The Ruthless Son-in-law 131
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? He better stay there or die cause if anyone else was to get their hands on those documents then his life is officially over.Since he hasn't gotten a call from Jackson, then he can relax a little as he thought things couldn't be that bad.He looked at his phone and saw n

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

"Your father is not my son, you bastard!!"Dylan's heart sank, his gaze darted around the room, as if searching for some kind of confirmation or explanation, while his thoughts raced and swirled like a whirlwind. He blinked and lowered his gaze, a frown appearing on his face as it began to all make sense.Of course, or else why would they treat him badly? Why would they toss him aside like he was nothing? He helped this family reach their peak while he crumbled down from it and fell dead.That was something the elders like Anthony, Caroline, Bertha, and Killian knew. Everything Dwayne told them got into their head, especially at the fact that Robert was accused of fraud. They decided the family was better off away from their lives.Princess Mane let out a harsh breath and said, "This is honestly a cause for celebration, Dylan. At least, you know you're not biologically part of this mental family."Dylan looked at Princess Mane and realized she was right. They are not his family and w

Dylan was shocked and sat frozen in his car. His eyes were wide as he stared at Dwayne throwing more grenades into the company.His mouth hung open in shock, unable to process what he was seeing. The sounds of explosions echoed in the air as Dwayne threw more and more grenades, each one adding to the destruction, and an evil laugh was heard around the whole place.He watched as the building burned and he felt a sense of despair wash over him. It was his parents' blood sweat and tears. They poured everything they had into this company, sacrificing years to make it a success, but there it is, crumbling to the ground.Even some people driving past, saw it. It was a shocking sight.The crumbling building was also seen from afar since it was a tall building. The sounds echoed around the place"This is way evil that I thought your uncle would be, Dylan." Princess Mane said, also in surprise. "What if someone is inside?!"Dylan opened the door and was about to come out, but Princess Mane dra

Everyone was shocked, everyone had something to say about it. It was unbelievable.It turned out Robert Clifford wasn't a fraud. He was framed by his brother who happened to be the fraud in the family and now the reason why Gregory Clifford died of a stroke.And it gets better, Dwayne Clifford was the murderer of Robert Clifford and his wife. He is an evil man."But why did he have to burn down the company? Was it necessary?" Someone asked as they watched the TV in a restaurant."The man is evil, man! Burning down that company means Dwayne Clifford will always be a loser! The unfortunate guy still has nothing! That man made sure of it!""You're right. It doesn't
