The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 48: Mysterious Birthday Gift
Hearing this, Jason was dumbfounded, vaguely laughing it off, "Maybe it's a guilty conscience making them paranoid.""Is that so?" Susan considered it and found some sense in his words. But it was probably fear of Daniel Smith right? Otherwise, why would Mr. Morris come to apologize?"Right, have you decided what to gift Grandpa for his 70th birthday? We offended Uncle this time, so he'll surely seize the chance to retaliate. If our gift is lacking, he'll definitely nitpick it to death."Susan felt somewhat troubled. Just thinking about these matters, and her irresponsible parents, she could only feel mentally exhausted.But Jason was brimming with confidence, "Don't worry, this birthday gift will definitely be the best one."Seeing his absolute assurance, Susan could only suppress her doubts. For now, believing in him was the only thing she could do. After all, they were poor. There was no way for them to buy anything nice. Her pay this month had already been spent by her mother.If
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 49: Invisible Mockery
Jason was getting more and more brazen in defying her. She would find an excuse to put him in his place properly. In her eyes, Jason could only ever be the pathetic weakling cowering in the corner, unable to fight back or talk back. He was the perpetual punching bag, obediently catering to their every whim. Going against her wishes was the height of disrespect.But James Brown was too preoccupied with keeping up appearances to think much about that. Still uneasy, he asked again, "Susan, you're sure you have the birthday present ready?""Dad, don't worry. I've got it covered this time. We'll make the family proud and save face. Jason was the one who got the gift, so be nice to him from now on." As soon as the words left her mouth, Mary Martinez and Raymond Brown reacted as if scalded."Susan, have you lost your mind? What kind of decent gift could that worthless fool possibly get?" Mary shrieked."We're doomed. If he brings something embarrassing, I'd rather not have come at all," Ray
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 50: Make a Baby Soon
Though the congratulatory speeches seemed simple on the surface, intentionally excluding one person cleverly conveyed James' complete worthlessness in stark contrast to the others.It was like plunging daggers into their weakest spots, eviscerating them without dirtying their hands. Each repetition twisted the knife, trampling their dignity and heaping scorn upon them. The assembled dignitaries could clearly recognize how utterly useless James' family was.Even old Brown frowned at them. He had been oblivious before to how shamefully incompetent James was compared to Anthony and Raymond."Hmph, useless fools!" old Brown snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with James Brown's family. Utterly pathetic. Though advanced in years, he was sharp enough to see this was a deliberate snub. Still, it was a sign of Anthony and Raymond's connections and influence that they could gather such prestigious guests. James deserved such humiliation. If not for Susan's efforts, James would pro
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 51: Who is Mr. Gray
Anthony and Raymond were also greatly astonished. This person was no ordinary figure. As the dean of Emerald City Hospital, his status and standing vastly exceeded theirs. That he would deign to attend their banquet brought tremendous glory and face to their family. Even the influential could not easily invite him.Just recently, Raymond Brown had failed to meet Dean Butler despite offering record low medicine prices. Yet now he had come of his own accord. Who could have invited someone so esteemed?Amidst the excitement, Dean Butler simply smiled and waved off old Brown's flattery. "Mr. Brown is too kind. I merely happened to be passing by and wished to meet Jason, Mr. Gray. I am very eager to make his acquaintance.""Jason? Which Jason?" The guests were baffled, unsure who he meant.Many instinctively thought of the useless fool Jason Gray but didn't dare believe it. Why would someone as eminent as Dean Butler make a special trip to see Jason? Surely he jested!Roger Cox then clarif
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 52: Favorite Gift
Exchanging sinister smiles, Anthony Brown suddenly stepped forward with Robert once the atmosphere was ripe. "Father, I have prepared a special gift for your 70th birthday, for you."As he spoke, Robert Brown carefully presented an odd-looking set of Zisha teaware."Oh? Robert, what kind of gift is this?" someone asked curiously. It looked rather unique.Old Brown and James glanced over with interest while Jason's brows furrowed as he inspected the tea set. Then he shook his head and said, "It's fake!""What?" Susan exclaimed in surprise, but before she could inquire further, Raymond Brown also stepped forward confidently. "Father, I've also prepared a gift for you, even better than Big Brother's." Raymond Brown had a mysterious air despite empty hands."Oh? What is it?" old Brown asked curiously.Raymond Brown exchanged looks with Alexander Brown, who proudly held up a contract. "My gift, Father, is 49% of the shares in my Runhe Medicine Company, unconditionally given to you as cong

So saying, she produced a plain wooden box, seemingly ordinary and rather old but worthless. Similar boxes could be found by the dozen in antique stores for a few dollars.Yet at the sight, Mark Phillips seemed to comprehend something, his lips quirking in a subtle smile."Favorite? Ha, don't boast if you can't take it. With your poverty, you can hardly feed yourselves. What decent gift could you possibly have that compares to ours?" Robert Brown laughed derisively.The Brown relatives also guffawed, "I bet they were tricked at some antique shop into buying this rubbish box, thinking it some ancient treasure!""Take that trash back before you embarrass yourselves further! I'm ashamed for you..."Eugene, Alexander Brown and the rest laughed uproariously. What nerve she had to make such claims!Mary Martinez and James Brown were confounded. Their daughter had lost her mind! Competing gifts with the other families? Sheer lunacy! Calling it self-humiliation was too kind.The two helpless
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 54 Fake Gift
Old Brown's expression stiffened as he quickly appeased, "Mr. Flores, forgive the ignorance of our juniors. Please do not take offense."Though he said so, inwardly he was elated. With Mr. Flores' confirmation, what else could be said? The family heirloom was finally complete!Yet Mr. Flores seemed to recall something. After giving the frozen Robert Brown an icy glare, he scoffed, "I disdain quibbling with ignorant youths. But since reputation was mentioned, I have more to say.""That Zisha dinnerware set, 'Good Fortune Beckons' if I'm not mistaken, is indeed an early work. However, I happen to know it was later gifted by Mr. Hughes to a prominent family in Metropolis Central.""Disregarding value, their sentimental ties must run deep. I doubt that family would be so destitute as to sell the dinnerware. In short, the set before us now is fake. The real one remains in Metropolis Central."His shocking words triggered an uproar among the guests. "Fake? How...how can that be?"Old Brown'
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 55 Shares Become Troublesome
These words made everyone frown. What nerve! What outstanding payment? Raymond Brown was in trouble?Amidst the confusion, Raymond Brown, who had been watching gleefully, froze, his expression changing drastically. Damn it, how did these bastards find this place? He had told them to wait a bit longer!But as shock rippled through the crowd, he pulled Alexander Brown into the throng to hide. Better to evade if possible.Old Brown's anger flared. "Who are you people? How dare you cause a ruckus at my birthday party? What payment? Explain yourselves clearly."On hearing this, the leader of the group raged, "Raymond Brown, Chairman of Runhe Medicine Company, purchased a large batch of new machinery from me to produce medicine. But the final payment has been delayed until now."He said he would double the payment after securing a deal with Emerald City Hospital. But two days ago I found out he didn't get that deal at all! The company premises are deserted, no one's picking up the phone. Wh
