My Son-in-Law is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 14
"No—no, please!" Selene struggled to push Matthew away, but her strength had long since abandoned her. Her limbs felt numb and powerless, as if the life had drained out of her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move him.In that moment, a single thought filled her mind—Scott. She missed him so much it hurt. All those times before, when others had tried to touch her, Scott had always been there, waiting outside the banquet hall, keeping watch, and protecting her. Even if he wasn't some powerful figure—just an ordinary man—as long as he was there, no one could hurt her. No one would dare.Only now did she realize just how weak she was. How insignificant. How helpless. All she could do was cry—tears of regret, of bitter self-reproach—streaming down her face. Deep in her heart, she called out to him again and again, 'Scott. Scott. Save me. Please.'"Ha! Cry all you want!" Matthew's laughter rang out. "I love it when women like you cry. The more you cry, the more e

But her body was drained of all strength. She couldn't utter a single word.Without hesitation, Scott slipped off his jacket and gently draped it over Selene's shoulders. The sight of her tear-streaked face pierced his heart in a way he hadn't anticipated. He had long told himself that their connection was over, that he would draw a clean line between them—but in this moment, he couldn't stop himself. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. He knew she must've been so scared, that she needed his warmth more than anything now."You're safe now," he said softly, his voice the gentlest it had ever been. "I'm here. I'm right here."The warmth of his embrace spread through her like a quiet flame, melting the icy terror that had gripped her heart. For the first time, Selene felt a warmth she had never known—a warmth that seemed to unravel something deep within her. In that moment, the man she had always dismissed and despised slipped effortlessly into her heart."Mr. Radley!

"I…"Selene opened her mouth, about to say that even if Scott were still a failure, she would feel the same. But just as the words reached her lips, she hesitated.Would she, though?The answer was clear—no, she wouldn't.If Scott were still the same useless guy, would she be here now? Would she even spare him a glance?Of course not.Let alone sleeping with him, she wouldn't even want to acknowledge his existence.Her reaction only deepened Scott's pain. He wasn't a naive young man anymore, yet he still believed in love—real love. He longed for it. The reason he had fallen for Selene in the first place was because she had once been simple, innocent, and pure.But this? This was not love.This reeked of money.If Selene had taken things slow, if she hadn't rushed to reconcile with him the moment she realized he was rich, perhaps he could have come to accept her again, little by little. But now? The eagerness, the desperation—what was it driven by?Feelings?Bullshit.It

"Gather our men. Stop them at all costs. They must not be allowed to enter!"Spencer felt a flicker of unease. Once a small-time hoodlum, he had climbed his way up with Scott's help, becoming the head of Redrts Group and a multi-millionaire. Even after amassing his fortune, he had always treaded carefully around the underworld figures of Hazeld City, never daring to confront them directly.Hazeld City was situated along the coast. It was a place of booming economic growth but also a breeding ground for drifters and gangsters. Ordinary businessmen wouldn't dare oppose them—especially someone like him, who had risen too quickly to have firm roots in the city.If Scott weren't here, he would have let Matthew go without hesitation, perhaps even offering a hefty sum in compensation. But with Scott present, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and stand his ground."There's no need," Scott said unexpectedly. "Let them in."Spencer's brow furrowed. "Sir, we shouldn't! If they come in,
My Son-in-Law is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 18
Spencer's eyes widened, and his face paled even more.He had just witnessed Scott ruthlessly kick Matthew in the crotch, and while that had made him uneasy, he also couldn't help but admire Scott. A man who could reach such heights with just a few words—Scott was no ordinary person. He had courage, a rare kind of bloodthirsty resolve. Someone like that was destined to be different.But now, Scott was actually offering money to the other party.Spencer had never expected this. Was the man he respected so deeply actually just a coward at heart? Was he really afraid?He had thought Scott would negotiate with Bruce using his sheer presence alone. Instead, he was handing over money—more money than expected.Bruce burst into laughter. "Kid, you sure know how to read the situation. I like that. But I've changed my mind. Give me fifty million, or I'll beat you so bad even your parents won't recognize you." His greed had ballooned. It wasn't every day he ran into such an easy mark—he h

"Roger, you sure got here fast," Scott said, crossing one leg over the other. His expression darkened. "I've been waiting for nearly half an hour. Quite the arrogance, don't you think?"The air around him shifted, his authority pressing down like an invisible weight."Mr. Radley, the moment I received your message, I rushed over as fast as I could. Please forgive me for being late!"At the first sign of Scott's displeasure, Roger's face changed dramatically. He immediately bowed his head, pleading for mercy.Everyone present was stunned. Their jaws nearly hit the floor.Roger—the untouchable Godfather of Westeria—was actually begging for forgiveness? And what's more, the young man before them called him "Roger" so casually, as if addressing a pet.It was a scene so surreal that even in their wildest dreams, they wouldn't have imagined it.Even Spencer, who had long known of Scott's formidable background, was shaken to his core. He had never expected the Radley family's influence
My Son-in-Law is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 20
A sharp slap echoed through the room, followed by another, and another.Roger, the infamous Godfather of Westeria, stood motionless, indifferent to the brutal scene unfolding before him. His own subordinate was being beaten senseless, yet he showed no intention of stepping in. It was as if Scott's words carried the weight of an imperial decree—absolute, unquestionable.Just moments ago, Bruce had been arrogant and overbearing. Now, he endured Spencer's relentless strikes without resistance. No matter how much it hurt, he dared not fight back.Spencer, however, was no seasoned enforcer. He had begun with the conviction to land ten thousand blows, but after just a few dozen, his hands throbbed with pain, turning red and swollen. He had no choice but to stop. Bruce, meanwhile, lay on the floor, groaning softly. The room was eerily silent, save for his pitiful whimpers. No one else dared to make a sound. They barely even breathed.Even Matthew, who had only just regained consciousnes

At this moment, deep within his heart, Roger was seething with both anger and fear.He had assumed this was merely a petty conflict between Bruce and Scott. But he had never expected that wretched bastard Matthew to go so far as to orchestrate the assault on Scott's ex-wife.Was that idiot Matthew out of his mind?If he wanted to die, fine. But why drag him into it?Roger understood better than anyone that Scott's family was far more powerful than it appeared on the surface. To outsiders, they were just another prestigious family from Grandis, but Roger knew the truth. Their influence was terrifying.If Scott so much as uttered a single command, his life wouldn't last till sunrise."Get up," Scott said. "This has nothing to do with you."Roger remained on his knees. Scott wasn't surprised. Spencer might not fully grasp the weight of the Radley family's power, but Roger did. Given the circumstances, kneeling was the only logical response."Please. Let me stay like this," Roger s

"Enough. I don't want to hear any more..."Lost in a daze, Selene stumbled back to her room.She stood by the bed, her gaze falling to an empty space on the floor. And then, suddenly, the tears came—unstoppable, raw.That empty space. That was where Scott used to sleep. For a whole year of marriage, she had taken the bed, while he had laid out his bedding on the floor.She had thought he was just another useless man, a parasite clinging to her family's wealth, devoid of love, devoid of sincerity.But now?Now, she knew.Her family and her so-called friends—none of them had ever cared for her the way Scott did. No one had shielded her like he had. He had supported her career in the shadows, dealt with every problem that came her way, and even after their divorce—after she had thrown him out—he had still avenged her when she had nearly been assaulted.Scott was the only one who had truly loved her.And she had cast him aside with her own hands.The more she thought about it, th

Seeing Olivia's furious expression, Henry finally felt relieved.He had assumed everything was unfolding according to his plan. Sitting comfortably at home, sipping his drink in satisfaction, he never expected his phone to ring with unsettling news. One of Matthew's subordinates called, frantic, telling him their boss had been beaten—by none other than Selene's ex-husband.At first, Henry refused to believe it. It sounded absurd. But when the subordinate sent him a photo of Scott standing over a battered Matthew, reality hit him like a slap in the face.Scott? That useless fool had shown up at the banquet?It made no sense.Confusion gnawed at him until another photo arrived—this time, Scott standing side by side with Spencer.Only then did Henry understand. Somehow, Scott had latched onto Spencer.To him, Scott was the lowest of the low, a man who had no business being in the same sentence as someone like Spencer. He didn't even consider the possibility that Scott's status coul

"Not a chance. Not a single cent less. If you can't pay up, call your family and have them bring the money!" The security guards showed no room for negotiation.Carrie was on the verge of tears. Regret gnawed at her insides, twisting her stomach into knots. Desperation left her with no choice but to call Selene.But Selene's phone was turned off. No matter how many times she dialed, there was no response. She lifted her head and scanned the surroundings, but there was no one willing to help her.Left with no other option, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a diamond ring—one she had hidden away for years. It had been her safety net, her secret stash. Back then, she had stolen and sold off all of Selene's biological mother's jewelry to acquire it. And now, in a cruel twist of fate, she had no choice but to hand it over to the security guard as collateral.Walking out of Nalheim Group, Carrie felt utterly hollow. She didn't even have the will to curse Scott anymore. But Scott

The security guards had long since lost their patience with Carrie. Without hesitation, they grabbed her by the arms and started pushing her toward the exit."What do you think you're doing? How dare you throw me out? Don't touch me, or I will have my son-in-law fire all of you!" Carrie shrieked, her face twisting in fury."Our boss made it clear—he has no wife, let alone a mother-in-law. Now get your butt out of here!" The receptionist, who had maintained impeccable service etiquette even in the face of rudeness before, finally snapped. It wasn't the insults that got to her, but the sheer arrogance—the way Carrie looked down her nose at everyone, as if she were some queen descending upon a court of lowly servants."That's impossible! I am Scott's mother-in-law! If you don't believe me, call him out here!" Carrie protested, growing desperate.The receptionist scoffed. "Oh, so now you're resorting to fraud? I'll give you one last chance—walk away now, and we'll let it slide. But kee

Meldovia Chamber of Commerce was an elite circle coveted by the wealthiest not just in Handorra but across the world. Their membership was a badge of honor, a testament to one's financial prowess and influence. But the barriers to entry were formidable—money alone wasn't enough. Without a powerful backing, even the richest could find themselves shut out.Spencer, despite his immense fortune, had never managed to break into its ranks. His foundation in Hazeld City was still unstable, leaving him without the leverage needed to join. That alone spoke volumes about how difficult it was to gain entry. But for those who did, the rewards were immeasurable. The association housed an extensive network of influential businessmen, fostering collaborations that could multiply one's wealth several times over within mere years. Some of the world's richest figures were among its members.After Scott left his family, his father had leveraged his personal influence to secure him a place in the as

Scott hadn't slept well last night. He had drowned himself in alcohol, and if it weren't for Amelia shaking him awake in the morning, he would have slept straight into the afternoon.Despite the passing of the night, the events of the previous day remained vivid in his mind. The moment he arrived at the company, he picked up the phone and called Spencer."Have you found Henry yet?" he asked."Sir, that guy somehow caught wind of our movements. The Wilson family's matriarch, Olivia, has hidden him away. I've tried multiple times to demand his whereabouts from her, but she insists she hasn't seen him. My men have turned her entire house upside down, but we still couldn't find him," Spencer reported.Olivia.Hearing the name, Scott's lips curled into a cold smile. His brows furrowed slightly but soon relaxed."You've done well," he said. "But from here on, leave this to me."This was something he needed to handle personally.Carrie looked down on him, but compared to her, Olivia w

One would assume Carrie would regret her past actions—deeply, bitterly, to the point of despair.But she had a skin so thick that shame never even grazed her. As soon as Selene returned to her room, Carrie's mind started spinning. If Scott was truly a wealthy tycoon, didn't that mean her former son-in-law was now swimming in money?If she could rekindle some kind of connection with him, just a little goodwill, even the scraps he tossed her way would be enough to keep living the luxurious life she was used to.Whether Selene would give her money or not—it no longer mattered.With this thought firmly in mind, she carefully dressed up early in the morning, preparing to visit Nalheim Group's headquarters.Just as she opened the door, Selene spotted her."Mom, where are you going?"Selene's voice was weak, her body barely holding up. She hadn't rested at all after yesterday's ordeal—her chest felt tight, and a cough rattled through her with every breath. Even standing took all the st

"Remember Spencer Reed? Do you know why he severed ties with us? It's because Spencer is Scott's follower. The reason he once tried to help me wasn't out of his own kindness—it was because Scott told him to. And do you know why I was able to achieve such miraculous success before? That, too, was because Scott was helping me from behind the scenes."Do you know why Lyndis became the general manager of the Nalheim Group? It's not because Scott is some lovesick fool living off her. It's because Scott bought the entire Nalheim Group! He owns it now—he's the real boss of Nalheim!"But none of that even matters compared to this. Do you know who the host of tonight's banquet is? Do you know who all these tycoons were bending over backwards to please? It's Scott! I saw it with my own eyes!"Selene clenched her teeth, venting all the frustration that had been welling up inside her. "I could have lived a life of luxury. I could have been a wealthy, pampered wife, never having to lift a finger
My Son-in-Law is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 22
Everything had become painfully clear to her. Just how ignorant she had been, how utterly blind to reality. And most of all, how deep Scott's love for her had truly been.Scott was wealthy and powerful. He could give her everything she had ever dreamed of. Yet she had thrown it all away and stupidly cast aside the life she had always longed for.Regret clawed at her. As she walked home, her vision blurred with tears, her breath hitching with every sob. She had been crying all the way home, and by now, her eyes were swollen beyond recognition. But no matter how much she wiped at her tears, the moment Scott's face surfaced in her mind, they would spill over again."Sweetheart, how did your meeting with Mr. Beckett go? Are you signing the contract tomorrow?"Dragging her exhausted body through the doorway, Selene barely had time to process before Carrie approached her, anticipation written all over her face.At that instant, a realization struck Selene like a bolt of lightning—Carr
