The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Begging Ethan
Grey Stanley’s face darkened with cold fury, his aged but still powerful hands tightening into fists as he fixed his piercing gaze on Lara Jean. His silver hair, neatly combed back, only made him look more intimidating as his sharp eyes locked onto her trembling form.“Are you deaf?!” he thundered, his deep voice slicing through the tense air like a blade.The entire dining hall fell into absolute silence.Not even the faintest rustling of cutlery or the usual murmurs of servants moving about the estate could be heard. The weight of his words had sucked all the warmth out of the room, leaving only the cold, suffocating presence of his wrath.Lara Jean’s heart pounded wildly in her chest, her throat tightening as she struggled to form a coherent response. She had known Grey Stanley for years, had lived under the same roof as him for decades, and yet she had never seen this level of rage directed at her.She wasn’t just afraid—she was terrified.She had always understood that Grey Stanl
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend He might as well just die on the battle field
Jane Alex felt a wave of shame wash over her as she stood there, frozen under Maya’s piercing gaze. The child’s reaction was not surprising—after all, she had never shown Maya any warmth. If anything, she had always been indifferent to her presence, sometimes even outright cruel. She had denied Maya food on several occasions and made no effort to hide her displeasure whenever she saw her. Jane Alex had assumed the child was too young to understand her coldness, but now, standing before Maya’s fearful yet defiant expression, she realized just how deeply her past actions had affected the little girl.Maya clung tightly to Ethan, her small arms wrapped securely around his neck as she buried her face into his chest. Even though she refused to look at Jane Alex, her trembling fingers clutched onto her father’s shirt, a silent indication of her unease. Ethan gently rubbed her back in reassurance, his expression darkening as he directed his icy gaze at the woman before him.Jane Alex hesitat
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Killing Lauren and her daughter
"Are you asking me that? If I had known this is how you would turn out to be, I would have made your mother abort you." Lucas Henry’s voice was like ice—cold, sharp, and devoid of remorse. His piercing gaze bore into James, his own son, as though he were nothing more than an unwanted burden.James Henry stood frozen, the weight of those words pressing down on his chest like a boulder. He wanted to laugh, and so he did—hysterically, bitterly. His laughter echoed through the grand dining hall, but it was empty, devoid of any mirth. The pain cut so deep that even tears refused to come."If that is what you truly think," James said, his voice laced with both agony and anger, "then please, do me a favor. Excuse me from this family. Excuse my son and me from your so-called noble bloodline! I give you my full permission to erase our names from the family registrar. If you have any properties willed to us, you can take them back. We want nothing from you!"The tension in the room thickened, s
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Lauren Damien is my wife,she has always been my wife
At the Spring EstateLauren sat cross-legged on the plush carpet, her script in hand, eyes glued to the pages as she rehearsed her lines for the upcoming audition. Every word was enunciated with precision, every emotion carefully practiced. She had been at it for hours, immersing herself completely, determined to perfect her performance.The room was silent, save for her steady voice and the rustling of pages—until a sudden excited outburst shattered the peace."Your husband is so amazing and caring!"The voice belonged to Hazel, her closest friend, who had just barged into the room with an unmistakable look of excitement.Lauren barely glanced up, her brows furrowing slightly in confusion. Ethan Maverick? Amazing and caring? She wasn’t sure those words belonged in the same sentence. She had no idea what Hazel was going on about, and quite frankly, she wasn’t in the mood to entertain any distractions.She chose to ignore the remark and continued reading her script, flipping to the nex

Ethan moved swiftly toward Lauren, his sharp gaze sweeping over her from head to toe, his eyes lingering on her hands as if searching for any sign of injury. His sudden scrutiny took Lauren by surprise, and for a moment, she was puzzled by his actions. However, as she noticed the subtle crease in his brows and the concern etched into his expression, understanding dawned upon her.A playful smile tugged at her lips as she crossed her arms. "Who told you that I couldn’t cook?" she teased, her tone lighthearted. "I can cook, Ethan. And even if my food doesn’t taste like a five-star meal, at the very least, it’ll still be edible." She let out a small laugh, trying to ease the tension in the air.Ethan, however, was not amused. His face remained serious, his jaw tightening. "Why did you go into the kitchen?" he questioned, his voice laced with both frustration and concern. "I already instructed the chefs not to let you in. What if you got hurt?" He reached for her hands again, inspecting t
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Audition
The sun had barely risen when a crowd of eager actresses began gathering at the grand audition hall of E.M Entertainment. The energy in the air was palpable—an intoxicating mix of excitement, determination, and anxiety. Today was the highly anticipated audition for Beneath the Smile, E.M Entertainment’s upcoming movie, which had already created waves of anticipation within the industry.The movie revolved around Penelope, a woman who seemed to have it all—wealth, beauty, power, and a loving family. She was the kind of woman that others admired, envied, and even wished to become. Many fantasized about living her life, basking in her glory, and experiencing the privileges she enjoyed. But what they failed to see was the truth that lay hidden beneath the surface. Behind Penelope’s dazzling smile and carefully curated perfection was a darkness that no one could ever imagine. Her happiness was merely a façade, a mask she wore to deceive the world. The real Penelope was trapped in a life of
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Beneath the Smile
"I'm a bit surprised you still recognized me," the lady said, her tone laced with amusement."Penelope, right?" Lauren responded, tilting her head slightly as she observed the woman before her. "You have the same name as the female lead. Best of luck with your audition."Penelope scoffed lightly, shaking her head. "What best of luck? Even if you haven't acted in five years, I know getting the female lead role is a piece of cake for you."Lauren let out a small chuckle, brushing a few strands of her neatly styled hair away from her face. "Oh, please don't exaggerate," she said with a modest smile.As they conversed, a sudden thought struck Lauren like a bolt of lightning, causing her expression to shift subtly. A deep sense of realization dawned upon her as she looked toward Penelope with an intense, searching gaze. The pieces of a long-forgotten puzzle started falling into place, and her heart pounded slightly at the realization."It's you, right?" she asked, her voice laced with unce
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend I want Ethan Maverick,name your price
One of the men suddenly started clapping, and soon, the entire room followed suit. The applause wasn’t out of obligation, nor was it because Lauren was the chairman’s wife. It was purely because of the raw talent she had just displayed.The energy in the room shifted, admiration evident in the eyes of the directors and actors present. Some whispered among themselves, their hushed voices carrying words of praise and astonishment. No one had expected this outcome—not even the director who had written the story himself.Becca, sitting stiffly in her chair, clenched her fingers into a fist, her nails digging into her palm in frustration. She had wanted nothing more than to see Lauren humiliated today, to have the opportunity to mock her under the guise of professionalism. She had heard people talk about Lauren’s talent before, but she had dismissed it.After all, how good could she be?Becca had assumed Lauren was just like the numerous A-list or B-list actresses sitting in the audition h

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
