The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 37: The Banquet
Runhe Medicine Company was quite well-known in the other city. Its return to invest locally was big news. The chairman, Raymond Brown, had been an influential figure in his early years. But feeling overshadowed at home by his eldest brother Anthony Brown, and seeing little room for advancement, he took some capital and went to try his luck in another city. Turns out he really caught the right opportunity and single-handedly built up Runhe Medicine Company. Jason had met the man once or twice but didn't have a good impression. He always had an arrogant, domineering air. While there was no affection, Raymond was still one of the more capable members of the Brown family. His son, Alexander Brown, was also outstanding among the younger generation, at least better than Robert Brown.Returning this time, he was sure to flaunt his success. Compared to him, the James Brown family would be utterly ashamed at their miserable state, unable to match up in anything...In the evening when Jason
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 38: The Green Leaves Set Off the Flowers
Robert Brown's contempt and Alexander Brown's disdain infuriated Susan. Though she had mentally prepared herself, she did not expect to be singled out and bullied like this.Before even entering the hotel, she was already subjected to the cold ridicule and deliberate provocation of the two men.Clenching her teeth, Susan said, "Alexander Brown, is this how you treat your guests? Is this your idea of hospitality? If word of this gets out, who do you think will be embarrassed - your family or mine? Who is being less civil here?"Mary Martinez and James Brown looked awkward and uneasy. Being looked down upon by a nephew was beyond humiliating.Meanwhile, Jason wondered if he should present the female pendant he had retrieved from Mark Phillips to Susan. Her status within the Brown Group would surely soar once she brandished it.Hearing Susan's words, Alexander Brown narrowed his eyes derisively and scoffed, "My, my, not seen you for over a year and now dear cousin is yelling at me? What'
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 39: Trouble Comes from the Mouth
Hearing the grating laughter echoing through the grand hall, Susan, Mary and James' faces stiffened. Though they knew they shouldn't have come, they did not expect such humiliation. But had they not come, the Brown family might have used this as ammunition against them. How could their family withstand such underhanded tactics?Just then, a middle-aged man bearing resemblance to James Brown emerged with a glass of red wine, musing, "James, don't take Alexander's joking personally. Not everyone can be joking fodder.""That Alexander even brings you up shows he thinks highly of you. Not many useless fellows get mentioned by him at all.""Hahaha..."The crowd erupted in laughter again. Jason's eyebrow twitched. This was none other than Susan's uncle, the second son of the old master, Raymond Brown. Though his words seemed casual, they were anything but. Feigning to sing James' praises while actually putting him down, not treating him as a younger brother at all. And with his own son r
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 40: Evil Meets with Evil End
"Not to be taken seriously? Does Daniel think he can gloss over this with just a few words?!" Daniel Smith strode out and said coldly.He had yet to enter but already overheard someone slandering him. Did they think this tiger had no bite?Although he had some reputation in business circles, being looked down upon was normal as a newcomer to Emerald City. But this did not mean he would tolerate random contempt, or how else could he establish himself here?As he spoke, he glanced at Jason as well, but Jason remained aloof as always, ignoring it entirely.Susan's beautiful eyes lit up, unconsciously relieved. At least her business partner was here now. The contract issues could help relieve some of the pressure on her. Otherwise with the earlier situation, she would have struggled to handle it alone.As for why Daniel Smith came, she could guess one or two reasons. This was his first Emerald Banquet since arriving in Emerald City, such a grand event naturally could not be missed, greatl
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 41:Murphy's Law
"Wha-what?!"Raymond Brown and the guests were shocked stiff, never having heard of such a thing before."How...how is this possible?"Even Daniel Smith and Susan were surprised, then felt a sense of pleasant surprise. Manager Garcia then respectfully approached Jason. "My poor reception last time was my mistake and oversight. Please forgive me, Mr. Gray."After the celebratory banquet, he had specially asked the boss why the attitude toward these people changed so suddenly. What exactly had Mr. Phillips told him?Although Mr. Rodriguez didn't explain, he warned that Jason was a hidden big shot. He must not be provoked!From Thomas Rodriguez's expression, he could tell a lot. This Jason was surely a prominent figure. Having offended him last time, this was a perfect chance to repay the favor.Jason was taken aback for a moment. Faced with his deference and apology, he calmly said, "It's fine. But isn't directly disregarding a guest's demands problematic for you?"Manager Garcia glanc

Hearing this, Nathan Morris quickly fawned, "The divine doctor is right, as expected of a divinely wise physician, impartial and just.""That's right. It's just an ingredients contract, insignificant to Mr. Smith. Let it go then. Shouldn't Mr. Cox be given face..."Seeing them ingratiate themselves, Daniel Smith's expression darkened while Susan's pretty face paled. This contract was her last hope. Without it, she was finished. But Alexander Brown and Raymond Brown bared their teeth in smug grins. With Doctor Cox's support, who else dared interfere?The two looked towards Susan's family again, cruel smiles on their faces. This bunch of useless fools actually dared talk back earlier. It seemed they truly tired of living. If they weren't driven from the Brown family and made to beg for mercy on their knees, they would not rest.Mary Martinez and James Brown's faces turned ghastly pale, anxious and afraid. Their hatred for Jason deepened, cursing him bitterly in their hearts. It was all
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 43: No Men Allowed
"You foolish girl, what are you saying? Manager Garcia gave these to me himself, it's all fine wine. We can definitely sell them for a good price when we get home, I have to win back the money I lost!" Mary's face was filled with avarice. Jason sighed helplessly. Did she think they were given for free? In reality, it was to curry favor with him, using just a few bottles of red wine to put him in debt. He had paid a high price.But Mary glared at him. "Are you dead? You ran off so quickly just now when it was time to do something embarrassing. Also, if you dare speak out of line again, get lost!""If not for my daughter's connections, you would have had your legs broken by those security guards long ago."Jason glanced at her indifferently, completely unmoved as he said flatly, "Even if there is a next time, I will still stand up, unlike all of you who watched your daughter be humiliated.""What? You, you useless trash, you actually dare to talk back?" Mary stared wide-eyed, struck sp
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 44: Strange Shop
"No men allowed?" Jason blinked in surprise, looking the man up and down peculiarly. "Are you not a man yourself? On what grounds can you go in?"The lecherous-looking man acted arrogantly, patting his large belly and gloating, "I'm the store manager here. How can you compare with me? Stop wasting time and get lost."Seeing the man's overbearing attitude, it seemed this was not the first or second time he had done this. Yet he was still acting forcefully and aggressively. But upon hearing this, Jason was amused. He did not back down and retorted, "So what if you're the store manager? You're not selling women's underwear here. Why can't I go in? What kind of stupid rule is this?""Besides, I'm here with my wife. Do you expect me to stand outside and give suggestions while she shops for clothes?""Oh? Your wife?"The lecherous man looked him up and down skeptically, then scoffed, "With your looks, you have a wife? Let me make this clear, we have another rule here - ugly women are also

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

"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
