The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 64
Just like what we planned, Evan drives me to the address that Mr. Harold had sent us earlier. When I get off the car, I first look around and sees the building where we are going to meet. It looks normal and quite old too. It is tall, gray, and almost practical and there is no grand signs or logos oncit to give away its purpose to the passerby.Evan leaves me for a second so he can find a good parking spot for the car. While waiting, I can see Mr. Harold is now standing near the entrance. And there is also someone standing next to him.I squint my eyes to have a clearer view on that person's face. It is an old woman. But based on her clothes, she doesn't look like an ordinary woman that you can see on regular days. That person looks refined and poised.I also noticed that her silver gray hair is neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head. Although she obviously looks older than Mr. Harold by a few years, she still have a pair of sharp eyes that holds an intelligence as if she can

Mrs. Stewart who is still composed in her seat is watching our exchange with a quiet but observant expression. Soon, she gives me a knowing look and speaks carefully."If you are thinking how to do that, I can handle the legal proof of your relationship with Mr. Harold." Mrs. Stewart smoothly said while her fingers are lightly tapping against the surface of her desk. "If you decide to accept this proposition, then I can make it sure that everything is airtight."When I did not speak, she smoothly continues."Documents, birth records, even a DNA test if necessary... Name it. I can prepare all of it." she confidently said. "And with that, no one will be able to question the legitimacy of your claim."I close my eyes and exhale slowly. I can feel Mr. Harold's eyes on me too. Once again, I lean back in my chair and starts massaging my temple."I will not deny that it's an interesting proposition." I admitted. "But don't you think it is also a plan that comes with significant risks?"When

Chandler Logan's POV: The office is dimly lit with the huge fluorescent lights hanging on the ceiling as I enter the security office at New Leaf Corporation. I come here and expecting a normal meeting with Julius Mannell, my manager and discuss my monthly performance. I am also hoping for a promotion since I know to myself that I did a good performance on the last project that I handled. But as I get inside the room, I quuckly feel a tense atmosphere around me. Julius is lounging in his chair while his feet are propped up on the desk. His fingers are flicking the end of his cigar and letting the smoke curls up toward the ceiling. He doesn't bother to look at me as I stand in the doorway. The air around us is almost suffocating. Even without saying anything yet, I can already sense that something is wrong. “Mr. Julius, I heard you wanted to see me?” I said after clearing my throat. Julius looks up and meets my gaze with disdain and amusement in his eyes. “Chandler Logan” he s

I goes straight to the hotel with a pounding heart in my chest. Every step I take feels heavy. I can also feel the confusion, anger, and fear crawling on my chest as if something had already been decided without my knowledge. When Danica gave me the room number over the phone, her tone was full of finality and felt like a slap to my face. When I finally reaches the door and pushes it open, a surreal sight welcomes me in an instant. The room is too luxurious that I can only afford in my dreams. There's a lot of huge furniture everywhere, expensive paintings on the walls, and thick carpets covering the floor. It is a huge contrast to the frugal life I've been living until now. Jannica is sitting on the plush sofa with her mother beside her. They are quietly sipping tea and completely at ease, as if they didn't just invited me here to watch the end of my marriage and my career. My eyes flickers to Jannica first, and then to Danica, who gives me a resentful glare that makes my blood

There is now a hologram is blinking in front of before me. Its faint blue light is casting a gentle glow inside the whole room. For a moment, it feels like I slips into a strange dream similar to a virtual game. I can feel my heart beating so fast in my chest. My palm is also starting to sweat. As I continue staring at the hologram, I can feel my body trembling in mixed confusion, amazement and fear. Soon, I can hear a mechanical voice in my mind. Its words is waking me up from my trance. I blink my eyes rapidly and reads the words written on it. [Wealthy System Activated.] I shake my head and squints my eyes on the words in front of me again. What is going on right now? These things doesn’t make sense at all. I shake my head again and try to force myself to focus. The words 'Character Profile' on the holographic screen flashes for a moment before coming into sharp focus again. My name, Chandler Logan, is displayed first, follows by something that causes my stomach to churn.

The elevator ride down from the hotel room feels like the longest journey of my life. I feel the weight of my decision sinkingdeeper in my mind in every floor I pass. But it also feels liberating in a strange way. The cold steel walls of the elevator feels strangely comforting. No one is offering their judgment and expectations here. All I hear is the hum of the elevator and the quick beating of my heart. Closing my eyes, I exhale slowly and tries to calm my the thoughts running inside my head. "Family Legacy, huh..." I mutter under my breath. Until now, I am still trying to process the strange system that showed up in front of me. The blue light from the holographic screen, the words flashing on it, the wealth and power it promised... It feels like something you can only see in your dreams. But this is not a dream. I have lost track of how many times I shake my head and pinch myself to make sure that I am not dreaming. Not to mention that the loud heartbeat in my chest tells m

I can't tell if it is the brisk air of the chilly evening or the sheer exhaustion I felt from from emotional disaster that happened to me today. But for once, it seems like all of my emotional baggage disappears as I focus my gaze ahead. The countdown on my holographic display in my peripheral vision is ticking steadily. The panic that I always feel is now replaced with determination to prove everyone wrong. I've been complacent for too long. I let the expectations of others drag me down. Manuel and his judgmental sneers, Jannica’s endless nagging and disappointments, her family’s mockeries and other people's harsh judgment as they keep sizing me up like I am a failure since birth. But I want to change all of it now. I stop walking for a moment and stares at the holographic display in front of me. Without my knowledge, the countdown has reached two minutes. My pulse quickens as I think of the possibilities that will happen after this. As I wait for the countdown to finish, sever

Ugh...I can't help but groan while stretching my legs on the sofa. I just arrived in my house after attending that meeting. And right now, I am still thinking about the things that happened and I heard in the meeting earlier.This is really Hansel Renver's fault. If not because of him, I should be having a relaxing afternoon right now. He is really one of the biggest bane of an existence in my life.That smug bastard is always so confident, controlled, and insufferably charming to those too blind to see his rotting attitude behind his mask. Or maybe they already know it but still keeping a blind eye since they need his connection?Do I sound jealous? Well, a little bit. I will not deny that. I know to myself that I also want theckind of charisma that attracts everyone's attention wherever you go.But I am not that jealous to involved myself in any petty competition. I already have my own path in life and I believe that it will lead me to success. Anyway, Hansel Renver is still a bast

I am so deep in my thoughts that I did not realize that Hansel Renver is talking to me again."So..." Hansel started conversationally while leaning his back on his chair and crossing his legs. "You just arrived in time.""Oh?" I replied and pretending to be interested with him. "But why? Is there any occassion?""No. But I was just telling some of us here about my weekend."I suddenly scoff to myself. Of course, a narcissistic person will just talk about himself. I bet those people are just willing to listen to him because he is obviously the most powerful inside this room."You see, this is about my girlfriend." Hansel said. "And bless her because she has a way of making our moments unforgettable."I keep my face neutral although his words are crawling inside my head. "Girlfriend?" I asked."Yes." Hansel replied while his eyes are looking at me that is almost mischievous. "She is... Well, what can I say? My girlfriend is really something else. She is always doting on me. A bit cling

At six o'clock in the morning, I find myself preparing for my meeting at New Leaf Corporation since I received an email saying we have something to discuss. Although is it not something major, we still need to gather and talk about it so it will not become a trouble for us later. And as a responsible shareholder, of course I will attend it.While preparing, I finally give myself some time to check my system again. It's been a while I checked the statuses listed in it since I am too focused with the development of Magnus X. I only have a few minutes to open it so the system can do a run check on our app to make sure it will not fail. And besides, I also noticed that the system is not giving me any tasks lately. It's not like I am complaining about that. It's just become a bit disturbing for me since the system used to be like a non-stop program that keeps showing me things that can also affect the outcome of a certain scenario.While brushing my teeth, I first check my profile status.

As we all finished our meals and exit Le Palais, the cold night air quickly greets us with a refreshing chill. The excitement of our evening is still hanging in the air. It is intoxicating mix of satisfaction and camaraderie for all of us. Soon, we step onto the marble steps that is leading us away from the restaurant. We are still laughing and teasing Robert about how he tried to use the wrong fork for his dessert and use a spoon in panic to open the additional bottle of wine I ordered."O-Oh come on... I-It's not like I was intentionally doing it." Robert protested while his cheeks is already flushing red.But Andrew is still having fun and even imitating his confused expression earlier inside the restaurant."I'm telling you, bro. You have to search online about the etiquette for a place like this!" Andrew laughed while slapping Robert on the back."H-Huh? But why?" Robert asked."Why? Because we are going to return here next time!""What?! But this place is expensive!""And?""W-

The next night, we arrived at Le Palais that is located at the very center of this city. It is a fine dining restaurant that screams luxury for its grandiose entrance that is full of marble floors with real pearls in it. Tonight, we will have a dinner here and experience to dine in an expensive place like this.When I glance over my shoulder, I can see Robert, Andrew, and Evan are all following me. I almost laugh seeing how they follow me like a mother hen because they are all walking and following me in line. Except for Evan, they look like fish out of water seeing how they turn their heads around and look at the extravagance in front of them. Soon, Andrew tugs at the collar of his button-up shirt while trying not to look nervous. "What is this place, man?" Andrew asked. "Is this a palace?""W-Well... It practically is." Robert muttered while his eyes are darting around nervously. "A-Are you sure we belong here? I-Is this really the right place?!""Relax, kids." I teasingly said wh
Chapter 58
Hansel Renver leans his shoulder against the window of the restaurant. His sharp eyes are following Chandler Logan and Mr. Harold as they exited together. The fake smile he had worn throughout their conversation has finally disappeared but it leaves behind a mask of cold calculation. Then his gaze hardens and there's a flicker of curiosity in his eyes and it is laced with hostility that also flashes in his expression."They are obviously hiding something." Hansel murmured to himself. His words are barely audible and feel his jaw tightening.After straightening his posture, Hansel turns on his heel and walks briskly back to his table. Then he pulls his phone from his pocket. He dials a number without showing any hesitation. His voice is clipped when his secretary answers the call after one ring."Mister Ford, I need you to investigate something for me." Hansel said.(Alright, sir. May I know what is it?)"I want you to look into Chandler Logan's profile again. And dig deeper this time.
