The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law

Chapter 3: The Favoritism of Old Brown

Standing beside his grandfather, Robert Brown was taken aback.

He knew well that the Ruby pendant was not the one lost by the Brown family.

The entire Brown family was familiar with old Brown's entrepreneurial tale, and they knew that nothing was more important to him than recovering the two Ruby pendants.

Therefore, he had gone to great lengths to forge this Ruby pendant.

Seeing that his grandpa was siding with him, Robert was instantly relieved of his worries.

"You, a useless son-in-law, have an understanding of jewels? This unique treasure, I guess you've never even seen one before, dare to question?"

"Where is the security? Security, aren't you going to get this troublemaker out of the banquet?"

Robert Brown yelled at Jason Gray, feigning rage.

"James, you really should discipline your useless son-in-law. He's causing a ruckus at the Brown family gathering again and again!"

Anthony Brown, Robert's father, also stood up and shouted at Susan's father. He knew that once his son became the family's heir, he would enjoy countless benefits.

In the face of Anthony's words, James wanted to fight back, but he knew his position in the family and eventually lowered his head.

Susan met Jason's gaze. His determined eyes seemed different from the Jason she had known.

Coupled with his unmasking of Christopher, an absurd idea surfaced in Susan's mind.

She should trust him!

Gathering her courage, Susan stood up and faced the murderous gaze of Robert Brown and the ridicule of the guests. She said to old Brown

"Grandpa, please re-evaluate the authenticity of the Ruby pendant!"

"Susan, enough! I've already verified it. This is the heirloom of our family."

Old Brown's eyes were cold, devoid of the affection he showed towards Robert.

"Susan, you shouldn't be jealous of Robert's talents. He is incomparable to you and Jason. Whether it is real or fake, he will be the king of the Browns in the future!"

Susan clenched her fists, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, feeling a little aggrieved and unwilling.

She was obviously more talented and had been worked harder than Robert, who only knew how to enjoy himself.

At this moment, Robert realized that old Brown, an expert in jewelry appraisal, had already known the authenticity of his ruby pendant. But his grandpa chose to protect him.

Robert pointed at Susan and proclaimed loudly to the guests.

"You two despicable guys who are sensationalizing and fooling the guests, you are an embarrassment to the Browns and should be expelled from the family!"

Knowing old Brown's intentions, Robert looked at his grandfather with a respectful face and said.

"Grandpa, Jason Gray and Susan Brown have openly slandered me at the Brown Group's 70th anniversary banquet. Please do justice for me!"

Old Brown felt more satisfied with Robert.

Obviously, he also wanted to remove any obstacles to Robert taking over the Brown Group.

However, in front of of all the Browns, he had to behave fairly and show elder's benevolence.

"Jason Gray, you maliciously obstruct the announcement of the heir, so you are now not a member of the Browns anymore!"

Old Brown then turned to Susan, whose face looked pale.

"Susan, you failed to discipline your useless husband, and even caused trouble for us. You should be punished as well. From now on, your position at the company has been terminated!"

Old Brown's words seemed righteous and stern, giving no one a chance to refute.

"Jason Gray is really a waste, causing trouble by himself is bad enough, now he's even implicated Susan."

"Susan is indeed pitiful. After all, she was once the number one beauty in Emerald City and ended up marrying such a waste!"

The guests sighed, feeling sorry for Susan, while the Brown family members were indifferent. They had already chosen to support Robert, naturally hoping to see him smoothly take over the Brown Group.

Facing the favoritism of old Brown and the sighs of the guests, Susan was completely desperate. She should not have trusted Jason.

He never changed, he was still the same waste as before!

Thinking back on the grievances and exclusions she had suffered over the past three years, she had managed the Branch company for the family when it was on the brink of bankruptcy. She had exhausted her energy for three years, without receiving any benefits.

Now that the Branch's business was on track and it was the perfect time for development, she was about to be removed from her position.

She was once the foremost beauty in Emerald City, with numerous suitors, and a strong contender for the family heir.

However, when she married to Jason Gray, she had to endure countless humiliations and grievance.

Thinking back on everything, tears quietly gathered in Susan's eyes. Her gaze at Jason was filled with helplessness and despair.

Her tears could no longer be restrained, sliding down her cheeks. She knew that from now on, she would be completely ostracized by the Brown family.

"Hmph! It was a mistake to have appointed you as the director of the branch. Rest at home from tomorrow !" Old Brown showed no mercy.

Seeing her daughter's company being taken back and their family's source of income completely cut off, Susan's mother, Mary Martinez, was completely desperate.

She angrily yelled at Jason, "It's all your fault, you useless man! You've been freeloading in my house for three years, and now you've caused Susan to lose her position!"

"Ah! It's all your fault!" She shouted hysterically.

She ran to old Brown, "Dad, please, don't dismiss Susan. It's all Jason Gray's fault. I'll kick him out of the Brown family tomorrow. They must divorce!"

Old Mr. Brown ignored this frantic woman directly.

Mary Martinez collapsed on the floor, looking at the guests and relatives around her, all with an indifferent attitude.

"Jason, my life has been ruined by you. I am really regretful! How I wish I hadn’t married you!"

Hearing Susan’s sad cry and seeing the tears on her face, Jason felt extremely angry at this ruthless family.

What his wife was suffering at this moment was exactly what he had suffered in the Wesley family ten year ago.

He clenched his fists, swearing in his heart, “Susan, no one can hurt you this time! And no one will be able to bully you in the future! ”

The three-year restriction period was almost over and the ‘tiger’ was about to be released...

Just as old Brown was about to announce the final punishment for Susan and Jason for the second time, there was a sudden screech of brakes outside the door!

"The Wesley family has arrived, bringing lots of bride price for Miss Brown, the future young hostess of Wesley family..."
