The Mysterious Son-In-Law A Forced Collaboration
Kuza instantly froze when she felt the cold stones adorn her neck. However, this was quickly replaced with the warmth of Dennis towering over her."Wh-what are you doing?" She stuttered, still taken aback by the gift.Slowly, she raised her hand to her neck and felt the intricate patterns of the necklace and turned to Dennis, her eyes glimmering in the soft light of the room"I love it," Kuza said softly, gazing deep into his eyes.Of course, she did, Dennis thought. That was a seven-million-dollar necklace sitting on her neck. He had planned to gift it to her after dinner to end a seemingly perfect night, but to keep her from asking much, he decided to steal her focus with it.As Dennis went back to his seat and settled down, suddenly a loud shout resonated in the hall."What?!" One of the people who were dining at the Sky restaurant exclaimed. Shortly after that, there was a loud echoing of phone beeps happening simultaneously."What?!" Another person exclaimed in shock"I knew all
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The New CEO
Lord Duncan gave Dennis a sweet and gentle smile as he said, "You always had a keen eye to see things beyond your vision Mr Apollo", Sitting next to him, Dennis glanced at the old man with a puzzled look. He drew in a deep breath, sighed and said "I was right then. It's Rico isn't it?", Dennis said and then turned to face the old Lord with a questioning look"What does he want Duncan?" He asked"I'm sorry my good friend, but I can't tell you. It's best that I keep this one a secret", Lord Duncan said At this moment, he glanced and Yura who was now standing with Kuza staring at him contemptuously "Did he tell you that?" Dennis asked subtly. He saw the perplexed look on the old Lord's face and said"Did he tell you to keep it a secret?",However, the man still did not reply, he chuckled lightly and looked away Still, Dennis was not satisfied with the response. This was probably his only chance to get the answers he needed.He turned and leaned forward on the chair, gazing at Lord D
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Control
Kuza immediately answered "Yes". After Rico crashed their date, she felt she had lost her chance with Dennis. But here was another opportunity presented before her.Without much thought, she had agreed to it, without knowing what the dinner was about.Dennis was about to walk out when Lord Duncan called their attention "Why don't you both stay, the dinner is happening in thirty minutes after all." He reasonedDennis glanced at his watch and saw he was right. Going home only to come back out was going to be a time waste and tonight was very important to miss.Without hesitation, he nodded at Lord Duncan and said "Alright","Yura will show you to your rooms and if you need a change of clothes, please let the butler know. We'll leave in ten minutes" he said ****Earlier that afternoon, Sasha had gotten an invite from their anonymous benefactor, to a dinner night. Her mother had called her to the front door when a man dressed in a black suit showed up holding the card. From the car he
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Searching for Mr Right
The doormen opened the doors to the elegant Lopus Hotel. As soon as Sasha walked in, all eyes turned in her direction. The dress her mother had picked for her was one of the few made Chanel dresses.Sasha stood out amongst every girl present at the party, which inadvertently attracted their resentment as most of the men they were flirting with were awestruck by Sasha's beauty.They could tell from the way she carried herself, that she was a respectable woman of high class, probably a member of a high-class family. To most men that were there, she was a golden egg, exactly the illusion her mother Margaret wanted to drive into their head."Excuse me miss, can I get you a drink?" A tall dark Italian man approached her boldly. Sasha glanced at her mother who nodded in approval."Sure" she replied unenthused and followed him. At this moment, several ladies walked past Sasha and muttered "slut" giggling as they walked past her."God she's so desperate and an attention seeker with that outf
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Reveal
Sasha reluctantly went over to the man. Travis Blake was the heir of the Blake's family and their fortune. Their influence was average at best, but what Margaret did not know was that her potential suitor for her daughter was working under the Duncan Companies.The Blakes were typically Lord Duncan's workers. Their generous 'benefactor' could not possibly get jealous seeing Sasha talk to Travis. If anything, he could just end their agreement and The Blake family would be done for.The Duncan family was deeply rooted in the city, all businessmen and people, both the good and bide sides were in relations with them, and after tonight when Dennis would be announced as the head of Duncan Pharmaceuticals, he would also be granted this power.However, Margaret was oblivious to that knowledge. Tonight she was just determined to show off to the other mothers who laughed at the state of her household. Her daughter talking to Travis Blake was attracting some attention.Despite his lowly status
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Benefactor
Kuza smiled at Dennis's compliments. From the looks of things he could tell that that was one of the people from his troubled past.Although she was very annoyed at the scene, she chose not to allow her curiosity ruin their night. Holding tight on to Dennis's hands, they walked to the all you can eat buffet table for some appetiser. As they were selecting their food, Sasha spotted Dennis and coughed up her drink."What the fuck!" She exclaimed in extreme shock, immediately feeling agitated as she saw Kuza draped on Dennis's arms"What are they doing here?" She said angrily and stood up. "What's going on love?" Jackson said calmly holding Sasha's hand. His gaze followed her and met Kuza and Dennis by the food stand."Who are they?" He asked, immediately feeling threatened. Up until that moment, Jackson believed he was the most influential person at the party. He had a self centred complex and could not bear to have another person hoard all the attention from him."Nobody" Sasha repli
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Bet
Just as Lord Duncan introduced himself as the host, Sasha and Margaret felt their plans go down the drain.They did not expect that their anonymous benefactor would be an old man. They had come here with the plan to woo him and entice him with Sasha's beauty into a possible marriage.Was this some sort of mistake or joke? Sasha thought, then turned to her mother staring at her furiously,"What is this mom?" She asked sternlyMargaret quickly replied "Sash..." but was left at a loss for words. Facing her daughter's resentful glare, she felt all her plans circle the drain. She had been singing a different tune all night, acting boastful and turning down men that showed any interest in her daughter, waiting for the mysterious benefactor to show face, won't they could kick off their ultimate plan.But seeing Lord Duncan now, she knew there was no chance in hell that Sasha would want to marry him.She sighed dejectedly and said "I'm sorry honey" and reached hold Sasha, who immediately flun
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Announcement
As soon as Margaret confirmed the deal, Dennis smiled radiantly and extended his hand for a shake. However, Sasha's eyes were still fixed on Kuza like a predator.Quickly, Kuza dragged Dennis away to a quiet place in the room. As soon as they were away from the call, she zeroed in on him "What are you doing? You don't have that kind of money" she said with concern, "I'll have to break into my savings to bring out that kind of money","What are we going to do if we lose this bet?" Kuza voiced her complaint and started feeling frantic immediately"Shhh, shhh" Dennis placed his hand on her lips and shut her up. "We're going to win this bet and when I get that 10 million dollars from that arrogant son of a bitch, I'm going use it to support our research" Dennis tried to reassure her "But what if we don't Dennis? What happens then? I don't want to see you get humiliated or have to bail you out of jail again. Please don't do this" Kuza begged and her eyes softened with worry. Dennis pu

Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?" He sne

Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis.

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

Dennis felt slightly dejected staring at Jon's corpse on the ground. The last few minutes seemed like a blur with a vague recollection of what had happenedHesitantly, he moved closer to Jon's body and noticed a sharp piercing through his head. Dennis raised his hands and searched for any weapons he could have used to do thisAt this point, his heart strangely felt heavy. He knew he had killed Jon, but why was he suddenly feeling remorse for him?Just as he sighed, disheartened, his phone suddenly rang and Dennis retrieved the phone from his pocket to see that it was from DeshaunDennis didn't want to pick up the call as he stared at Deshaun's name on the screen. He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you

There was no need to endanger her lifeWithout any arguments, Sandra did as she was instructed and got into a can heading back to her apartmentAs soon as Dennis parked the car, a call entered his phone immediately. Glancing at Deshaun, he hesitantly answered it"Hello nephew", Jon's deep voice sounded over the microphone"I heard you've been looking for me", he said teasinglyA deep wrinkled frown immediately formed on Dennis's forehead as he spoke "What do you want you old bastard?",Jon chuckled as he asked him in a mysterious manner "Isn't it obvious at this point, I'm not here to negotiate anything with you. I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now.
