The elevation of the zillionaire Son-In-law
"I'm not going to compromise my values for the sake of money," Tony said, refusing to be cowed by Lady Lugard's wealth and influence. "I will not allow myself to be controlled or influenced by your family."
Tony faced Lady Lugard head-on, his voice firm and resolute.
The Lugard family was taken aback by Tony's boldness, but they were not deterred. "You will regret this decision," Lady Lugard said, her voice cold and menacing.
Two weeks later,
_________________________
"Tony, please, we are begging you to help us save our company," Lady Lugard pleaded, her voice full of desperation. "You are our last hope, our only chance to avoid ruin. Please, help us."
A young man, Tony Eduardo, has a loving and respectful relationship with his wife and her family, but he doesn't receive the same amount of affection in return. When his beloved grandmother falls ill, he asks his mother-in-law for financial assistance, but she gives him an ultimatum: divorce his wife on their third wedding anniversary or receive no help. Tony rejects the money and leaves the Lugard family mansion, unaware of the new fate that awaits him outside of the Lugard household - one that will change his life forever.

Before Collins was buried, Tony was given the opportunity to give the last remark."It's been two weeks since your passing my dear friend , I'm still in doubt that you're done. I look at my door everyday waiting for you to walk through the door but you never do," Tony said with tears dripping from his eyes. He was in so much pain and couldn't believe that Collins was gone, never to return "I’ll never forget you, and every day I’m thankful for your love and friendship, how you stocked with me even in my darkest moments, you encourage like nobody else. You were the first person

"He should be locked in jail and never allowed to see the light of day, for what he did,"one of the guests said in disgust and despair for the dead Mr Collins."Jail alone is just too good for someone like him, he should be given the death sentence, no negotiation,"another guest said as she sighed in disgust. How can a human being do this to a fellow human?The big boss shifted uneasily in his seat, he never knew that Tony would find out what Mr Richard did. He had cautioned him immediately and everything had been do

Chapter: CHAPTER 168-THE WAITCHAPTER 168-THE WAITThis is going to be one dirty, vicious battle but he was ready for anything that comes with it. Tony got up and walked to where his laptop was. He opened it and started typing away.After sometime, Tony picked up his phone and put a call across to the guy that has been helping him,"Hello Didi , we're going to change the plans now, we need to start implementing everything that we have found so far,"Tony said all in one go."Are you sure it is time for you to do this, are you really sure about this,"Didi said from his end. He heard the News about Collins passing and he knows that must have affected Tony badly, hence his decision.

Chapter: Chapter 167- BROKENCHAPTER 167BROKEN “Good afternoon everyone, today the 8th of November a body was found along the Grapevine secluded road and the body was confirmed to be the body of one Mr Collins a 32-year-old. At that point, Tony turned to the TV and found Collins's pictures being displayed as the dead victim.”Tony was so heartbroken. How could they do this to Collins? He was in a state of despair, and he was so angry. His face was still focused on the TV; the graphics of Collins were displayed on the screen, and the pictures were a big blow to him.The pictures were a disaster; the media people took their time to take the images, and photographs showed his hands and fingernails that were pulled off, this was so inhumane."How could they do this to a human being? His fingers were pulled off for both his legs and hands before finally cutting off his left hand. The victim must have been in excruciating pain and must have felt helpless that there was no one to save him," the newscaster said. Her ex

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and twenty one The butler was still whispering to Elvis when a sharp, commanding voice thundered from upstairs.“Old man! Old man! Come here immediately!” The butler’s head snapped up toward the staircase, and his entire body went stiff. The sound of Jeremy’s voice echoed through the mansion like a warning bell.Elvis frowned deeply. “This guy is really, really rude,” he muttered under his breath, shaking his head. “I think the best thing we can do is put him in his place.”The butler turned quickly, panic flashing in his eyes. “Please, young master,” he said as he dropped to his knees, his voice trembling. “Please, don’t do anything. Don’t confront him. I’ll handle it, I promise. Please.”“But he’s out of line,” Elvis said, his voice low but heavy with controlled anger. “You can’t just let him—”“Please, Elvis,” the butler cut in again, lowering his head. “Please, don’t worry. I’ve dealt with worse. I’ll put up with him, no matter how he behaves. Just let me handle this.”Elvis clenched his jaw an

Chapter: chapter Hundred and twenty Elvis leaned back on the chair, his eyes fixed on the butler. There was a quiet storm behind his calm expression—confusion, curiosity, and a tinge of disappointment. The silence between them stretched long enough to be felt, broken only by the soft ticking of the wall clock.Finally, Elvis spoke, his tone quiet but edged with emotion. “You seem like someone who’s afraid of him,” he said, tilting his head slightly toward the stairs where Jeremy had gone. “I’ve never seen you feel fear in the presence of anyone before. I’ve only ever known you as a strong, composed man… someone who knows how to handle every situation.” His eyes narrowed a little, searching the butler’s face. “So why does someone like him—someone whose father left home years ago—send so much fear into you?”The butler exhaled deeply, his shoulders sagging. He sat down slowly on the chair beside Elvis, folding his hands together. His voice was calm but carried a tremor of something deeper. “Young master,” he said softly,

Chapter: chapter hundred and Nineteen Jeremy’s smirk lingered as he threw the half-burnt cigarette into a tray and dusted his palms like a man claiming ownership of the room. Then, with a slight stretch of his arm, he pointed toward his suitcase at the door.“You,” he said sharply, his eyes locking on the butler, “carry my suitcase upstairs. Put it in one of the rooms at the back. I think it’s time the rightful owner of this house takes his place again.”The butler hesitated, his lips parting slightly as if he wanted to say something. His old hands twitched nervously, and for a brief moment, he stood still, looking from Jeremy to the suitcase and then at Elvis. His silence said it all—weariness, confusion, and reluctant obedience. But without another word, he finally walked toward the door, bent slightly, and picked up the suitcase.Just as he turned to climb the stairs, Jeremy’s voice echoed again, filled with mockery. “Wait a second, old man,” he said with a half grin. “Why are you the one carrying the suitcase? Why is

Chapter: Chapter One hundred and eighteen "You don’t look excited to see me, old man!" Jeremy said sarcastically the moment he stepped into the mansion, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. He dropped his coat on the couch without care, his tone dripping with mockery.The butler turned slowly from where he stood. His wrinkled face showed no anger—only surprise, perhaps even disbelief. "Not really, sir," he said quietly. "It’s just that it’s been years, and the way you and your father left back then was almost like disappearing into thin air."Jeremy’s brow arched sharply. "So, are you trying to say I’m not welcome here?" he asked, his tone sharp and deliberately provoking. He stepped closer, his boots echoing on the floor."No, Jeremy… I’m just surprised!" the butler replied quickly, his voice trembling slightly as he clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect.Jeremy chuckled mockingly. "The last time I checked, you were just my uncle’s most trusted servant. So what gave you the right to call me by my

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and seventeen "Young master... thank you... thank you!" The butler exclaimed the moment he saw Elvis walking into the mansion. His old face lit up like someone who had just seen the sun after a long winter. He bowed slightly, trying to hide the tears that welled in his eyes."The emperor has been more than excited. He couldn’t stop singing your praises on the phone. This will surely make the war goddess fall deeply in love with you once she finds out the truth about your identity!" he said, his voice bubbling with joy.Elvis said nothing. His steps were slow and calm as he moved across the polished floor. His expression remained unreadable, his eyes cold and distant. The chandeliers above threw a golden hue on his face, but even the light couldn’t melt the stillness that lived there."You must be exhausted, young master," the butler continued, following behind carefully. "I’ll ask the servants to attend to you at once, and later, I’ll come share a good news with you."Elvis stopped halfway up the s

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and sixteen “The moment I saw your call, I knew it was trouble, War Goddess Sophia Modudus,” Victor said with a frustrating tone, his eyes narrowing as he dropped into the chair across from her.Sophia sat with perfect posture, her face unreadable, her long fingers tracing the rim of her glass. Her cold gaze met his, steady and commanding. “I neither fancy talking to someone like you nor do I see a reason to pretend. You’re one of those wealthy, spoiled brats who can’t stand without family influence. So no, Victor Escobar, I don’t rate you that much,” she said flatly, her voice dripping with quiet authority.Victor’s jaw tightened. He wanted to respond, to defend himself, but something about her presence silenced him. There was power in her stillness, danger in her calm. Behind her stood two soldiers—broad, silent, armed. Their mere presence reminded him that she was not someone to test.Sophia leaned slightly forward, her lips curving in a faint smirk. “Anyway, let’s go to why we’re here. I woul
