The Contracted Son-in-law Chapter Twenty-two
Ryan was about to leave the mansion, his keys in hand, when Jane suddenly opened the passenger door and slid into his car."Aren't you heading to the bank?" she asked, her eyes fixed ahead. "Lauren convinced me to follow you. Did you think you have the chance of getting the loan without my help?" She didn’t bother looking at him.He didn’t respond, just turned the ignition, and they rolled out of the mansion."Well, we shall find out," he thought inwardly.They arrived at the Galaxy Bank. Jane strutted ahead, her gown hugging her figure perfectly and her designer handbag radiating wealth and class, while Ryan kept it simple in his simple t-shirt and denim jeans. Heads subtly turned in their direction as they walked, most eyes lingering on Jane.He leaned closer and whispered in her ear. “Is this how you turn heads everywhere you go, or am I just overthinking how beautiful you look right now?”She shot him a sideways glance but didn’t say a word, keeping her pace steady as they conti

After Ryan left Brian’s office, Jane pleaded with Brian to approve the loan for Ryan once the guard was gone, but Brian refused.“There’s only one way I’ll change my mind,” Brian said, leaning in to kiss her.But before he could, Jane pressed her hand against his chest and pushed him back slightly, taking a small step away.He smirked. "That is the only way I can make that happen, Jane."He then walked back to his seat."You have my contact. Let me know when you are ready. If you want it done right now, we can do a quickie. What do you say?” He smirked.But Jane did not respond. Instead, she stormed out of the office, silently cursing him under her breath. This was exactly why she had not found a man she truly wanted. Every guy she had met or who had proposed to her was only after her body—none of them checked the boxes she cared about.“If I had known he was the new manager, I wouldn’t have followed Ryan here,” she muttered, frustrated, as she headed outside. She assumed Ryan would

"Someone who gets things done," Ryan smirked. Jane, still shaken by recent events, could not help but ask another question as they drove home."How did you get the cops to show up so quickly without going to the station to file a report?" she inquired, curiosity evident in her voice.He glanced at her with a smile. "Don't you remember someone's been hanging around the police station a lot lately?""As it turns out, a high-ranking officer appreciates how I've been playing hero to stop awful things—unlike you—and we've become acquainted," he added.When she pressed him about the cop's identity, he smirked. "Why are you so eager to know who it is?"Deciding not to push the issue further, she fell silent, her mind racing with unanswered questions. Her thoughts were interrupted when he spoke again."I think it will be better to visit your grandmother tomorrow morning to tell her about this. I think she would be impressed to hear about this. Who would have thought we could pull it off?" he

As Ryan had expected, the rest of Jane's family was gathered in the living room, deep in conversation. Unlike Ryan, Jane was surprised to see her family meeting without her. They were equally shocked to see her and Ryan show up uninvited.“What’s going on here?” Jane demanded, her tone sharp with confusion, though she was not addressing anyone specific.“Why are you here, Jane? Didn’t grandmother already disown you?” Ethan sneered.“Actually—" Jane began, but Ryan cut her off before she could finish.“We thought it would be polite to visit my father-in-law one last time before my wife gets disowned,” he said.Jane's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ryan, but he didn’t meet her gaze.“Seems like Grandmother has already made her decision before the deadline even hit,” he added with a smirk.Grandmother scoffed, turning her gaze to Jane. “So, you’ve finally decided to spend the rest of your life with this loser who has nothing but a blurry dream? How pathetic.”She continued, “Sin

Everyone's eyes widened in shock at Ryan's words."What did you just say?" Ethan scoffed, his voice dripping with derision.Ryan shrugged casually. "I’m pretty sure everyone heard me loud and clear. My wife and I may have figured out a way to get the shipment back."Ethan shot to his feet, furious. "Do you think this is some kind of joke?! How dare you make light of grandmother's words?!"But Ryan stayed calm, his face unreadable.Ethan turned to Jane, who was still in shock."I don’t blame him, but you to bring this loser into our family, someone who doesn’t take things seriously," he spat at her.To his surprise, their grandmother stepped in and calmly told him to sit down."And what is this solution of yours?" Grandmother demanded. Ryan chuckled. "You don’t really expect me to spill the plan, do you? We can’t have everyone here taking credit for it.""You think this is a game? In case you and your wife are too dumb to realise, this is about survival! The survival of this family's

Stopping his car on a quiet street where he and Emma had agreed to meet, Ryan alighted and strode over to her car."It's really you," she chuckled immediately after he entered the car. "Well, yes. Here I am. And thanks for helping me out yesterday." He thanked her, smiling."You know, I was surprised when your uncle told me about you? Why did you choose this life?" She inquisitively asked him.He chuckled. "After what happened to my family—the incident that nearly cost me my life—I decided to leave it all behind and live a quiet, simple life. But I guess I was never meant for that kind of life."Her eyes widened in shock. "Wait, so Jane Lin has no idea who you really are?"He explained that only she and his uncle knew the truth about his identity."And I intend to keep it that way," he added. “Then why are you married to her?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity. She leaned forward, trying to grasp his real motive behind keeping his identity a secret."I didn’t come here to

At the edge of a silent riverside, the only sounds breaking the stillness were the soft lap of waves against the shore and the distant rumble of an approaching truck. Ryan was the person behind the wheel.The truck came to a halt beside his parked car, where his uncle was already waiting.As soon as Ryan parked the truck, he alighted from there."How did it go?" his uncle asked as Ryan pulled off his mask."Mission accomplished," Ryan responded, urgency in his voice as he headed straight for the truck’s back. He began unloading the shipment he had hijacked from the cops, who had been transporting it to a "secure location," the commissioner had announced in a press conference earlier, where it would be stashed.Thanks to Emma’s tip, he had known exactly when and where the cops would be transporting the shipment, and he had pulled off the heist by outsmarting and overpowering them, all while keeping his face hidden behind a mask."Are you just going to stand there, or do I need to spel

While Ryan was in the shower, Jane slipped into his room and sat on the bed, waiting to ask him the questions that had been plaguing her since he showed her the shipments, knowing it would take a small army to pull off something like that.As he stepped into the bedroom, still dripping with water, their eyes locked, creating a palpable tension between them.For a moment, she swallowed hard, stunned by the sight of his sculpted abs and defined biceps, the water glistening on his skin.He shook his head slightly, breaking the silence and snapping her out of her daze."Is it because you own this house that you think you can just invade my privacy?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Ever heard of knocking?"She quickly apologised before getting to the question weighing on her mind.He scoffed. "You are surprised I could pull off what no one in your family could? If you had believed me when I said I would, it wouldn't be such a shock.""I'm not leaving until you tell me how you got the shipm
