King's Back

Chapter 1 The Abandoned Son-in-law

"Morgan Clark of the Clark family wishes Elder Madam to be long-lived. Here, I would present her a forty-carat emerald ring!"

"Best Wishes for Elder Madam from Diego Hall, President of the V-Sparks Group. Here, I would present her a well-known medieval painting!"

"Chief Manager of the Foresea Group wishes Elder Madam a prosperous and healthy life. Here, I would present her a Gilded Plaque!"

Today was the sixtieth birthday of Kiara Brown, the Elder Madam of the Clark family. Elder Madam had been in control of the family business ever since her husband was seriously ill.

Those who came to her birthday today were the renowned people in Y City.

The guests became envious when they saw the valuable gifts for Elder Madam. The total value of these gifts must have exceeded 5 million.

But the following voice threw the guests into confusion.

"Jackson Owen, the son-in-law of the Clark family, wishes Elder Madam extraordinary prosperity. Here, I would present her a Bronze Pot!"

After his words came out, the guests looked at each other first and then all burst into despising laughter.

"Is this Jackson Own the good-for-nothing who became the son-in-law of the Clark family three years ago?"

"That's him. I really don't understand what Elder Madam's husband was thinking. Although Dolcie Clark's father is mediocre, Dolcie is still a daughter of the Clark family. How come they betrothed her to

a nobody."

"In the past three years, Elder Madam has never allowed him to step into the Clark family, which really shows her dissatisfaction with this guy. Today is Elder Madam's birthday, but he just gave her a broken Bronze Pot as present. What a shameless man."

Dolcie Clark was an extremely gorgeous woman. Her figure was as curvaceous as a supermodel; her lingering charm with the bright eyes on her stunning face was quite impressive.

But at this moment, her beautiful face darkened in anger.

She dragged Jackson to the corner.

"My... Dolcie, what's the matter with you?" Jackson asked confusedly.

Dolcie answered angrily, "What's wrong? What about the gift I bought you for fifty thousand?"

Jackson pointed to the Bronze Pot placed on the red table, and said innocently, "Here, that's it."

"Fifty thousand, and you just bought a piece of broken garbage back? Today is grandma's birthday. How can you do this?"

After saying this, Dolcie almost cried. For three years, this useless man had done nothing, only stayed at home as a househusband. His culinary skill was good, but that was pointless.

A real man must be able to do something tremendous and achieve fame and fortune. That's a real man.

But look at Jackson! He was always so lazy, making people angry.

Take today's case, fifty thousand was not a large sum, but it was enough to buy a decent gift. However, he bought a piece of broken garbage, which was really disgraceful to give Elder Madam.

"Dolcie, this bronze pot looks terrible. But it is a genuine antique, an over-two-thousand-year-old bronze pot, definitely worth more than 50 million."

"Yeah, 50 million? Don't tell me you bought it from the Antique Street." Morgan Clarkson walked over with a playful smile.

Morgan Clarkson was the most favored grandson of Elder Madam. Normally speaking, Morgan would be the future leader of the Clark family.

Jackson glanced at Morgan coldly and said honestly, "It was indeed bought from the Antique Street."

The guests present burst into laughter when they heard his words.

"Everyone knows that almost all the antiques sold on that street are counterfeit. At least pick one that looks decent. See what I prepared for grandma!"

Morgan came to the place where his forty-carat emerald ring was put. Pride was self-evident on his face.

Indeed, Jackson's gift was nothing compared with his.

All of a sudden, Elder Madam walked over, and everybody stood up to show their respect.

"Grandma, Jackson was being ignorant. Please don't blame him. I will prepare a decent gift for you later."

Dolcie stepped forward and apologized to Elder Madam. Although she and Jackson were a couple in name only, she still had to speak up for him in front of the relatives.

Elder Madam looked at the pot with a look of disgust and snorted.

"Forget it. You guys are not that rich. Just save the money for yourself. Morgan, the birthday banquet is about to begin. Take me there." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Morgan agreed and quickly took Elder Madam in his arms, and then looked back to Dolcie proudly.

Dolcie bit her lip. She wanted to leave a good impression on Elder Madam through this birthday banquet, but it seemed her plans all dashed to pieces.

She was just about to follow, but Elder Madam said emotionlessly, "There are no seats left at main table. You two don't have to follow."

Dolcie paused and a strong feeling of shame hit her heart.

Elder Madam was obviously humiliating Dolcie and her husband, in front of all the guests present. Without looking up, she could feel people's eyes, with curiosity and sarcasm in them, alighting on her, so humiliating that she itched to leave right away.

Although her father was mediocre, he was a member of the Clark family after all. But now there was a son-in-law who was even more useless. In the eyes of Elder Madam, Dolcie Clark was a completely hopeless grandchild.

"Dolcie, are you envious?" Jackson asked with a casual smile.

Dolcie said impatiently, "Does it help to be envious? That's the main table. Only Elder Madam can sit on it. What am I to be qualified for that seat?"

"After Grandpa became seriously ill, our family moved out, and our days are getting worse!"

"I wanted to take this opportunity to please Elder Madam and beg her to help my family with the resources from Clark family, but now everything is done."

"Never mind, what's the use of telling you, you wouldn't understand."

Dolcie shed tears.

Jackson was surprised, he wouldn't understand?

If a man was ambitious, he was capable to shake the world.

He had never thought of interfering in the affairs of the Clark family, not that he didn't want to, but disdained to participate.

Jackson was the founder of the world's best secret institution--the Dragon Palace. People called him Dragon King. Along with the four Blazing Angels and the twelve Seraphs under him, he was in charge of half of the world's power and wealth.

With an order from Jackson, even all the big families within the entire Y City could be wiped out easily, let alone the Clark family!

He wouldn't understand?

He became a son-in-law of the Clark family for three years, just trying to fulfill his long-cherished wishes.

But now he already fell for Dolcie and treated her as his wife from the bottom of his heart.

Every time Dolcie came back from the Clark family, she would wear a happy smile. Jackson thought that she should be in a good status in the Clark family.

But today he realized that it was not the case.

Thinking of this, Jackson said calmly, "Dolcie, I will let you sit in that chair if you like."
