As Simon trudged through the front door, exhausted from the useless discussion he had with Ash, his mother greeted him with an unexpected mix of amusement and annoyance."'Simon, did you really go all the way to the neighboring city to get food?' she asked, her hands on her hips."Simon hesitated, knowing he was in trouble. 'I, uh, Mom...'"His mother raised an eyebrow. You've kept us waiting for a long while! You deserve a punishment, young man...'"Simon prepared himself for the worst, but his mother's next words caught him off guard:"'Your punishment is... to give me a body massage.”Simon chuckled. "Well, well, you’re going to get it. When do you want the massage?""After the meal," his mother replied.Everyone ate to their heart's content, and after taking her last gulp of water, Simon's mother smiled widely. "Simon, this meal was so delicious! The punishment I gave you is forgiven. But next time, go with Cass so I don’t starve waiting for you."She turned to Cass. "What do you

Ash nodded, masking her frustration with a forced smile. "Okay, Grandma."As she climbed back into her car, her thoughts simmered with rage. Simon. That bastard. How dare he put me through this nonsense? Her grip tightened on the steering wheel, and under her breath, she muttered, "He’ll pay for this. One way or another."The engine roared to life, but her mind was elsewhere, plotting her revenge. What a nuisance he is.When she finally arrived at the Katherine mansion, the matriarch was waiting, her expression calm but serious. "Ash, the chairman's secretary just sent us Simon’s new contact details."Ash blinked, caught off guard. "Wait... Simon didn’t block me? He changed his number?" A dark chuckle escaped her lips. "Wow, Simon. Well played. Thumbs up to you."The matriarch’s stern voice cut through Ash’s sarcasm. "Silence, Ash. Now, here's what you’re going to do. Call Simon and ask him to come over. You can apologize, like a proper wife, and we’ll avoid escalating this matter."A
The Betrayed Son in Law Rise to Influence The matriarch fell on her knees
For days, Ash relentlessly called Simon, but each ring only brought her deeper into frustration. He was ignoring her—intentionally. The sound of her name flashing on his phone sent a wicked smile across his face every time, yet he refused to answer. Simon had made up his mind to punish her, and he was going to make her sweat.Ash's panic grew by the hour. She could barely sleep, plagued by the increasing pressure from her grandmother. The matriarch’s words echoed in her mind: **“You need to fix this, Ash. We can’t afford to lose this deal.”** The weight was crushing her, and with each ignored call, her desperation intensified.Nearly a week passed before her grandmother stormed into the living room. Her face was pale with anger, her voice cold and commanding.“Ash, you need to get Simon on the phone! Do you understand me?” Her sharp tone sliced through the air. “We’re running out of time!”Ash flinched, her hands trembling as she nodded. “I’ve been trying, grandma. He’s not picking up
The Betrayed Son in Law Rise to Influence Rivals Pitted Against Each Other
The moment the matriarch stormed through the door, her fury was like a crackling flame. She didn’t pause; her hands swept across the hallway table, sending vase after vase crashing onto the marble floor. Each shattering blow echoed through the house, a warning to everyone within earshot—stay away. The staff scattered, whispering among themselves, too scared to even clean up the mess she left in her wake.But Ash wasn’t so lucky.“Ash!” The matriarch’s voice cut through the tension like a blade. Ash, halfway up the stairs, froze. Her heart raced as her grandmother’s footsteps grew closer. “Why did you have to cheat on Simon?”Ash swallowed hard, words caught in her throat, but the matriarch didn’t wait for an answer. “And with that useless Liam, no less. He’s done nothing for this family, and now neither have you!” Her words were laced with venom, each one sinking deep into Ash’s gut. “You’ve disgraced us.”Ash’s mouth was dry, her eyes fixed on the ground, wishing the floor would swal
The Betrayed Son in Law Rise to Influence Family Time
Simon leaned against the doorway, his arms crossed as he watched his mother and Cass enter the room. They were both dressed to the nines, their outfits perfectly coordinated like they had planned it all week. A grin tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he held back, waiting for just the right moment to say something.“Wow,” he said, eyes dancing with amusement. “For a second there, I thought we’d only get to watch the credits and the prologue. You know, the parts where they thank everyone but us?”His mother stopped in her tracks, shooting him a look that was both playful and scolding. With a quick flick of her wrist, she swatted his shoulder, barely touching him. “Don’t be cheeky,” she said with a smirk. “You’re lucky we didn’t make you wait another hour.”Simon rubbed his shoulder dramatically, though the light tap had barely registered. “I’m just saying,” he replied, a teasing lilt in his voice. “At this rate, we’ll miss the whole thing. I didn’t know getting ready for a movie n

As he entered the grand hall, the sight was nothing short of magnificent. The walls shimmered in rose gold, and silver petals cascaded from the ceiling like some kind of opulent rain. At one end, stars shone in an ethereal display, casting a soft glow across the room. A lone guitarist played smooth, mellow tunes, his fingers expertly dancing across the strings. The crowd was a mix of high society—men in perfectly tailored tuxedos and women adorned in luxurious ball gowns. Yet, to Simon, they were all actors in a charade, putting on airs to mask the hypocrisy that lies beneath their polished surfaces. He smirked to himself, disgusted at the disguise these so-called elites put on. Just as his mind started wandering deeper into his disdain for Skitt City's upper class, a soft tap on his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts. He turned sharply, his gaze cold and calculating. There stood Esther, Ash’s younger sister. Her timid smile and innocent eyes seemed out of place amidst the lav

As Esther turned to leave, a waiter carrying a tray of champagne and orange juice hurried past, his attention split between the delicate glasses balancing on the tray and the crowded room ahead. He didn’t see Esther step into his path until it was too late. The tray collided with her shoulder, sending a cascade of orange juice and champagne into the air. The liquid splashed across Esther’s dress, and, in a moment of chaos, she stumbled backward—straight into Simon. His shirt soaked up the mess, the sticky liquid soaking through the fabric. Time seemed to freeze for a second as Simon, his posture stiff, stared down at the stain spreading across his chest. His eyes darkened, and his jaw tightened in barely concealed irritation.The waiter paled instantly, his hands shaking as he hurried to apologize. "I—I’m so sorry, sir! It was an accident, I didn’t—"Simon waved him off with a cold look. "It’s fine." His voice was sharp, curt, and final as if the very effort of speaking was a test o

Simon stood before the bathroom mirror, his gaze steady as he dialed Beckley’s number. His reflection remained composed, though his mind was calculating every detail of what was to come. “Beckley,” Simon said, his tone smooth yet commanding. “I need a favor. Bring me the most popular male celebrity present at this event. Have him meet me in the men’s bathroom. Immediately.”Beckley responded with his usual promptness. “Consider it done, young master. He’ll be there in two to three minutes.”Simon slipped his phone back into his pocket, his jaw tightening as he awaited the final piece of his plan. Minutes later, Paris, a well-known celebrity with a sharp, charismatic presence, entered the bathroom. His every movement screamed confidence, a man used to attention and luxury. He smirked when he saw Simon, curious yet unbothered.“Mr. Simon,” Paris greeted casually. “What’s this about?”Simon wasted no time with small talk. “I need you to help me with something. You’ll be compensated gene

The VIP section of the club oozed luxury. Soft, golden lighting highlighted the opulence of the space—marble floors, sleek leather chairs, and low tables scattered with bottles of wine worth more than most people’s monthly salaries. The scent of expensive cologne mingled with the faint tang of alcohol. Simon leaned back in his chair, his fingers loosely gripping a glass of wine, his sharp gaze watching the scene before him. Influential men, the so-called titans of industry, lounged at their tables, each surrounded by women eager to please. Their laughter and flirtations filled the air, but Simon barely paid attention. His lips curled into a smirk as he observed one older man struggling to keep up with the affections of three women at once. The fact that this man and his wife are the role model couple of the city.Disgusting, he thought. The moment was interrupted as Daniel poured more wine into his glass with a grin. Lifting his own glass, Daniel said, “Cheers, Simon. To deals an

As Simon drifted into a deep, unbothered sleep, Beckley was awake, stirring up storms behind the scenes. Midnight was Beckley’s hour, and he used it well, pulling strings to dismantle Jerry’s life piece by piece. By morning, the effects of his work were visible, sending Jerry’s life into a tailspin.News broke early.

“Ms. Helen, you’re actually not caging me here,” Cass said with a warm smile, her voice soft yet sincere. “I honestly feel like I’m part of your family. You make me feel at home.”Ms. Helen’s eyes softened, touched by Cass’s words. She reached out and patted Cass’s hand with a gentle squeeze. “Well, that’s lovely to hear, dear,” she said in her kind, motherly tone. “I want you to feel comfortable here like you belong.”“Thank you so much for the offer,” Cass continued, her expression bright with gratitude. “I’d love to work as a part-time nurse from 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon at a care home nearby, so you wouldn’t have to worry about my hours conflicting with your needs.”“That’s good to hear,” Ms. Helen replied with a nod, a hint of relief in her voice. She stretched her arms gently, already looking a bit drowsy. “I think I’m going to take a nap now, dear.”“Of course, Ms. Helen,” Cass replied, standing up and offering her arm. “Let me help you get settled.”Cass guided

The drive home blurred into a haze of streetlights and buildings as his thoughts churned. By the time he pulled into the driveway, his jaw was clenched, and his fingers ached from gripping the wheel too tightly.He needed to keep it together for his mother. He couldn’t let her see how rattled he was.Inside the house, the familiar smell of dinner welcomed him, along with the comforting sight of his mother and Cass already seated at the dining table. His mother looked healthier than ever, her cheeks flushed with color, a far cry from the pale and fragile woman she had been months ago. Simon allowed himself a small moment of relief. At least she was okay.Cass gave him a warm smile as he sat down, her eyes sparkling with their usual kindness. She had always been a rock in their lives, especially during his mother’s illness, and Simon was grateful for her presence.

He unlocked the phone and saw a message from Del, his assistant: "Business meeting with foreign investors at Socok Club, 4 p.m."His jaw tightened as he read the message. Midnight. It wasn’t even morning yet, and already the weight of his schedule was pressing down on him. He fired off a terse reply: "Ok."He threw the phone on the bed beside him, running a hand over his face, the frustration simmering beneath his cool exterior. “Why the hell is Del messaging me at midnight?” he muttered to himself. This wasn’t the first time she’d disrupted what little downtime he had.Gosh, Del is such an annoying assistant, he thought bitterly. Always sending reminders at the worst times.He felt a pang of guilt almost immediately. Del wasn’t incompetent—far from it. She handled his chaotic schedule and endless demands better than anyone else ever had. But lately, everything felt overwhelming. No matter how well things went, there was always something new to deal with, some meeting, some investor,

Esther sat on the cold floor, her face streaked with tears, her once-neatly styled hair now a tangled mess. Her clothes clung to her, wrinkled and soiled from the fall. Her chest heaved with uneven sobs, her trembling hands barely able to wipe away the tears. The hallway that had been crowded moments ago was now eerily silent, save for the distant echo of shoes tapping as people walked away, laughing at her as if she were a spectacle.For a moment, she stayed there, too humiliated to move, her heart pounding in her ears. Then, she felt a shadow loom over her. Looking up through her tear-streaked eyes, she saw Simon standing above her. His cold, calculating eyes bore into her as he crouched down, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to meet his gaze. His lips curled into a sneer.“Esther,” he began, his voice dripping with disdain. “The next time you want to play these dirty, childish games, you better find someone else as your partner. Do you understand me, idiot?” His grip tightene
