In the bustling city of Pras, Allen is an unremarkable door - in son - in - law.
Three years ago, he became a door - in son - in - law of the Mill family and has since lived a life of being looked down upon and mocked.
The Mill family is a somewhat well - known family business in Pras, but Allen has no status at all in this family.
He does all kinds of odd jobs every day, and even the family's nanny looks down on him.
Three years ago, the head of the Mill family brought Allen back and insisted on marrying his granddaughter Mia to him.
At that time, Allen was penniless, almost like a beggar.
After the two got married, the head of the Mill family passed away. From that time on, the members of the Mill family wanted to drive him away.
No matter how others insulted him, Allen remained unmoved and just continued to live in the Mill family.
When Allen got home, his mother - in - law snorted coldly, "A good - for - nothing, still have the nerve to come back!"
If Mia hadn't married you, we wouldn't have been driven out of the villa.
Allen said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
The mother - in - law cursed, "It's more than just causing trouble.
You're trying to take the lives of our family of three!"
"Can't you have some self - awareness and get out of our house now?"
Mia quickly said, Mom, how can you talk like that? Allen is your son - in - law!
The mother - in - law said,Nonsense! I don't have such a poor son - in - law! The farther away he gets, the better!
Mia pulled Allen back to the room.
He and Mia have been married for three years, but they haven't had a marital relationship in these three years.
Mia sleeps on the bed, and he sleeps on the floor next to it.
Today is the Mill family's family dinner. Allen is wearing an old suit that has been washed until it is somewhat faded. He is not good at such occasions at all. In the face of the high - falutin talks around him, he can only stand silently by the side.
Carlson came over with a group of cronies, with a malicious smile on his face.
He put his arm around Allen's shoulder and deliberately said in a loud voice, Look at my brother - in - law, he's finally dressed decently today.
But no matter how he dresses, he's just a good - for - nothing leeching off others. Hearing this, people around cast (strange looks) at them, accompanied by whispers and low laughter. Allen's face instantly turned red. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, his heart filled with anger and humiliation. But he still endured it and didn't lose his temper.Just then, a distant relative of the Mill family came over.
Holding a wine glass and sizing up Allen with a sideways glance, he said, "I heard you've been married into the Mill family for three years and haven't achieved anything. Why did the Mill family pick such a son - in - law like you?" His words were full of mockery. Allen opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but found his throat blocked as if something was stuck, unable to say a word.Seeing this, Carlson picked up a glass of wine and suddenly splashed it all over Allen.
He laughed loudly, "A person like you doesn't deserve to attend our Mill family's banquet at all!Why don't you hurry up and go to the kitchen to help!"
The wine stains trickled down Allen's clothes, and his hair was also wet with wine, making him look extremely(embarrassed). People around burst into loud laughter, and some even took out their phones to take photos. Looking at the scene before him, Allen's grievance and anger reached their peak. He felt that his dignity had been completely trampled underfoot. But he knew that in this family, he had no ability to resist and could only silently turn around and walk towards the back kitchen. His back looked so lonely and forlorn, as if abandoned by the whole world.After finishing his work, Allen left the Mill family villa alone. While walking on the road, suddenly a Rolls - Royce stopped beside him.
A man in a black suit with slightly gray hair, about fifty years old, got out of the car. The man bowed to him and said, "Young Master, I've finally found you. You've suffered so much all these years!"Allen frowned, his entire demeanor seemingly transformed, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you Kendall?"
The other man said happily, "Young Master, you still remember me!" Allen replied, "Of course I do! I remember each and every one of you!" Back then, it was you who forced my parents to flee Neon City with me.My parents died in an accident during the escape, and I became an orphan.
What do you want from me now?
Kendall said, "Young Master, when your father passed away, your grandfather was overcome with grief. He has been searching for you all these years. Now, please come back with me to see him! Allen said coldly, Just leave. I will never see him as long as I live. Kendall asked, Young Master, do you still blame your grandfather? Of course! I will never forgive him for the rest of my life! Sigh... Before I came, the Old Master said you might not forgive him. He knows you've suffered these years and asked me to make amends. He asked me to give you this card. The password is your birthday. Kendall handed over a top-tier black card from Phil Bank and said, Young Master, there are only five such cards in the entire country. Allen frowned and said, Take it away. I don't want it. Kendall pleaded, Please accept it, Young Master.The Old Master knows you've endured so many grievances these years.
If you don't take it, he won't let me return to Neon City. Allen asked, How much money is in this card?Latest Chapter
Chapter 742 Return to Plus City
After finishing his words, he glanced at Juliet and said awkwardly, The patriarch also said that if the Bruce alliance falls through, Miss Juliet would be the perfect alternative.Juliet’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment.Alan, however, spoke in a frigid tone: When my father was condemned by everyone, instead of shielding our family from hardship, he drove us away. Now he expects me to lift the Smith Family to new heights? It is nothing but a fool’s fantasy!Kendall nodded and said, Young Master, the patriarch’s actions were indeed excessive, yet you need not let anger consume you. On the contrary, this presents a perfect chance to turn his scheme against him. You could agree to formalize your betrothal with Miss Juliet, then use this opportunity to demand more resources from him on behalf of the Smith Family. If you become the next patriarch of the Smith Family, your odds of defeating the Bruce Family will improve drastically!Become the patriarch of the Smith Fam

With that, Kendall heaved a sigh and went on. But even when your father was a young man, foreign trade carried out by domestic entrepreneurs remained largely unchanged from the Tang and Song dynasties, lacking any sophisticated expertise. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans had mastered cross-border finance to perfection—stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital; these were their core trump cards back then.While Asian nations were slaving away manufacturing goods to trade overseas and scrape together profits bit by bit, Western hedge funds flooded Asia with massive hot money, wreaking havoc everywhere. They could trigger financial crises and legally seize the fruits of an Asian country’s labor accumulated over years, even decades, sending its finance, stock market and real estate market crashing down all at once.Back then, the Field Family set their sights on exploiting major domestic clans. When everyone else could only stand by and be victimized
Chapter 740 Father’s Past Part 1
As the chief steward of the Smith Family, Kendall was an influential figure in Neon City. Save for the handful of top-tier clans, the patriarchs of all other families treated him with the utmost deference. Thanks to his standing, his teahouse thrived, drawing crowds of prominent socialites who came to patronize the place.When Alan arrived at Huguang Guild Hall, Kendall had already gotten there ahead of him.He waited personally at the entrance, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Alan accompanied by a woman wearing a face mask.Having operated deep within Neon City’s elite circles for years, Kendall possessed an extraordinary eye for detail. He recognized at a single glance that the masked woman beside Alan was none other than Juliet, the heiress of the Austin Family.Overwhelmed with delight, he exclaimed excitedly, Young Master, Miss Juliet! What a surprise to see the two of you together!Juliet let out a soft chuckle. Uncle Kendall, I disguised myself this well, yet you still sa
Chapter 739 Marriage Alliance Part 2
The rest of the clan chimed in one after another, their reasoning plain and simple: Alan had grown up in humble circumstances and was simply unworthy of the eldest young lady of the Bruce Family.Domingo wore a sneering look as he spoke. Father, even though Alan is Second Brother’s son, he’s exactly what young people nowadays call a nobody. How could such a man ever compare to a peerless beauty like Louise?Seeing every single person speaking out in opposition, the old Smith patriarch let out a cold snort and said, Do any of you know that Louise’s mother—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bruce Family—once would have died for John? She chased after him relentlessly for years. If John had given her his consent back then, she would have become the second daughter-in-law of the Smith Family. Even now, she visits John’s grave to pay her respects every single year. Do any of you understand what it means to love someone so much that you grow fond of everything connected to them?His words se
Chapter 738 Marriage Alliance Part 1
That’s right, Gaston, Alan’s male cousin, cut in. I’ve crossed paths with Louise from the Bruce Family before. She’s an icy, reserved woman who rarely attends social events. Countless high-society galas at home and abroad have sent her elaborate invitations, yet she’s turned every single one down. Courting her would be next to impossible. On top of that, I already have a formal engagement. If I pursued her, the Bruces would see right through my ulterior motives.Wendell, the eldest son of Domingo—the third brother and one of Alan’s younger cousins—could not hide his eagerness as he spoke up. Grandfather, let me give it a try!Mitchell glanced at his nephew, whose features were plain and unremarkable, and shook his head. Wendell, the Bruce Family already stands stronger than us. Even Gaston, our eldest grandson, might not be deemed worthy in their eyes—what chance do you have?Domingo’s tone turned sour. Eldest brother, there’s no need to speak like that. Who laid down a rule that the
Chapter 737 The Marriage Contract
Alan patted the back of her hand and smiled. That’s just how life is—one must stand firm through extreme highs and crushing lows. If a person is showered with flattery their entire life, they may never grasp the cruelty of the world or the hardships ordinary people endure. Such a person will likely suffer a devastating loss someday. Unlike me, I’ve seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity ever since I turned eight. All those experiences are an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.Juliet nodded softly, big teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.Her heart ached deeply for the life Alan had led over the past decade and more. Even though he spoke of it so casually, every time she thought about his past, a lump would form in her throat.He was the young heir of the Smith Family, yet he’d been cast adrift in Plus City, suffering through the harshest hardships of society’s lowest rung. Juliet could not fathom how he’d endured all those years.Though she was younger tha
