The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 128, Surprise Call
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Eighty; Surprise Call Chris was seated at his desk, fully immersed in the tasks before him. The day had been busy, filled with back-to-back meetings, reports to review, and deadlines to meet. Despite the chaos, he had planned to stay late and tackle the remaining workload. His dedication to his job was well-known, and he rarely left anything unfinished.Just as he was about to dive into another report, his phone buzzed on the desk, the screen lighting up with an incoming call. Seeing the name "Stephany" flashing across the screen, Chris felt a warm smile spread across his face. It wasn’t often that she called him during the workday, and he couldn’t help but feel a flutter of excitement as he answered."Hey, sweetheart," Chris greeted, his tone light and affectionate. "How's your day going?""Chris, I’m feeling great today," Stephany’s voice came through the line, filled with a sense of joy that immediately caught his attention. "I was thinking… how
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 127, Brown’s would be wiped out
Chapter One Hundred and twenty Seven; Brown’s would be wiped out As Jack Stone and his men walked away from the Brown residence, a tense silence hung in the air. The confrontation had not gone as Jack had planned, and he was seething with anger. The rejection, the insults, and the defiance he had faced were enough to make his blood boil. But just as they reached the gate, the sound of loud voices carried through the air, drifting from the Brown household. "You see how they strutted in here like they owned the place?" a voice said, dripping with disdain. "Chris is better off without those thugs in his life. If they ever come back, they’ll get more than just a verbal thrashing." "And did you see the look on that leader's face?" another voice chimed in. “I bet he's used to everyone cowering before him. Well, not here. The Browns won’t be intimidated by anyone, especially not by the likes of him." The words were like gasoline poured on a fire. Jack stopped in his tracks, his fi
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 130, Famous Designer
Chapter One hundred and thirty; Famous designer As Chris, Stephany, and Sandra walked away from the boutique, the whispers of the onlookers grew louder. Those who had witnessed the scene couldn’t believe what had just happened. The man who had confidently paid for the expensive dresses and then returned them must have been putting on a show. It wasn’t long before someone recognized him as the Preston family’s son-in-law, and the rumors began to spread.“He’s just using his wife’s family money,” one woman muttered, her voice dripping with disdain. “I bet he returned the clothes because he knew he couldn’t afford them on his own.”“Exactly,” another man chimed in. “Probably maxed out the card or something. These types always try to act rich, but they’re really just living off their in-laws.”The crowd nodded in agreement, pacifying themselves with the idea that Chris was nothing more than a pretender, riding on the coattails of the Preston family’s wealth. To them, he was just anot

The excitement from their visit to Mr. Lancaster’s boutique still lingered, with Stephany and Sandra exchanging quiet smiles and glances, grateful for the unexpected luxury Chris had provided.As they walked, a jewelry store caught their attention—a branch of the prestigious Pete family empire. The store was known not only for its exquisite jewelry but also for housing a selection of rare antiques. The elegant displays in the windows shimmered with an array of diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires, but it wasn’t the sparkling gems that caught Chris’s eye. Instead, it was a particular item that drew him in—a sword, gleaming with an almost mystical allure, displayed prominently in the store’s antique section.Chris’s steps slowed as his gaze locked onto the sword. Without a word, he ch
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 132; Three Beautiful Women
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Two; Three Beautiful Women Chris, ever the gracious host, turned to Ms. Sinclair as they finalized the purchase of the sword. "Ms. Sinclair, thank you again for your generosity. Since we're on our way to dinner, we'd be honored if you'd join us."Ms. Sinclair, a woman who rarely mingled with others outside of business, considered the offer for a moment. There was something about Chris, his confidence, his calm demeanor, that intrigued her. Finally, she gave a slight nod. "I'd be delighted."With that, the group of four—Chris, Stephany, Sandra, and Ms. Sinclair headed to the Preston house. The ride was a pleasant one, with light conversation and laughter flowing easily between them. Ms. Sinclair, usually reserved and distant, found herself relaxing in the company of Chris and his companions. It was a welcome change from her usual routine, and she appreciated the genuine hospitality they extended to her.As soon as they arrived, Stephany wasted no tim
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 133; Busted
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Three; Busted The laughter of the women in the kitchen was still echoing in Chris’s mind as he stepped into the restroom, needing a brief moment to himself. The events of the day had been unexpected but fulfilling, and Chris was content to enjoy these simple pleasures. But that sense of peace was abruptly shattered when the door to the house creaked open, and the soft hum of conversation outside the restroom was replaced by the sudden, tense silence. Unbeknownst to Chris, strange-looking men had entered the building, their presence ominous and heavy. They moved with purpose, their eyes scanning the room until they landed on the three unsuspecting women. Ms. Sinclair, Sandra, and Stephany barely had a moment to react before they were caught off guard. The men moved quickly, overpowering the women with ease, and tied them together with rough, thick ropes. Panic flickered in Stephany's eyes as she struggled against the binds, her mind racing t
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 134, the masters elixir
Chapter One Hundred and thirty four; the masters elixir Chris led Jack Stone through the dimly lit corridors of the house, each step carefully calculated, each glance measured. The tension between them was great , like a coiled spring ready to snap at any moment. Chris could feel Jack's eyes boring into his back, the weight of the Master’s Book of Shadows in his hand reminding him of the gravity of the situation. They had just passed through the study door when something strange happened. Jack Stone, who had been following Chris with unwavering intensity, suddenly stumbled. His movements became erratic, his breathing labored, and his skin took on a pale, almost sickly hue. He swayed on his feet, blinking rapidly as though trying to clear a fog from his mind.Chris noticed the change immediately, pausing to observe Jack’s behavior with a sharp, discerning gaze. Jack’s hand went to his chest, clutching it as though he were in pain, his face contorting in confusion and discomfort.

Chapter One hundred and thirty five; Chris with the antidote The room was heavy with tension as Jack Stone staggered towards the door, his breath coming in ragged gasps and his vision blurring at the edges. Each step felt like a monumental effort, his body betraying him as the effects of the missing elixir antidote took hold. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He knew he was running out of time."Wait," Chris's voice echoed through the room, firm and commanding.Jack paused, his hand gripping the doorframe for support as he turned to face Chris. His eyes were filled with desperation and a flicker of hope at the possibility of salvation.Chris stood tall, the Master’s Book of Shadows held securely under his arm. His gaze was steady, and his demeanor exuded a calm authority that left no room for argument. He took a measured step towards Jack, closing the distance between them."You have two options," Chris began, his voice smooth but edged with s
