The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Marry me!
In the vastness of the dark sky, the stars and moon shine brightly. Making it an amazing sight that is always awaited and longed for by every human being. As if to tell you that in this world, there is no such thing as loneliness.Everyone is in the same circle and will definitely get the same thing, too. Just waiting to open the knot shackling the heart and misleading the mind.In the middle of the crowded street, Ethan rode his motorcycle at a low speed.He was trying to blend in with nature, enjoying the serene atmosphere he had just experienced for the first time.Looking at the dozens of vehicles that passed by endlessly, as if they knew no time, coupled with the street lights that illuminated them, made Ethan feel a sense of freedom.All the hatred and resentment accumulated in his chest for a moment unraveled until it became empty. There was no other thought but to continue traveling and no feeling but calmness. Everything felt good.After riding for a long time for no apparent

"After living abroad for so long, it seems like your brain has changed. I think you should go get yourself checked out," Ethan finally said.Not wanting to experience anything more unexpected, he continued his pace quickly and got on his motorcycle. However, just as he was about to put on his helmet, a disparaging laugh sounded from behind."Hahaha, good drama. What do you guys think?""I think it's better than the dramas on television. A girl goes after an ex-husband who her ex-friend dumped. Isn't that an amazing title?""Hahaha!""How about two losers getting together?""That sounds even more interesting. I'm sure there will be a lot of people interested in watching it. Hahaha!""Really? I think everyone will laugh at them until they're sick."Ethan slowly lowered his helmet again and looked down.Zinnia originally wanted to ignore her three former friends, but when she saw Ethan, who was silent like that, she felt annoyed. She immediately stepped forward and spoke loudly. "Only cr

And just as Hazel had said earlier, Ethan was now standing in front of the five-star hotel where the introduction party was being held.He was accompanied by Hazel, as usual. But this time, there were three bodyguards behind them."I don't know why I feel awkward just for coming here at this hour. I have an important meeting. But... never mind, let's go in! The sooner you come, the sooner the event will be over." Ethan stepped inside with his wide strides.His face, which usually looked calm with a charming smile, now looked tense.Apart from meeting people who contributed greatly to the company, this was the second time he had come to the hotel. It was also the first time something unpleasant happened."Sir, over here." Hazel pointed to the room on the left as they reached the branching hallway.Ethan followed her directions without speaking. But when he reached the double doors, he stopped. His gaze went straight to the object. "I have to get through this and get recognized by them,
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Article Attack
"Why are you still missing? Didn't I say to keep a close eye on the published articles and then immediately delete them before anyone sees them?" Ethan walked hurriedly out of the hotel and entered the car with wide-open doors.Hazel took a small jog around the car, and once inside, she said, "The article that was just published didn't have the company hashtag, so our team accidentally missed it. It seems like the person who published this knew about your order beforehand.""Investigate who gave the photo to the journalist!" ordered Ethan, massaging his throbbing forehead. "And don't forget to erase all traces of the photo!""Yes." Then Hazel struggled with her phone and tablet.In the background, Ethan let out several long sighs. None of this would have happened if not for his carelessness. Once again, he regretted his actions last night.For the person who spread it... suddenly, Ethan opened his eyes. Yesterday, he met Ariana's friends. Did they do it?He immediately shook his head

Ethan's car continued to drive through the streets to the city's outskirts.After traveling for almost 2 hours, the four-wheeled vehicle stopped in front of an abandoned building. Ethan got out and looked around the building, filled with grass and moss. The towering gate looked rusty, as did the name plaque that had almost fallen off.Prosperous Orphanage.Ethan sighed softly and slowly entered the courtyard carefully. His eyes kept looking around, trying to get an idea of when the building was still in operation."Even if it's abandoned, it still looks beautiful," Ethan muttered. "A building that could really be them."Ethan's steps stopped at the swing. He held the rusted metal, and when he saw no signs of fragility, he sat on it. His smile was genuine as if he had found the place he had been longing for."Maybe if I had grown up here, things would have been different," Ethan murmured and then slowly began to move the swing, creating a screeching sound from being idle for too long.H

As Ethan had expected, Celeste's main house was busy. Three different cars arrived one after another. Mr. Celeste and his family walked in hurriedly. Their faces did not look good. Even Mr. Celeste's steps looked more firm with both hands clenched tightly, showing how emotional he was at the moment.After reaching the living room, they sat down obediently.Great Master Celeste, sitting alone with Great Mistress Celeste on the far sofa, looked straight ahead with a sharp look in their eyes."You said you would settle everything quietly, but what is this? You're putting our family on the line!" shouted Great Master Celeste angrily.Everyone instantly looked down in fear.Grand Master Celeste's breathing was ragged. He hit the sofa handle and continued, "Just a loser with no background, but why can't you? Look, you're so proud of yourselves. You are saying that he's just useless trash. Now, I guess you're the trash! Useless!""Grandpa!" exclaimed Ariana, who couldn't take it anymore. "I

"Butler, can you escort me to the monitor room?" Ethan stood on the last step of the stairs, staring at the butler, who had his back to him, busy giving instructions to the servants to finish their work.Suddenly, the thin man wearing a special black uniform turned his head.As soon as he knew that it was Ethan calling him, he immediately approached and bowed briefly. "Do you need anything, Young Master?""Can you escort me to the monitor room? I just realized that since coming here, I wasn't informed of its location," Ethan replied seriously."Perhaps the Great Master forgot about it," the butler replied with a simple smile."If you want to go there, I can take you there. Please follow me, Young Master!" Then, the butler tilted his body with one outstretched hand. When Ethan nodded, he then walked towards the interior of the mansion."I've been here for two months, you can take it easy. It would be nice if I had a friend here," Ethan said, breaking the silence between them."It's an
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Another Attack?
"Why are there only them?" Ethan stared at the monitor intently, then switched to another monitor. "Is there still a room that hasn't appeared yet?""Just a moment, Young Master." The officer returned to his keyboard, and soon, a recording image appeared on the far monitor. "Everything is complete."Ethan stared at the monitors individually and stopped at the far end. "They have their own business," he muttered with a lopsided smile.In Great Mistress Celeste's den, Madame Bernita looked at her mother-in-law with teary eyes. "All my life, I have always been devoted to you and considered you as my mother. But why do you have the heart to treat me like this?""Hah! Since you think of me as a mother, I will teach you properly. One blow is not enough to make you realize what you have done!" shouted Great Mistress Celeste, who raised her hand to give Madam Bernita a second slap, making the woman spontaneously dodge and fall, holding Great Mistress Celeste's left hand."I know I was wrong.

"Yes, sir."Hazel and Elio's awkward exchanges instantly became serious."Mr. Ethan wants to talk," Elio said after connecting with his partner in the back car."We're ready to carry out orders!" They unitedly said firmly."Look behind you! Make sure if that car is following us or not!" Ethan ordered directly.The atmosphere became silent as they looked back. Hazel even narrowed her eyes as she looked at the rearview mirror, trying to focus. But instantly, her eyes widened in surprise."Sir, isn't that Miss Celeste's car?""Connect with the car in front!" Instead of answering, Ethan gave Elio another instruction, which he immediately carried out."Speed up the pace!" he ordered directly.The two people in the front car looked at each other, confused. While doing so, the man next to him checked something on his tablet and then whispered, "Someone is following us behind."Suddenly, the man driving turned his head in surprise for a moment before focusing on driving.

The news of Pulse Apparel unilaterally terminating the partnership and even blocking Celeste's branch company instantly became a trending topic on social media.Since then, other companies have withdrawn one by one, making the downturn in Celeste's company very sharp.Reporters were busy looking for more information. Some of them who managed to get a brief interview even made it clear that they did not want to interfere in such matters. And because of that, they also switched to Zenith Corp, making the share price rise sharply.Netizens have noticed this discrepancy, and the situation is heating up.They clearly know how fierce the competition is right now. If they couldn't break free, then the entire Celeste family would fall to the ground.The online conversation continued, discussing how the Celeste Family had been behaving, especially Ethan and Ariana's marriage. Of course, the affair and some of the plans hatched by the father-daughter duo were the main topics.Some regretted the

"We can't just sit around waiting for the trial! Father, we must do everything possible to get my husband out! Our family is very powerful and has many great people. There's no way there's no way to turn this case around!" Mrs. Bernita, who was only wearing her nightgown with her hair tousled and her face without make-up, shouted excitedly in front of everyone who was discussing in the living room. "If you can't defend yourself, just say you were framed! Or maybe we'll just find a scapegoat! I believe that my husband couldn't have done that. Even if he did, that bastard Ethan provoked him!"Great Mistress Celeste closed her eyes to hold back her emotions at the sight of her current appearance."Ethan's evidence is so strong that it's hard to deny. Even the lawyer said it might be difficult to reverse the situation," Great Master Celeste said."Then just tell me about the previous matter!" Mrs. Bernita replied quickly. "He beat Lucas and didn't give Ariana a living. He's also planning

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Ariana turned her face away, reluctant to look at Ethan who looked intimidating."When you treated me badly and made me the family driver, I accepted it without protest. Every time you spoke, you insulted me and cornered me. I kept quiet and always obeyed whatever orders you gave me. No matter how hard it was for me to carry them out."Ethan pulled Ariana's face back to look at him. "I might have been able to ignore all those things, but, after all I did, why did you betray me?"Ariana snorted sarcastically and her gaze was filled with contempt. "You're just a substitute groom and we don't love each other, so why are you acting like you love me so much?""Love and betrayal are two different things. Wouldn't you betray me if I loved you?" Ethan asked back."Don't dream!" snapped Ariana who then chuckled softly. "You don't deserve to be my best man, even if you become the CEO of Zenith Corp. To me, you're still a poor loser!""So, that's w

Hazel looked at Ethan who was also staring at her expressionlessly. She put her phone away and said, "Miss Celeste would like to see you.""Let it go," Ethan replied briefly.Hazel nodded in understanding and went back to talking on her cell phone. "Mr. Ethan is in his office."After that, the call was unilaterally disconnected by Ariana. Hazel's expression looked annoyed, but a second later it returned to normal.Without changing his reclined seating position, Ethan said firmly. "Postpone all my schedules for the time being and you help me to guard this room. Don't let anyone interrupt, no matter how important the business is!""Yes." With that Hazel stepped out and stood in front of the room.Not long after that Ariana arrived along with Jade. The woman wearing her work clothes seemed to be in such a hurry that she didn't care about Hazel's presence and immediately entered Ethan's room.Jade was about to come in, but Hazel immediately held her back and pulled her away. Of course, sh

Facing back-to-back questions with demanding expressions like this clearly terrified Ariana.She had never faced anything like this before, especially when other reporters joined in with more pressing questions."Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Please don't discuss things that shouldn't be. I'm here to ask for your support for the slander that attacked my father," said Ariana, trying to calm down.But the people only intensified and were now even standing with their eyes wide with curiosity."Miss Ariana, how can you call it something it's not? This is your problem, and you can't run away from it.""Do you perhaps want to deny it?""Please give an explanation regarding the circulating video. Ms. Ariana, is that true? You had an affair but filed for divorce first?""Miss Ariana, do you really not know anything about Mr. Ethan's identity, who turned out to be the CEO of Zenith Corp? Is that also why you had an affair and divorced him because you thought he was poor?""Now

Gossip
Just out of the meeting room and about to head to his room, Ethan was confronted with the sight of his employees busy talking about something while looking at their cell phones.His steps slowed down, and he watched them intently. They didn't even notice his presence and continued to gossip. But even so, their voices were so low that he couldn't hear anything.Suddenly, Ethan's expression became grim.Hazel, who realized that, rushed over to the group of employees and said loudly. "Did you guys come to the company just to gossip? It seems like you have too little work to have so much time for unimportant things like this!"Everyone was startled and turned their heads quickly. Instantly, they were wide-eyed at the sight of their expressionless boss.Fear began to fill everyone's hearts, and they looked down deeply, not daring to open their voices at all."If you don't want this job anymore, you should hand in your resignation letter," Hazel continued firmly. "That way, you can gossip a

"Mr. Leif, thank you for dinner and the chess game. I really enjoyed it," said Ethan who was near his car, facing Mr. Leif.Mr. Leif's wife wasn't allowed out because it was late, so she was afraid of the wind. Meanwhile, Hazel was already in the car after saying goodbye."I'm glad to hear that. I hope Mr. Ethan will still be willing to come to my house and do what we did earlier," said Mr. Leif who was still overwhelmed with happiness. "My wife loves a crowd and this is the first time we've had guests. You can see for yourself, that she is very enthusiastic about your presence.""Then I will often ask Hazel to accompany Madame." Ethan smiled slightly.He knew very well what Mr. Leif's wife was feeling. The difference was that she had a husband who loved her so much that her life in this big house was not so lonely."Thank you. I look forward to seeing her." The gleam in Mr. Leif's eyes grew brighter.But a moment later it turned serious with an expression that looked strained. "Mr. E

Trust him
During the series of tests, Ethan was really paying close attention. Not because he wanted to choose a personal bodyguard more carefully, but because he felt a new spirit when he saw those who were so serious about the competition.Basically, the 20 men selected were the best in every aspect, so the tests were fierce.During the archery test, there were only three people who scored six and were eliminated right away.For now, the second test was to run through some obstacles."Is this all prepared by him?" asked Ethan as he looked at some media that was transported to the courtyard and placed where it should be."Yes, sir. The Chairman wants personal bodyguards who are tough and can deal with any situation. He doesn't want to be missed and end up with a loss," Hazel replied.Ethan nodded in understanding and looked at the participants who began to undergo the second test.However, his body immediately stiffened when he saw that it was Elio. The man passed all his hurdles with ease and
