RISE OF THE WORTHLESS SON-IN-LAW
Ethan Cole was looked down on by everyone. His in-laws treated him like trash, his wife never respected him, and the entire city saw him as nothing more than a useless son-in-law. He was nothing but a punching bag for those who thought they were better than him.
But they never knew the truth. Ethan wasn’t just some ordinary man, he was the heir to the powerful Cole family, the wealthiest and most feared family in the country. Due to past mistakes, Ethan had chosen to live a quiet life, keeping his true identity undercover, but when they pushed him too far, they awakened the beast within him.
Now, the same in-laws who used him as a punching bag are nothing but stepping stones beneath his feet. The so-called rich and powerful young masters who mocked him? They now bow before him, trembling in fear. His wife, who never saw his worth can only watch in shock as he becomes the most influential man in the city.
Ethan is done being the fool everyone laughs at. He will show them what true power looks like. And this time, he’s the one throwing the punches.

Chapter: CHAPTER TENEthan didn’t have to say a word. With just a subtle signal, the head doctor immediately understood. By the way, this was his family’s hospital, and as someone who had worked there for years, the doctor recognized Ethan at first glance. He knew better than to ask unnecessary questions or show any sign of disrespect. Offending the heir to the Cole family was the same as throwing away his career and future. With that understanding, the doctor quickly adjusted his behavior. He straightened his posture, his tone becoming much more respectful as he addressed Clara and her people. “There’s no need to worry anymore. The hospital will proceed with the treatment immediately.” The doctor said and left to begin the treatment. Clara and the others were stunned. Even Vincent’s face contorted. Why would the hospital suddenly change its mind? Did this mean Ethan was actually powerful and influential? But that was impossible… right? Vincent, unwilling to acknowledge the truth, quickly took the c

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE A tall handsome man stepped inside. His dark, neatly styled hair and the confident air around him made the people nearby steal glances. His suit was expensive, perfectly tailored to fit his broad shoulders and trim waist, and his expression carried an arrogance that made it clear he was used to being admired. It was Vincent Cross, the supposed young master of the Cross family. He had once been the man Clara was expected to marry before she had ended up with Ethan instead. Now, seeing her standing there, her face pale with worry, he smirked slightly. Clara felt her stomach tighten when she saw him. Right now, she had no time to think about the past. Her mother, Margaret, was fighting for her life in the ICU, and they were out of options. If Vincent was here and willing to help, then she had to put her pride aside. Elena, who had been anxiously pacing back and forth, immediately rushed toward him, her expression shifting from desperation to forced relief. “Vincent! It’s you! Oh, tha

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT Ethan stepped out of the Royal Prestige Boutique. He had expected Racheal to be furious with him, but that didn’t stop him from following after her. Racheal was walking briskly toward the parking lot, her heels were clicking sharply against the pavement, and her shoulders were tense with barely contained anger. Ethan quickened his pace, closing the distance between them, finally reaching out and grabbing her wrist gently. “Clara, wait,” Ethan said. “Just listen to me for a second.” Racheal yanked her hand away as if his touch burned her. She spun around, her eyes blazing with rage. “Listen to you?” Racheal spat, her tone dripping with disdain. “Ethan, do you even realize what you’ve done? You disgraced me in front of Camille and her husband! Do you think I’ll ever be able to show my face in front of them again?” Ethan’s brows furrowed slightly. “Disgraced you?” he repeated, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief. “Racheal, I;” “Listen!” Racheal interrupted, throwing up her hand

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN Racheal felt her face heat up the moment Ethan spoke. Her body stiffened, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard. Had he lost his mind? Was he trying to embarrass her in front of Camille and her husband? Ethan had always been someone Racheal couldn’t understand. He never acted like a normal person should. Instead of being humble and knowing his place, he always found a way to bring unnecessary attention to himself. Now, in front of Camille, he had the audacity to act like he could afford anything from this luxurious boutique? Racheal shot him a glare. “Ethan, do you even hear yourself? You don’t even have the money to buy a decent meal, and now you’re talking about buying clothes? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself? Or worse, make a fool out of me?” Camille, who had been standing beside her husband, couldn’t hold back her laughter. She covered her mouth, but her shoulders shook as she sneered. “Oh my God, Racheal, is this really your husband? He thinks he can

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXEthan transferred some cash to an ordinary bank card, so as not to draw attention to himself or reveal his true identity. He wanted to remain undercover for a while. He had spent years enduring humiliation and being treated as if he was nothing but a burden in the hands of his in-laws. But all of that was about to change when he finally revealed his identity. He could already picture it in his mind, the shock and the regret. Especially Racheal. She had always seen him as nothing more than a failure, someone who could never stand at the same level as her. But what would she say when she realized that the man she had been looking down on all these years was the one who held the power to save her family from complete ruin? Ethan felt a surge of satisfaction just thinking about it. Straightening up, he pushed the bank door open and stepped out. He needed new clothes. He was still wearing the same old, worn-out clothes, and he knew that if he walked into Racheal’s world looking like thi

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEEthan pushed open the glass doors of Crystal Bank, the bright lights inside were blinding compared to the street outside, and everything around him screamed wealth and power. The floors gleamed like polished mirrors, reflecting the towering marble columns and gold-plated decorations. The air smelled like fresh leather and expensive perfume, making Ethan feel even more out of place. His worn-out clothes were stained with dirt from his fall, and his scuffed shoes squeaked against the floor. Around him, men in expensive suits and women dripping in designer jewelry moved about with cold faces, each one of them looking like they belonged there;unlike him. Ethan barely made it two steps inside when a loud voice rang out from the side. “Hey! You;stop right there!” A thick-bodied security guard with a buzz cut stomped toward him, and his narrowed eyes scanned Ethan from head to toe, a sneer curling on his lips. “What do you think you’re doing here? Beggars like you don’t belong in a p
