The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law

Chapter 1: The Useless Son-in-Law of the Brown Family

"Mr. Wesley, please come back with me, the Wesley family needs you!"

"Lord Wesley asked me to apologize on his behalf to you. He has been feeling so sorry all along. He really loves you! "

"For compensation, you will get full control of the Macro Vision, one of the major enterprises of the Great Wesley, which will facilitate your smoother takeover of the entire family in the future."

On a bustling street in the Emerald City, a young man dressed plainly stood there with a bottle of milk in his hand. He stared at the richly dressed old gentleman in front of him, his expression indifferent.

"Watch your address to me! No Wesley here! Since he expelled me from the family ten years ago, Jason Wesley has died. Now standing in front of you is Jason Gray!"

"I don't need his so-called compensation, or any charity. I have no interest in inheriting the Wesley family, either. Instead, I would be more than happy to destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, the old gentleman's face became very embarrassed, seething with anger but remaining silent.

"Just kidding, don't be so nervous. Anyway, don't disturb my peaceful life! This is a warning!"

Jason strode away, leaving behind the depressed old gentleman.

He had to hurry up and deliver the warm milk to his wife, Susan Brown, who had a stomach upset recently.

Three years ago, a mysterious elder brought Jason to the Browns to propose a marriage.

As old Brown owed the elder a debt of gratitude, he married his granddaughter Susan to Jason Gray to repay the favor.

It was the 70th anniversary gala for the Brown Group today!

As a member of the Brown family, Susan would definitely drink at the banquet.

……

At the Ritz-Carlton, a five-star hotel where the Browns was holding the banquet.

Magnificent decorations of the banquet hall, silver tableware everywhere on the buffet table, precious drinks and delicious food from all over the world...

"The Chairman of the Tidal Group presents a million-dollar night pearl, congratulating the Brown Group on its continuing prosperity."

"David Duke, the eldest grandson of the Duke family, presents a high-quality sapphire, wishing Mr. Brown a long life and continued success for the Brown Group."

"......"

As expensive gifts were presented one after another, everyone in the Brown family, especially old Brown, were all smiling.

"Jason Gray, son-in-law of the Browns, presents a bottle of milk!" Mocking voice from a man sounded.

The sudden turn caught everyone off guard and make them burst into laughter.

A bottle of milk? Gift? Was it a comedy program?

"Jason Gray? The notorious useless son-in-law of the Browns?"

“He was so ridiculous!”

“......”

Many guests were whispering and talking about him.

"Jason, how dare you bring a bottle of cheap milk as a present? Don’t you know grandpa was lactose intolerant? You useless loser! You are embarrassing the whole Browns!"

The man’s angry voice sounded again, and it’s from Robert Brown, the eldest grandson of old Brown.

Obviously, he purposed to humiliate Jason, just like the way he had been treating Jason for the past three years.

And Jason knew it was because of Susan, who was the biggest obstacle to Robert inheriting the family business, so he is always targeting at them.

However, Jason didn’t respond to his ridicule. He only scanned the crowd to look for Susan.

At this moment, an exquisite beauty in an elegant formal dress hurried over, frowning as she said, "Jason, who permitted you to come here?"

This breathtaking woman was none other than Jason's wife in name, Susan Brown, famed as Emerald's foremost beauty.

Jason held up the milk and said innocently, "You feel sick to the stomach and can't drink so much, so I brought you some warm milk."

"Milk? Do you know what day it is today? It is the 70th anniversary gala for the founding of Brown Group? But Susan, you two bother us with a bottle of milk. Have you no shame?"

Robert Brown snorted in contempt, and the entire banquet hall erupted into laughter.

Blushing amidst the ridicules, Susan felt a surge of grievance and her eyes reddened.

"Jason, did you come just to embarrass me?"

Since her grandpa had suddenly married her to the penniless Jason Gray, anyone would feel it a pity that the foremost beauty of Emerald was ruined by a useless man.

Although Jason Gray was only a submissive househusband, he had never made unreasonable demands of Susan Brown.

Susan never disliked Jason, but he was far from her ideal husband. Her husband should be capable and motivated man.

If Jason Gray were the prince charming in her fantasy, she would never suffer such humiliations all these years!

At this time, Margaret Brown also spoke up.

"OMG, Jason, you are really lovely! You always remember to bring Susan a bottle of milk, but Susan doesn’t seem to appreciate it. Hah hah..."

Margaret Brown was Robert’s sister, and just like her brother, old Mr. Brown always spoiled the two of them while Susan had been overlooked.

"Dear Margaret, you look so pretty tonight!"

As Margaret Brown finished speaking, a young man in a suit immediately stepped forward, holding an ancient looking long box in arms.

He was Christopher, one of Margaret Brown's simps.

“Mr. Brown, I’ve heard that you are an antique collector, so I spent one million dollars on this, a sword of ancient China. It is called Tai’a Sword, which can only be of the greatest value in the hands of a wise and knowledgeable elder like you.”

He flattered old Brown in a loud voice as he opened the box.

"One million dollars!!!"

People in the hall erupted with exclamations.

"Christopher is indeed talented and capable. Margaret is so lucky."

"Indeed, compared to Christopher, Jason Gray isn't even worth a dog!"

“......”

When they saw such a shabby-looking short sword’s worth a million dollars, they highly praised Christopher.

If he wasn’t pursuing Margaret, they would probably introduce unmarried females of their families to him.

However, Jason frowned as he had been observing all this. 

In his memory, the only Tai’a Sword should be in the collections of Wesley family. Why was it shown here?

Moreover, how could Tai'a, the legendary sword of the Chinese emperors, be worth just one million dollars? A bunch of ignorant guys!

"Chris, my dear, you are so kind! I feel very proud of you..."

As she spoke, Margaret Brown had already stepped forward to hold Christopher's hand and looked at his face affectionately.

Hearing her words, Christopher also raised his head arrogantly and looked at Jason with contempt.

Margaret turned her head to look at Susan then.

"Susan, look how excellent my boyfriend is! Compared with Christopher, your husband really shames the Browns."

"Your pretty face is of no use if you end up marrying a loser!"

She finally defeated Susan, the cousin who had been better in appearance and ability than her all the time, even though through her suitor.

Facing Margaret’s humiliation, Susan didn’t refute, but the expression on her face showed that she was angry.

"Absurd! What there is to be proud of in presenting a counterfeit antique?"
