I'm looking for an excuse to convince Mr. Reuben. "I have a friend who claims to have invented a device for treating lung inflammation, which is currently undergoing successful testing. I think you should give it a try." Seeing Mr. Reuben and Mrs. Anna still hesitating, I added, "Dad, how about giving it a chance? Of course, the decision is yours!" Mr. Reuben pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said, "Okay! I trust you! After all, my illness has no chance of being cured. The daily medications and chemical treatments have exhausted my physical and mental state." Upon hearing Mr. Reuben's words, Mrs. Anna quietly shed tears, her face showing deep concern. Although Mr. Reuben had undergone surgery before, it wasn't entirely successful as the diseased area had not been completely removed. Two months ago, after Mr. Reuben went to the hospital for a health check-up, it was discovered that his cancer cells were rapidly multiplying. A tumor had also grown beneath his co
"Dad, what do you want?" I asked."I want... I want to fart." Mr. Reuben replied, his face turning red.I couldn't help but smirk and say, "Farting is not a bad thing! It can indicate that toxins in your body have been eliminated."Pausing for a moment, I handed Mr. Reuben the prescription I had written, saying, "These are the medications to support your treatment. I'll go buy them for you later."In reality, relying solely on my healing powers, Mr. Reuben could have recovered from his illness and even become healthier than before.However, if he didn't take some additional medications, my family would become suspicious.That's why I decided to buy some vitamins to deceive everyone. Of course, Mr. Reuben had no idea what the medications listed on the prescription were.He nodded and said, "I trust you! After receiving treatment from this device, I feel much stronger.""Okay!""Son, thank you," Mr. Reuben said, his voice choked with emotion.I patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying
Jack's provocative expression showed on his face as he tightened his grip on my hand, indicating his intention to intimidate me.I smirked, displaying a contemptuous look on my face, and then quietly activated my superpower, rapidly increasing the strength in my arm. Calmly, I said, "Hello, I'm Andrew, Emma's lawful husband!"I purposely emphasized the word "husband."What about him being Emma's first love? I am now Emma's husband!Jack noticed that when I also tightened my grip on his hand, he also increased the strength in his hand. He couldn't have anticipated that I was stronger than him.Jack is about five centimeters taller than me, and his physique is much stronger. According to theory, his strength should be significantly greater than mine. He thought that squeezing my hand tightly would make me cry out in pain.But he couldn't have imagined that I had been gifted with superpowers and advanced martial arts skills by the rich son-in-law system.Before long, Jack started sweatin
Steal a chicken and lose a handful of rice!Emma seemed a little embarrassed, she picked up a cup of tea and took a sip."Jack, I heard Emma say you're a graduate student at Caltech, is that right?" Mrs. Brebeca changed the subject."That's right!" Jack nodded and smiled.A pleased expression appeared in his eyes."You're impressive! How long are you planning to stay abroad this time?""I won't be going abroad this time. My dad asked me to help him manage the family assets.""That's right, the Brown family's business should be passed down to you now." Mrs. Brebeca looked around as if remembering something, and she said: "Oh, Jack, have you had a girlfriend during your years of studying abroad? Or maybe I should ask if you're married yet? You're handsome, and you're the heir of the Brownie conglomerate, so you must have a girlfriend!""No, actually, I'm still single," Jack replied."Single?" Mrs. Brebeca exclaimed excitedly.Jack nodded and continued, "I won't hide it from you, I broke
However...Mr. Kurt Thompson still hasn't made a will, and Emma feels dissatisfied as all the actions she took before to inherit his assets have been nullified.When Mrs. Brebeca hears Jack confessing to Emma directly, her eyes immediately light up.I scornfully say, "Someone like you considers yourself outstanding? If you're so outstanding, why did you come back to the country? You surely can't survive abroad anymore, that's why you came back here!""I came back to the country to inherit the family's wealth!" Jack retorts."Are your parents all dead, or is that why they called someone as useless as you to inherit the assets?""You..." Jack's face turns purple with anger.He rushes forward, grabs my collar, and lifts me.I remain calm and condescendingly ask, "How? Did I say to true? Did your whole Brown family die just to call you back and inherit their wealth?"I cruelly mock Jack!In the past, I always yielded to them because I needed to pay for my father's medical treatment and pr
Emma and Mrs. Brebeca looked at Jack with concerned eyes, not knowing what to say. Jack turned around, rubbing his right hand, and walked towards the door, visibly annoyed.When he reached the door, he paused and turned his head back to look at me with a resentful and angry gaze.He said, "I will get revenge on you! Andrew, just wait and see. In the future, I will make you feel a hundred times more humiliated than what you did to me today!"As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried out of Emma's house, as if afraid that I would chase after him. Seeing Jack's behavior, I sneered with contempt. I then turned around and went back to my room."Stop!" Mrs. Brebeca suddenly called me back. I turned around and looked at Mrs. Brebeca with a skeptical gaze, s if questioning why she called me back."Andrew, you have gone too far. How dare you provoke the successor of the Brown family! You have become too audacious!" Mrs. Brebeca scolded me with a stern look."It is not me who provoked Jack, b
Jack walked over to Mr. Luke Brown and reluctantly took a seat across from him.Mr. Luke Brown: "You've been back home for a while now. You should pay more attention to the business affairs of the Brownie Corporation and stop fooling around all day."Jack: "Dad, I knew."Mr. Luke Brown: "Do you know about the Thompson Corporation?"Jack: "Is it the corporation that specializes in producing leather bags?"Mr. Luke Brown: "Exactly!"Jack: "Well, I know all about it. Mr. Kurt Thompson's granddaughter, who was my classmate in junior high."Mr. Luke Brown: "Is that so?""Well..." Jack hesitated and said, "Emma, Mr. Kurt Thompson's granddaughter, is my first love.""Ha ha! So that's how it is!" Mr. Luke Brown burst into laughter."Dad, the person I have a meeting with today is Emma." Jack took a deep breath and said.After saying that, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp."Do you still love Emma?" Mr. Luke Brown furrowed his brows and asked."Yes, Dad." Jack gathered his
