The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Are you shy,my love?
As Lauren stepped out of the elevator and into the executive floor of E.M Corporation, the air shifted. There was an undeniable presence about her, a quiet yet commanding grace that turned heads effortlessly. She wasn’t just any woman—she was Lauren Damien, and whether she acknowledged it or not, she had an aura that demanded attention.The secretaries seated at their desks glanced up as she entered. They had seen her before, of course, but today was different. Today, they truly saw her.She wasn’t just an actress who had once fallen from grace. She wasn’t just Ethan Maverick’s wife. She was stunning. Breathtaking.One of the younger secretaries, a man in his late twenties, quickly stood up and hurried toward her, his hands clasped together respectfully. His gaze flickered with a mixture of admiration and reverence.“Is Madam looking for the Chairman?” he asked politely, bowing slightly.Lauren halted mid-step, blinking in surprise. Madam?She frowned slightly, her lips parting as if
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Scheming
Becca’s heart pounded in her chest as she stood motionless, her mind reeling from what had just transpired. She had thought—no, she had been certain—that Ethan recognized her and had intentionally ignored her out of his admiration toward her. That was the only explanation she could come up with. But now, as reality sank in, she realized she had been completely mistaken.It wasn’t that Ethan had deliberately disregarded her. It was simply that he hadn't found a new spokeslady yet. That was all. He hadn’t even considered her worth commenting on.That realization stung more than she was willing to admit."Sir, I... I am... sorry," Becca stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. She clenched her fists at her sides, trying to steady herself, but the words still came out weak. Apologizing was never something she did easily, especially not in the presence of someone like Lauren.Lauren.Becca's stomach twisted at the thought of the woman standing right there, basking in Ethan’s attention
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Are you even my mother?
Lauren and Ethan arrived at the most prestigious restaurant in Valeria, an establishment known not just for its exquisite cuisine but also for its exclusivity. Every detail, from the grand chandeliers to the soft, ambient lighting, spoke of luxury and class. The exterior alone, with its sleek black-and-gold signage and uniformed valet staff, was enough to tell passersby that this was a place reserved for the elite.As they stepped out of their car, a well-groomed attendant approached, bowing slightly before guiding them inside. Lauren, who had been to many fine restaurants in the past, wasn’t too fazed by the grand setting—until Ethan casually mentioned something that caught her off guard.“This place is one of ours,” he said with an amused smile, his fingers resting lightly on the small of her back as they walked through the entrance.Lauren blinked, turning to him in surprise. “Wait… E.M Corporation owns this restaurant?”Ethan nodded. “Yes. Didn’t you know?”Lauren frowned slightly
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend DNA test
Katherine Walker didn’t even bother to walk toward the couple. She stood frozen, her body stiff with a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite name—was it humiliation? Rage? Or perhaps, deep down, the bitter taste of regret? Either way, she refused to let her legs move in their direction. Instead, she leaned against the car, her arms folded across her chest, watching her mother with unreadable eyes.She had left her mother to deal with them both. It was either she didn’t have the audacity to walk up to Ethan and Lauren or she was boiling so much with jealousy that she feared she might lose control. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, but the pain was nothing compared to the fire burning inside her.Her eyes settled on Lauren—her so-called sister—who stood beside Ethan Maverick, looking every bit like the woman who had won it all. Katherine wanted to rip that victorious expression off her face, to see her crumble the way she had crumbled these past few days. It
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend I cursed the day I met you!
Katherine and Jane Alex stood frozen, their bodies coated in filth, the thick stench of rotten eggs and spoiled food clinging to their clothes. Their once-pristine designer outfits were now soaked in grime, their expensive perfume overpowered by the sickening mixture of substances thrown at them. The humiliation burned hotter than the sting of the impact.The fans who had tormented them finally began to disperse, laughing among themselves, their mocking voices ringing in the air like a cruel melody. Some took pictures and videos, their smartphones flashing as they captured the shame written all over Katherine and her mother’s faces. They didn’t stop to offer any words of comfort—because they had come for one reason only: vengeance.Neither Katherine nor Jane Alex had the strength to cry out or beg for mercy.Because what good would it do?If they screamed for help, more people would gather. More eyes would turn their way. More voices would whisper their disgrace. The last thing they w
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

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
