Now, it was time to see if justice would be served.The judge, a stern woman with a no-nonsense demeanor, began her address. “After careful consideration of the evidence presented and the testimonies provided, this court finds that the accusations against Chris Brown regarding the theft of the golden goddess statue have been unfounde
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 119, A Day Of Rest
Chapter One Hundred And Nineteen; A Day Of RestChris woke up feeling the weight of the last few days pressing heavily on his shoulders. He had been through a whirlwind of events that left him mentally and physically exhausted. Today, he decided, would be a day of rest and rejuvenation. He planned to work from home, taking it easy while catching up on some much-needed relaxation.As he sat at the kitchen table, sipping his morning coffee, his wife Stephany joined him. She looked at him with curiosity."Aren't you going to work today?" she asked.Chris smiled, appreciating her concern. "My boss gave me the day off," he replied. "I think he noticed I needed a break."Stephany nodded, understanding. Just then, his mother-in-law entered the room. She had a knack for seizing opportunities, and today was no different."If you're not working today, why don't you clean the whole house?" she suggested, her tone firm. "It's been a while since you were home, and it needs a good cleaning."Chris
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 119; Chris saved the drowning girl
Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen; Chris saved the drowning girl Chris lay back on the plush massage table, feeling the tension drain from his muscles under the skilled hands of the masseuse. The room was dimly lit, filled with the soothing scent of lavender, and soft, calming music played in the background. It was the perfect escape from the chaos of the past few days. The massage had worked wonders, and he felt rejuvenated, his mind and body at ease.When the session ended, Chris thanked the masseuse and stepped out of the spa area. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the lounge. It was mid-afternoon, and the heat was intense. Most guests were lounging under umbrellas or in shaded cabanas, avoiding the sun's scorching rays. The pool area was almost deserted, with only a few people around.As he walked towards the pool, Chris noticed something unusual. A woman was thrashing in the water, her movements frantic and desperate. The sound of splashing caught his at

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty; Blackmail. Chris was reclining in his lounge chair, basking in the satisfaction of a well-deserved rest, when he heard someone calling out, “Hey you, Preston family son-in-law!” He turned his head, squinting against the bright afternoon sun, but didn't recognize the woman approaching him. She was elegantly dressed, her demeanor exuding confidence. “Don’t you know me?” she said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I am Grace, Eleanor’s classmate. I was in your house one time. You’re the Diamond son-in-law, right?” Recognition flickered in Chris’s eyes. He vaguely remembered the day she was talking about, a day when he had handed over a diamond necklace to his mother-in-law, Eleanor. Grace had been there, clearly taken aback by the gesture, and had since then apparently kept tabs on him. “Ah, yes, I remember now,” Chris replied, his voice polite but distant. “How can I help you, Grace?”Grace’s smile widened, but her eyes were calcul
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 121, Two times in trouble
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty One; Two times in trouble Eaelier, before Chris arrived hom, he was driving back home, the gentle hum of the engine almost lulling him into a rare sense of peace, when something caught his eye. At the corner of a dimly lit street, he noticed a young woman struggling with a hulking man who was trying to force her into a car.The sight sent a jolt through him, he recognized the girl immediately, she was the lady he had just saved from drowning.For a brief moment, Chris considered driving past. After all, getting involved could mean more trouble, and trouble was something he had enough of. But as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, he knew he couldn't ignore what he was witnessing. His conscience wouldn’t let him. With a resigned sigh, he turned the car around and approached the pair.He pulled up beside them, his mind racing for a plan. The man was large, clearly muscular, and from the looks of it, intent on forcing Emily into the car. Chris
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 122, Quite the player
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Two; Quite the Player. Grace sat in her car, fuming at the way Chris had dismissed her earlier. How dare he ignore her, especially after she had given him a clear opportunity to avoid trouble? It wasn't in her nature to let things slide, especially not when she felt slighted. She pulled out her phone, scrolling through the pictures she had taken of Chris and the woman he had just saved from the pool."Let's see how you like this," Grace muttered under her breath as she selected the best shot for this scenario.She picked a particularly incriminating one where the woman, scantily clad in a swimsuit, was hugging Chris after he'd administered CPR.To anyone who didn't know the context, it looked like something far more intimate was going on.Without hesitation, Grace forwarded the picture to Eleanor, Chris's mother-in-law. Along with the image, she added a message dripping with malice: "Your diamond son-in-law? More like a diamond in the rough. Look at
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 123, Good Meal
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Three; Good Meal Chris sighed heavily as the conversation with Eleanor started to spiral into dangerous territory. Divorce was not something he looked forward to, he loved his wife. Just as Eleanor was about to say something else, the door creaked open, and Stephany walked in. Her face lit up when she saw them, but she immediately sensed the tension in the room."Why are you talking about divorce?" Stephany asked, her voice laced with concern as she looked between Chris and Eleanor.Chris quickly stepped forward, offering her a warm smile. “Don't worry about it, Steph. It's just a misunderstanding." He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, guiding her towards the dining area. "I cooked your favorite today. Why don't we sit down and eat?"Stephany hesitated, glancing back at her mother, who still looked upset. "Are you sure everything's okay?" she asked, her voice softer now, clearly worried about the argument she had walked in on."Everything's
