His quick response pleased Naida. However, she had no idea Charles was waiting for something like this. The setting couldn’t have been better, he thought.They both followed Sofia and Adam to the VIP parking zone. Adam and Sofia got into a Bugatti Centodieci and drove off fast.Naida looked at her Lamborghini Sian which was much cheaper than Adam’s car. She could only swallow her frustration as she entered her car. She drove the car and followed Adam’s car.
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 91
Sofia bought earrings worth 11 million dollars. Adam was smiling. Sofia bought a nose ring worth 3.2 million dollars. Adam was smiling. Sofia bought a bracelet worth 16.7 million dollars. Adam was still smiling. Sofia bought a pair of toe rings worth 1.3 million dollars. Adam kept on smiling. Sofia didn’t look like she was going to stop anytime soon, and when her eyes fell on a diamond studded princess belt worth 444 million dollars, Adam’s smile vanished like vapor. He leaned closer and said, “If I buy that, my dad will come to your house and take back all the items I bought you.” Sofia’s expression changed. She could somewhat understand Adam’s worry. “Ahem, I wasn’t going to buy that dear. It’s too diamond studded for my taste.” “Mm,” Adam showered a charismatic smile, feeling happy that Sofia was able to play along without any worries. Naida looked at Charles as if he could buy her the diamond-studded belt. Charles didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He only returned her a

Most of the money Akira had given to Charles was squandered on Naida. He regretted that, but he regretted playing a song for her even more. The time spent with her, every second of it, he wanted to forget all of it if possible.He didn’t want to even glance in Sehla family’s direction anymore, but they were crucial in his plans to bring down the Myers family.Fang, who had been unnaturally silent for almost a day, began yelling all of a sudden as if he just woke up from his slumber. “I know you have a terrible history when it comes to picking up women, but how dare that little cunt Naida treat us like we’re King Bearfart’s slippers?” Since slippers were always in pairs, Fang compared their duo with them, which Charles didn’t like. “And how long are you going to wear this pathetic mask of Charles?” Fang questioned. “What’s the point of being so powerful when you can’t be yourself?”“What do you mean ‘I’m not being myself?’” Charles fumed at Fang. “I know what I’m doing. I will get the

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
CHAPTER 250
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
CHAPTER 249
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
