The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge I Will Protect You
"Sir, are you sure you want to stay here?" asked Hazel as they walked down the hallway of the luxury apartment.Since getting out of the car, she hadn't stopped to pay attention to her surroundings in case any reporters spotted them. She was even one step ahead of Ethan, anticipating that someone would suddenly attack.This vigilant attitude of hers made Ethan's mixed feelings improve. He was so amused that he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "Hazel, you're just a girl. What do you think you can do to protect a man like me?"Hazel instantly turned her head, looking at Ethan with an earnest look. "Sir, you must not underestimate me. Although I am a woman and look feminine, I have learned some martial arts moves. Especially during these few years, I have been working in public by myself.""I know. I shouldn't have underestimated you," Ethan said, looking at Hazel proudly. "Thank you for your hard work over the years. Now I'm the CEO here, and it's my responsibility to protect
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Get it
A few hours passed, but Ethan was still waiting for news from Eamon's butler while enjoying a bottle of wine with a dazzling view of the city late at night through his apartment window.The man wearing only a bathrobe looked so calm, without any burden, as he sipped the red wine from his glass slowly.Just as he was about to pour more wine into his glass, the cell phone nearby lit up, revealing Eamon's name.He quickly picked it up to receive his call. "How is it?" he asked directly."Young Master, the Great Master allowed it but only two people. I have also made arrangements. What are your further orders?"Ethan smiled amusedly. The old man forced him to be tough but worried about him.The gangsters he had were the best. The people in it must be highly trained, let alone the hackers who worked behind the scenes. No one could beat them. But now the old man gave him two people. That was more than enough!"Please track the whereabouts of Mr. Leif and his wife. Last time, someone took aw
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge I Can Handle It
Ethan got out of the car and pulled on his jacket with a sharp gaze straight at the villa building in front of him. Then he shouted, "Split up and block all roads! Take out anyone who dares to resist!""Yes!" Dozens of bodyguards ran quickly to carry out their employer's orders.Two men already in front of the main door in unison forced it open wide.Ethan walked up the stairs and entered the villa, followed by five bodyguards, while on either side of the car were two more men guarding Hazel, who was inside."Search all the rooms; don't miss one!" he boomed.Suddenly, they immediately ran in different directions and checked each room carefully. The bathroom and even the cabinet and refrigerator were not spared from their search.Ethan looked at them and then slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.At the top, there were many rooms facing the hallway on the right. But Ethan just glanced at it and turned to the left hallway, paying attention to his surroundings and continuing h
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Rooftop Fight
"Shit!" Ethan cursed lowly and chose to stare back at the man in his arms, increasing his strength until he staggered out of breath and pushed him roughly to the side.Coincidentally, there was a pile of discarded tables and chairs, and he hit his head hard. The man was instantly unconscious.Ethan just looked at him flatly, then turned to stare at the dozens of people in front of him while rolling up his shirt sleeves. "It turns out that your preparations were much more thorough than I expected. I feel honored.""Stop talking nonsense! You've entered the boss's villa without permission, and now you've even injured our two friends. You deserve to be in hell. Attack!"The biggest man with a beard on his face raised his hand holding a whip and shouted loudly.Ethan looked at him fiercely. But the five people on the man's right side were already running forward, about to attack him with their weapons. Suddenly, he dodged and kept dodging to the side."If you're a man, show some fight!" s
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Successfully Saved
However, even though several seconds had passed, none of them were willing to answer. All of them were silent with fearful glances.Seeing that, Ethan smiled wryly. "They're your men, right? But why don't I see any cohesiveness in you guys?"The Leader growled angrily, but he could do nothing but obey since his safety was in the hands of that cruel man."If I tell them to leave, do you think they will really leave?" Ethan whispered while looking at the Leader with his mocking smile."Do you think they're like your subordinates who never come to rescue you?" Although with difficulty, the Leader still replied to Ethan's words sarcastically. "They are like that because you made threats using me. They care too much and don't want me to get hurt at the hands of a crazy loser like you.""Oh yeah?" Ethan chuckled softly and turned his gaze to the few men who were still standing there motionless. "Well then, how about we prove it? You wouldn't mind, right?""Don't expect you to touch them, da
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Always by his side
With the reported kidnapping of Mr. Leif and his wife and the arrest of a group of thugs as the culprits, the previously ignorant public is now buzzing about it.Although they felt sorry for the couple, they wondered more about this. About who the culprits were, their purpose, and who had helped find Mr. Leif.Comment after comment was exchanged, and most thought that the culprit was an enemy of Mr. Leif's company, as that kind of thing was common in the business world.The bodyguard that Hazel had ordered to the police station did his job well. Of course, without dragging the name of Mr. Celeste, let alone Mr. Ethan. The only witnesses were Mr. Leif and his wife.At first, the thugs were unhappy and were about to attack Ethan's bodyguard because they thought they had been cheated, but after hearing that Ethan would meet them after recovering, they just obeyed.But surprisingly, a few hours after the news of Mr. Leif's kidnapping was released, everything related to it suddenly disappe
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Like your father
"Alvina," Ariana called softly as she reached for Alvina's hand. "Lower your tone. He's our father, you can't yell at him like that. Besides, isn't it good that your achievements are public knowledge? Your name could become more famous. This is a good opportunity.""A good opportunity? Maybe it would be if it happened to you, but I'm different. I don't like this kind of thing at all. Sis, you know very well how I am. Since the beginning of the company, I would rather be recognised, not acknowledged," Alvina retorted, pulling her hand roughly."Isn't that the same thing? This way, people will know your greatness and acknowledge it. In a trivial matter like this that clearly doesn't harm you at all, you shouldn't be angry. Even if you don't want to say thank you, at least there's no need to blame Father," replied Ariana, who was still full of tenderness.Her figure like this made her aura as the eldest sister who would become the leader of the family look even more outstanding.There wa
The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge Sincere?
Ethan turned his gaze to Zinnia, who ran a little towards him. The girl wearing a pink floral dress with a large bow in her hair immediately hugged Ethan tightly while crying dramatically. "We've just been reunited after so long apart, but you're already leaving me for good. Do you hate me so much that you don't want to see me anymore?""As long as you want to stay, I'm willing to keep my distance from you and won't bother you. One meter, how about that? Is that enough? Come back, Ethan. Don't leave me. If you leave, then who will be my hero?"Hazel stared at Zinnia in shock while butler Eamon was already looking down with laughter.Ethan, uncomfortable with Zinnia's attitude, pushed her forcefully but without violence. "If you're crazy, go to a mental hospital, not bother me!"Instead of feeling angry at his words, Zinnia looked at him with brightly rounded eyes. Both her hands cupped Ethan's face for her to look at carefully. "Ethan? This is real, right? You're still alive?""Do you

"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

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 think I know it
"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

Rampage
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

One week
"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
