All Chapters of Falling for the rejected son-in-law: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The room fell silent, tension thickening the atmosphere, and Chase met her gaze with furrowed eyebrows, asking, "You want to come? Why?""Because..." Jada mumbled as she bit her bottom lip hesitantly, unsure how to word her thoughts correctly.Finally, she decided, "It's me you guys are going to talk about, right? So why shouldn't I be there?"His eyelids lower, a frown pulling at the corners of his lips. After a few moments, he raised his eyes to look straight at hers. "No,"The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down. The tension mounted. Finally, Jada let out a defeated groan, running her fingers through her black curls. "Why don't you want me to go?"Her question was met with silence, and Chase averted his gaze, his shoulders slumping in defeat. When he looked back up at her, he opened his mouth to speak, hesitated, then closed it again, his jaw clenched tight—a long moment passed before he finally said. "Fine. You can come along.""Are you afraid I will get cold f

Glaring at her with eyes that burned like embers, Leon's brows furrowed at Jada, his anger simmering beneath the surface as he slowly rose from behind the desk. The room seemed to shrink in the face of his seething resentment, the aura heavy with the tension that crackled as he and Chase's gaze locked."Is this how you plan on handling things, Jada?" he sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Running off to live with another man while still married to me? You truly have no shame."Daring his audacity, Jada met his gaze with a sardonic smile curling upon her lips. Her eyes danced with defiance and amusement as if she had expected nothing less from him. "Come on," she said, her tone laced with a thread of exasperation. "I thought we were past this conversation. Why are you still sobbing over me? Don't tell me no other woman can love you except me or your mama."Leon's face contorted into a bitter smirk, his eyes gleaming with a glint of malice that sent a shiver down Jada's spine f

After sitting on the ground for a long time, Leon slowly rose to his feet, his body aching from the intense confrontation that had just unfolded. Blood trickled from his nose, staining his shirt as he reached into his pocket and retrieved his phone, his trembling fingers struggling to dial a number. "Did you see Chase's car leave?" Leon asked, a sinister undertone lacing each word. The male voice on the other end of the call hesitated for a moment before responding, "Not too long ago. Their car seemed to be heading towards Opt Street. Is something wrong, boss?... What happened in there?"" For a moment, Leon held his tongue, thinking things through. Then he smirked despite the agony in his battered body. "A little disagreement," he replied. "Listen carefully. I need you and the others. We have a job to do." The male voice on the other end, filled with dread, inquired, "What kind of job?... The men are already with me..." A smirk formed on Leon's lips, a twisted satisfaction co

Frustrated that Chase was becoming a nuisance to the plan, three men attacked, rushing to him from each side. But Chase dodged the first attacker and managed to punch him, forcing him backward into the other men. He then twisted, slapping another dude's blow away from him. But the second fella managed to grab Chase around the throat, choking him. With a struggle, Chase kicked his leg out, connecting with the man's groin. Then he slammed the stone into his nose, shattering it before going for the other guy, swinging the rock for his head, knocking the daylight out of him. One of the attackers swung at Chase's arm, missing entirely. But his second punch landed next to Chase's ear, the sound ringing loudly in his eardrum. But before he could strike again, Chase used the rock to bash into the back of his head, rendering him unconscious. The other two attackers pounced on Chase, their heavy steps crushing the gravel under their feet. As Chase struggled to throw them off, the one hold

The moment Emily ended the call with Leon, she was in the process of dialing the numbers to reschedule the crucial board meeting when she noticed a figure she knew all too well approaching her. Her grip on the phone tightened, and she glanced at the screen, her fingers hovering over the call button, momentarily hesitant. "Mr. Clark," she greeted him with a forced smile, trying to conceal her unease. "Good afternoon, Mr. Clark. What brings you here?" When he reached her desk, Mr. Clark's sharp gaze bore into Emily's eyes, his expression unreadable. He wasted no time in cutting to the chase, "Emily, I have heard rumors circulating that Jada has returned to the office. Is it true?" Remembering Leon's warnings, Emily's heart skipped a beat, and her voice wavered slightly as she replied, "Well, I'm not sure, Mr. Clark. I have been quite occupied with some other matters, and I think it would be best if you got your information from someone else. I have a lot of work to do..." But Mr. Cla
