The Ruthless Son-in-law 128
Jay and one other moved a rosewood coffin out of the truck. As they placed it on the ground, it thudded loudly, shaking up a cloud of dust from the pavement. "Ah!" Stephanie gasped in utter shock, her eyes widened and the expression on her face grim.It was an extreme taboo to give a coffin as a gift in their culture.Stephanie's face drained of color and her body was trembling.Sean cackled and croaked pretentiously, "So tell me, do you like the gift? Just so you know, this coffin is made of high-quality rosewood. It's such a pity that Dylan, my dear cousin, had to die at such a young age. Such a pity that his life was filled with so many thorns. Getting insulted every day, oh, what a shame! But he shouldn't worry cause I will take care of his wife for him. Also, we bought this coffin from the generous bottom of our hearts. He was so poor so it's obvious he wouldn't have been able to buy himself a coffin, which is why we are all here with this gift and our condolences. I'm sorry for

Dylan arrived at Stephanie's house, holding a bag of biscuits for his daughter since he had promised to spend the day with her. He just had to meet up with Azure King first before adhering to the promise.He didn't expect to come back with a bright red coffin at the doorstep, let alone, meeting Sean and the others.His tone was calm, yet his gaze was extremely chilling."Who the f*king hell sent a coffin to someone's doorstep when there wasn't a funeral?!" He questioned.But before everyone could talk to him, Maya, stubborn as usual, came running out of the house, "Daddy!"Dylan looked at her and immediately lifted her up in a hug."Hey, you see, I'm back now. Early this time." He told her.Maya nodded with a brightened expression. One could tell how happy she was.Stephanie was also relieved to see he was alive even though she didn't believe the shenanigans Sean was saying.On the other hand, Sean and the others didn't believe their eyes. Their joy was overturned by terror, disbelief

As Stephanie heard Caroline, Betty, and Anthony banging on the coffin, she had to ask since she was worried, "Dylan, won't they suffocate in there? Maybe a light punishment should suffice cause if bad things were to happen to them, then this wouldn't be the end of it."Dylan replied as he waited for Sean who kept trying his father's line, "Don't worry, Stephanie, nothing bad would happen to them."Then he walked toward the coffin and used something sharp to poke a few holes, ensuring that they had enough oxygen to breathe."He's not picking up," Sean said with a trembling voice.Dylan looked at him and nodded. "Okay."He looked at Princess Mane and asked, "Can you do the honors by stuffing him inside that coffin?"Princess Mane smirked and answered, "My pleasure."Sean shook his head. "No…"Princess Mane gave him a hard punch on the face, and dragged him, then she opened the coffin, and with a scream from all of them, she shoved him inside before locking the coffin shut.She clapped t

Dwayne's meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about his failure in acquiring the Hillcrest land.After faking a document, the stupid general manager was still adamant about giving him the land. He thought they were considering it when they last met, but it's like something suddenly changed.Maybe they had a long thought that since Dylan is dead, then they should keep the land all to themselves, maybe make another money out of it.Those f**king bastards!But he can't let it slide. He won't!Even if he's gonna involve the authorities, then he will. Sadly, Jackson Lance is nowhere to be found, he would have been a huge help to him.How can that bastard just disappear into thin air with his life?

While Dwayne was on his way, a crowd had formed around the coffin in the Clifford manor. Almost everyone working in the manor had come out to watch. The maids, and the guards.Bertha stomped her feet in fury, especially seeing Stephanie standing beside Dylan. "How dare you, Stephanie? You've gone too far – you've crossed the line! What kind of a mother figure are you to lead Dylan to do such a thing? Locking people up in a coffin, that's inhumane! Do you not have a sense of humanity left in you?!"Stephanie wasn't fazed by Bertha at all. "You should speak for yourself as well as every Clifford in this household. I may not be a part of this family, but I know every one of you just like the palm of my hand! You, Bertha, if it wasn't for your big brother, Robert, and my best friend, none of you would be living such blissful lives! Look at you. Givenchy outfit – Prada purse – you're even wearing Cartier accessories! Your whole outfit costs millions! Do you think you'd be able to wear suc

Dwayne noticed no one was coming to help him and he became furious. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?! I gave a damn order!! Or are you deaf?! Are you guys idiots?!!!"Then a guard replied, "Mr. Clifford, I – I quit. I can't work with you anymore, can't do this! Can't get caught up in all these anymore. I've gotten my salary for last month too, so I do not need any payment for the past few days of this month. So this is where I leave, goodbye!"He then dashed out of Clifford Manor and was out of the place in a blink of an eye."What?" Dwayne was stunned.Everyone, too.It became a domino effect, cause all the security guards resigned as well. They did the same thing, they refused to take the month's salary and just left."This – what the f*ck…" Dwayne was about to explode. He couldn't fathom their actions at all."Were they scared of Dylan?" Killian asked no one in particular."Well, I will be. Look at his face." Bertha said as she glanced at Dylan who stood there watching and ti

"Secretary Marshall!" Dylan's cold gaze landed on Elena.Elena immediately panicked, her heart beating uncontrollably in her chest as she wondered why he was facing her. Could it be that he knew she was the one who sent Spiky to them?Then Dylan continued, "I just need to speak with you, come here."Elena shook her head and said, "No, we have nothing to talk about."Dylan chuckled darkly with his mouth twisted up in a sneer. "Are you sure about that? You're the one I wanna start from? You were an accomplice, I believe that."Elena was confused. "Accomplice of what?"Dylan walked toward her and she stumbled backward in fear. "You're saying you don't know – Secretary Marshall?" Then he dragged her, earning a yelp from her, and pushed her away from the entrance where she stood toward where the Cliffords stood which was right in front of him."I want you to explain to me how Dwayne succeeded in making my dad a fraud." Dylan began talking.Elena's heart skipped once again and she looked a

"He's dead," Dylan repeated.Dwayne stood frozen on his feet, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. He couldn't wrap his head around what Dylan said so he asked, "What did you say again? How - how do you know that?"Dylan shrugged like it didn't matter to him. "The man did a wonderful job for me but it was sad that he was among those who killed my parents in cold blood. I'm sure you don't need me to complete the math for you."Dwayne shook his head, refusing to believe any word of it. "No. No, you're bluffing! You - there's nothing you can do! You are just a boy! You're nothing compared to Jackson. Everything you just said now is bullsh*t! It makes no f*king sense!!"Dylan stared at him for a while, his mouth curved in a small smirk. Then he became serious, his face hardened before saying, "But I'm not just a boy anymore. I'm not that boy you could easily throw out – out of his own home!!"Then he looked at Elena who knelt down, quivering in fear and sobbing softly. "You see, I don't
