The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 122
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

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

The night was quiet but Chandler's mind was a battlefield. He stood in his office and the glow of his computer screen illuminating his sharp features. His system flickered in the corner of his vision and displaying all the elements of his next move.It was time to act.Mrs. Stewart had made her move when she start aligning herself with Jannica and Danica. She manipulated them into believing they had the upper hand. She thought she could outmaneuver him.She was wrong. Because Chandler had never stopped preparing.His fingers danced over the keyboard while accessing the files he had carefully compiled over the past few weeks. Every transaction, every communication and every hidden investment Mrs. Stewart had made outside of their virtual vicinity.She had been careful. But not careful enough.With a few searching, Chandler triggered a silent notification to a select group of investors. It is ones who had loyalty not to Stewart but to profit. They are investors who wouldn't hesitate to

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
