The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The night of passion
The moment Jane Alex stepped back into the residence, she took a deep breath, composing herself. She had done what needed to be done, but she wasn’t foolish enough to let her guard down just yet. There was still a lot to take care of, and one misstep could unravel everything she had planned so meticulously.Her first priority was erasing all evidence.Without wasting a second, she walked swiftly to the security room, her heels clicking against the marble floor with a sense of urgency. She was aware that time wasn’t on her side—every passing moment was a risk, an opportunity for someone to stumble upon the truth.As soon as she reached the CCTV control panel, she got to work. With practiced ease, she navigated through the recorded footage, searching for the moment when she had forcefully dragged Katherine out of the house and into the sleek black car waiting outside. Once she located it, she wasted no time deleting every trace.She wasn’t naïve. She knew that security systems often had
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Pain
The first thing Lauren felt when she woke up was pain. A deep, lingering soreness spread through her lower body, making her wince as she shifted slightly on the bed. Every muscle in her body felt strained, as if she had been crushed under a heavy weight, leaving her exhausted beyond words.She blinked slowly, her eyelashes fluttering against her cheeks as the morning sunlight streamed into the room, casting a soft golden glow across the space. She could hear the faint chirping of birds outside, the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze. Everything was so calm, so peaceful—completely unlike the wild storm of passion that had consumed her the night before.As her mind slowly awakened, the memories of the previous night came flooding back, sending a wave of heat rushing to her face.She swallowed hard, her heart thudding against her ribs.The way Ethan had touched her. The way he had whispered her name with so much need. The way he had lost all control, taking her again and again until
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Jane's Acting talent at work
Ethan had left Lauren in the bedroom, ensuring she was comfortable before heading to his study. There was much to do, and now that things between him and Lauren had improved significantly, he was ready to execute his long-awaited plan. His patience had paid off—he had spent years waiting for this moment, biding his time, strengthening his power, and ensuring every piece was in place.The people responsible for his family's death thought they had escaped justice, but he would make sure they regretted ever taking away what was his. Their lives would become a living hell long before death claimed them.He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the wooden desk as he pulled out his phone. A message notification popped up, and his sharp eyes scanned the contents.Katherine is planning to leave Valeria. She is currently on the move.Ethan’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Did she really think she could escape? He had been watching her closely, anticipating her ever
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend If you want answers,ask my wife.
At that moment, Jane Alex felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for her career as an actress. Every tear she had shed, every desperate plea she had voiced, every flicker of pain she had displayed—it had all been a part of the role she had taken on. And it was flawless.Deceiving people, slipping into different roles, and controlling her emotions—it was second nature to her. She had spent years mastering the art of manipulating her expressions, voice, and even body language to convince people of whatever story she wanted them to believe. This situation was no different.What she had done wasn’t difficult at all.She simply had to erase the events leading up to the police's arrival from her mind and place herself in the position of a mother truly searching for her missing daughter. The key was to believe in her own lie.When she uttered the words, "What if Katherine has gone to commit suicide?" she had momentarily felt a flicker of genuine pain. The thought of losing her daughter, no
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The interrogation room
A searing light penetrated the darkness behind Katherine’s closed eyelids, its intensity sharp enough to drag her out of unconsciousness. A dull throbbing settled in her head as she stirred, her lashes fluttering weakly. The brightness was blinding, forcing her to squint as she tried to make sense of her surroundings.For a moment, she remained still, her mind sluggish and disoriented. Slowly, her vision adjusted, and her senses began to catch up with reality. The first thing she noticed was the sterile scent in the air—a mixture of antiseptic and something faintly metallic. It was oddly familiar, yet entirely foreign in this moment. The room she was in was painted an almost unnerving shade of white, the color extending from the walls to the ceiling, blending seamlessly with the fluorescent lights that loomed overhead.She swallowed, her throat dry and parched, as though she hadn’t had water in days. A faint beeping sound reached her ears, rhythmic and steady. Only then did she glance
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Lauren is a queen!
Meanwhile, at E.M Entertainment, things were anything but quiet. The entertainment industry had been sent into a frenzy following the company’s recent announcement—Lauren had been confirmed as the female lead for Beneath the Smile.The moment the news broke, the internet exploded with reactions. Fans, critics, and industry insiders alike rushed to social media to share their opinions.Lauren’s most devoted fans were ecstatic. They flooded online forums, comment sections, and fan pages with messages of excitement and support. To them, this was long overdue. Lauren was a powerhouse, a true talent who had captivated audiences for years. They wasted no time uploading clips from her previous works, using them as evidence to back their claims."She’s a queen. No one deserves this role more than her!" one fan gushed."Lauren’s acting is unmatched. Just wait and see—she’s going to kill this role!" another declared confidently.But not everyone was pleased.Fans of other A-list actresses were
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend You can't hold a candle to my wife
Although Ethan’s office door was slightly ajar, Becca still knocked gently. She hesitated for a moment, pressing her lips together as if contemplating whether she should even be here. The weight of her decision bore down on her, but she forced herself to knock again.After knocking twice without receiving a response, she cautiously stepped inside.Ethan was sitting behind his desk, engrossed in his laptop. The soft glow of the screen illuminated his sharp features, casting shadows that only added to his intimidating presence. His red pants and white shirt contrasted against the dark leather chair he sat in. His suit jacket was neatly hung on a hanger beside the door, and the top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, as if he had run his fingers through it repeatedly in frustration or deep thought. Yet, instead of diminishing his appearance, it only added to his effortless charm.The room was silent except for the
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend It was the three families who killed every single member of my family
Lauren nodded in silent agreement and followed closely behind. Her eyes darted around the office, scanning every detail. The once neatly arranged chairs were now out of place, pushed aside in a rush. Her gaze landed on Becca’s delicate jade necklace, lying abandoned on the floor. A shiver ran down her spine as unease settled in her chest. What exactly had happened here?Ethan, who had been observing her closely, noticed the way her eyes moved across the room, taking in every detail. He gently reached for her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze before pulling her toward the exit. Without a word, they stepped into the chairman’s private elevator, descending swiftly to the underground parking lot. The air was thick with tension, but neither of them spoke.As they stepped out, a black, heavily armored SUV awaited them. Ethan and Lauren slid into the back seat while a soldier, acting as their chauffeur for the day, took the driver’s position. The moment the doors closed, the vehicle pull

Happily ever after
The day Ethan Maverick and his family—Lauren and their daughter, Maya—arrived in the Awaya Kingdom was filled with a mixture of joy, curiosity, and tension. For years, the Awaya royal family had been searching for Ethan, their long-lost heir. When he vanished without a trace, it had seemed as though an invisible force prevented any efforts to find him. But everything changed when Ethan defeated the Demon Lord—a malevolent being whose powers had not only threatened the peace of Valeria but had also obscured Ethan’s existence from his family.The moment the Demon Lord was slain, it was as though a veil had lifted. Ethan’s parents became aware of his survival, his whereabouts, and everything he had accomplished since his return. They learned of his thriving business empire, his formidable strength, and the family he had built. Although years had passed, their desire to reunite with him burned stronger than ever. And now, with the barriers between them broken, the Awaya Kingdom eagerly aw
End of the Demon Lord
Ethan walked away from the circle with an air of authority, each step echoing through the eerie silence that filled the Demon Lord’s lair. His posture was regal—majestic in a way that demanded attention and fear. With his back half-turned, he glanced over his shoulder, his emerald eyes gleaming with both power and disdain."I never knew you were this dumb," he said coldly, his voice laced with mockery. "Don’t you realize how powerful the Awaya power is?" There was an edge of curiosity in his tone, as though he genuinely could not understand how the Demon Lord had underestimated him.The Demon Lord, towering and cloaked in an aura of shadow, narrowed his crimson eyes at Ethan. He took a cautious step backward, his heavy boots scraping against the stone floor. Fear crept into his expression—a rare sight for a being who had once commanded legions of monsters and brought entire kingdoms to ruin. He could sense the undeniable truth: Ethan was no longer the man he had once been. The explosi
What if Ethan dies right before her eyes?
Lauren still couldn’t believe what had just happened. The moment she opened the door, a chilling sight greeted her—Raymond stood there, but something about him was deeply wrong. His usual calm and composed expression was gone, replaced by an eerie coldness. His eyes, once warm brown, were now an unsettling shade of black that seemed to swirl with malice. The sinister gleam in his gaze made her blood run cold. At that moment, Lauren didn’t need anyone to tell her that she had made a terrible mistake—she had opened the door to death.Her heart pounded violently in her chest, and her first instinct was that he would strike immediately—perhaps to kill her and Maya without a second thought. Panic surged through her veins, but she forced herself to move. In a flash, she rushed to grab Maya, clutching her tightly in her arms as though her embrace alone could shield her daughter from whatever horror was about to unfold.She braced herself for an attack. Any second now, she expected Raymond to
Raymond is here to help....
When Raymond reached the lowest floor, he was met with yet another lock requiring a password. His brows furrowed deeply in frustration as he faced the obstacle before him."Why are there so many security measures?" he muttered under his breath, irritation creeping into his voice.Without wasting time, he began pressing various combinations of passwords, his fingers moving swiftly across the keypad. Yet, no matter how many times he tried, the lock remained stubbornly unyielding. His jaw clenched as the familiar beep of rejection echoed through the narrow hallway, further stoking his annoyance.Meanwhile, in the underground room, Lauren was busy plaiting Maya’s hair. The soft hum of the room’s ventilation filled the silence, and the gentle pull of Maya’s silky strands occupied her hands. The quiet atmosphere, however, was shattered by an unfamiliar sound—a faint yet distinct beeping coming from the door’s keypad. At first, she ignored it, assuming it was nothing out of the ordinary, but
The Fight
At the early hours of the third day, the soldiers stationed at the Spring Estate began to move out in disciplined formations, their armor clinking softly as they departed. The once-bustling estate, filled with vigilant warriors, now seemed quieter, more desolate, as their numbers thinned. The two opposing forces—Ethan's men and the army of the Demon Lord—had somehow communicated and reached an agreement to settle their conflict in an open space deep within Valeria’s forest. It was an isolated location, hidden so far within the wilderness that not even the most daring tourist would think to venture there. It was the perfect place for a battle—far from prying eyes and innocent bystanders.Despite the mass departure, Ethan did not leave the estate entirely unguarded. He had given strict orders for a handful of his most trusted soldiers to remain behind. Their sole mission was to protect his wife, Lauren, and their young daughter, Maya. Hidden away in a secret underground chamber beneath
The three prominent families are finally ruined!
“Should I go after him?” Don B asked the moment Raymond slipped away into the darkness, his voice tense with a mix of eagerness and frustration. Despite his earlier failure to subdue Ethan Maverick, the thought of allowing a potential spy to escape gnawed at him.The Demon Lord, still standing with an air of unshakable authority, didn’t respond immediately. His crimson eyes lingered on the jagged hole in the ceiling where Raymond had been lurking moments before. The room’s heavy, oppressive silence made the flickering torchlight feel colder, as though the very air shuddered under his presence.Without turning, he spoke—his voice smooth, deliberate, and void of any concern. “You don’t need to pursue him,” he said, as though the matter had already been decided. “I’ve already planted something in him… something that will make our mission easier in two days time.”Don B frowned slightly, though he was careful to keep his head bowed in submission. His master’s words were cryptic, but he kn
Annihilate the entire bloodline
Ethan didn’t go to where Lauren was. Instead, he only texted her to put her mind at ease. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be by her side—he wanted nothing more than to see her and ensure she and their child were safe—but he couldn’t afford to take any risks. Not now. Not when there might still be spies lurking around the Spring Estate. The last thing he wanted was to give their enemies any opportunity to strike, especially when the stakes were so high.His mind was sharp, constantly calculating every possible outcome. What if there were still people watching them? What if his movements led those enemies straight to his wife and child? No, Ethan wouldn’t allow that to happen. He had to be cautious. One wrong move could cost him everything. For now, he would maintain his distance and rely on his trusted subordinates to keep things under control.Without wasting any time, he summoned Raymond, one of his most loyal and capable men. As soon as Ethan’s command was sent, Raymond arrived swi
Controller of the Awaya kingdom power
They even had the audacity to test him like this.Ethan’s sharp eyes locked onto the tiny red light flickering ominously in the distance. Judging by its position and brightness, he could tell that the enemy wasn’t far away. His instincts, honed through years of experience and survival, immediately kicked in. He knew exactly what this meant—they were being watched. The thought alone made his blood boil.How bold of them to come this close. Did they really think they could challenge him?The soft, rhythmic sound of running water echoed in the background, reminding him that Lauren was still in the bathroom. The steady splashing reassured him that, for now, she was oblivious to the looming danger. Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm despite the growing tension in his chest. There was no time to waste. He needed to act quickly before their enemies could make their next move.Without hesitation, he reached for Lauren’s phone, his fingers moving swiftly as he dialed a nu
Dead bodies in Spring Estate
As soon as Ethan stepped into the sitting room, the distant sounds of battle reached his ears. The sharp clang of weapons, the heavy thud of bodies hitting the ground, and the occasional pained groans echoed through the estate. His eyes darkened as he listened."So they couldn't even wait for me to attack," he muttered, his voice laced with irritation. Without another word, he strode toward the door and stepped outside.The moment he did, a sudden gust of air rushed toward him at an alarming speed. His instincts kicked in instantly, and he dodged with an almost impossible swiftness, his body moving as if he had anticipated the attack long before it came.Standing a few meters away, Bethel’s eyes widened in shock. No one—absolutely no one—had ever been able to evade his strikes before. Yet, this man, Ethan, had just done so without even breaking a sweat. It was inconceivable.Bethel clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the unease that crept into his chest. He had always prided himse
