The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Living in Spring Estate
Grey Stanley gritted his teeth in fury as he ended the call. His mind raced, and a cold wave of frustration washed over him. The situation was slipping through his fingers faster than he could control. Lucas Henry had played him well, too well. He had always known Lucas was a sly one, a master manipulator, but this? This was beyond what he had expected. How could Lucas move so quickly? He hadn’t even had the chance to punish Asper for his audacity in attempting to steal the Rays Painting, yet here they were, Lucas had already taken the matter public, making it far worse than it needed to be.Grey’s mind spun as he realized the weight of the situation. The board of directors would be breathing down his neck any moment, demanding answers. He needed to act fast, before they turned on him. But how could he explain the situation without exposing the full extent of Asper’s condition? The board couldn’t know how severe it was, not yet. Not until he had a chance to control the narrative.His
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Treating Asper Stanley
Ethan sat still for a while, the steady tapping of his finger on the armchair’s armrest punctuating the tense silence. His mind churned, thoughts flickering through his mind faster than he could process them. His gaze, intense and focused, was fixed somewhere in the distance, though his mind was far from the room.After a few more minutes of contemplation, Ethan stood abruptly. His movements were deliberate and measured, as always. He walked to the desk with purpose, then picked up the phone, his fingers dialing the number with precision.“Tell Dr. Jos to meet me in the study,” he commanded, his voice calm but carrying an edge of urgency.As soon as he hung up the phone, the room felt quieter—heavier somehow. It wasn’t long before a soft knock echoed from the door. Ethan didn’t need to say anything for the door to swing open. Dr. Jos entered, his usual casual demeanor apparent as he greeted Ethan and Raymond with a nod before taking a seat on the couch."You asked for me? Did somethin
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The Walkers Family
At the Walker’s Mansion, the epitome of wealth and elegance, a golden glow bathed the expansive sitting room. Sunlight filtered through floor-to-ceiling windows, bouncing off intricately designed furniture. The golden chandelier hanging from the arched ceiling added a majestic radiance to the room. Everything in the Walker household exuded opulence, from the silk curtains embroidered with intricate patterns to the Persian rug that stretched beneath the antique coffee table.Seated at the center of this grandeur, in his signature golden chair, was Alex Walker—the formidable head of the Walker family. His sharp eyes carried the weight of decades of power, and his presence alone was enough to command respect. He sat with an air of relaxed authority, cradling a delicate glass of Thalath Red in his hand.Thalath Red—a wine so rare and revered that only a few bottles were brewed eighty years ago in Valeria. It wasn’t just a drink; it was a legacy. Savoring the wine slowly, Alex allowed its
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The Press conference
Katherine’s mind wandered to Lauren and her daughter, who had been out of sight since the previous day. She took an unusual delight in tormenting both mother and child, especially after everything that had happened between them. Lauren had always been a thorn in her side, and her daughter, though innocent in the situation, had somehow become part of that irritation. Katherine enjoyed watching them squirm, seeing how they lived in constant fear of her presence. It was a twisted pleasure, one that brought her a sense of control over the two of them.Katherine’s mind churned with dark thoughts as she made a mental note to stop by the hotel where Lauren worked. It wasn’t just a visit, but a reminder of who held the power. She would torment them just as she always did—relentlessly, with no mercy. The idea of seeing Lauren’s face when she arrived at the hotel made Katherine smile in sadistic satisfaction. She could already picture the fear in Lauren’s eyes, and that thought alone brought h
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The Press conference II
"Greetings of the moment to you, everyone," Casper Stanley began, his voice steady but with a hint of authority, as he addressed the gathered crowd. "I hope your day has been good. My name is Casper Stanley, the only son of your favorite president, Stanley, and Asper Stanley’s father. I am here today to clarify matters regarding my son Asper’s health condition."As soon as he finished his statement, the room erupted with a flurry of questions from the eager reporters, their pens poised and cameras flashing. It was exactly what Casper had been dreading. Press conferences were never easy for him. The reporters, like vultures, always came at him with a barrage of questions, eager for the next scandal or piece of information. And they didn’t even have the decency to ask one question at a time, instead throwing multiple questions in rapid succession, as if waiting for a scoop."Mr. Casper, what do you mean by Asper Stanley’s health condition? Is it true that his health is in a very bad sta
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Treating Asper Stanley
The doctors were surprised when they heard the name Dr. Jos. He was here for Asper Stanley? The thought alone sent ripples of disbelief across the room. The Stanleys were undoubtedly a powerful family, but was their influence truly vast enough to bring Dr. Jos, the legendary doctor, to treat Asper? It seemed almost too unreal to be true.Dr. Ras, standing stiffly among the medical team, felt his heart drop to his stomach. A wave of unease washed over him as memories of his past interactions with the Stanleys surfaced. Had he ever unintentionally offended Pa Stanley? Or perhaps Lara Jean? His mind raced with every possible scenario. If the hospital director decided to sack him over some misunderstanding, he could still scrape together a semblance of a life. But if the Stanleys chose to retaliate against him personally, he knew there would be no escape. The Stanleys were not a family one could cross and still walk the earth freely.He recalled how, not too long ago, he had chuckled in p
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The Rays Painting....I want it.
Two assistants stood behind Stanley Jos obediently, their postures rigid and professional as they silently awaited his next move. The room was eerily quiet, save for the low hum of machinery in the background. Stanley Jos, dressed in his immaculate white coat, turned his attention to the operating table, where Asper lay, his injuries grievous. His cold, calculating gaze studied the tools before him as his mind worked through the procedure. He adjusted his gloves with precision, each snap of the latex echoing slightly through the room.A while after the Stanleys had left, Stanley Jos picked up his phone and dialed Ethan’s number. The phone rang once before it was picked up."I’m there, Ethan, with Asper. Do you really want me to treat him?" Stanley Jos asked again, his voice steady, though he already knew the answer. He was certain Ethan’s instructions were clear, but it didn’t hurt to ask. Maybe there was something else Ethan needed him to do."He must not die. Also, he shouldn't lose
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Between Asper's life and the Rays Painting
"Asper is our only child," Lara Jean whispered, her voice trembling with fear. Her fingers dug into the armrest of the couch as though it could anchor her in this storm. "He said no one will be able to treat Asper except him." The words felt like jagged glass leaving her throat, each syllable laden with dread.Casper stood near the window, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the fading sunlight. The sprawling gardens beyond seemed lifeless, their beauty offering no comfort. He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his eyes followed the shadows lengthening across the lawn, a reflection of the turmoil swirling in his mind.Finally, he spoke, his voice measured but distant. "I don’t know, Lara. The Rays Painting is as important as Asper."Lara’s breath hitched. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him. "What?" she asked, stepping closer to him. Her tone was sharper now, tinged with disbelief. "Casper, are you even listening to yourself? Asper is our son—our only child! How can y

Under arrest for the possession of illegal substances
Ethan's footsteps were quiet as he approached the dimly lit bedroom. Lauren sat on the edge of the bed, her hands resting on her lap, her eyes staring blankly ahead. She didn’t flinch when he entered, nor did she acknowledge his presence immediately.He watched her for a moment, taking in the distant look in her eyes and the slight furrow of her brows. Something was on her mind."Why are you not sleeping?" Ethan finally asked, his voice gentle yet laced with concern.Lauren blinked, as though just realizing he was there. She lifted her gaze, scrutinizing him from head to toe. After a long pause, she exhaled deeply, her shoulders rising and falling in frustration.“You’re keeping something from me,” she stated, her voice calm but firm, her eyes sharp with certainty.Ethan met her gaze but said nothing. Instead, a small, knowing smile tugged at his lips, revealing nothing yet saying everything at the same time.“You will know when the time comes,” he murmured.His arms wrapped around he
I made a plan and had her killed.
"I... I will say everything! I will talk!" Jane Alex shouted hurriedly, her voice breaking in desperation.Ethan Maverick’s cold gaze settled on her, unreadable and unmoved. He remained seated in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest as if he had all the time in the world."Then start talking," he ordered, his tone void of emotion.Jane swallowed hard. Her throat felt dry, her body trembling with fear. She had spent years hiding the truth, doing everything in her power to bury the past, but now...She had no choice.Her daughter’s life was on the line."It was because your mother hurt me," she finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "You should have known... we are sisters from different fathers."Ethan’s expression darkened.His fingers stopped tapping. His brows furrowed slightly, but his face remained composed.Sisters?This information hadn’t appeared in his investigation. Someone had deliberately erased it. Som
The truth behind Senoritas's death
Asper Stanley felt a splitting headache the moment he regained consciousness. A dull throbbing sensation pulsed through his skull, making him groan involuntarily. Instinctively, he tried to lift his hands to cradle his aching head, but something restrained him. A sharp clinking sound followed his movement, and he realized with dread that his wrists were bound. His brows furrowed in confusion as he slowly forced his heavy eyelids open, blinking against the dim light of the room.The sight that met his eyes sent a jolt of panic through him. Thick iron chains wrapped tightly around his wrists and ankles, binding him to a cold, rigid iron chair. He struggled against his restraints, but the chains dug into his skin, refusing to budge. His breathing grew uneven as his gaze darted around the unfamiliar space, searching for any sign of familiarity or escape.It was a wide room which housed a lot of iron chairs and chains. There was also an electric chair in one side of the room. He could also
What if I refuse?
"You really are Ethan Maverick’s wife," Asper sneered, amusement flickering in his eyes. "You've started commanding people too, I see. Interesting."Lauren glared at him, but he simply chuckled. "But even if Ethan arrives here now, all I have to do is press this button, and you're dead. Do you think your husband will reach this room before the lion tears you apart?"His voice carried a smug confidence, one that made Lauren’s stomach churn with unease. He had planned this well—too well. Even if Ethan did come for her, Asper would be alerted before he could get close.With deliberate slowness, Asper pushed the contract forward and gestured toward the seat opposite him."Sit," he ordered.Lauren didn’t move. Her eyes flickered toward the ceiling, where the hidden compartment loomed above her. The lion's low growl sent shivers down her spine."Close the ceiling," she demanded, her voice steady but laced with fear. "I can't think straight with that animal above my head."Asper arched a bro
Her blood turned to ice
The man drove the car down a long, deserted road, the headlights cutting through the thick darkness that surrounded them. The atmosphere was eerily silent, save for the occasional rustling of leaves in the cold night breeze. The house he was headed for stood isolated in the middle of nowhere, its presence almost ghostly under the pale moonlight.Once he arrived, he stepped out of the car and made his way to the passenger side. Without hesitation, he opened the door and lifted the unconscious woman in his arms. Her delicate frame was light against his strength, but he carried her effortlessly into the house. As soon as he stepped inside, he walked toward a room, carefully placing her on the bed. Without sparing another glance, he locked the door behind him and left.Lauren remained unconscious for a long time. Eventually, her eyelids fluttered, and she slowly reopened her eyes. Blinking in confusion, she gazed up at the unfamiliar ceiling. A white chandelier hung above her, casting a s
Practicing the black magic
Penelope patted her neck, wincing as she coughed violently. Her throat burned from the pressure that had been there moments ago. She took deep, shaky breaths, willing herself to calm down. He was gone. She didn’t have to marry that strange man again. Relief flooded through her, but it was quickly overshadowed by unease.What did he mean by a pill?Her brows furrowed in thought. She had never heard of such a thing before. A pill that could prevent pain from being shared in a soul oath? It sounded too terrifying to be real. But if it was real, then she and Damien were in grave danger. Her father—or rather, the man she had called her father—would never let her go so easily. If that pill truly existed, he would find a way to get his hands on it. And if he did… Damien would suffer in ways she couldn’t even imagine.A chill ran down her spine.The dim candlelight flickered as the cold wind whistled through the small gaps in the window. She rubbed her arms absentmindedly, lost in her thought
Soul Oath
She rushed to Kirk's office, her heartbeat hammering in her chest as she moved swiftly yet cautiously, making sure not to alert the security men patrolling the hallways. The dim lighting in the corridor did little to ease her nerves, but she had no choice—this was her only opportunity.Reaching the office door, she took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she keyed in the password. She had memorized it a long time ago when she was still chasing after Kirk, and he had never bothered to change it. A careless mistake on his part, but a fortunate advantage for her. The door beeped softly before unlocking, and she slipped inside without hesitation, closing it quietly behind her.Her eyes scanned the room quickly. Kirk’s office was as pristine and well-organized as she had expected. The scent of expensive cologne lingered in the air, mingling with the faint scent of freshly printed documents. She moved towards his desk, her heart pounding as she rifled through the neatly stacke
The Jade necklace
Ethan frowned slightly, his brows furrowing as if contemplating something deep within. But just as quickly, he masked it with a small, reassuring smile and met her gaze.Lauren didn’t miss the flicker of hesitation in his eyes before he responded. It was subtle, but she knew Ethan too well. There was something on his mind, something weighing heavily on him."Is anything the matter?" she asked softly, her voice laced with concern.Ethan exhaled slowly, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. "No, why do you ask?"Lauren bit her lower lip, debating whether to press him further. She could sense something was off. It wasn’t the first time she had noticed his quiet moments of contemplation, the way his expression darkened before he quickly masked it with a smile.After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and decided to voice her thoughts."Ethan… you… you have something else going on, right?" she asked hesitantly, her fingers tightening slightly around the fabric of her dress.Ethan
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
