The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 19: Booking the Pearl Tower
Seeing the pitying and mocking looks from Robert, Margaret, and Anthon, Jason raised an eyebrow and quickly grasped their thoughts. Little did they know, Daniel Smith was his subordinate who followed his commands. With the grand banquet concluded and endless toasts from the suppliers singing his praises, Mr. Rodriguez finally extricated himself to approach Jason. Wetting her ruby lips tentatively, Susan inquired, "That Mr. Phillips, do you know him?" Facing Susan's sincere gaze, Jason cleared his throat. "I suppose we've met...briefly." Susan's brows furrowed. "Hmm?" "We were only introduced a few days ago when I purchased the sapphire necklace. I hardly know him," Jason murmured evasively. At the mention of the necklace, Susan's expression shifted as she couldn't help but say incredulously, "Could that sapphire necklace really be genuine? It's worth over 1.6 million!" She had checked the price the other day and found it even more expensive than she imagined. She could scarcely
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 20: The Mysterious Grand Prize
Emily did not believe that there existed a man who could resist her beauty, especially a gorgeous woman like herself. This Jason must have something wrong with his eyes, or else he was impotent. How could he have no reaction in three years of living together with her, both in the prime of their youth? Was it really possible that they had slept separately for three whole years under the same roof? Susan let out an exasperated sigh. She understood her best friend's intentions all too well. With a smile, she hurried to reassure Emily with a few words. The group continued their stroll. Suddenly, they noticed a commotion down below, as if there was some kind of event happening. Emily's eyes lit up. She quickly waved the other two over to go see the excitement. Upon approaching, they realized it was a lottery drawing. The first prize was a trip to the Pearl Tower to take in the views, along with a mysterious grand prize and a chance to witness a spectacular wedding. Nearly all the you
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 21: Christopher Anderson's Revenge
Three days later. The sensational day finally arrived in Emerald City. The Pearl Tower shone like a radiant pearl, scattering the night and glittering brightly over the land. Crowds of people had gathered expectantly around it, wondering - which fairy tale couple would it be? At this moment, Susan was reluctantly dragged over by Emily, dressed in an evening gown. Emily urged, "Hurry up, your mysterious grand prize is waiting for you!" Susan looked doubtful and puzzled. "Why are you so excited? Something seems off?" "Does it? You won the first prize, don't you want to know what the big surprise prize is? It could totally shock you." Emily spoke mysteriously. "Shock me?" Susan looked at the red carpet below in surprise. Upon entering the Pearl Tower, there was a huge screen that began playing a gorgeous, familiar image. Susan froze, staring for a long time. Suddenly she cried out in shock, "This...this is me!" At this moment, Susan's jaw dropped as she gawked stupidly at the sce
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 22: Heart of the Sea
Susan was shocked when the words left his mouth. What on earth was going on here? Emily was also distressed. This was supposed to be her best friend's engagement party, a momentous occasion that should not be ruined. She quickly said in anger, "You can't smash it! Are you out of your mind? What exactly are you trying to do?" A woman's happiest moment was this, and for someone to purposely disrupt it at this time was worse than a petty man, completely unforgivable. Jason's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the Heart of the Sea he was holding froze in place, as if everything was about to go smoothly and then someone stuck their foot in at the last moment. That sickening feeling of frustration. And the troublemaker made him nauseous with disgust. Christopher Anderson, a man fired from Macro Vision Group. How did this guy show up? And how did he know that Jason was here proposing to Susan again to make up for past regrets? But amidst everyone's confusion and anger, Christopher Anders
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 23: The Supreme King
Charles Anderson was scared out of his wits, shrieking in terror as if seeing a ghost. A chill rushed from his spine straight to the crown of his head, and he broke out in a cold sweat. How could it be him? Heavens, what have I done? No, what trouble has my foolish brother stirred up? The underworld, supreme, most noble, lofty, and most fearsome and only...King! Outsiders didn't understand the meaning, but how could he, someone who came from the underworld, not know clearly? The Anderson family was like an ant by the roadside, base and tiny, while the King was an exalted saint! With one word, he could wipe out the entire Anderson family! As unbelievable as it was, the Jason Gray before him overlapped with the vague impression of "King" he had glimpsed three years ago. It was common knowledge in the underworld that the owner of the Heart of the Sea was the supreme King, but no one knew the King's true identity. Yet he was absolutely certain now that the man before him was King
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 24: Underworld
Looking at the menacing Andrew Taylor and the hired thugs he had brought along, Jason shook his head with a sigh. "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson." "Hmph, the one who needs to learn is you, Jason," Andrew scoffed. "You, a useless fool, dare to marry Susan? You have neither money, education, nor connections. What makes you think you can compete with me?" "Let me make this clear, you don't deserve her. Quietly get a divorce from her, and you may still be able to walk away today." Andrew Taylor stood with his arms crossed, an expression of disdain on his face. He had never suffered such a huge loss in his life before. To avenge this, he had been staking out this place for several days already. Today, he finally managed to catch Jason Gray. Upon hearing this, Jason raised his eyebrows. He glanced back at the Southside Branch and said lightly, "Perhaps I don't deserve her. She is a very kind woman." Just as Andrew felt a glimmer of hope, he heard Jason continue calm
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 25: The situation in the Underworld
"Oh? Kevin Jackson?" Jason raised an eyebrow. The name didn't ring a bell, though he had heard a thing or two about him in the underworld before. But why would he target Susan? Could it be the northern powers of Emerald City trying to extend their reach south? Or was he deliberately causing trouble for Susan? It had to be one of the two! Steven Martin also found it strange. This Kevin Jackson held immense power in northern Emerald City, virtually unopposed. He was known to be ruthless. His reputation in the underworld was on par with Martin's own - the man was a somebody. Usually there would only be some minor friction, but he had never been so brazen. This surprised Steven. He too was worried about the matter. "Investigate first to get to the bottom of this. Have people keep an eye on him. If he dares make a move, then the underworld cleanup will start with him." Jason spoke with an aloof expression. It was a simple line, yet carried an imposing aura, leaving no room for doub
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 26: The Medicinal Herb Farm Accident
Meanwhile, in a nightclub unknown to Jason and Susan, Robert Brown was drunkenly caressing a sexy college girl while chugging drinks with a tattooed man. "That's enough. Looking at your pathetic state, he's just a useless fool. It won't take me long to deal with him. How do you want to handle it? Just say the word." The tattooed man spoke disdainfully and contemptuously. Had Steven Martin been present, he would have instantly recognized this man - the head honcho of northern Emerald City, Kevin Jackson. He was actually consorting with Robert Brown? Hearing this, Robert Brown's face lit up excitedly. He quickly toasted and exclaimed, "Mr. Jackson, if this succeeds, you'll have my utmost gratitude!" With Mr. Jackson making a move, victory was virtually assured. He could hardly contain his elation and smugness, eager to witness the outcome. Seeing his reaction, Kevin Jackson took a sip of wine and aggressively groped the girls' chests. He clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, I hav

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,

Chapter 373: Universal Adoration
"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
