The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 358: I'll Wait for You at the Hotel
Ever since Old Mrs. Martinez's arrival, the household had been in disarray. Rumor had it she planned to stay indefinitely, which was even more vexing.Sending her away would be unfilial!Yet allowing her to stay meant enduring her constant derision of Jason, harassment of Susan, and berating of James Brown, leaving the house in perpetual chaos.As Jason pondered this dilemma, he received an unexpected text message: "I have the pendant. If you want it back, come to Room 306 at the last hotel on Seaside Road. I'll be waiting!""Hmm?" Jason was taken aback. A hotel? Who sent this message? Had they picked up the jade pendant?Something about the text seemed off."Could it be... a trap?"Jason frowned, forwarding the address to Lawrence and his team, instructing them to investigate cautiously on his behalf.If the jade pendant was indeed there, they were to retrieve it!Just then, a man in sunglasses noticed him and approached with a retinue of bodyguards. Looking down his nose at Jason, h
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 359: Auctions
Perhaps riding this wave of interest, several wealthy buyers began bidding fervently, quickly pushing the price to $3 million.By Jason's estimate, $2 million would have been a high price for these red agate beads. The current bid far exceeded their value. The auction house clearly knew how to capitalize on trends.At that moment, he noticed Gerald White enter, his face a mask of frost, eyes fixed coldly on Jason.James Brown, who had been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly felt uncomfortable under that gaze. He shifted uneasily, unable to contain himself. "What did you say to him earlier? Why does he seem to hate you so much? Aren't you just causing trouble for yourself?"Jason remained impassive. Indeed, he had deliberately provoked Gerald White, curious to see how Eldoria City's White family would react.It had been some time since his return from Metropolis Central, and the White family had been suspiciously quiet, not even sending their usual assassins. He wondered what they were p
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 360: Wealthy Gerald White
Lotus Thirteen also scoffed, "No money, yet daring to pose as a big spender. Know your place. Did you think this was child's play where you could speak frivolously?"Henry Murphy raised an eyebrow in surprise, a look of intrigue crossing his face. He sensed a whiff of gunpowder in the air.But Julia Stewart of the Stewart family came to Jason's defense: "Why does this sound like a pack of dogs yapping incessantly? I, on behalf of the Stewart family, will underwrite all of Mr. Gray's bids today. Whatever Mr. Gray fancies, he may purchase.""Does anyone have any objections?"The Stewart family heiress's declaration instantly silenced many. With someone backing the bids, what more could be said?The Stewart family indeed possessed such influence and wealth!James Brown and Emily, however, wore peculiar expressions. What connection did Jason have with the Stewart family to warrant such generosity?Jason could finally breathe easier. He shook his head with a wry smile, not anticipating suc
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 361: No Need for Further Words, Let the Battle Begin
James Brown also breathed a sigh of relief. His heart had nearly leapt out of his chest moments ago. He knew this good-for-nothing was merely indulging in the thrill of bidding, though he had to admit it felt rather satisfying.Just then, the cheongsam-clad beauty, her face glowing, pointed to an exquisite jade box and announced, "Next up is the highlight of tonight's auction, our grand finale - a jade pendant, another precious Mystical Object..."But before she could finish, Jason interrupted boldly, "No need for further words. Let the battle begin. $100 million!""$100 million?"The crowd gasped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief.Had he lost his mind? Without even seeing the item clearly, he'd bid $100 million straight away. Was his family running a money printing press?James Brown's body shook violently, causing him to spew his coffee. He nearly crawled under his chair. $100 million? He might not see that much money in this lifetime, or even the next!Madness! This good-f
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 362: An Unexpected Victor
Jason pondered for a moment but didn't speak. Although he wanted the jade pendant, purchasing wasn't his only option.For instance, if Gerald White was determined to oppose him, letting him buy it would mean two jade pendants in one location - essentially delivering treasures to Jason's doorstep.If someone wanted to buy things for him, why should Jason object? He could simply wait for the delivery.He still had unfinished business with the White family of Eldoria City!Clearly, the young White scion was oblivious to being targeted. At that moment, he was anxious, his eyes bloodshot."Hurry up, what's the hold-up? Conclude it quickly...""$130 million once, $130 million twice..." As the cheongsam-clad beauty's excited and measured voice rang out, she proclaimed, "$130 million...""Wait! I bid $150 million!" A sudden voice interrupted the proceedings.The crowd was stunned. Was there a hidden tycoon among them?The young White scion was so enraged he kicked the table, shattering it. Wh
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 363: Deceptive Mask
They had all seen the jade pendant and knew of its miraculous properties. Her description matched perfectly—something an outsider couldn't fabricate."Mr. Lawrence, how should we handle her? Should we force the information out of her?" Sean suggested.Ashley jumped onto the bed, her face pale. Though her chances were slim, she hoped to take a gamble.In the silent room, Lawrence contemplated before speaking. "You two stay here and watch her. If she tries anything, throw her out the window.""Understood!"Ashley's face turned green with fear.Meanwhile, Jason left the auction house, feeling invigorated. He could sense the jade pendant's enhancement of his abilities.With his innate spiritual energy and this top-tier Mystical Object constantly nourishing him, he felt stronger today than yesterday.If he had known earlier, he would have acquired more valuable Mystical Objects to further increase his power.James Brown exited with a satisfied expression, having thoroughly enjoyed the spec
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 364: The Truth of Years Past
"What... what did you say?" Gerald was stunned. His once-caring uncle had just called him worthless?Noah scoffed, "Isn't it true? If not for your sister, how could a failure like you ever hope to become the White family heir? Don't delude yourself. Barring unforeseen circumstances, that role was never meant for you."Gerald felt his world crumbling. Had his uncle always viewed him this way?Was this how everyone saw him? Had he always been nothing more than a joke?"I don't believe it. This can't be true! I am the White family heir, irreplaceable..." Gerald protested weakly.Noah sneered, "Don't fantasize. Ten years ago, the family undertook a crucial mission that could elevate our status. Your sister, Hedda White, was chosen for this task.""She had to erase her past to shoulder the family's hopes. Her conditions for accepting were twofold: first, to make you the White family heir, and second, to let you live freely, oblivious to the truth.""Had things gone according to plan, you w
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 365: Jason's Kindness
"If only you had considered the consequences of your actions," Jason said, shaking off her grip. He had warned her long ago.Ashley's face fell in despair. Was death her only option? Jason was her last hope.No matter where she hid, the Murphy family's resources would track her down."Please, I was wrong. I truly regret my actions. If Susan were here, she would help me!"Jason paused, thoughts of Susan giving him pause. He sighed, realizing how Susan's influence had softened him. Was this the effect of one's environment?Reluctantly, he advised, "Leave Emerald City. Disappear. If I'm not mistaken, the Murphy family will be too preoccupied to pursue you for a while..."Given Henry Murphy's acquisition of the jade pendant, Lotus Thirteen wouldn't let him off easily, and Gerald White would also be watching. The Murphy family would have no time to worry about a single woman.The door slammed shut, leaving Ashley alone, her expression a mix of emotions, her mind racing."Leave Emerald City
