The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 18: Blame Together!
"Dulcie, who knows if you skimmed on materials during the project and produced a substandard product, but fearing you couldn't bear the responsibility, you decided to take a risk. After all, you had nothing to lose, so you secretly hid the jewelry piece and then declared it lost. Besides, except for you and your husband, none of us have seen what the King World final product looks like." Jena also stood up, smirking with a wild guess, her face showing no attempt to hide her smugness. "You're talking nonsense, I've never cut corners on materials, and this piece was perfectly crafted!" Dulcie responded, her voice filled with angry indignation. She could tolerate the doubts and criticism from the company's board. But as someone who saw jewelry design as her life's passion, she couldn't bear the humiliation of her work being insulted by them. "Ha ha, that's just laughable." Jena continued mockingly: "You dare to claim your work is the best? From what I see, maybe you felt your piece cou
The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 19: Go To Radiant Harbor!
Elsewhere, having left the Groundswell apartment complex, Theophilus's expression was detached as he made a phone call. “Mr. Jake, I’ve investigated the matter you instructed." Richard reported respectfully from the other end. “Who did it?” Theophilus asked. “It was Orborne who hired someone, from Radiant Harbor... The situation is quite complicated." Richard hesitated. “Meet me at Starlight Sky. I want to know everything.” “Mr. Jake, are you coming here? Where are you? I’ll drive over to pick you up." Richard offered eagerly. “No need.” Theophilus hung up and hailed a taxi on the roadside, heading straight to Starlight Sky. Before returning home with Dulcie, he had instructed Richard to investigate the incident. It was obvious, even if internal company staff had colluded with the thief, turned off surveillance cameras, someone who could infiltrate the company, crack the safe, and steal ‘King World’ without leaving any fingerprints or footprints, must be a professional thief.

Richard had already made a significant decision by involving Theophilus, not expecting him to eliminate Egbert of Radiant Harbor. "Who are you? Do you think it's your turn to speak here?" Rat glared fiercely at Theophilus. "Is this your subordinate?" Egbert coldly looked at Richard, questioning: "Doesn't even know the basic principles of who you bring along?" "Mr. Jake, this is Egbert and Rat. Whatever you decide to do, I'll follow." Richard said solemnly, then stood behind Theophilus. Seeing Richard's respectful attitude towards Theophilus, Egbert frowned, asking: "Who are you?" "Theophilus Jake." Theophilus replied nonchalantly, then looking at Egbert: "I'm asking you, do you have 'King World' in your possession?" "'King World'? Theophilus?" Egbert hesitated as if he had just remembered something, then suddenly burst into laughter. "So, you're Theophilus Jake, the infamous useless son-in-law of the Miller family? Ha ha! Someone like you is worthy to talk to me?" Egbert laughed
The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 21: Missed Opportunity!
Faced with Theophilus steadily approaching, Egbert was terrified and intimidated to the point of weakening knees, clumsily falling to the ground. He kept retreating backward, looking extremely ridiculous. "What are you guys doing standing there? Stop him!" Egbert yelled, frantically ordering his subordinates. However, none of the dozens of henchmen present dared to step forward to stop Theophilus. They were in a state of extreme fear, their eyes filled with panic and respect as they looked at Theophilus. They remembered what had just happened and were still shivering with fear. Damn it, Theophilus wasn't even afraid of bullets, and he had beaten more than a dozen fierce assassins in a minute. How could they possibly confront him? Moving forward would be like committing suicide. Theophilus's cold gaze swept around. Egbert's men, upon being looked at by Theophilus, shuddered and immediately bowed their heads. "Everyone kneel down. Those who don’t submit will die." Theophilus said

"Haiz!" Dulcie sighed deeply, only able to fantasize that Theophilus's words were true, that he had found 'King World'. It seemed like a dream, after all, Theophilus was just an ordinary person, not so capable. "Isn't this our company's design director, Director Dulcie?" Suddenly, a shrill, grating voice was heard. Jena, dressed in an exquisite ceremonial outfit, approached with an air of refined elegance, but her expression was mocking, revealing a scornful demeanor. "Frankly, I don't understand how you have the audacity to attend this exhibition." Jena disdainfully glanced at Theophilus and Dulcie, sneering: "Unable to design a ten-million-dollar piece of jewelry, yet scraping together every penny. Then showing your faces here? It's embarrassing. Oh, right. I forgot. You, so destitute, probably have never witnessed such a grand event?" Jena continued her taunting provocation: "Sadly, this might be your last chance. After today, Dulcie will no longer be the design director, and w
The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 23: 'Eternal Light' And 'King World'!
Jena spoke with a superior air. Theophilus smiled faintly, giving Jena a brief glance. "Who are you to lay eyes on 'King World'? You're just the assistant director of the design department. Your superior, Director Miller, is right here. Is it your turn to shout orders? Can't you even distinguish between superiors and subordinates?" "You...!" Jena's face turned red with fury, glaring at Theophilus furiously. "What makes you so arrogant in front of me?" Jena said angrily, growing more enraged as she thought about it. Theophilus, the useless son-in-law of the Miller family, dared to be so fierce with the eldest daughter of the Miller family? He really wasn't afraid of death! Theophilus calmly said: "In matters of work, I am Assistant to Director Miller. It's my duty to remind you, on her behalf, who the leader is, who the superior is." "Ha ha, Theophilus, do you think just because you've secured the position of assistant director, you can act so high and mighty?" Dante shouted, also
The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 24: Change White For Black!
At that moment, Jena intentionally walked over from her seat. "Dulcie, I don't know what your rubbish design looks like, but let me tell you, my 'Eternal Light', crafted to perfection, will undoubtedly crush your pathetic piece." Jena said arrogantly, believing she was far superior: "Think about it, I've crafted more precious jewelry than you've ever seen! You don't even wear a single piece of fine jewelry, not even something worth ten thousand dollars, and you dare to compare skills with me? Just wait and become a laughing stock! Dreaming of becoming the chief design director, how laughable!" After speaking, Jena turned and left, having intentionally displayed a sense of superiority. Dulcie bit her lip gently; her painstaking work was definitely not trash! "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the big screen." Stella said with a slight smile. The large screen split, displaying 3D images of two high-end diamond necklaces with their own detailed introductions. 'Eternal Light' used
The Noble Son-In-Law Denial Of Inheritance! Chapter 25: The Expensive Price!
After smoothly delivering her lines, Stella Smith smiled and gestured with her hand. The images on the large screen began to change, showcasing the million-dollar jewelry from the previous round. The esteemed guests present turned serious and quickly grabbed the small phones in their hands. These were specialized voting devices distributed for this auction, but they had an additional function: linking to a central system for bidding. The auction was lively, with enthusiastic and generous bidding from the wealthy attendees. Within twenty minutes, the first round of bidding for the million-dollar jewelry concluded. During this time, Dulcie grew increasingly tense. "Alright, the final two diamond necklaces worth tens of millions, ‘King World’ and ‘Eternal Light,’ will be auctioned simultaneously." Stella announced seriously. Two finely crafted rosewood podiums were raised on stage, each displaying a small, sparkling glass box, capturing everyone's attention. "‘Eternal Light’ and

"Open for me!"Theophilus's innate energy burst forth wildly, his sword qi continuously clearing the path ahead."Whoosh!"Three minutes later, Theophilus shook himself, darting through the hundred-meter path and out of the reach of the deathly qi, arriving outside the magic array."Finally made it out, the Divine Realm outside couldn't pass through that array; looks like they'll have to leave empty-handed this time."Theophilus chuckled softly.He looked up, and the scene before him resembled the Sword Washing Lake of the Jake family on Jake Wolves Mountain.It was an ancient mountain cave, with a precious sword embedded in the middle of a rock formation. Despite hundreds of years passing, one could still sense the sharp aura from it, next to the sword lay an ancient chest.Theophilus smoothly walked over to the stone platform, unimpeded by any magic formations.He reached out and grasped the long sword."Hum!"The sword seemed sentient, Theophilus could clearly feel its excitement.

Uncle Mark slowly emerged from the shadows. He wasn’t a Human Immortal who took the path of an assassin and had no intention of protecting Keagan, but now, unexpectedly, Keagan regarded him as a lifeline.“This time, we will not get involved!” Snow stepped forward and declared loudly.She was no longer as calm as before. In this Pineview Preparatory secret realm, it wasn’t uncommon for half-step Human Immortals to overpower full Human Immortals. There were always a few in every era, but not like Theophilus, who had Keagan begging for his life after just three moves.Seeing that the unfamiliar Human Immortal didn’t want to intervene, Keagan suddenly stepped back and said to Theophilus: “Theophilus, if you agree to forget our grudges, I am willing to recommend you to the Nichols family. With your talent, you will surely be valued by the Nichols family, and even Earthly Immortal is not far off!”“Ha!”Theophilus gave a cold laugh, stepped closer to Keagan, his sword qi enveloping him, re

Suddenly, everyone's view of Theophilus changed.If Theophilus really belonged to one of those families, then Mr. Perez and those who had surrounded him today were truly unlucky.Old man Perez's head also tingled; he had thought the young man before him was just a talent with some strength, but now it seemed not."Young man, your strength is indeed formidable, but we have been renowned for many years, and we do have our trump cards. Just swear you won't bother us, and the agreement we spoke of earlier will still hold!" Linus said darkly, speaking softly.Theophilus scoffed with disdain. Just moments ago, they had treated him like a mere annoyance, and now they wanted a truce—it was too late!"Give it your all!"Old man Perez shouted, his voice waves growing more intense.Linus and Latham also stirred the vital energy within them, staring intently at Theophilus.Theophilus smiled slightly, ready to make his move.Suddenly, he frowned and looked to the south."A master is coming from th

"Ha ha!"Theophilus scoffed, having already discerned the intentions of this group. They were all ruthless and cruel individuals. Although some had been half-stepping into the Human Immortal Realm for a while, their potential had nearly depleted, with no hope of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm.He wasn't afraid of these people; moreover, he wanted to make a name for himself after this battle. Only then would he have a chance to connect with the truly powerful clans, and only through cultivating with those forces could he hope to break through to the Human Immortal Realm."With just you folks trying to defeat me?" Theophilus mocked."Young man, your strength is indeed impressive. Your sword energy could kill the wolf of the Wolf Lord. I might not stand a chance against you in a duel, but you're too arrogant. Do you really think you can defeat the four of us?" Ludwig said bluntly."One useless person multiplied by four still wants to gang up, huh?" Theophilus replied calmly

The person in front of him was clearly a woman disguised as a man, but her technique was terribly clumsy. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that she was a woman, and moreover, she wasn't very old.Theophilus looked at the person masquerading as a man with a serious gaze. Just now, he had felt a threat emanating from her.The strength of the woman before him hadn't yet surpassed the Late Divine Realm, but she could still make someone on the verge of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm like him feel threatened."Tsk, tsk!"The woman in disguise looked at Theophilus and the others, then said regretfully: “Your strength is too weak; you definitely won't get anything good. Moreover, the Earthly Immortal treasure opens only once every fifty years, and it has already opened ten times now; there’s nothing good left.""Fifty years for one opening?" Dempsey exclaimed.The woman looked at the three men in surprise: "You don’t know? This Earthly Immortal treasure was discovered decades a

The mysterious elder appeared annoyed, thinking, was he considered a naive toddler? He had never encountered anyone from Meditation so young with such formidable power."Kid, you must understand, I am a guest of the Nichols royal family. You should think carefully before offending me; I might even know your elders!""Based on you alone?" Theophilus looked down disdainfully and said coldly: “The Nichols family invites guests as weak as you? Knowing my elders, are you worthy?"'What a coincidence!'Theophilus couldn't help but marvel internally, not expecting to encounter a guest of the Nichols family so soon after entering this secret realm."You..."The guest of the Nichols family, truly there because of his senior brother's connections, was enraged. If it weren't for having a senior brother in the Human Immortal Realm, the Nichols family wouldn't have bothered with him."Kid, since you refuse the wine I offered and prefer punishment, today I'll send you straight to heaven."The elder

Theophilus flew straight ahead, encountering beasts much larger than those in the outside world, perhaps because this place was at the edge of a mysterious realm, where the concentration of spiritual energy was four to five times higher than outside. Earlier, while flying, he had effortlessly dealt with a snake as thick as a water barrel coiled around a tree that attacked him."Cultivation here is much faster than in the outside world, and according to Malcolm, every major and minor family in this realm has its own sacred ground for cultivation, where the speed of cultivation is ten times faster than in the outside world.” he thought as he flew.About an hour later, Theophilus finally sensed people ahead—more precisely, four men chasing a man and a woman."Wilson, are you sure you want to attack us? Aren't you afraid of my family's Liles' retribution?" Dempsey Liles shouted as he shielded a young woman behind him, staring at Wilson not far away, his eyes filled with hatred. If it hadn

Rafael could not endure any longer; he collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling: "Young Master Alexander, it was my blindness that did not see the mountain; I didn’t know Maegan was your girlfriend, please forgive me this time, Sunset Valley Corporation will do everything possible to make amends to Young Master Alexander.""That's right."Uriah murmured, "The Lippman family is willing to do our utmost to compensate Young Master Alexander and Ms. Brown.""It's not that I can't give you a chance," Theophilus looked at them with a mocking gaze and said, "As long as you do one thing, I might forgive you!""Please state your conditions, Young Master Alexander!" Uriah gritted his teeth, ready to bleed if it meant Theophilus’s forgiveness."It’s simple, you must cancel the contract Maegan just signed, and write a new one without any conditions," Theophilus said calmly."That's no problem," Uriah hurriedly replied, thinking it was going to be a huge deal, only to find it was just this min

The relationship between Magnus and the head of the Radiant Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Isidore, was excellent. Normally, there were many things their company couldn't get past the Chamber of Commerce.Moreover, there were rumors that behind Magnus and Isidore stood another significant figure. No one in all of Empyria dared disrespect that person.The female star, still by his side, whispered softly, "Director Lippman, that Maegan girl really doesn't listen at all. Freeze her out for a while, teach her a good lesson! Can someone else play the lead in Maegan’s next movie?"After speaking, she hugged Uriah's arm and rubbed against it a few times.These past months, Maegan had become very famous, causing many in the entertainment industry to turn green with envy."Slap!"The female star had just finished speaking when Uriah pulled his hand away and slapped her hard."Director Lippman, why did you hit me?"The female star held her face and rolled on the bed, asking in disbelief."If you s
