Chapter 1: Everything Is Lost
On the wide streets of the City of Darian, a crowd of people could be seen whispering at each other as they watched the drama happening across the street near a prestigious hospital.
A rather gorgeous lady with a pair of bright green eyes, indicating she's a foreigner.At that moment, she was shouting at a fat man whose weight could easily be compared to three adult men, and to add insult to injury, he was wearing worn-out clothes, making the gossiping crowd throw disgusting and judging eyes at him.Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed, as fatty Sett was slapped across the face by the gorgeous lady. "I've had enough with you, Sett!" She pointed at his nose. Her face brewed in rage."This marriage was a mistake! If I had known that you were useless and poor..... What kind of future could you even give me? I highly doubt you can accomplish anything in life. You're just a spineless coward who can't even talk back and defend himself against his family even after being bullied for so long! Are you even a man?" She screamed at his face, then bit her lip in anger."Do you expect me to be with a worthless man like you? Dream on! You are not worthy of me, Sett! You don't even know how to take care of yourself; you're purposeless!" She vehemently said.At this point, however, Sett, who was long numb, was not listening to his wife's rants anymore. His thoughts were drawn away from what happened a few hours ago.At that time, he was about to head to a nearby convenience store to apply for a part job after being kicked out of the mall as a janitor, not knowing that a terrible accident had ensued, as he received a call from the police station informing him of his parents' accident. The shock and fear of what happened to his parents propelled him to rush toward the hospital's location, as he felt his beating heart bursting with anxiety.He didn't even pay the cab driver due to him panicking. When he reached the medical wards and saw his parents' condition, he nearly fainted.Even now, as he blankly looked at his wife, who was in front of him, the words of the nurse were still echoing in his head."Your parents are in a coma and they need immediate surgery. Please understand that we will need you to deposit half of the necessary amount before we can proceed with the surgery."What the doctor said at that time was still fresh in his head.Just then, his thoughts were abruptly pulled back as he heard his wife, Sheila Laurel, screaming right at him."You fat bastard, how dare you ignore me?!" Sheila was breathing hard in resentment. Her finger was poking at Fatty Sett's forehead. She became even more furious when she saw Fatty Sett bowing his head without saying anything, being a pushover."I’m so sorry, My Love ." Sett looked away. He didn't dare to look his wife in the eye as he felt ashamed of himself.Although their marriage was only to solidify the relationship between the two distinguished families, it was only by name, and he wasn't allowed to touch her. Their relationship was not at all harmonious.The Laurel family has recently grown in strength, and they will soon be regarded as a first-rate family in Darian City. However, the situation wasn't like this before.
After all, his father, Charles Crossword, came from the Crossword Family, a relatively powerful organization, known throughout Darian City.
His father was next in line to inherit his grandfather, Francisco Crossword's, position as the head of the family, and even if the Laurel family would not honor the marriage after they became a first-rate family, they would still consider his face.
But who would've thought that his grandfather would instead strip off all his father's privileges about a year ago?Now the Laurel family has all the more reason not to honor the marriage.
Either way, Sett was then forced to quit college and look for a job to help support his family, while his parents, who couldn't get a job even after begging other companies, ended up as waste collectors who pick up trash on the city’s roadside.It was a disgrace to their name. Everyone mocked them. Also, since his younger sibling was still in high school, he desperately needed to earn money.
As time went on, he became a useless fat guy who everyone made fun of.At the age of twenty, the year he was supposed to become an intern with a bright future ahead of him, all faded into oblivion as fate decided to play a joke on him. Now, all he could see was his very bleak future, and on top of that, his parents had an accident that nearly killed them. No one could have thought that the once-young master of the Crossword family would suffer such a terrible fate and end up like this.At this moment, he raises his head to look at his wife’s once beautiful, very gentle, and meek face. But now? It was like he was being splashed with sharp and venomous words.He let out a small chuckle, which angered his wife further, but he was too numb to care, or even listen to her ranting. All he could do was to keep apologizing, all because he still loved her dearly and couldn't bring himself to hate her."Don't you ever dare call me “My Love” again! Here! This is all the money I can lend to you. Don’t you ever contact me again! I feel disgusted hearing your voice! The audacity you have to even dare to contact me." She took out a couple of bucks from her Louis Vuitton leather maiden bag then she threw money on Sett's worn-out shirt. The dollars scattered as it slowly fell to the ground."Hmmph!" She felt repulsed when standing beside him. She turned her heels away as she pressed her luxurious Bugatti's remote controlled key. As the car's door opened, she drove away without looking back while the crowd's fiery eyes gazed at her million-dollar Buggati, leaving behind Sett with a handprint across his chubby face.The people’s gossiping voices started to amplify. Their judgemental eyes were fixed on Sett like knives piercing through his skin.Some were even taking pictures and video recordings all while this scene was happening.
"That fatty was dumped by that pretty lady. If I was that girl, I'd do the same. A pig like him should never dream of eating swan meat." The crowd piped up.Expand

Underestimated Son In Law Chapter 187: Saving Nostalgia
Jane was discussing the plan to everyone, which took a lengthy amount of time to properly formulate in order to avoid any kind of problems with the plan. Sett was also listening very closely as he was assigned a very crucial role in the plan. He was assigned as Azula’s compulsory plus one, which Azula agreed since Sett isn’t a Sapphire House subordinate.After everything fell into place, and everyone agreeing to their assigned positions, the meeting was finally adjourned. Azula dismissed the twelve and instructed them to start the preparations immediately, while letting Jane and Sett stay for there was something that she wishes to address to the both of them in private.As the twelve finally left the room, the atmosphere suddenly became breathable again, aside from the sudden silence that filled the air. Azula and Jane just sat there, not uttering a single word and just waiting on whoever breaks the silence first.Sett then thought of something mischievous that made him smirk.“Hey, A

Dear Ms. Rowena Azula Crow I am writing this letter to request personnel from the Sapphire House for an upcoming mission. I only ask for one individual, and I request that it would be you, Ms. Crow. Before we start with the formal briefing for the mission, I would like to Test your capabilities first, since the latest aid that I requested proved to be incompetent. Mock Training will begin tomorrow at the Emerald House’ Training Grounds. I’ll be expecting your attendance tomorrow, at 7pm. Please be there on time. Sincerely yours: Roman Isaac Crow“And that’s that.” Azula said as she finished reading the letter. “The nerve of that brat to ask for another assistance request.” she added.After Azula folded the letter back inside its envelope. Everyone inside the room stared at her, a

Sett left the Medical Room, leaving Jessica inside. As he was walking down the hallway, he was contemplating everything that he had learned so Far. Even though he was feeling a bit at ease because he had learned so much about his real family, it was still a lot of information to take in for someone who just arrived the very same day.By the time that Sett finally got time for himself, it was already almost midnight. He decided that he should just call it a day and go to his room to rest. He walked back towards the lobby to head upstairs and finally hit the hayAs Sett was about to go up the stairs, the sound of knocking suddenly resonated across the whole lobby, there was no one there other than himself so he opened the door. The moment he opened up the door, there was no one there. The only thing that’s there was a sealed envelope.It was addressed to his Aunt Zula, but he thought that she was already asleep. He closed the door and decided that he should keep this letter for now and

Sett raised his eyebrows in confusion as response to Jessica's statement. It was as if she was expecting that he would ask her about it then and there. She finished tidying up the equipment then grabbed a chair to sit next to Sett. Her eagerness was as if she was a child, trying to share something she just knew to her parents.“So how much do you currently know about it?” Jessica meticulously asked before sharing everything she knew to Sett.Sett was a little bit surprised and curious about how much she actually knew about. Intrigued with whatever information that she could give, he decided to lay down a brief and still non-detailed outline of everything he knew, still leaving some parts hidden for Azula’s sake.As Sett finished the information dropping, Jessica gave her a skeptical look. She had a hunch that there was some information that Sett withheld from her, which was understandable. She didn’t want to pry on whatever it was he and his aunt talked about upstairs. She knew that

“You’re joking, right?” Sett asked in bewilderment of the sudden revelation that just presented itself to him.His statement somehow managed to anger Jessica even more. She paced herself slowly towards where Sett was standing with clenched fists, ready to bust his head again. With her choosing violence as her response, Sett was forced to apologize for his statement earlier to avoid any other conflict to arise.“I should be the one to ask you that you prick!” Jessica naggingly said to Sett. “There’s no way that you’ve spent all that time at Mother Azula’s office, and not learned of the foundational rules that your house has!” she added.“I did learn a little bit about the foundational rules, but…” Sett was cutted off mid sentence.“See! Now you admit that you do know about the House’ foundational rules! But why the fuck didn’t you use that and deny Young Master Roman’s request, huh?!” Jessica furiously said.Though Sett was getting a little irritated with Jessica’s aggressive accusatio

“Oh, my apologies Sett! I must have been hit by the memories of old a little too strongly.” Azula said as she wiped the tears off her face.However, Sett wasn’t convinced by such reasons. Sure, you could cry when you’re hit with nostalgia, but that is out of a joyful, euphoric feeling that overwhelms you to the brink of crying. But in Azula’s case, Sett noticed that her tears weren’t a product of such positive feelings.In fact it was the total opposite. Sett sensed that, the moment he saw her eyes devoid of life. An imperfect match for her ocean blue eyes, that seemed so full of life. He thought that whatever was bothering her, seemed like a burden that was still weighing down his Aunt, even until now.“Are you sure you’re alright Aunty?” Sett asks, deeply in concern for what Azula is feeling.Azula just looked at Sett with heavy laden eyes. She wanted to tell him about what really happened to his dad. However, it was still too early for him to know the truth. If he’d learn about it
