The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 39: He Must Really Love You
"Excellent. Where is he right now?" Raymond Kim asked."Grabbing a late-night snack, with a girl. Looks like she’s from the Cooper family." Jonathan replied, a hint of pride creeping into his voice. "Mr. Kim, to be honest, I’ve spent the past few hours digging into his recent years. I’ve got everything.""Seems like you’ve been thorough." Raymond Kim smiled."Hey, when I’m working for you, Mr. Kim, I don’t leave anything to chance." Jonathan chuckled."Who did you send to follow him?" Raymond Kim asked again."Just a low-level thug from the area, goes by Scrappy. He’s got a dozen or so guys under him. This isn’t his first job for us. Mr. Kim, you remember Scrappy, right? Last time, you had him help bring a woman to your bed…" Jonathan said, taking a bite of food and sipping his drink, clearly enjoying the conversation."I remember. He gets things done." Raymond nodded slightly."Tell him, once Joseph’s finished eating, to beat the food right out of him. Make sure most of the p

At that moment, Joseph brought over two more dishes: cold clams and shrimp porridge."Wow, this is such a feast, brother-in-law! I’m going to cry… when will I get another meal like this?" Heidi gazed at the spread before her, moved almost to tears."Next time? Well, maybe we’ll have to wait until I get paid next month." Joseph smiled, teasing her."No way! Next month is far too long. I’ll take the hit and treat you instead. We can’t wait that long—I’ll starve to death living off the stuff at home." Heidi reacted dramatically, shaking her head. "Honestly, brother-in-law, I can’t live without you.""Alright, alright. You eat first. I’ve got a few more dishes to finish. I’ll bring them over once they’re done." Joseph stood up, still smiling."Be quick about it. You’ve been working all day. Once you’re done, come sit with me and eat." Heidi peeled a juicy shrimp, her words dripping with double meaning."Won't be long." Joseph answered casually before heading back to the kitchen."He

"Oh! By the way, brother-in-law, I just heard that there was a car accident at the intersection ahead. The road’s blocked, so we might not be able to catch a cab back.""I could probably walk home, but it’ll be a bit tiring. As for you, you might need to find a hotel nearby to stay for the night." Heidi suddenly remembered the news and shared it with Joseph."Cars can leave but not come through?" Joseph was puzzled."Exactly!" Heidi nodded."It’s not safe for you to walk home alone. I’ll drive you back. I came here by car, so no need to walk." Joseph smiled reassuringly."Wait, brother-in-law, you drove here? Where did you get a car?" Heidi blinked, surprised, her curiosity piqued.“That’s my friend’s car. I just borrowed it for the night,” Joseph replied calmly.“Oh, I see. Your friend’s really good to you.” Heidi nodded, then resumed eating. “In that case, you can drive me home. I don’t really like walking alone in the dark—it’s a little scary.”“Even if I didn’t have a car, I

A few moments later, a waiter came over to help Heidi pack up the leftover food. It took quite a while to box everything up, and by the time they were done, they had filled over a dozen containers.Looking at the neatly packed boxes, Heidi couldn’t help but feel a little triumphant.“All packed up already? I just stepped out to use the restroom.” Joseph returned, surprised to see the table so efficiently cleared.“Yep, all done. Hehe, looks like I won’t be going hungry for the next couple of days.” Heidi replied, clearly pleased with herself.“Alright, let’s go.” Joseph picked up a large bag filled with food containers. It was heavy, at least ten boxes inside. Heidi grabbed another bag, which held three or four more.Together, they left the restaurant.“Brother-in-law, isn’t there a parking lot nearby? Why did you park so far away? And it’s kind of secluded—there’s barely anyone around.” Heidi walked beside Joseph, chatting nonstop.“When I got here, the lot was full, so I had to
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 43: Too Late, You Missed Your Chance
Without another word, Joseph reached out and grabbed Scrappy by the throat, lifting him clean off the ground with a single hand.Gasps erupted from the surrounding thugs. Eyes wide, they instinctively stepped back, startled by the sheer display of strength.Was this guy even human? Scrappy wasn’t a small man—at 5'10" and about 80 kilograms, he wasn’t exactly easy to pick up. Yet Joseph held him aloft with effortless ease, one-handed."His strength… it’s terrifying." Heidi whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief."Gah! Let me go! You’re killing me!" Scrappy gasped for air, struggling to pry Joseph’s hand from his throat. His face turned crimson, and each word was a battle to get out."If this were three years ago, you’d already be dead." Joseph’s voice was cold as ice. Then, without a hint of effort, he casually tossed Scrappy aside.He turned to walk away.But in a sudden, fluid motion, Joseph spun back and planted a brutal kick into Scrappy’s abdomen.The force of the blow sent S
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 44: Brother-in-Law, When Did You Become So Strong?
“Well, Scrappy here wanted to smash my face, right? How about you smash his instead? Keep going until he’s unrecognizable. You’ve got only one chance.” Joseph said, his tone still casual.“Scrappy, man, I’m sorry! I’ve got no choice! If I don’t do this, neither of us is getting out of here!” The blond thug was practically sobbing as he turned to Scrappy and slapped him across the face.Scrappy was stunned, his mind unable to process what had just happened.“Not bad, but your aim and strength need work. Don’t just hit the cheeks—focus on the nose and eyes. Those are the weak points.” Joseph advised nonchalantly.Taking the hint, the blond thug landed two more punches squarely on Scrappy’s nose and eyes, sending stars spinning in Scrappy’s vision.“Sorry, man, I’m so sorry!” The blond thug continued raining down blows, his voice choked with tears.“Good, just like that. Don’t stop.” Joseph nodded in approval.“Brother-in-law, if this keeps up, won’t he end up killing him?” Heidi a
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 45: Why Choose Instant Noodles?
Crash! Raymond hurled the glass in his hand to the floor, shattering it into pieces.“Fuck! Is he an idiot? Doesn’t he have over ten men under him? And they couldn’t handle one Joseph? Joseph even beat him up and escaped?” Raymond fumed, his anger boiling over.“I can’t explain it either. Scrappy’s always been reliable—he’s known for being ruthless and efficient, which is why I chose him for the job this time. They claim it wasn’t their incompetence, but Joseph’s cunning.” Jonathan’s face was burning with shame.“Where is Scrappy now?” Raymond asked.“He’s badly injured. They had to take him to the hospital.” Jonathan replied.“Useless! All of them!” Mr. Kim spat in disgust. He had intended to teach Joseph a lesson, but things had gone completely awry.“Mr. Kim, don’t worry. Once Joseph starts at the university, I’ll have my people deal with him. I’ll make sure he can’t compete with you for Alice.” Jonathan’s eyes glinted with malice.“That’s the only option now. But who are yo
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 46: I Love Being with You
“I can’t eat anymore, or I’ll be overeating.”Heidi suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.“Haven’t you already overeaten?”Fiona shot her a look.“Hehe, true. But even though bro-in-law’s gone, we can still drop by and mooch a meal from time to time.”“Sis, if you’re ever craving his cooking, I can take you along!”Heidi spoke with a mischievous smile.“Take me along? Is that really okay?”Fiona paused, surprised.“Why not? Bro-in-law’s not the type to be stingy.”Heidi shrugged nonchalantly.“No, I’d rather not. I don’t want to see him.”Fiona shook her head.“Alright.”“Oh yeah, sis, I heard that Charles Martin is back. He’s going to be teaching at Nova University. Has he reached out to you?”Heidi asked, remembering something.“He called, but we haven’t met up.”Fiona replied.“Sis, be careful dealing with him. He’s nothing like bro-in-law.”Heidi’s face suddenly grew serious, her tone biting.“You seem to have a strong opinion about him.”Fiona remarked, reading into her
