The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Brewing Storm
Hazel hesitantly raised her hand to her face, her fingers brushing lightly over her skin as she tried to figure out if there was something wrong. She frowned, wondering if there was a smudge or mark that she couldn’t feel. As her fingers accidentally pressed against the bandage on her forehead, a sharp sting made her flinch. She winced in pain, pulling her hand away quickly, reminded of her injury.Her discomfort deepened as she felt Raymond’s eyes on her, unwavering and intense. It was as if he was studying her, scrutinizing every detail of her face. Hazel squirmed under the weight of his gaze, her heartbeat quickening. The silence between them stretched awkwardly, and the longer it went on, the more her discomfort grew. For a fleeting moment, she considered grabbing something—anything—to cover his eyes.Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she asked, “Is there something on my face?” Her voice wavered slightly, a mixture of curiosity and unease.Raymond shook his head silently, but
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Ethan Maverick was not dead!
Grey Stanley’s sharp gaze shifted from Katherine to Jane before he finally spoke, his voice calm but stern. “This is supposed to be a meeting for men. Why, Alex Walker, did you bring your entire family?”Alex Walker glanced briefly at his wife and daughter, reading the discomfort in Grey Stanley’s tone. Without hesitation, he turned to them and motioned for them to leave. “Apologies, Pa Stanley,” he said with a respectful nod. “We only intended to check on Asper Stanley before we received your message early this morning.”Grey Stanley gave a slight nod of understanding, but the atmosphere in the room remained tense. A low chuckle from Lucas Henry broke the brief silence, though his laughter carried a sneering tone. “So pretentious,” he remarked, his voice loud enough to ensure everyone heard. “Just like his father.”Alex Walker, calm as ever, ignored the taunt. But Grey Stanley’s sharp gaze landed on Lucas Henry, his expression unreadable. “Does he think everyone is as shallow and con

Grey Stanley turned his piercing gaze toward Alex Walker, his voice cold and steady as he said, “Do you think anyone can just walk in and retrieve the Rays Painting without some form of payment or service rendered? That painting didn’t just fall into my possession—it was bought from Ethan Maverick’s grandfather, fair and square, long before this mess. Let me make one thing clear: I’ve already said my piece. Ethan has injured my grandson, and though he have been somewhat appeased by giving up the painting, this matter is far from over. His vengeance doesn’t end here. If you choose to heed my warning, good. If not, that’s entirely up to you. Who knows? It might be your daughter who’s next.”He paused, letting his words sink in before adding pointedly, “After all, they were once engaged.”The silence that followed was suffocating, broken only by the soft, almost inaudible rustle of clothes as Alex Walker shifted uncomfortably in his chair. Grey Stanley’s words had struck a nerve, and he
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Becoming Ethan's Woman again
“So, are you telling me now that that useless Ethan is so powerful that he can take on the three families?” Jane asked, her brows furrowed deeply, her voice tinged with disbelief and frustration.“I think so,” Lara Jean replied, her tone heavy with worry. “That incident with my precious son—what happened to him—and we were unable to trace it back to Ethan. If not for Dr. Jos telling us the truth, we would still be in the dark.”“Can Dr. Jos's word even be trusted?” Jane shot back, crossing her arms. “I mean, he might just be bluffing to stir the waters.”Lara Jean shook her head firmly. “He’s certainly not bluffing. Why would he lie to us? Dr. Jos has no reason to fabricate such a story.”The two women continued to discuss the matter, their voices low and cautious. They weighed the potential consequences and decided the most pressing issue was to ensure all traces of evidence were thoroughly erased. They couldn’t afford to leave anything that could be linked back to their families. Af
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Ethan's take over EM
At the Spring Estate, it was late at night, and the silence stretched across the grand mansion. Ethan was still in his study, typing on his laptop with precision and focus. The dim glow of the screen reflected on his sharp features, casting shadows that only accentuated his handsome face. His dark eyes narrowed slightly as he reviewed a document on the screen.After a moment, he leaned back in his chair and reached for his phone. With a deliberate press of a button, he dialed a number. The phone rang once before it was answered."Schedule the shareholders’ meeting for a week from now," Ethan instructed, his tone calm yet authoritative. His voice carried a weight that demanded attention, even over the phone.The person on the other end replied promptly, their respect evident in their tone. The call ended as quickly as it began, leaving the room in silence once again. Ethan placed the phone down and stared at the screen for a moment longer before closing his laptop.In another part of t

"Of course," Lauren answered firmly, her voice steady and confident as if the matter was already settled in her mind. She hesitated briefly, her gaze flickering with curiosity, before adding, "What about Katherine?"Ethan's lips curved into a cold, calculating smile, the kind that could send chills down anyone's spine. His eyes gleamed with an unspoken promise of retribution. "If Katherine really has a hand in this," he began, his tone measured and deliberate, "I will ruin her. But if she doesn't..." He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle in the air, "I will still ruin her. Finding out whether she was involved only determines the level of punishment I’ll give her."Lauren felt a surge of delight at his response, a wave of satisfaction coursing through her. She had hoped for exactly this outcome, but she knew better than to reveal her true feelings. Instead, she kept her expression neutral, forcing herself to remain composed. If she allowed even the slightest hint of a s
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend Mike Henry
Once someone raised the possibility that the bodyguards had removed their hidden cameras, a collective wave of horror swept through the crowd. Everyone froze, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. If such a thing were true, it meant these bodyguards were operating on a level far beyond anything they had imagined. How could they have removed the cameras without anyone noticing? The very thought sent shivers down their spines.And if the bodyguards were this skilled, what did that say about their boss? The fear in their hearts deepened as they tried to process the implications. This wasn’t just about Ethan Maverick’s power as the CEO of the largest corporation in Valeria; this was about the kind of man he was—someone who could command loyalty and skill of this magnitude.The tension was unbearable. Those who had come from other companies, initially hoping to gain some insight or form connections, decided they wanted no part of this. Without a second thought, they left the scene, not w
The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend The Cameras fell to the ground, shattering upon impact.
In the military, he wasn’t beaten or treated unjustly like some might assume. He had spent five long, grueling years there, undergoing rigorous training, battling harsh conditions, and proving his resilience. Those years shaped him, molded him into a man of discipline, honor, and strength. When he returned home, he wasn’t just another soldier—he was a commander, a rank he had earned through unwavering dedication and countless sacrifices. He had come to share the good news with his family, to inform them of his promotion and to let them know that he was being transferred out of Valeria, where he had spent the last few years.His heart had been full of pride and excitement as he walked into his family’s mansion, expecting to be received with open arms and warm congratulations. But the moment he stepped inside, he was met with his grandfather’s cold, distant gaze. The old man barely looked at him, shaking his head in disdain as though being in the military was something to be ashamed of.

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
