The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 121
The moment Jannica thought she had outmaneuvered me, I let the full weight of my plan come crashing down on her.At nine in the morning sharp, I walked into Magnus Tech's boardroom, where our most critical investors were waiting. Andrew, Evan and Robert sat beside me and their expressions look unreadable. Outside this room, Jannica's misinformation was still spreading like wildfire. She thought she had bought herself time but in reality, she had run out of it."Gentlemen, let'# get straight to the point."I pulled up the data on the screen with figures, charts and and detailed reports from our new investors. Then I let the silence stretch as they took it all in. Soon, I delivered the final blow."Everything you've heard about Magnus Tech collapsing? About our investors pulling out?" I asked before I paused and making sure I had their full attention. "It was a lie."A few investors exchanged glances. Some were skeptical while the ohers were intrigued. Then Andrew handed them a sealed d

Jannica wasn’t smart enough to pull this off alone. Her attempt was desperate but the resources she had used like the hackers, the timing of the attack all felt too coordinated.Someone else was helping her and that meant this wasn't over. And with that, I turned to Evan. "Check if any known groups have been working with private clients recently." I said.Evan looks at me before nodding."Got it, sir."Then Andrew crossed his arms. "Do you think she had outside help?" he asked.I hum while thinking."She barely knows how to reset a router. Of course, she had help." I said.Then Evan frowned at the screen. "Okay, this is weird. Sir, the hacker group she hired? They don't usually take corporate sabotage jobs. They specialize in…" Then his eyes widened."What?" I asked."Sir, it's identity theft. Erasing past records."I felt my stomach drop."You don't think..."I exhaled. "Jannica didn't just want to attack us. She wanted to bury something."Then Andrew rubbed his temples. "What

I walk back inside with a phone gripped tightly in my hand. Henry was seated in the conference room. He was hunched over and his fingers are twitching. Robert and Andrew stood nearby and watching him like hawks. Soon, Evan noticed my expression. "Did you find something, sir?"I glanced at Henry. "Oh. I found plenty." I said.His head suddenly snapped up. "I... I don't know what you are talking about!"I didn't bother sitting down. Instead, I slid my phone across the table and the screen paused on the footage of him with Jannica."Then care to explain this?" I asked.Henry soon paled. "No! That is not what it looks like!!!"Andrew then scoffed. "It looks like you handing over something to a hooded figure and getting chewed out by Jannica.""Who is the person with her?" I asked again.Henry swallowed hard with his sweat beading on his forehead. "I... I don't know his name. I swear!"Evan crossed his arms. "Then tell us what you do know."Henry shifted uncomfortably. "Jannica cam

Jannica paced back and forth in her apartment and her mind is a whirlwind of emotions.Chandler was Harold Johanson's son.No matter how many times she repeated it in her head, it still feels not true at all. Then she thought back to their marriage. Of those years she spent belittling him, dismissing him and thinking he was beneath her. All that time, she had been married to a man who had a powerful legacy.A legacy he never shared with her.Jannica clenched her fists. Why hadn't he told her? Did he not trust her? Did he think she wasn't worthy of the truth?Then bitter laugh escaped her lips. Or maybe he had always planned to cut her out of his future.She couldn't let this go.She had already promised Hansel that she would bring Chandler down. And now it was personal. If Chandler wanted to play this game in the dark, then fine.She would drag everything into the light.Then she grabs her phone and dialed a familiar number. Her mother, Danica Zedd, answered almost immediately. (Jann

By noon, Chandler had everything he needed. The fake report wasn't just a sloppy work. It was outright illegal. Whoever had helped Jannica and Danica forge the numbers had left behind a digital footprint. And Chandler had already tracked it."Evan." he said while tossing a file onto the table. "Tell me what you see."Evan flipped through the pages until his brows are furrowing. "Wait a second... These numbers don't match. It's like they used a template but forgot to change some identifiers.""Exactly."Then Chandler's lips curved into a smirk. "They stole an old report from a bankrupt startupvthen altered a few details to make it look like Magnus Tech."Andrew let out a low whistle. "That's an amateur work. No way Hansel was behind this.""Because he wasn't his work. This was Danica and Jannica's work."Evan crossed his arms. "So what's our move, sir? Should we call them out? Sue them?"Chandler shook his head. "Not yet."They needed to make an example out of them. And for that,

Chandler sat in his office with the dim glow of his screen illuminating his face as he stared at the evidence before him.Mrs. Stewart.The woman who had fought for his legitimacy. The woman who had guided him through legal battles. The woman he had trusted.And yet, she was the mastermind behind Jannica and Danica’s schemes.Andrew, Evan, and Robert sat in tense silence as the weight of the discovery settled over them. Evan finally broke the quiet. "Are you sure about this, sir?"Chandler's takes a deep breathe before his jaw tightened. "I triple-checked. Every lead and every connection... It all ties back to her."Andrew frowned before leaning forward. "But why? She has no reason to back Jannica or Danica. If anything, she stood to gain from helping you."Robert adjusted his glasses. "Unless..."Chandler's voice was low and cold. "Unless she never actually planned to help me."For the next few days, Chandler played along. He continued working with Mrs. Stewart as if nothing had

I drove the car in silence and let the city lights to pass by in a blur. The weight of the situation pressed against my chest but I wasn't shaken at all. If anything, Mrs. Stewart's betrayal had only reinforced something I would always known. It is that loyalty was conditional.When I arrive at Mr. Harold's estate, I get out of the car before I adjust my coat. The guards at the gate gave me a nod before letting me inside without a word.Inside the estate, Mr. Harold was waiting in his study with a glass of whiskey in hand. He glanced up when I entered and his expression looks unreadable."Chandler." he greeted. "You should take a seat first."No one speaks for a moment. The crackling fireplace is filling the silence between us. Then, he exhaled and put his glass down. "So you finally uncovered the truth." he said."You knew?" I asked.His lips twitched into a tired smirk. "Not at first. But I had my suspicions." he said before meeting my gaze. "Lucy was always ambitious and calculat
The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 128
Mr. Harold stood by the window of his grand estate while watching as Chandler's car disappeared down the long driveway. His son who is also his heir was stepping deeper into the dangerous world of corporate warfare and Harold couldn't help but feel a sense of pride mixed with regret.Chandler had grown sharper and more calculating. Just like him. But that sharpness came with a price.Harold let out a sigh before swirling the remnants of his whiskey in his glass. Mrs. Stewart.It was almost poetic really. The woman who had once been his closest ally and his friend had now become his son's greatest enemy. It is such a tragic turn of fate.He moved to his desk before opening a drawer to retrieve an old photograph. It was worn at the edges but the faces in it were unmistakable. It was a photo of him and Lucy when they were still young.They had once been unstoppable. Harold remembered the first time he had met Lucy Stewart. It had been at a charity gala nearly three decades ago,m back wh

Evan worked fast. Within an hour, he compiled a list of employees who had been approached. Some were lower-level staff, but a few were key figures like our managers, engineers and even members of the legal team."They're being offered higher salaries, better benefits and promises of long-term security." Evan said before putting the report in front of me. "Whoever is funding this has deep pockets."Robert leaned back while rubbing his temples. "And since Mrs. Stewart is behind it, she knows exactly who to target."I scanned the list. Some of these names weren't just employees. They were people I had personally worked with and trusted."How many have accepted?" I asked.Evan hesitated. "Five so far."I clenched my jaw. Five might not seem like much but it was a crack in the foundation. A warning shot."Who's the biggest loss?"Robert pointed at a name. "Thomas Grayson. He was overseeing part of the cybersecurity division."I nodded slowly. "Then we remind everyone that loyalty pays.

For the next few hours, my team and I worked tirelessly and analyzing every possible angle of attack Hansel and Mrs. Stewart that we could exploit. Their attempt to flood our system with false security alerts had failed but it was only a matter of time before they tried something else.And then, it came. It was Andrew's voice that broke the tense silence. "Chandler, check the market reports. Something feels off."I immediately pulled up the latest financial data before my stomach twisted. A sudden wave of negative speculation was hitting the company. There are series of anonymous sources had leaked damaging reports about Magnus X and claiming that our encryption methods were flawed and that our firewall had been bypassed during testing."Where the hell is this coming from?" Evan muttered as he scanned the reports.Andrew clicked furiously on his keyboard."I'm tracing it now... Damn it. The original source is masked through multiple shell accounts."Robert's expression faltered. "Ha

My mind is racing while analyzing the situation. Mrs. Stewart was still in the game. That much was clear. And the problem? She was too smart to make an obvious move. If she was directly involved in trying to steal Magnus X then she had a deeper strategy in play."What now?" Andrew asked in a sharp voice.I exhaled slowly. "We will confirm it."Evan looked at me. "Sir... You mean we will verify the breach? But the data doesn't lie, sir.""No." I said. "But people do."I pulled up a secondary program, Shadow Line, which is designed to simulate a counter-hack. If Mrs. Stewart was behind this then I wanted her to think she was still in control. With a few click of my keyboard, I set a data loop. It is one that would feed back false information."And with this, she wilk think she is still winning." I murmured. "Meanwhile, we will track every step she makes."Andrew smirked. "I like this side of you."But Evan is still not convinced. "We are playing with fire, sir."Then I glanced at hi

I let my fingers to fly across the keyboard as I navigated Magnus X's backend security system. Whoever was attacking us wasn't some amateur hacker. They were professionals. Their assault came from multiple sources and each using advanced techniques to mask their origins.But I wasn't just defending our system.I activated Predator Trace. It is an advanced AI tool I secretly implemented in Magnus X. Andrew and Robert developed it in secret while we were facing Hansel before. While they tried to break through, the Predator Trace will follow the attack's digital footprints while working its way back through proxies and VPN layers.[Quest Progress: Tracing the Attack – 45% Complete]Then Andrew hovered over my shoulder. "Can you stop it?"I didn't look away from the screen. "Stopping them isn't enough. I need to know who is behind it."Robert, sitting across from me, tapped his phone. "Uhm... I've contacted our cybersecurity team but I don't think they will be able to help much. This a

I sat at my desk, while apping my fingers lightly on my wooden desk. But my thoughts restless. Something was wrong. It wasn't just paranoia. I had learned to trust my instincts. And right now, they were screaming at me.But why?Mrs. Stewart had been exposed. Jannica and Danica were desperate but powerless. Hansel had taken a hit in the public eye and my team was stronger than ever. But an unsettling weight sat in my chest. It's like a warning I couldn't quite decipher. Then A knock at my door snapped me out of my thoughts. Evan peeked inside. "Are you okay, sir? You look tense."I exhaled before rolling my shoulders. "Something feels off. I don't know what but I can feel it.""Maybe you are overthinking it, sir? We have been pounding them hard and they have not been able to respond properly. Maybe it's their turn to feel lost."I wanted to believe that. I really did. But my system was silent. Too silent to my liking. Normally, it would nudge me with subtle warnings and small notifi

Hansel Renver is swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His jaw clenched while he stares at the fireplace. The flames are now flickering in restless chaos and it is much like his own mind.He had finally done it. He had cut Jannica off.That useless woman had outlived her purpose. He had humored her long enough and let her believe she was valuable. But in the end, she had proven to be nothing but dead weight.She had failed to trap Chandler. She had failed to weaken him. And worst of all, she had underestimated him.Hansel took a slow sip of his whiskey and it burns down his throat but he ignores it. He had always known Chandler was ambitious. But this? This new version of Chandler? It was ruthless, untouchable and unpredictable. It was far more dangerous than the fool who used to stand beneath him.And now, Mrs. Stewart had been exposed too.He let out a quiet laugh. He feels amused despite the tension in his muscles. So even the old woman had her own schemes. It was entertaining i

Jannica stormed into her mother's house without bothering to knock. The sounds of her heels on the floor is too loud. The anger burning in her chest is making it difficult for her to breathe. Soon, she sees Danica while enjoying a glass of wine in the living room."Jannica?" Danica called before putting her glass down on the coffee table. "What is the meaning of this?"Jannica threw her phone onto the table. The screen of it still lit with the anonymous message she had received.'A piece of advice, Jannica. Teach your mother not to overestimate herself. She is playing a game she has no chance of winning.'Danica picked up the phone and starts reading the message carefully. Her expression changes. First it was confusion until a flicker of unease shows on her fsce. Then she schooled her features back into a practiced calm."I don't know what is this about." she said before putting the phone back down."Don't lie to me, mom!" Jannica snapped. "I know exactly who sent it."Danica raised a

I sat at the head of the conference table with my fingers interlocked as I observed my team. Evan, Andrew and Robert were all present and their faces serious as they waited for me to speak. The weight of Mrs. Stewart's betrayal still lingered in the room. "She's been a step ahead of us." I finally said. "But we are not out of options yet." Andrew adjusted his glasses. "We need to assume she has more moves planned. She's too smart to make only one play." "She invested in Magnus X." Robert added. "That means she still sees us as an asset. The question is, how far is she willing to go to take control?" I start considering their words. Mrs. Stewart had been methodical and staying close while setting traps in the background. If I had learned anything from my father, it was that a betrayal from an ally was far more dangerous than an attack from an enemy. "She's not reckless." I said. "If she's making a move against us and she believes she can win. That means she either has more levera

Jannica stepped into the grand entrance of the Zedd estate. Her face pale and her hands trembling. The moment she closed the door behind her, Danica's harp voice cut through the silence."Well?" Danica demanded while standing in the middle of the lavish living room and her arms are crossed. "What did he say?"Jannica swallowed hard and then she hesitates. Seeing this, Danica's eyes suddenly narrowed at her. "What are you doing there, Jannica? Did you do what I told you?"Jannica clenched her fists. "I did. I apologized. I told him I wanted to fix things."Danica's lips curled into a victorious smirk. "Good. And? When is he coming back?"Silence. Danica's expression stiffened all of a sudden. "Jannica?"Jannica bit her lip. Then she speaks that is barely above a whisper."He refused."Danica's smirk vanished. "What?"Jannica looked away. "He told me it is over and we have been over for a long time!"Everything goes quiet for a moment. And then...Slam!Danica's palm crashed onto
