The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 29: The Meaning of Regret
"Wait...wait for me?" Upon hearing this, Susan immediately sensed trouble. Why did it sound like they knew she was coming? Had someone leaked the information? Or was this a deliberate setup? Regardless, the current situation was extremely dangerous. With so many local ruffians around, she couldn't contact Jason waiting outside the hotel. Even if he knew what was happening, what could he really do? There were at least a dozen men here. If Jason dared to come in, it would be suicide. Susan felt like she was surrounded by a pack of vicious wolves, leaving her extremely insecure. Her beautiful face turned pale as she stammered, "What...what do you want? Were you the ones causing trouble on my family's medicinal herb farm? I...I think we can talk this through. There's no need for such aggression." Hearing this, the gangsters burst into laughter. Kevin Jackson sneered, sipping his red wine. "Of course, my brothers need to make a living too. The Brown family's business is massive, so pa
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 30: The Useless Son-In-Law Strikes Back
In the past, Steven Martin would never have provoked Kevin Jackson either. After all, that guy was not to be trifled with and had powerful backers - it was too risky to get involved. But now, with just a word from Jason Gray, he naturally had nothing to fear. In the eyes of others, Jason was a useless son-in-law living off his wife. But to Steven, Jason Gray was the real big shot. Looking around Emerald City, Steven felt that Jason Gray was the biggest figure of all. Kevin Jackson was nothing in comparison. "Kevin Jackson, I advise you to come clean for your own good. If you do, Mr Gray might go easy on you. Consider this a friendly reminder after so many years between us." Steven Martin cracked his neck as his men began stepping forward menacingly. Seeing this, Kevin's dozen or so lackeys all changed expression. Even Kevin himself turned black with anger as he glared at Steven Martin and Jason. He scoffed, "You outnumber me, so I'll stand down. But if you think I'll bow to this u
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 31: Slander
Faced with Susan's suspicious look, Jason simply smiled and said, "Trust me. Just say that when we go to see Grandfather tomorrow. Leave the rest to me." "You should also prepare for the project presentation. Kevin Jackson will transfer the compensation money to your account." After hearing this, Susan's face twisted in bewilderment. She felt like something major had happened today - Kevin Jackson and those other people who showed up at the end didn't seem like good news. Could it really be smoothed over that easily? If so, it would be a relief. In the evening, figuring it was about time, Robert Brown called Kevin Jackson, but no one answered. He was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a wicked grin. It looked like Kevin wasn't finished yet - that petite Susan better not be wrecked too badly. He called Margaret as well, telling her it was just about done, that Susan was basically finished. Come tomorrow, it would be the day Susan's reputation went down in flames. Margar
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 32: No Big Deal
"Susan Brown, are you now making wild accusations without thinking them through? Claiming that Jason resolved Kevin Jackson's troubles? Such an enormous joke, I can't believe you'd say something so preposterous."Robert Brown laughed in disbelief.Nearby, Margaret Brown tittered smugly, seeming delighted that this wretch had been driven to the edge, spouting sheer nonsense in desperation. The gathered relatives sniffed disdainfully, shaking their heads. Who was Kevin Jackson? The top dog in the northern part of Emerald City. And who was Jason? The Brown family's worthless son-in-law. How could trash like him stand up to someone like Kevin Jackson? He wasn't even fit to shine his shoes.Just then, Keith Brown thumped his cane and rumbled, "Now that it's come to this, you still dare to stubbornly defend yourself? Do you dare to say you did not sleep with Kevin Jackson?"Susan was utterly bewildered, parting her red lips but rendered speechless. Grandfather's words did not sound like a
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 33: Roadside Rescue
"No big deal?"Susan froze, feeling a knot of frustration in her chest. Such a huge mistake, and all Robert would get is some reflection time? Destroying their own business yet no thought of punishment?Just the suspicion of her spending the night with someone had Grandfather so furious he looked ready to swallow her whole. Yet now with Robert Brown colluding with outsiders to harm her and sabotage their business, it was suddenly no big deal?Wouldn't this be humiliating for the Brown family if it got out? Robert was one of them, yet she and Jason weren't? Why was there such a vast difference in how they were treated?"Ahem...ahem..." Keith Brown gave a little cough, knowing it wouldn't look good to show such blatant favoritism. Though if not for the sake of the whole, he wouldn't have even bothered with the reflection.As far as he was concerned, it was resolved and best quickly swept under the rug. He truly didn't see it as a big issue.Seeing this, Susan pressed her lips tight, for
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 34 Dr. Cox
"Roger Cox? From Emerald City Hospital? Could he be the acclaimed prodigy physician known as Dr. Cox?"Several passersby exclaimed in shock upon hearing the name.At the mere mention, recognition dawned on the crowd. Dr. Roger Cox's reputation preceded him.Not only was he a disciple of the legendary Dr. Lee, he had made a name for himself as the eminent physician at Emerald City Hospital. His expertise was highly sought after in the city.Countless people desperately vied for an appointment with him, relying on connections and exorbitant bribes, but to no avail. No one expected to encounter the opportunity here by sheer luck.It seemed this old man's life would now be saved. The onlookers clicked their tongues in amazement, marveling at his fortune.Jason was taken aback for a moment, having heard of Dr. Cox in passing, but since someone had intervened, he was spared the trouble. After all, there was a reason behind the earlier shove, and he was not one to nitpick.His mentor had imp
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 35 Back from the Brink
"The lack of blood circulation from being pressed down earlier is likely causing the patient's complexion. There's nothing to worry about."With that, he hastily began pressing on acupoints, demonstrating skilled and seasoned emergency procedures. But the elder's condition showed no sign of improving. Jason anxiously watched on the sidelines. Roger Cox's technique was decent and his emergency response would have sufficed under normal circumstances. However, his inexperience was evident. The medical knowledge he learned from his master was likely only superficial.Medicine was profoundly complex. Grasping but a fraction of it could already be deemed miraculous by laymen.Jason had wanted to step in and treat the patient directly, but his way was barred by the white-collar worker and several others. They seemed to be deliberately obstructing him to curry favor with Timothy Harris."You stay out of this, kid. I'm warning you - if anything happens to Old Mr. Harris, you'll have hell to p
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 36: Second Uncle Returns
"He...he moved!" Roger Cox, Timothy Harris, and the surrounding onlookers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were seeing things.Could this be real?Did this man actually come back to life?"Could this...could this be resurrection?" the intern nurse exclaimed. Roger Cox watched the old man's breathing and coughing as if witnessing a miracle, trembling as he said, "Is this...is this the miraculous power of the Revival Acupuncture Techniques? The essence of traditional Chinese medicine, ancient heritage, the might of silver needles."Even his master could hardly be this incredible. The scene was like opening the gates of medicine in his mind. His own learning was truly pathetic in comparison. When he returned, he must devote himself wholeheartedly to learning from his master. He could no longer be arrogant. There were always people better than oneself, and horizons beyond horizons. Jason seemed younger than him, yet the thought of his earlier arrogance now filled Roger wit

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

"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
