The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge This Is Our Time
"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. "Is it necessary to t
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Managing Divorce
In a luxurious mansion, at a long dining table, several people were sitting elegantly. The shiny gold-colored table was filled with various dishes with wine and mineral water. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.Tonight was the night of the Celeste family's regular once-a-month gathering.The clothes they wore looked branded. Even the women wore a lot of dazzling jewelry with different hairstyles. Their laughter sounded cheerful as conversation after conversation was exchanged, making the atmosphere even more lively.However, among them, there was one man who just kept his head down, enjoying his food quietly. He was Ethan Aldebaron, the husband of Ariana Julia, the first child and grandchild in Celeste's family.His figure, sitting at the end, made him look even smaller. Especially because his clothes were very different from the others. The look was more simple and cheap. However, his facial features could not hide his good looks and refinement."Grandmother, I just won a big
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Affair
The look on Grand Master Celeste's face was displeased that their departure had disrupted this routine meeting. But when thinking about Ariana's future, he could only nod and say, "Yes, it should be like that. There's nothing to hold on to anymore. We older generations should be guiding them toward happiness, not destruction. It's also for the sake of Celeste's family's survival.""Why does it sound like I've made a mess?" Ethan replied, still with his calm face."Ethan!" snapped Ariana.Her almond eyes blazed with dislike. "You're usually so quiet, like a mute, why are you being so rude now?"Instantly, Ethan's gaze fell on Ariana. He stared fixedly at his wife's beautiful face, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm starting to feel fed up?""Sassy!" Great Mistress Celeste pounded on the table, to everyone's surprise. Her old face trembled as her teeth chattered with anger. "Fed up? Are you saying you are fed up? You poor loser! How dare you
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Recorded Evidence
Ethan's reverie was broken, and he looked to the side, right at the cell entrance, where the Old Man was.The older man smiled broadly, thinking Ethan would be surprised and welcome him. Or at least ask about who he was. But it was unexpected. The man was indifferent, leaving him dumbfounded. "Hey, what the hell is that reaction of yours?""You really don't care about my presence?" The Old Man spoke again when he saw Ethan, who still did not respond. "Insubordinate grandson! You don't want to be free, huh? Do you want to stay locked up in this cursed room?"Ethan's eyes widened when he heard the word 'grandson' come out of the Old Man.He slowly turned his head and asked in surprise. "Grandson? Who are you referring to?"The Old Man grunted and then stepped closer to the cell. "Of course you are. Who else is in this room but you?""But I'm not your grandson. You must be mistaken," Ethan said."How can you say that with confidence?" The Old Man glared fiercely as he banged his cane, ma
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Alvina?
"Dad, I-""Are you having an affair?" Alvina's hands clenched into fists as she asked this—a question with an obvious answer.In the next second, she burst into tears. She wailed as she screamed, "No way! My fiancé loves me very much. He wouldn't disappoint me by playing with fire behind my back!""Sis, it must be you, right? You must be flirting with him!" Alvina turned around and attacked Ariana, knocking her to the side. She pulled at her hair with a cry that grew louder and louder. "My fiancé wouldn't have acted like that if you hadn't started it first! You're poison! You're a temptress!""Father, Mother, help! Alvina, don't act crazy! I'm your sister! Let me go! Let me explain everything!" Ariana tried to push Alvina away, but the girl's energy was so strong that the more she pushed, the stronger the pull on her hair became. "It hurts! Help! Mom, I can't stand it!"Mrs. Celeste gaped in dismay. She rushed over and tried to pull Alvina away. However, instead of succeeding, she cra

Then Ethan looked back at Grand Master Kinsey with an incredulous face. "Old man, so you don't trust me? Since yesterday, you've been talking about how much you care about me, but now you're acting as if I'm your new employee. How ridiculous!""I'm not doing this because I don't trust you. Ethan, you don't fully know about the intricacies of our family. I'm just anticipating that if one day you're faced with a lot of choices, you'll never have a dilemma. I just want to confirm your choice," explained Mr. Kinsey with great seriousness.Ethan slowly pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. Then he reached for a pen and placed his signature on the paper."You don't have to worry. My decision to follow you is absolute, no matter how long it takes. No one can interfere with it, let alone shake it," he said as he gently pushed the folder away."I'm a person who knows how to return favors, so I won't abandon you as long as you give me the strength to take revenge," he continued.His word
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Divorce
Suddenly, Ethan turned his head. He smiled slightly, making Ariana want to take another step, but Ethan's words made her freeze. "This is the first time you've called my name without emotion. Please don't put on that expression. You're making people misunderstand. They must think that you regret divorcing me.""I'm not filing for divorce. We're still husband and wife," Ariana said with a dim look in her eyes. "So, let's talk things through.""Oh yeah?" Ethan's tone sounded like he was mocking. "I'm afraid I won't.""Shit! Dad, why did you let him come back to our house? It's good that he left! Our house won't be stained anymore by losers like him! Look at his smug face! So disgusting!" Aiden, silent with his wife, cried out in disgust.Seeing Ethan made him think of the poop he'd thrown away but accidentally stepped on, making it stick to his precious shoes.However, no one paid any attention to Aiden's words.Even Mr. Celeste suddenly changed his expression and said falsely. "Ethan,
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Revenge Begins!
Two days later.The atmosphere in front of the court was bustling with news-hungry journalists. I don't know how they found out about this divorce, but it did manage to upset Celeste's family because it managed to attract one of the television stations and was aired live.To them, this was very inappropriate. Very embarrassing.However, the smoothness of the divorce proceedings made Mr. and Mrs. Celeste, who were on site, quickly brush off the annoyance. At least now, a fool like Ethan was no longer part of the family.As soon as the court doors opened, they stepped out with beaming faces."In the end, you're still eliminated. Ethan, what do you think? Don't you regret not getting a penny from me?" Ethan, who had just gotten up and was about to walk away, fell silent as soon as he heard Ariana's words spoken in a dismissive tone.Ariana also stood up, staring at Ethan's back with an arrogant smile. "Being able to marry me is an amazing thing. But you probably still don't believe it b

Invitation
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

Had to persuade him
"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

Don't Want to Meet
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
