The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 11: Love Rival
As soon as this crazy thought flashed through Susan's mind, she shook her head and dismissed it. Impossible for it to be him. No matter how wealthy Jason was, he couldn't possibly... Moreover, she had only mused idly about it last night. How could such an enormous sum be spent so easily? It must have been some financial conglomerate. Grandfather must be heartbroken, now completely hopeless for this lifetime... While lost in thought, Mary Martinez's sharp eyes suddenly noticed the jewelry box, conspicuously opulent amidst the surroundings. It looked freshly purchased. "Oh? What's this?" Ever obsessed with jewels, she couldn't resist her curiosity. Ignoring Susan's consent, she eagerly opened it to find a sapphire necklace lying inside - the very one she had admired! Did Susan buy this to surprise her? "As expected of my good daughter, you understand your mother well. I've been eyeing this necklace for days. Help me try it on and see if it fits." Mary Martinez gleefully hugged th
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 12: Hand Over the Bank Cards
Seeing Jason's eyes fixed on the sapphire necklace, Susan quickly explained, "I asked Mom to try it on. She really likes it. After all, it's fake, so I thought I'd let her have some fun. You...aren't mad, are you?" "Fake?" Jason was exasperated. He didn't expect her to think it was fake. Those were real sapphires, as genuine as could be. Didn't she see the certificate? But before he could say anything, Mary Martinez's face darkened. She was furious that her daughter had exposed her fake jewelry in front of everyone. She had hoped to impress people with this forgery. And who did this Jason think he was, looking down on them like that? They had bought this fake with their own money! Mary Martinez immediately huffed, "What right does he have to get angry? Look at Andrew Taylor, the genius who studied abroad and now gets paid over $300,000 a year at his cushy job. Compared to him, Jason is a total loser." Her words dripped with sour jealousy. Jason was nowhere near Andrew's league. T
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 13: Suspended for Investigation
That afternoon, Susan felt awful and wanted to properly apologize to Jason. First the necklace was taken, then there was the matchmaking with Andrew Taylor - neither were things a man could accept. And the usually silent Jason had actually resorted to violence today. It seemed he was angry, the first time in three years. Seeing how much he despised Jason yet he never fought back, it showed just how upset he must be this time. Finding Jason busy in the kitchen, she steeled herself and walked over. "For slapping you yesterday, you can slap me back anytime you want." "And about the matchmaking this morning..." But before she could finish, Jason shook his head with a smile. "Why keep score over little things like that? I said as long as you believe in me, I can accomplish anything. And I believe in you too." His words warmed Susan's heart. If her mother hadn't stubbornly forced her this morning, she would've escaped to work already. "Thank...thank you..." Meanwhile, Mary Martinez
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 14: She's Asleep
"Daniel...Mr. Smith? Is that you?" Hearing the man's name, Robert Brown exclaimed in shock. He was thrilled and honored to meet such an important figure from Macro Vision Group, a true higher-up of Metropolis Central's Wesley family! He stammered nervously, "You...hello..." "Hello? I'm not very happy. What's this I hear about rumors from your company?" Daniel Smith asked expressionlessly. At his words, Robert perked up. Though it was early, he had prepared and quickly said, "It's all Susan Brown's fault. But don't worry, the Brown Group suspended her immediately." "I guarantee it won't affect our collaboration. Just replace the person in charge and everything will be fine." "Oh? Replace the person in charge?" Daniel glanced at him coolly, then scoffed. "What do you take Macro Vision Group for? And who do you think I, Daniel Smith, am? Did you think you could play us for fools with such petty tricks?" Robert froze up, about to explain, but Daniel cut him off. "I've seen plenty
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 15: A Real Apology
Robert Brown was stunned speechless. That useless Jason had dared to hang up on him? Calling back got no answer - the phone was off. "That bastard, he dares toy with me?" Robert smashed his phone furiously. He almost twisted his nose in anger. Since when did even that loser dare stomp on him like this? Anthony Brown's face was also dark. He spat and said viciously, "A fallen tiger bullied by dogs. Third brother's family has really made something of themselves, forcing us to this point. Hateful!" "Dad, what do we do now? Those two cheapskates Jason and Susan must be laughing at us." Robert was both furious and anxious. Daniel Smith had only given them one day. Any more delays would spell real trouble. Hearing this, Anthony took a deep breath helplessly. "First thing tomorrow...go apologize in person!" The next day. Anthony and Robert arrived extra early. Begrudgingly, they had to smooth things over for now. But Susan's place was quite remote. The two climbed several flights
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 16: Wedding Anniversary
Long after the eldest brother's family had left, James Brown still wore a look of disbelief. The eldest brother had actually apologized? In all his years, he had never seen the eldest brother lower his head. Today was truly an eye-opener. It felt so damn satisfying! With a creak, Susan emerged from her room. She had been hiding inside the whole time, hearing everything Jason and Grandpa said. "Susan, didn't you go out?" Mary Martinez was surprised to see her. Just earlier, the old master and eldest brother's family had urgently been looking for her. She really had been home? Susan gave a wry smile. She had gone downstairs but saw Robert Brown and came back up. In her room, Mary eagerly asked for details. Other than crediting Jason, Susan gave a rough account of what happened. She wanted to explain it clearly to her mother but didn't understand why Jason said not to mention it. Only now did Mary realize with a slap to her thigh. She regretted, "If I knew, I would've demanded mo
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 17: Wait a Moment
"An honored guest? Can't make it in Emerald City?" Susan and the guests were shocked and furious upon hearing this. What nerve! Everyone knew that while the Brown family wasn't first class, they did have some standing in Emerald City, especially with their recent deal with Macro Vision Group. In all of Emerald City, only a select few could say something like this and get away with it. Money was trivial, but reputation was paramount. If word of this got out, it wouldn't just invite ridicule, but also damage the Brown family's prestige. Old Brown had just passed away. Even if he were still alive, he definitely wouldn't have let Seasons Hotel kick out the Brown family's guests. Though surprised, Robert Brown and Margaret Brown both revealed cold smiles. Today was Susan's celebration banquet after all. If anything went wrong, she would be held responsible. Being kicked out would be the most embarrassing and awkward thing for her. Mary Martinez and James Brown were also present. Seei
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 18: The Banquet Must Proceed as Planned
His words left everyone stunned. Mr. Rodriguez had already spoken. Who was this daring to talk back? Did he really want to leave Emerald City that badly? When dozens of eyes swung towards him in unison, Susan and Robert were dumbfounded. Jason? How could it be him speaking up? It was over. Had he lost his mind? What was that useless idiot doing causing trouble here? This was Thomas Rodriguez - a truly influential figure even in all of Emerald City! "You useless fool, are you trying to doom us? Who do you think you are? Hurry up and kneel to apologize to Mr. Rodriguez. If he doesn't forgive you, get out of the Brown family yourself." Robert Brown immediately jumped out angrily. Margaret Brown also hurriedly came over, fawning apologetically, "Mr. Rodriguez, don't be angry. This man is a useless fool in my Brown family, but he's nothing to do with us." "That's right. I...we don't even know him. Feel free to break his legs if you want. "The blame is his alone. He isn't one of us Br
