The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 116: The Heartthrob Eric Scott
The night passed without event.The following day, Susan went to work alone, but she had arranged to meet Jason early to see the surprise.Upon entering the company, however, the atmosphere seemed amiss. A cluster of female colleagues were buzzing excitedly, their cheeks flushed with excitement as they huddled over their phones, whispering fervently."What's gotten into everyone today? Why the commotion?" Susan wondered aloud with a puzzled expression.The secretary, unable to contain her excitement, blurted out, "Haven't you heard, Madam Chairman? The heartthrob Eric Scott is in Emerald City! He's absolutely dreamy.""Eric Scott? The celebrity?" Susan paused, then it clicked— the same star who had been all over the recent news, overshadowing even the bankruptcy buzz surrounding Auspicious Property Company. His fame was undeniable.Yet, she had little interest in men who were all style and no substance; she much preferred the genuine comfort Jason provided."By the way, how are those

Meanwhile, Jason had just received the keys to the villa. Knowing how hard Susan had worked to secure a home, he imagined her delight in realizing her dream. He wondered what her reaction would be.But at that moment, Susan had arrived at Eric Scott's hotel, her heart in turmoil with nerves. Facing the Sanchez family as her competition, she had no guarantee of success."Miss Susan? I've been waiting for you. Please, follow me," a man with the air of an agent greeted her with a smile. However, unnoticed by anyone, his eyes betrayed his admiration for the stunning woman before him, her figure exquisitely outlined by a form-fitting dress, her face innocent, and her demeanor gentle, stirring an instant attraction.Taken aback by the attention, Susan replied respectfully, "Thank you, sir. But I was under the impression we were here to negotiate. Why meet in a hotel?"With a flicker of something in his eyes, the agent hastily explained with a reassuring smile, "You understand how celebritie
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 118: The Despicable Scoundrel
Once he had something to hold over Susan, all those titles – Chairman, Project Manager – they'd all be ousted!The elder wouldn't tolerate a woman who tarnished the family name, and Jason, that waste of space, would surely be kicked out along with her.Then, the fruits of victory would be his!Amidst his smug satisfaction, Eric Scott and Susan began negotiations. After hearing the Brown family's offer, Eric Scott said with a devilish charm, "While the Brown family's offer is decent, it pales in comparison to the Sanchez family's."&n
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 119: Eric Scott's Demise
But Eric Scott dodged with a vile laugh, his breathing becoming beastly from the drug’s effect. He tore at her blouse, his eyes alight with greed, "Miss Susan, just give in to me.""Forgot to mention—there's no antidote for this aphrodisiac. The only cure is to find a man and lose yourself in passion.""In your dreams!" Susan stumbled, her body ablaze with fever, throwing anything she could grab, now cornered. Tears mixed with anger, she cried out, "Even in death, I won't succumb to a vile man like you!"But as she spoke, Eric Scott lunged again, laughing maniacally. Susan's footing gave
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 120: Margaret and Robert
At the mention of Robert Brown, Jason's eyes turned frosty—him again, always too stubborn to see the writing on the wall. But then, catching sight of the incoherent Eric Scott and a smoldering incense stick, Jason smirked, "Whether you live or not depends on your endurance now."He whispered instructions to Steven Martin, then left with Susan and the incriminating laptop."What... what does that mean?" Juan paled, sensing impending doom, as fear washed over his face.But Steven Martin grinned wickedly, snuffed out the incense, split it in two, and forced it into the mouths of Eric Scott and Juan. "You both fancied yourselves players, so now you'll pay the price.""You're so adept at games, so feast to your heart's content today!"With that, he stuffed the remains of the incense into their mouths.Juan's eyes widened in terror, shaking his head frantically in resistance. That incense was an aphrodisiac he had procured; just a whiff could fill a room with its potent scent. But swallowin
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 121: Mountain Villa
"Wait... wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding...""Misunderstanding? You wretch, caught red-handed, what excuse do you have? When did you start coveting me? How long have you been planning this?""In this state, how can I possibly marry into the Sanchez family?" Margaret Brown raged, her fury uncontainable.Driven to anger by her relentless accusations, Robert Brown shoved her away and scoffed, "Even without today's events, do you really think with your looks you could catch the eye of Billy Sanchez? At best, you'd be a plaything to be tossed away.""Wake up and stop dreaming!""You..." Margaret Brown was incredulous and furious. She knew her chances were slim, but to think that after he had violated her, he dared to crush her dreams?"Do you think you aren't living in a fantasy? The chairmanship is almost snatched away by Susan. If I tell Grandfather about today, you're finished."Margaret Brown seethed with a venomous threat.Her words struck Robert Brown wi
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 122: A Woman's Mouth is a Devil's Den
"Nowadays, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can stroll into Mountain Villa. What are the guards even for, if strays can slip in unnoticed?""You..."Susan was furious. This man was too arrogant, disparaging them as soon as he opened his mouth. Yet she could not refute him, for they had indeed snuck in like thieves. Who could have expected to run into Ashley?Nothing could be done but to admit their misfortune at encountering her. Jason, however, would not tolerate this. Raising an eyebrow, he retorted, "Who said we're not homeowners? What makes you so sure you are?""Haha...haha..." Hearing this, Ashley and Dylan Simmons threw their heads back in raucous laughter. What an ignorant fool, a frog in a well who knew nothing of the world.Ashley deliberately thrust out her chest and looked down her nose, mocking, "Susan, your little man has such shallow horizons. A sponger like him could never comprehend my standing, no, he doesn't even deserve to. "Dylan Simmons is the vice president of a list
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 123: Open the Door
Dylan Simmons gave a cough. This woman could really spin a tale! He was only here on orders to deliver a document; she had insisted on tagging along and was now claiming to be the owner. Even if he was given years, he probably couldn't afford that grand villa, let alone the manor.But putting on airs depended on the audience. Discerning elites would likely see through it immediately, but these two country bumpkins seemed sufficiently fooled.Just then, Jason suddenly said, "That's not right!""Wha-what's not right?""This house didn't cost a hundred million, but a hundred and thirty million dollars." Jason said seriously."Ha, like you were the one who bought it! It's my house, how could I not know? And what does it matter anyway? Don't pretend you can compete with me. You? Compete with me?" Dylan Simmons snorted derisively. "Right, don't think you can show off just because you heard some gossip. Whether it's a hundred million or a hundred thirty million, it's beyond what a useless

Chapter 381: Conclusion
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"A series of dull impacts resounded through the room, accompanied by cries of pain. Bodyguards were sent flying with single slaps or kicked into walls, the scene utter chaos.In moments, over a dozen guards lay incapacitated. Even Bennett found himself on the receiving end of a devastating punch to the chest, sent flying as he coughed up blood."Who... who are you? It's impossible... How can someone so young possess such formidable skills? Cough... ugh..." Bennett struggled to speak through his pain.Jason was undoubtedly the youngest Martial Arts Master he had ever encountered, and easily among the top ten in skill."My name is Jason. I warned you: harm her, and you'd face a gruesome end. The Murphy family will pay dearly for this transgression." Jason's cold voice accompanied his methodical approach.He made no move to pursue Henry Murphy. There was no need—the man couldn't truly escape. Even if he fled Central Area, Jason could drag him back."Jason? Jackson! You

Chapter 380: The Tables Turn
Jason, his face a mask of cold fury, tightened his grip on Henry Murphy's throat. He addressed Bennett, "The tables have turned. Your choices are simple: mutual destruction or her release. Decide."His grip tightened further, nearly crushing Henry Murphy's windpipe. The young heir's face turned an alarming shade of purple as he struggled for air."Quickly... cough cough... save... save me..." Henry Murphy choked out desperately.Henry Murphy never anticipated falling into such a trap. He had dismissed Jason entirely, viewing him as nothing more than a notorious weakling. Who could have foreseen that he was actually a formidable opponent?A grave miscalculation indeed.This young man was far from ordinary.Alas, this realization came too late. Two powerful fingers now threatened to crush his windpipe at any moment."Stop... stop this, you scoundrel! If you dare harm our young master, the Murphy family will annihilate your entire Brown family. You'll all perish!" Bennett roared in threa

Chapter 379: A Tricky Situation
Her venomous words dripped with contempt, a stark contrast to her recent pleas for mercy. It was Jason who had shown her kindness then, advising her to disappear. Clearly, his words had fallen on deaf ears.Perhaps the allure of wealth and status proved too strong to resist.Henry Murphy, disdaining further dialogue, fixed Jason with an intense gaze. "I hear you possess jade pendants of a particular hue. Moreover, you seem to understand their significance and have been collecting them. Excellent. Hand them all over to me.""Such high-grade Mystical Objects are beyond the likes of you. Cooperate, and if I'm feeling generous, I might spare your miserable life.""Jade pendants?" Jason's pupils constricted as he suddenly turned his piercing gaze towards Ashley, murderous intent radiating from him."It was you. You told him!"The revelation stunned him. This wretched woman had not only betrayed his kindness but had also sold him out.Ashley's knowledge of the jade pendants was no surprise

Chapter 378: Jealousy Drives People Mad
"Cough... cough!"Susan coughed with difficulty as the gag fell away. She gazed at the frenzied, sharp-tongued Ashley, shaking her head with a complex expression. "You're mistaken. I've never tried to compete with you. This is all in your imagination.""Besides, no matter how envious you are, it shouldn't drive you to such extremes. Do you truly harbor such hatred towards me?"Had Ashley not confessed, Susan might never have imagined that envy could transform someone so drastically, leading them down this irredeemable path of ruthlessness."Hmph, spare me your false sympathy. In my eyes, you're nothing but a contemptible wretch. If I hadn't caught you, would you be uttering these words so meekly? You're probably gloating inside!""Let me tell you this: you'll never rise above me again. You belong beneath my feet, nothing more than a lowly creature!"Ashley sneered through gritted teeth.As she raised her hand to strike again, another resounding slap echoed through the room. However, t

Chapter 377: Familiar Face
Jason's face turned frosty, his teeth clenched as he spoke, "I swear, if you harm a single hair on her head, I will annihilate your entire lineage. No matter who you are or what your status might be, do not underestimate my capabilities or my resolve.""State your demands clearly. Whatever you want, I'll provide. But if you provoke me... you will regret it immensely."He spoke while barely containing his fury, utterly shocked by this turn of events. With the enemy holding the upper hand, he rapidly tried to deduce their identity.The voice was vaguely familiar, but not entirely recognizable. Who would dare to be so bold?Lotus Thirteen? Or had Justin Wesley arrived in Emerald City to make his move? No, it seemed too soon; he hadn't fully inherited the Wesley family yet.But if not them, then who? Matt Turner or Gerald White? He had certainly made quite a few enemies recently."Heh, such big words, Mr. Gray. Why don't we continue this conversation when you arrive? The last hotel on Sea

Chapter 376: Susan in Peril
No matter how Mary Martinez explained or pleaded, it had no effect. The old lady simply ignored her.It was as if she was saying, "Just wait and see in three days!"Aunt Diaz was alarmed. If the old lady were to cause such a commotion, what would become of Susan and Mary Martinez's reputations?Soon after, James Brown returned home with Susan. Upon hearing about the $100,000 allowance demand, they were stunned. Good heavens, they knew the old lady would be trouble."What... what should we do? Try to talk her out of it, or send her back home. If she keeps carrying on like this, we won't be able to live here anymore," James Brown said, rubbing his temples."Easy for you to say. Why don't you do it? I promise I'll support you, but I don't want to be labeled as unfilial," Mary Martinez retorted, her lips twisted in a grimace. She had already talked herself hoarse trying to reason with her mother.Seeing the situation, Jason furrowed his brow. If Susan was in a difficult position, he could

Chapter 375: An Exorbitant Allowance
"What do you understand? Listen carefully: from now on, whenever you see Gray divine physician, you must show the utmost respect. Never offend him, or even the Parker family won't be able to protect you!" Leonard Wood warned her gravely.Stephanie Parker, thoroughly frightened, nodded repeatedly...Meanwhile, Jason had returned home, where Old Mrs. Martinez was inevitably causing a scene again, making everyone uncomfortable. However, given her status, no one could say anything."A good-for-nothing loafer who's busier than my granddaughter. What's going on? Is everyone avoiding me? Do you all want this old woman to live out her days in loneliness?" Old Mrs. Martinez's voice dripped with sarcasm.Jason and Grace Diaz could only sigh inwardly as they served her tea, cut fruit, and attended to her every whim to avoid further complaints."Mom, what are you saying? I'm here to keep you company, aren't I? We don't need to pay any attention to that useless fellow. Out of sight, out of mind -

Chapter 374: More Powerful Than Lee the Divine Doctor
Stephanie Parker and the onlookers were struck dumb, their eyes wide and jaws hitting the floor in sheer disbelief.This seemingly ordinary individual had managed to make Uncle Wood bow his head. What was going on? What kind of background did he have? What was his story? Had the world gone mad?Even Kelly Harris, who knew of Jason's exceptional medical skills, was left speechless at the sight before her. She gaped at the nonchalant Jason, unable to comprehend the scale of his influence that commanded the reverence of hundreds.While others might not grasp the full significance, as a medical student, Kelly understood perfectly. These were the cream of the crop in the medical field, each capable of being the crown jewel of any major hospital.One person alone could sustain an entire hospital!Over a hundred such individuals - can you imagine the impact? It was as if half the medical world was trembling before him!"This... this..."As everyone stood in shock, Jason turned to Roger Cox,

"As if! You can't even get in yourself, and you have the audacity to make such an offer? Have you no shame?" Kelly Harris rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced.But Stephanie Parker just smirked. "Clearly, you don't know me well enough. My family, the Parkers, are part of the Medical Family. If I choose to reveal my identity, getting in there would be as easy as strolling through my own backyard. Many of the medical geniuses in there even know me personally.""Do you think this Chinese Medicine Conference could keep me out now? Well, do you believe me now?" she boasted.She had never revealed this information before. Even her admirers and followers were unaware of her prestigious background."You're from the Medical Family?" Jason was surprised, not expecting to encounter two members in one day.Kelly Harris was even more shocked. This was the first time she had heard about this. She never imagined that her insufferable rival was from such an esteemed background. No wonder Stephanie ha
