The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 53: Elliot Forcados The Traitor
"it's a small thing, not worth mentioning," James looked straight ahead on the road, his hands on the steering wheel. "Moreover, Henry Meyer didn't bother to mention the incident, and I have no intention of reminding him. In my case...""In my case, my parents would not believe you even if you tell the truth," Ava finished his sentence. She knew her husband like the back of her hand.James smiled and did not reply, he continued to drive in silence.On the other hand, Ava regretted what she said and lowered her head. Even though James was unhappy in the past, he seemed to have changed recently.More importantly, Ava knew better than anyone that she would not be able to hold on to her general manager position at the branch office if it was not for James. He was always supportive and humble."I owe you so much, James," she put her hand on top of his and said softly."Don't worry about it," he shook his head without care.___The next day___James started preparation for moving into the ne
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 54: The Appraisal
"Isn't it just an antique collection?" James asked indifferently. "No big deal.""You're such a country bumpkin," Patrick Moore sneered. "Boastful and impatient. Are you for real? Unbelievable!" He shook his head in resignation."So you are the legendary loser son-in-law from the Bailey family, huh?" A young man stood up and said sarcastically. I bet you are an expert for living off your wife, I would like you to teach me, the man laughed. But don't fool yourself by pretending to be an expert on antiques and appraisals.""Well said," another man in red sunglasses agreed. Stop talking nonsense in front of Mr. Zinolesky, for crying out loud. Your wife's reputation would go down the drain as well. You may end up without a provider," he scoffed."A loser like you with no money or status to speak has the nerve to talk about an antique appraisal. Get lost!" Another man spat at James.Before long, everyone started hurling rude remarks and disdainful comments at James Miller."Yes, I'm pennil
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 55: The Appraisal 2
"This Jade bangle should be an antique from the silk road. It was a gift from China to a Roman emperor. They originally came in a pair but one was accidentally broken by the treasure hunters who dug it up from some ruins. The only one left found its way onto the antique market and passed through quite a few hands before ending up here." "If I didn't recall wrongly, when the media mogul of HonorGrave, Benson weather's daughter got married last month, she wore this very Jade bangle." Henry said, "Mr. Zinolesky, may I remind you that Benson's weather daughter is Mr. Davis Grey's goddaughter. Do you think a leading authority on antiques like Mr. Davis Grey will give a fake jade bangle to his goddaughter as a wedding gift?" "As for this inkwell here," eyeing it disdainfully, James scoffed, "it's not exactly an antique, but neither is it fake. Someone had gone through a lot of trouble to patch up and repaint an old, almost completely broken inkwell. "The handiwork is not bad though. Mos
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 56: The Secrets
"Mr. Zinolesky, "What's the hurry?" James asked with a smile. Let's wait till Mr. Xavier comes before we decide on the authenticity of the items." "Mr. Xavier?" Kent snickered. "Who do you think you are? Why would Mr. Xavier come just for you?" "He wouldn't come because I asked, of course," admitted James. "However, did you know that Mr. Xavier is the chief appraiser of Life Long Collectible group?" "Elliot Forcados," James spoke to a man who had been standing quietly in a corner. "You're a traitor through and through indeed. Not only did you give away the Life Long group's auction reserve price, you even leaked the name list of all their appraiser." Henry only found out that all the Life Long group's appraisers had disappeared when he was on the way to the Full Moon Pavilion. As a last resort, left without any other choice, he called James. "Elliot, Elliot, you know that these appraisers are very important to the company. If anything happens to them, be it just a tiny scratch,
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 57: The Amphora
"At best, we are on a tie now," sneered Jenny. She was defiant and not convinced. She added, "You can only take the antique shop for Life Long Group if you win us.""James you look scared. I guess you can't afford loose, huh?"How could that be? It just so happens that Mr. Xavier is here too. He can act as our witness," replied James, putting a faint smile on his face.Despite that Xavier was the chief appraiser of Life Long Collectible, he was very trustworthy and reliable since he was the leading authority in the antique market of HonorGrave."Sure, I'm okay with it," said Kent while blinking his eyes. At that, he thought to himself, "Well, I guess Xavier would not have the nerve to favour Life Long Group in front of so many witnesses here!""Go to the stupid study and bring me the amphora," said Kent while waving his hands at the man."Yes, Kent," the man replied. Soon Kent men brought out the amphora and displayed it to everyone.It was obvious that Kent was trying to show off. "T
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 58: Is Kent's Amphora A Fake
James lifted his head slightly, and his gaze shifted to the amphora on the redwood table. A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he spoke."It's a fake!""A fake?" Hearing what he said Kent's heart sank. But soon enough, he flashed James a disdainful smile."What are you talking about, James Miller?" Benson bellowed in laughter. "Gosh, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year. A loser like you, who has never dealt with antiques, dare say that Kent amphora is a fake!""Then he added, "What gave you the courage and confidence to say something so wrong out loud?"Soon, everyone else chimed in to ridicule James as well."Right?" How could someone spew bullshit so confidently and dauntlessly? Kent is a famous collector. He practically grew up studying antiquities collected by his family.""He's an idiot who pretends to know it all, thinking that others are foolish enough to be tricked."Jenny pressed her lips together and smiled, saying, "The zinolesky family has been involved in the

Xavier picked up a piece of the broken amphora and felt it between his fingers. "James is right. This Amphora is a counterfeit said, Xavier.Kent's hands froze in mid-air when he heard Xavier. Kent turned to look at Xavier in shock."What did just say?" Asked Kent."How can this be a counterfeit?" Questioned Kent agitatedly.The room went quiet. The turn of events has left everybody in shock."Take a look at this," Xavier said as he pointed to the grooves inside of the amphora. "If the amphora is indeed from thousands of years ago, the grooves would not be so distinct and perfect," explained Xavier."With just a look, anyone can tell that this is just an imitation made by modern craft," Xavier added."What... This is impossible!" Kent snatched a piece of the broken amphora from Xavier and continued in disbelief, "My team of experts and I, had verified that it was genuine when I got this years ago."I'm ashamed," Xavier said as he shook his head and turned to look at James with much ad
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 60: Followed Ava
"Oh, it's you." Ava turned around to see James. Relieved, Ava said, "You scared me." "What are you scared of?" Holding his wife in his arms, James smiled into the twinkling light. "Scared just because of this? I never knew my wife was so timid." "Who... Who said I was scared?" Ava pretended to be angry and poked him. "Didn't I say not to pick me up?" James took the key from Ava's hand and said "I had nothing to do at home anyway, and besides, it's very late and I was worried about you driving home alone." Hearing his words, Ava was very touched. Ava and James got into the car and quickly drove out of the underground carpark. They chatted about Ava's work for that day. Although Ava was tired, it was clear that she found it very rewarding. Starting from the first street, James noticed two black Mercedes-Benz were trailing behind their car. James frowned slightly and stepped down harder on the accelerator, heading straight for Downvilla district. "What's wrong?" Ava, feeling th

CHAPTER 248
Although Jeffery heard that the Peter’s organization had collapsed, he was still very stubborn. He said, "James, I don't care if you are a useless piece of trash or Mr. Miller. When my backing comes, you'll definitely die." He just finished saying it. Then a group of men entered through the entrance of the hotel. When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening. He exuded an irresistible and powerful aura from h

"Sure, I will go and carry it out," Tony said politely and hurriedly. "Withdraw all of Jeffery’s money from the Bank." Gracious lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She blew out a long trail of smoke and continued, "And retrieve his collection of paintings as well.""Ms. Gracious, what are your plans?" Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status." Tony covered his cheek and stood by the

CHAPTER 246
"Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened! Something disastrous has happened!"The housekeeper went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. At that moment, Gracious and her boy toy were messing around on the bed. Due to the sudden appearance of the housekeeper, Gra

CHAPTER 245
Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly. The bullet brushed past his ear and hit a statue in the center of the lobby of the hotel. The bullet that came out of the gun hit the statue directly on its head.A loud bang was heard when the statue's head broke into half.Then the statue fell on the ground and broke into

CHAPTER 244
Jeffery's body cringed as he felt the pain after James kicked him. However, very quickly, two members in the black camo suits came between two of them."James..." Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened." Although Jeffery did not know who James really was, he already had a taste of what he was capable of. Now, he was trapped and unable to do anything. He had to do some sweet talk and get out of this humiliation.If not, he would not be able to survive in Sunshine or

CHAPTER 243
"An armed car?"Jeffery's eyes were wide open."Mr. Dick, be careful!" As a piece of broken glass was about to pierce into Jeffery's neck, one of his men jumped in front of him to protect him.Then the armored car charged in. It was well equipped, and the members of the team dressed in black cami suits had live ammunition.Jeffery was in a state of shock. His men could not move at all when they saw the members of the team in black camo suits.Jeffery had been in many confrontations and fights all his life. However, he had never seen such a powerful and imposing battle array.Before he could come back to his senses, he felt whirlwind coming his way."Is that a... plane?" One of his men pointed to a big piece of open space. They saw a few planes that had landed there. "Not just planes, they are fighter planes... No, no, no, they should be combat aircraft." One of the men corrected him.After hearing "combat aircraft," the lobby was filled with sounds of things hitting the ground.Jeffer

CHAPTER 242
"What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
