The Despised Son-in-law Strikes Back

Liam Hoffman walked to the front desk of Sunrise Decoration Corp. in Ninverton with a paper bag in his hand.

Inside the paper bag was a cup of coffee, and he was very careful not to spill it.

"This is the coffee ordered by Mr. Dennis Caldwell. Where should I deliver it?" He said to the receptionist.

The receptionist looked Liam up and down and said disgustedly, "Follow me."

Liam was actually an Uber driver. But today, he unexpectedly received a delivery order with generous pay. It was two hundred dollars, so he accepted the job.

He followed the receptionist until they reached the door of an office.

As soon as Liam put his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly heard a woman's groan from inside.

The voice sounded very familiar to him. It was much like his wife's.

He couldn't believe his ears. He must have heard it wrong.

Liam tried to convince himself he was wrong. But he still couldn't help getting closer, so he could hear it more clearly.

"Ahhh... Dennis, don't do that..."

"Come on, let me kiss you. Anyway, your good-for-nothing husband has never kissed you, right?"

When Liam heard the conversation inside the office, he was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he knocked hard on the door and shouted, "Open the door! Open it now!"

The receptionist asked anxiously, "Hey, what is wrong with you?"

The door was suddenly opened with a loud bang.

Then a strange man appeared in front of Liam.

Liam's attention was immediately caught by the lipstick marks on the man's right cheek.

He threw the paper bag away, pushed the man away, and looked into the office.

Then he saw a woman with smooth skin and a curvaceous figure, wearing black silk stockings. Flustered, she was buttoning her shirt in a hurry.

"Yolanda!" Liam roared in rage.

It turned out that he was right. The flustered woman inside the office was really his wife.

He felt like a giant boulder was pressing his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Liam glared at Yolanda Lambert and said angrily, "Yolanda, we have been married for three years. And during these years, I have worked as an Uber driver by day and taken care of your family by night. I've been a good husband to you. But in the past three years, you have never allowed me to touch you. Despite that, I didn't think badly of you. I told myself you were only a reserved woman. But what is this? How dare you cheat on me with this man in his office! Why did you do this to me? What have I done wrong?"

"Honey... W-what are you doing here?" Yolanda said after finally buttoning up her shirt, covering her exposed cleavage.

At this moment, Dennis snickered and said proudly, "You call your husband a loser every day, so I got curious and let him come here today to see what a loser he is."

After saying this, he looked at Liam disdainfully.

Yolanda also recovered from her panic and regained her composure.

She thought Liam was really a loser anyway. Even the money used to buy his car was hers. So what right did he have to accuse her of anything?

She stood between Dennis and Liam, raised her head, and said to Liam arrogantly, "Watch your words, Liam. I am not cheating on you or anyone. Mr. Caldwell and I were just talking about business."

Liam gritted his teeth and sneered, "Does talking about business require physical contact and lipstick marks on his cheek?"

While standing at the door, the receptionist finally understood what was going on. She looked at the trembling Liam and sneered, "You really should look at yourself in the mirror. You're just an Uber driver. How can you compare to Mr. Caldwell, who is the CEO of a company with a market value of one billion dollars? Even if you drive for a hundred years, you can't make that much money."

Dennis became more arrogant after hearing the receptionist's words. He put his arm around Yolanda's shoulder, picked up the glass of wine on the table, and handed it to Yolanda.

Yolanda hesitated for a moment. Then she accepted the glass, clinked it with his, and they drank up the wine together.

Liam's eyes were fixed on Dennis and Yolanda. He thought they were the most shameless people he had ever met.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced into the flesh of his palms. At this moment, there was only anger in his heart.

When the receptionist saw his reaction, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Do you want to fight?" Then she shouted, "Guards!"

Yolanda also looked at Liam with her head raised high and said coldly, "Liam, why don't you just leave? Do you really want to be beaten up?"

Liam looked at the security guards around him with batons in their hands.

He slowly loosened his fists and said coldly, "Yolanda, you will regret this one day."

Then he turned around and walked out of Dennis' office.

Yolanda looked at Liam's receding back, but she said nothing.

Liam walked out of the company and got in his car, thinking about how to take revenge on them.

At this moment, his phone rang.

As soon as he answered it, the butler of his family, Theo Reed's voice came through from the other end of the line.

"Sir, your three-year task in the Lambert family is over, and your reward is a villa in Cloudhigh Resort. From today on, your restrictions are also lifted."

Theo paused and then continued, "Your next training task is managing business. Your father has bought Kingland Group and appointed you as the CEO."

"Okay," Liam said in a hoarse voice. He was not surprised at all.

Then Theo asked, "How are you getting along with your wife? Are you going to hold a grand wedding ceremony for her with your real identity?"

Liam's face darkened at once. "No. She doesn't deserve it."

After saying this, Liam hung up the phone and stepped hard on the accelerator. The car sped away in an instant.

He drove on the streets of Ninverton freely. It was as if he wanted to forget all the ill treatments he had suffered in the past three years.

As a young member of the Hoffman family, he received various trainings since he was a child.

He started to learn martial arts at the age of eight, went to music school at thirteen, and finished four years of business school courses at eighteen.

Moreover, he learned superb medical skills on the battlefield.

Three years ago, he received a task to train his disposition from his family. With the help of old Mr. Lambert, he married Yolanda and lived with the Lambert family.

And in these three years, he couldn't use his family's wealth or the knowledge and ability he had gained from the family. He could only live as an ordinary person.

He planned to tell the Lambert family his true identity after the task. But now...

Liam sneered, "Yolanda, I wonder how you will feel after you find out that Dennis is nothing compared to me."

He returned to the Lambert family's house in Ninverton at six in the evening.

By this time, he had already vented his anger.

But his purpose for going back was to get his belongings. He would leave the Lambert family now.

"You're back... Dinner is ready. Come on, let's eat." Liam heard Yolanda's sweet voice from the kitchen.

It was as if nothing had happened today. She came home early and made a special dinner for Liam.

During these three years, all their meals were cooked by Liam. This was the first time Yolanda had prepared dinner.

Liam didn't say a word. He walked to his room, got his suitcase, and put all his things inside.

While he lived in the Lambert family's house, he slept in a small bed in a small room.

Liam and Yolanda were a married couple. But in the past three years, the Lambert family had treated Liam as a servant and a driver.

After packing his things, Liam was about to leave.

However, Yolanda suddenly stood at the door and blocked his way. She crossed her arms over her chest and said discontentedly, "Are you a child? I've told you I was only talking about business with Dennis. Why will you leave? I did all those things to build a good relationship with him and get his trust. As long as I can close that deal with Sunrise Decoration Corp., my grandma will recognize my capability, and I will be promoted. Then I can get more salary, and you don't have to work as an Uber driver anymore."

Liam sneered coldly, "I don't need it. I don't do anything against my principles for money and status."

After saying this, he suddenly understood the meaning of this training task his family gave him.

So he said firmly, "Let's divorce."

Yolanda was taken aback for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, she snapped, "No, we can't divorce now. At least not until after Isabella's wedding.

The vice president of Kingland Group will be there. If I can establish a good relationship with her, I will have a promising future. So at this time, there can't be any negative news about my family or me."

"The vice president of Kingland Group?" Liam sneered upon hearing this.

Then he pushed Yolanda away and walked out of the room. "I have nothing to do with the Lambert family anymore. I will find a divorce lawyer to handle our case."

"You're a bastard! A good-for-nothing loser. You will definitely regret this. When I succeed in sealing a deal with Kingland Group, I will be totally out of your league."

Liam was decisive and unrelenting. Yolanda was so angry that she chased after him until he disappeared from her sight.

As soon as Liam walked out of the villa, he sneered coldly, "Humph! If only you know that the man standing in front of you is the CEO of Kingland Group. You want to cooperate with Kingland Group? Dream on!"

The next day, Isabella Lambert's wedding would be held as scheduled.

Since she was a lady from the Lambert family, it would be a grand wedding held at Von Merri Hotel.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the parking lot of the hotel was packed with luxury cars. And the guests were all dressed up elegantly.

Since the Lambert family was prominent in Ninverton, all the big shots in the city were invited.

After parking her car in the parking lot, Yolanda walked into the hotel lobby alone.

In the hall on the first floor, all the members of the Lambert family gathered at this moment.

She greeted her grandmother Vera Lambert, and her parents, Mason Lambert and Lilian Lambert, respectively.

Vera had two sons, namely William Lambert, the elder one, and Mason Lambert, the younger one.

Isabella was William's daughter and Yolanda's cousin.

When William saw that Yolanda was alone, he immediately shouted, "Where is Liam? Tell him to park the cars for the guests. Then let him help the waiters set the tables. If my daughter's wedding is delayed, I will kill him."

Yolanda pulled a long face and said with hesitation, "H-he isn't coming today."

When Vera heard this, the smile on her face vanished at once. She questioned angrily, "How dare he! He has lived with our family for three years, and we have paid for his food and everything. And he's not coming? Yolanda, call that loser and tell him to come over right now."

Yolanda took out her phone helplessly and called Liam.

After a while, Liam's cold voice came from the other end of the line. "What's the matter?"

"Come to the hotel now. Grandma wants you to help in setting the tables."

"Setting the tables? I'm sorry, I have already entrusted our divorce to a lawyer. You have no right to order me to do anything anymore." After saying this, Liam hung up the phone.

Yolanda turned to Vera and said with an aggrieved look, "Grandma, Liam won't come."

Vera was so angry that she waved her walking stick and cursed, "How dare that bastard! He's just a useless live-in son-in-law. And he dares to disobey me?"

Vera's angry voice resounded through the hall.

Dennis, who had just come in, heard this, so he immediately walked over to them.

He asked curiously, "Mrs. Lambert, who made you so angry like that?"

It was Yolanda who answered. She told him everything and pinned all the blames on Liam.

The corners of Dennis' mouth curved up, revealing a wicked smile.

Just now, he was worrying about how to separate Liam and Yolanda.

So he raised his head and added fuel to the fire. "Mrs. Lambert, I think Liam is having an affair. When I was in the hotel yesterday, I saw him walking out of a hotel room, hand in hand with a woman. They did not only talk and laugh happily, but they also kissed."

"What did you say? Are you sure it was him?" Vera threw her walking stick heavily on the floor and shouted angrily, "That jerk is cheating on Yolanda? How dare he! This is very embarrassing to the entire Lambert family."

Vera reacted like this because she had no idea what had happened between Yolanda and Dennis. And Since Liam didn't show up today, she immediately believed Dennis' words.

With a livid face, she said angrily, "Andrew, get Liam here right now. I will make sure he gets punished."
