The Billionaire Son-in-Law Chapter 17
Sophie was about to turn around and continue working on her documents when she suddenly sniffed the air. Having been in the workplace for so long, she had developed a sharp sensitivity to perfume scents.She hadn't worn any perfume today. So where was this scent coming from?She hesitated for a moment before grabbing Victor's sleeve.Victor's mouth twitched, and a wave of nervousness rushed over him. How could he have forgotten this? He should've changed his clothes before coming home."Where exactly did you go?" Sophie was furious. No wonder he had come back so late. There had to be another woman involved."I went to a class reunion," Victor replied, trying to maintain a calm facade while panicking inside."Oh? A class reunion?" Sophie sneered. "Then why do you smell like women's perfume? Don't tell me you wore it yourself?"She had wanted to give Victor a chance, but now, his actions were simply too disappointing.She suddenly remembered that Victor had once been in a seeming

Victor couldn't just stand by and watch this happen. Without hesitation, he called Liam even though it was the middle of the night, asking him to handle the situation.After confirming that Liam was willing to help, Victor ended the call. There wasn't much more he could do at this hour. Any action would have to wait until tomorrow.He decided to keep this to himself and didn't tell Sophie. He only wanted to help her secretly as a way to make up for what he had done.After watching Sophie sleep for a while, Victor smiled before laying out a floor mat to sleep on.-As the early morning sun cast its golden light on his face, Victor opened his eyes and stretched. Sophie was still asleep on the bed. Since she had worked overtime last night, he understood her exhaustion and didn't wake her up.He quietly stepped out of the room, freshened up, and started preparing breakfast for her. With both her parents at work, Victor only made enough for two.Just as he finished his own portion, S

"She's stunning. No wonder they call her the most beautiful woman in Northlake City. What a shame she married a loser like that.""Do you know that guy? When did our company hire a new employee? Why wasn't I aware?""Are you blind? That's the live-in son-in-law of the Jensen family we always talk about."Many employees turned to look at Victor, their gazes filled with disdain and jealousy. They envied his luck being married to Sophie—what they wouldn't give to be in his place.Victor's presence stirred a noticeable reaction throughout Sophie's company. However, he ignored the whispers and treated the gossipers as nothing more than trolls.The issue of losing a business partner had shaken the company's leadership. The entire management team was on edge. They eagerly waited to observe how Sophie would handle the crisis.Since the company's future was at stake, an emergency meeting had been called. The attendees were all senior employees, experienced and influential, though most of

Sophie frowned when she saw Steve. The displeasure was evident in her eyes. She knew exactly what kind of person he was.He was a well-known playboy in Northlake City, and his presence here could only mean trouble, especially at such a critical moment.Steve gave Philip a thumbs-up, as if to say 'well done'. Philip grinned like a lapdog and eagerly welcomed him."Ms. Jensen, this is Mr. Carter. He has a solution to our problem. This is the best I could do," Philip said, acting as though he had put in his utmost effort. He waited for Sophie's praise.Sophie had expected him to find a reliable business partner. Instead, he had brought in a notorious playboy. She was thoroughly disappointed in Philip."Ms. Jensen, what do you think?" Philip pressed."Do you really think you've done something commendable?" Sophie's patience wore thin, and her voice carried a trace of anger.Philip was stunned by her reaction. He had no idea why Ms. Jensen was so upset. He genuinely thought he had do

Everyone scoffed in disdain, failing to recognize who Victor was. They were convinced that Victor was chasing something far beyond his reach.But Sophie, on the other hand, was struck by his words, unable to believe that Victor had actually said them himself."What are you doing here?" Sophie asked Steve in clear disgust. She had no interest in associating with someone like him."Of course, I'm here to help you," Steve replied smoothly, extending his hand like a gentleman. His smirk was full of arrogance.Sophie shot him a look of disdain, making no move to shake his hand.Steve awkwardly withdrew his hand, but inwardly, he sneered. 'Let's see how long you can keep up that cold front.'"Yes, Ms. Jensen, he's genuinely here to help you. Given the current situation, it's already rare that Mr. Carter is willing to step in," Philip said with a chuckle while stroking his beard. He had already made a deal with Steve Carter. If this partnership succeeded, he would get a generous payou

Sophie was furious. When things were going well, these people rushed to claim credit, but when trouble arose, they left her to deal with it alone.Still, to save the company, she had no other choice.She hesitated for a moment. It was just a meal and nothing too serious. Besides, if she didn't resolve this crisis soon, the consequences would be far worse.Although she loathed Steve for taking advantage of the situation, she had no choice but to take things one step at a time. She cast an apologetic glance at Victor, about to agree."Wait." Victor suddenly spoke up."What do you think you're doing? You worthless nobody, do you think your opinion matters?" Steve shot Victor a look of disdain. To him, Victor was utterly insignificant."Mr. Carter is certainly being generous, all this just for a meal," Victor said, his tone laced with sarcasm.Steve sneered. "What? You're unhappy about it?""Not at all," Victor replied casually. "But don't you think you're exploiting the situation
The Billionaire Son-in-Law Chapter 23
Philip and the others couldn't hold back anymore. The more Steve took, the less they would get. It was as if their share of the pie was being eaten away.They didn't dare lash out at Steve, but venting their anger on a worthless nobody was easy enough. If it weren't for Victor, none of this would be happening.Sophie frowned. Steve demanding a stake in the company wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it was far from trivial. He was obviously setting her up.If he decided to stop cooperating one day, she'd find herself in the same situation again, with Steve demanding even more. That was what worried her the most."Even without me here, do you really think he would have made it that simple?" Victor asked.He was just stating the truth. Even if he hadn't argued with Steve, Steve would have found another way to tighten the noose. It was only a matter of time."It doesn't matter. This is still your fault." Philip and the others glared at him, their voices harsh with resentment.

"Damn it! How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?" Steve's eyes burned with rage as he roared hysterically.No one had ever laid a hand on him. Yet today, he had been punched by a worthless nobody. He couldn't swallow this humiliation.Sophie didn't even know what to say to Victor. As much as she disliked Steve, he was the only one who could help her. But now, Victor had completely ruined everything."Apologize to him." She shot Victor a glare. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collaboration, and she couldn't let him mess it up.Victor had already apologized once. He had no intention of apologizing a second time, especially not to someone like Steve.Steve had openly threatened to sleep with his wife in front of him. If Victor backed down now, it would be the same as accepting it. That was the one thing he could never tolerate.Philip and the others helped Steve up. Steve sneered. "No need for an apology. There's nothing left to discuss."Philip and the othe

"Mr. Bennett, you wouldn't go against me just for the sake of a small company, would you? That'd be a case of losing the big for the small." Steve still thought Landon was joking.But to Landon, Steve's words sounded like a threat. He wasn't the kind to be intimidated.Seeing that Landon remained silent, Steve smirked triumphantly at Victor and the others. "See that? My father is close with Mr. Bennett. You think you can rely on him? Not a chance.""All right." Landon uttered the word indifferently.Steve, still clueless about his mistake, pushed his luck even further. "Mr. Bennett, that kid and I have a grudge. You wouldn't want to back the wrong side.""Which kid?" Landon's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turning colder.Oblivious to the looming danger, Steve sneered and pointed at Victor. "That loser right there.""Oh." Landon glanced back at Victor, then made up his mind to deal with Steve for Victor's sake.Steve let out a sigh of relief. He knew Landon wouldn't take a mi

Philip was afraid Steve might retaliate, so after saying a few words, he didn't dare to talk back anymore.Seeing Philip back down, Steve spat in disdain. He then deliberately moved closer to Landon as if this would make them appear to be on better terms.Landon looked at Steve with disgust. He had seen plenty of bootlickers before, and for people like Steve, his response was to simply ignore them."Mr. Bennett, let me treat you to a meal and some drinks," Steve said, completely unaware of Landon's true thoughts. He tried his best to act friendly.Landon pushed Steve away with a sneer. "Drinks? You think you're worthy of drinking with me?"That shove snapped Steve back to reality, leaving him standing there awkwardly."Mr. Carter, didn't you just say that if someone came forward as a partner or guarantor today, you'd eat your contract? You haven't forgotten, have you?" Victor suddenly spoke up. He wasn't the type to hold grudges, but this was entirely Steve's own doing. As a ma

"Ms. Jensen, I'm here because I'm willing to be your company's guarantor," Landon said in a serious tone. It was clear from his words that he was leagues ahead of Steve in terms of character."What? Voluntarily acting as a guarantor?" Steve muttered. He thought he must have misheard. He quickly slapped his own face, but the truth was undeniable. He hadn't misheard.Philip and the others were also dumbfounded. Could they really be this lucky? At such a critical moment, someone was actually willing to work with their company. Regardless of the reason, someone stepping up to collaborate with them was an enormous blessing. They were thrilled beyond words.They could never have guessed that Landon's willingness to act as a guarantor was all because of Victor.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds. She wondered if she was dreaming. She struggled to suppress her excitement and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Bennett, are you really serious about this partnership?"Landon knew his

Philip and the others all turned around. They eagerly urged Sophie to accept the terms."There's no need. Someone else is willing to work with our company," Victor said. He wasn't joking. A group of people was already making their way toward the entrance. Victor was sure they were the people Liam had sent. Philip and the rest should shut up now."Yeah, right, keep bluffing." Philip and the others scoffed, convinced that Victor had completely lost his mind."Hah! I refuse to believe it. Besides me, who else would dare work with you? If anyone does, I'll eat the contract I brought today!" Steve laughed confidently.Sophie frowned slightly. If Victor had really found a business partner, he would have told her. This had to be nonsense.Just then, a group of suited men approached hurriedly, confirming Victor's identity before heading straight toward him.Steve's expression changed instantly. He recognized the middle-aged man leading the group, Landon Bennett, a CEO from one of North

"This loser fights better than I thought," Philip cursed in frustration. Not only had he failed to hurt Victor, but he was the one getting beaten instead.The others felt the same way. They had all been overwhelmed by Victor and were too scared to make another move.Sophie covered her mouth in shock. She had never seen Victor fight before, and now that he had, his skills were nothing short of astounding.A dozen men couldn't stop him, yet he had left them battered and bruised, their faces swollen and bloodied.She couldn't help but wonder—when did Victor learn to fight? She had never seen him display any skills like this before.Victor had taken a few hits due to the surprise attack earlier, but compared to the others, his injuries were minor."You're crazy!" Steve resorted to insults, knowing he couldn't win in a fight.Victor turned to look at him and said, "Even without your help, I can still pull the company out of this crisis."Although Philip and the others had been beate

Over the past few years, they had all heard that Victor hadn't even touched Sophie's hand. This only made them feel that they had a chance."All right, I'll be honest. I just want your body," Steve said with a wicked grin. "As long as you agree to spend a night with me, I'll agree to the deal. If you perform well, I might even make you my girlfriend.""Keep dreaming!" Sophie spat. She clenched her jaw, her body trembling with rage. This guy was a complete degenerate, pushing his limits more and more."You don't get a say in this," Steve said nonchalantly, spreading his hands. "If you don't agree, then you're not leaving this place today."He had leverage over Sophie. No matter how excessive his demands were, she wouldn't dare refuse him."Ms. Jensen, for the sake of the company, why not sacrifice a little?""Yeah, besides, Mr. Carter is a much better man than that loser.""If you two joined forces, you'd make a perfect match."Philip had already been bought over by Steve, and o
