The Son-in-law's Revenge

Chapter 6

Isabel paced around in her office, visibly shaking with anger.

Ethan had dared defied her yesterday and went against her wishes.

She needs to ascertain her dominance and show him who the boss it.

"Have you found her?" Isabel yelled at her private investigator, veins popped put from her temple.

"Yes." The investigator said quickly, "I found her. She is -"

"I don't care who she is." Isabel snapped, "She is beneath me. She is a roach, a pest that needs to be dealt with. "

The investigator swallowed loudly, "Are you sure you don't want to know?"

"Whoever she is, her family will surely be below the top five richest family, so no investigator, I don't care." Isabel half yelled, "What's her name?"

"Ruby S.."

Isabel cut him off, "Ruby would do just fine. I need her correct location. "

The investigator nodded quickly and tapped something on his phone. Ruby's live location came to view on the large screen in Isabel's office.

The investigator stood off to a side, not wanting to upset Isabel but also scared for her. She was about to mess with the Smith family, especially that favorite granddaughter. That could put the Logan family in a tight situation, and each time he tries to warn her, she keeps shunning him off.

As the investigator watched Isabel grab her car keys and go, he prayed for the heavens to intervene. A small car accident on Isabel's side is enough to stop the clash.

Isabel weaved in and out of cars with speed. Thank God for the cctv in her area. She was able to find Ruby easier. According to her live location, Ruby was currently shopping.

How dare her?? Was she shopping to impress Ethan, she would make sure to teach her a lesson.

"Ruby!!" Isabel screamed as she entered the shopping mall,creating a scene instantly.

"My Ruby?" Ruby asked,coming out of an aisle, where she was checking out clothes.

Bang!

The noise echoed in the mall.

Isabel's hand connected with Ruby's cheeks.

Ruby burst out laughing instead, signaling her bodyguards not to interfere.

"What was that for?" Ruby asked in-between laughs.

"Stay away from my husband, else next time, I won't stop here." Isabel warned and spurned on her heels to leave.

"I didn't ask you to leave." Ruby said coldly. Her tone stopped Isabel, who turned back to face her.

"A.. Are you talking to me?" Isabel seethed in fury, recovering from her shock.

"I am going let this go and count as an immature response from a child." Ruby warned, her voice getting colder with each words, "The next time you pull a stunt like, not only you will suffer, your family will join you."

Isabel narrowed her eyes, "Do you know who I am?"

"You're Isabel Logan, I am Ruby Smith. There's a clear difference in our status."

Isabel froze in shock, the lady standing in front her couldn't possibly be the wife of the Smith Family or their daughter. She's too young. That meant she's their....

Isabel gasped out and took a step back.

"I was going to leave your husband alone, but since you're so immature. I'll give him more reason to stay with me." Ruby snarled, then her expression suddenly changed. She gave Isabel a sweet smile, "Would also love to shop Isa? Their clothes here are one of a kind."

Isabel walked in reverse till she got outside, shaking with embarrassment.

Once outside and in the safety of her car, Isabel yelled. She almost ruined a business relationship for her family. She would find some other way to deal with the wench.

Now, the only thing she can do his reel in silence.

The Smith are one of the most influential family in Idaho.

A knock on her window jolted her back to reality, she rolled down her window subconsciously.

"Isabel!" Williams exclaimed, "What are you doing here? Did you know I would be here?"

Isabel rolled her eyes, "If I knew, I would have avoided this place completely. Good for you, I was just leaving?"

"We can use this opportunity to pick put our wedding dress."

"There would be no wedding with you, Williams." Isabel replied as she drove out.

"Don't be so sure about that." Williams called after.

Isabel got back to her office, ready to lash out at the investigator for not warning her, but he had already disappeared and his phone was was switched.

Frustrated with herself, Isabel sat in her office to brood.

Moments later, Anthony walked into her office, an annoyed expression on his face.

'What do you want?" She asked her brother in a bored tone.

"I want to know why my calls aren't going through. Did your husband block my number?"

Isabel scoffed in response, "He's under house arrest. "

"I call him." Anthony persisted, "I need him to wash my boxers."

Isabel rolled her eyes and put a call through her husband

It went directly to voicemail. Isabel shot up from her seat. Was he already eating and dining with Ruby?

"I see he blocked you too." Anthony snickered, "He needs to be taught a lesson."

On cue, a message entered from a servant, telling her, Ethan has either been kidnapped or taken my loan sharks.

Isabel fell back into her seat with relief, her husband was taken and not frolicking around like she thought.

She swirled in her seat, waiting for a ransom call whilst ignoring her older brother.

Anthony exits the office when he noticed he no longer had Isabel's attention.

Anthony stepped out of Isabel's office, his body reeling with anger at her husband. As he walked past, workers stopped to greet, then resumed what they were doing.

To him, there was no doubt he would succeed his father as CEO of the particularcompany. It was the most successful one in their business.

As he made his way to the shareholders' meeting, he couldn't keep down the excitement that bubbled through him. It was all getting real now.

Hecarrived at the meeting room quickly and was greeted by the familiar faces of shareholders, board members, and executives. Anthony took a deep breath and joined the crowd, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries as he made his way to the front of the room, near his father.

As he took his seat at the table, his eyes met David's, who was already seated across from him. They exchanged a brief, tense smile. David was also a suitable person on the list, only that he came second.

The meeting began, and the usual reports and updates were presented. But Anthony's focus kept drifting back to David who was giving him a weird smile.

Finally, th e chairman of the board, James, cleared his throat and began to speak. "As you all know, our CEO, Richard, will be retiring soon. We have three excellent candidates to succeed him: Anthony, David and Isabel. They have the skills and experience to lead the company. We will be holding a special meeting next week to discuss and vote on the next CEO."

The room erupted into murmurs. Anthony frowned at his father who would look at him.

What was his impulsive sister, Isabel doing on the list. She doesn't even know how to manage her husband.
