The Revenge of The Worthless son in law 69. The Calm Before The Storm.
As much as Jason hated it, he had to go over to the King's residence because Lauren was refusing to cooperate. It had been three days since the press conference, and while it was true that the public had been calmed, the rumors hadn't completely died down. It had been confirmed that he and James Anderson were innocent of the crimes pinned against them, but some people still condemned Jason's decision to settle down with another woman, especially since his divorce was still ongoing.Their divorce was supposed to be a simple process. They didn't have any kids, so fighting over who got custody was impossible. Neither did they have any properties to share. They were supposed to just go in and out, and that was it. But Lauren was refusing to sign the papers.Erika and her parents had gone off to France for their trip and the couple decided that it would be good if she had the baby there. Once he finalized his divorce with Lauren, he was going to join them so he could be there on her delive
The Revenge of The Worthless son in law 70. In Danger.
Lauren was alone, again. Ever since the turnout at the press conference, she was always indoors. She couldn't go to work, neither could she go for her occasional strolls. People were starting to think she was a psycho who was trying to get between Jason and Erika. Some others were still on her side but it wasn't the same so her mother suggested that she stayed away from work for a while.She still couldn't believe that something like this was happening to her. She always saw herself as a catch for any man, and the fact that she was finally more bouyant than Jason was, she thought it gave her the upper hand but it wasn't like that anymore.She felt so angry.The fact that a nobody like Erika had almost succeeded in taking Jason away from her was too infuriating to think about. There was absolutely no way she was going to lose to her. She had sent some men to find out about her whereabouts but they still had nothing, almost like she had left town. She heard her mother knock on the do

"What?" Jason asked, making sure he heard her correctly."You see, Phil was really desperate to get back at you, and after learning that your wife–""--ex wife." Jason corrected."Right. Ex wife, Lauren, had gotten rid of their baby, it only fueled his anger and hatred towards you. Then he met this young lady, I think her name was Rose, and she offered him a job with her father in exchange that he did something for her in return.""And what is that thing?""I'm sorry sir but that is what I don't know. There's only so much information I can get out of that man these days, our divorce definitely made it harder for me to know what he's planning.""It's alright, and thank you for warning me.""It's the least I can do. It doesn't matter if I'm your assistant or not, I still have to do my best to look out for you."He was supposed to just say thank you but his curiosity pushed him to ask. "Why?""Because you're like a son to Mr Matthew, and I practically owe Mr Matthew my life. So the least

"What!" Both men chorused."Why would you take such a thing lightly?" His grandfather added. "The reason you are still a secret CEO is because we want you to be safe, and now you think you might be in danger and you're taking it so lightly?""I'm sorry, okay. That was the main reason I came here today, I was going to tell you what I heard but we've been talking about other things and…""I understand. Now, not leaving out a single word, explain what happened.""Well Rose was the first person who told me that my life was in danger because I turned down her father's offer.""Who is Rose, and what was her father's offer?"Jason sighed, it was time for him to come clean. His grandfather and his butler would definitely be disappointed in him for doing such a thing without their consents, but it was too late to hide anything again. "Um her name is Roslyn Sinclair… the daughter of David Sinclair.""Young master, do you have any idea who that man is?" His butler asked."From the look on his fa

"I don't know about the daughter, but I don't trust Mabel from here to there." His grandfather voiced out his opposition as Jason and Okoye were about to leave.Okoye was his grandfather's strongest and most loyal bodyguard. Every trip he went on, Okoye was always there by his right hand."You still think we're walking into a trap?""Very much so.""Sire… I might have to agree with your grandfather on this one." Matthew slowly agreed."Alright, so what do you suggest?""I just feel we should take precautionary measures.""Alright, I'm ready to listen to whatever plan you both have.""Jolly good. Well your grandfather thinks it will be safe if you had a back up plan.""I don't know what will happen exactly but I am very certain something will." His grandfather started. "So, naturally the way forward will be finding a way out if it. My intuition is telling me Mabel isn't going to let her daughter sign the divorce papers, she might also try to prevent you from leaving freely, and that is
The Revenge of The Worthless son in law 74. Attempted Murder.
Jason was back at the mansion, and his grandfather was acting like nothing happened. The video of Lauren being arrested was all over the news, what she did was still a mystey to everyone– Jason included– but, there were rumors. Lauren kings was arrested for working with Phil Garcia to ruin her husband's life after he filed for a divorce.Lauren kings, although claims to be a responsible first class citizen, is actually a criminal whose deeds have finally caught up to her.Those were the rumors circulating all over the city. Facebook, twitter, instagram, and even the news. Although there were some others that Jason wasn't a fan of like; Jason Paul Decker had his ex wife arrested because she refused to sign their divorce papers.Jason Paul Decker was willing to set up his ex wife just so he could live happily with his mistress.He had tried asking his grandfather if it was still part of his back up plan, but the man was dead silent. Okoye claimed he had no idea what was going on, and M

According to the police officer, Lauren had plotted with Rose's bodyguard to take her life. The reason for her actions, he said they were still unknown but he had some officers working on it and hopefully soon, they would be able to find and arrest the bodyguard. "How can you be so sure that Lauren was involved?" Jason asked, mostly out of curiosity than concern."I believe I said the charges was attempted murder… meaning the victim survived.""So Rose told you Lauren tried to kill her, and you believed it?"Jason didn't know if it was the look on his face or the slight change in his voice that was giving off a signal but the man leaned forward, folded his hands on the table in front of him and stared directly into Jason's eyes. "You seem to think her story is a lie? Any reason for that?"Jason cleared his throat and backed away. "I never said she was lying, I was just saying she could be. Rose isn't a person you can trust.""And how, if I may ask, do you know that? Because if I'm ri

"Hello?""It's me sire, I was just calling to check in on things.""Oh? Thanks Matthew. But this isn't your number.""You're right. It isn't. Your grandfather insists on leaving you to handle things on your own but I just had to give you a call to know how you're doing.""Thanks, I'm okay. He has been asking lots of questions about my marriage with Lauren but I don't think anything major will happen from it.""Good to know. And did he tell you the reason she was arrested?""Yes. Apparently she tried to kill someone.""What? She did?""Yeah. To be honest it's still kinda puzzling that Lauren would do such a thing. I mean sure she has done some bad things in her life, but murder… it's shocking.""I guess that's why they say you can't judge a book by its cover. One might look harmless on the surface but they could be as dangerous as a wild animal.""A wild animal?""I didn't know what else I could use to compare their dangerous nature."Jason smiled at his butler's comment and from the c

SOMEWHERE IN SWITZERLAND.MABEL'S NEW HOME."They think they've won, just like that. They think they can just toss me to the side and expect me to stay still. Me, Mabel Kings, a woman of high status, forced to live as measly as a beggar. I am not going to take it.""If you are not going to take it, then what will you do about it?" After the tables turned on them, Mabel and her husband relocated to a remote island far from New York where she was sure that she was a wanted person because of what she did to Jason as a child. What she didn't know was that Jason decided to bury the story, telling the media that he was sure the culprits would get what was coming to them. What made Mabel even more enraged was the fact that her son joined sides with her mortal enemy. She was expecting that much from Lauren who was blinded with love, but Marcus… she still couldn't believe it."That bastard son of mine is definitely on my list of enemies. How dare he double cross me? I have to make him pay fo

FRANCE.Meredith regained consciousness with a huge gasp for air like she had been drowning. She quickly surveyed her surroundings and saw that she was at a hospital. She tried to remember what happened but everything was fuzzy. "Ugh, my head." She tried to sit up but a all man eased her to lay back down. "Easy now, you shouldn't sit up just yet. Just lay there for at least thirty more minutes." He said, holding her down. "How.. how did I get here?""Your brother brought you here, he said he found you unconscious at the park.""The park? Wait my brother?""Yes. He'll be here soon, he just stepped out to use the bathroom. How are you feeling?" He placed a hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. "Like my head is about to explode. What happened to me?""You mean you don't remember?""Not really, everything is just so fuzzy.""Don't worry, it'll come back to you in a while. I'm doctor Brady by the way." He said with a warm smile.

116. The Ceremony.
NEW YORK."Hey Steve,""Mr Decker! Is it weird to say I missed you?""Not at all. Because I missed you too." Steve was one of the reasons Jason was actually looking forward to resuming work. "Man, working without you has been really boring." He confessed, walking with Jason through the busy halls of the company. "Well, I'm back now.""Completely?""One hundred percent. My grandfather told me you helped greatly in planning for this ceremony, I'm really grateful.""When he said you needed my help, I was more than eager to assist. I'm just glad I could help.""You know, I am really happy I decided to make you my personal assistant." Jordan was very competent when it came to working, even more than Steve was, but there was one place she was lacking greatly… and that was her social aspect.Steve knew how to cheer a person up and being around him always made the room more lively. But Jordan believed in going straight to business. She believed that once she was at work, the only thing sh

115. Family Meeting.
Meredith had trouble sleeping all night because of two reasons. The first one, Jason still hadn't replied to her offer and it was making her feel anxious. The second reason was because Josh had called her the night before and he said he wanted to see her. He said he realized how harsh he sounded and he wanted to apologize. He also said she didn't have to go to his place and if she was feeling unsafe in letting him visit her that they could just go to a cafe to talk. Joshua was her best friend and she didn't like fighting with him, but another part of her was feeling scared to see him. "Well since it's going to be a public place, I guess it's fine." She texted him and asked him to meet her at a cafe that wasn't too far from the mansion.When he arrived, he was smiling brightly, looking like the Josh she used to know. "Thank you for agreeing to see me." He said as he sat across her."It's okay.""I must admit, I lost my temper there for a while, and it made me go out of line. I'm sorr

"You're free to go.""What? Did someone settle my bail? Was it my daughter?" "Just get out already, or maybe you're already used to the lifestyle here? It's totally fine by me if you want to stay a while longer."Mabel's response was an irritated look, followed by a nod of disapproval. "Where do I get my things?" She asked. "At least get out of your cell first, then you get your things." The warder led her out of her cell and back to the reception, where she was asked to write her name down and some other information. Then another officer brought her purse, jewelry and her phone that were taken from her the day she was detained.She went outside, hoping to see Lauren or Marcus waiting with a car but neither of them were there. She took out her phone and was about to dial Lauren when she noticed her car pull up at the front of the station. "Mother?" She seemed surprised to see her mother out of prison already. "How did you get out? Did Marcus come here?""You mean, it wasn't you?"

113. Promise Of Love.
Jason was feeling skeptical on whether it was okay to invite Marcus or not. Without his family involved, Marcus was a good person and Jason wanted to keep working with him and he didn't know why but he was getting the feeling that he had changed. But what if he hadn't? What if Marcus was still the same person? There were lots of what if questions that could hinder their friendship and even their work relationship. But Jason decided to trust him. He texted him and personally invited him to the ceremony, and to his surprise, Marcus replied almost immediately, saying he wouldn't miss it for the world.Jason texted him the venue and time and even told him the dress code as well. then just as he was done texting him, he received a call from his not so favorite cousin in France."What do you want Meredith?""What do you mean by that question? Didn't you see the video I posted?""So?""You know what it's about, right?""And if I do?""Then I'm also guessing that it would be bad if I were t

112. Change Of Path.
Marcus had been thinking about his family for a few days and the conclusion he was always arriving at was not a good one. All his life, he had always tried his best to be the good son, the best child he could be to his parents. He was quiet, obedient and he always made sure he came in top in his studies. He never did anything to get on his parent's bad side, neither did he ever taint their image. If anything, he was the perfect child.They say all teenagers always have a rebellious phase, but he never did, he was always properly behaved.His father never really had their time so he leaned to his mother's side, always wanting to please her, to make her happy, to make her proud of him, and eventually… he became his mother's pet.His childhood, his teenage years, and even some of this adult life was dedicated to making sure his mother was proud of him, making sure she loved him. He didn't think about anything else. Not the life he could live for himself, not the name he could make for h

111. Spontaneous Outing.
For their date, Jason wanted to do something that would be memorable for both of them but he didn't know what. He tried long and hard to decide on where they could go, but nothing came to mind.Erika still insisted that they just went back to the mansion to prepare and look after his grandfather and the twins, but Jason knew that was because she was not having fun yet. So he had to fix that. At the moment, their car was currently parked at the gas station where Jason decided they stop for a refill, but it was just to give himself more time to think. He had never really think about it, but deep down, it felt like he had been anticipating the day that they would go on such a date. A day where they could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted to. A day where he didn't have to worry about work, and she didn't have to worry about looking after the store. A day where they could just be a couple, just two people enjoying all the sweetness life had to offer. Obviously it was impos

110. The Date.
Jason was skeptical when his ex brother in law suddenly asked for his help, but he decided to trust him, of course he was not going to let his guard down though. "Need my help with what?" He asked."Like I said, we can't talk here. Let's find somewhere more private.""Can't we just go in?""You mean in the bakery? No thanks. I would rather keep my distance from baked food. I know how hard I had to work to get this body, I can't risk jeopardizing it again."Jason smiled at his statement, he remembered when he first met Lauren, then Marcus had just been her chubby, cake loving baby brother. She said he was obsessed with cake and that was the reason he gained much weight in such a short period. The reason Marcus stopped eating sweets was because other kids made fun of his size, and the girl he liked back then called him a fatso and said she could never be with a guy like him. "Right." He said simply. "So where do you want to go?""Personally I would prefer it if we just spoke in my car
