Brian's Revenge: The rejected son-in-law Chapter 38
Brian softly opened the front door, attempting to make as little noise as possible. The events of the evening had left him fatigued, but the sight of Julie calmly sleeping on the sofa brought a sweet smile to his lips. He tiptoed closer, his footfall barely audible on the carpeted floor.The room was darkly lighted, giving a peaceful environment that contrasted with the tumult of their previous struggles. Julie lay there, her face softened by sleep, her hair streaming over the armrest. Brian's heart flooded with love for his wife. Careful not to disturb her, he leant down and scooped her into his arms, caressing her tenderly.Julie twitched slightly as Brian raised her, her eyes flickering open for a short time. A grin pulled at the corners of her lips when she recognized her spouse. "Brian?" she muttered, her voice weary."It's me, love," Brian murmured back, his voice a calming caress. "Let's get you to bed."Julie leant into him, her arms unconsciously curling around his neck. Bria

Mrs. Claire's mansion was decorated with excellent art and antique furnishings, a monument to the family's long-standing riches. As they neared the study, where Mrs. Claire generally conducted her crucial conversations, Brian felt a combination of apprehension and resolve.Upon entering the study, Mrs. Claire, the matriarch of the family, sat behind an elaborate desk. Her piercing eyes examined them closely, her stance exuding dominance. Julie, while little frightened, stood upright, her resolve showing through.With a firm voice, Julie relayed the news of Miss Anderson attending the dinner, explaining the significance of her position in Elysian Enterprise. As the words left her lips, Mrs. Claire's demeanour went from skepticism to amazement.

The room, laden with rare antiques and fine furniture, appeared to press in on her as her meticulously prepared strategy had been outmaneuvered.Mrs. Claire's eyes, normally bright and observant, were clouded with scepticism.

The clinking of a crystal glass rang across the dining room, and all eyes went toward Mrs. Claire, who stood up, her regal presence demanding the room's undivided attention. With controlled composure, she started to speak."Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's time to make an important announcement," Mrs. Claire announced, her voice bearing a tone of determination. "For years, I have held the post of CEO of our family's corporate empire. But now, I've determined that the time has come for a change in leadership. The burden of duty, and the function of the CEO, will be handed on to the next generation."A tremor of expectation raced through the gathering family members. Julie sat alongside Brian, her pulse hammering, as she felt her moment had finally come to fill the position that she had longed for.Mrs. Claire added, "It is with great pleasure that I introduce the new CEO of our family's company, Claire & Co. Enterprises, Mr. Matthew, my beloved grandson."The room plunged into sta

Mrs. Claire slid into the plush armchair in her study, her once-confident stance now bowed with fear. The room, furnished with exquisite furnishings and family photographs, appeared to press in on her as she repeated the events of the terrible dinner in her mind. The weight of her family's shame pressed down on her shoulders, and she couldn't shake off the sensation of responsibility.The dull light from the ancient chandelier threw spooky shadows on the walls, echoing the struggle inside her. She gripped her hands firmly, her fingers quivering, as she wrestled with the idea that her own vows had led to their ruin. Every word she had uttered, every guarantee she had offered, suddenly felt like a dreadful error."I should have been more careful with my words," she mumbled, her voice barely audible in the empty room. "I should have known better than to promise such a position to Julie and later change my mind without considering the consequences."Mrs. Claire's eyes, once filled wit

In the dimly lighted room, Brian and James met, their faces calm yet determined. The weight of the coming court struggle weighed thick in the air. James, ever the cool and controlled one, started, "Our lawyer is ready, Brian. He's prepared for the case tomorrow. Mrs. Claire tried, but she couldn't gain bail for her family members. They're still in detention."Brian nodded, his mouth gritted with determination. "Good. They need to face the repercussions of their behaviour. It's time they know how serious what they did to Julie and I is."James leaned closer, his eyes echoing the iron intent in Brian's stare. "We have the upper hand now, Brian. Mrs. Claire's image is soiled, and her family's power is dwindling. We may utilise this to our advantage in court."Brian ran a hand through his hair, his head humming with thoughts of the trial. "I won't let them complicate the issue anymore. They believed they could control everything, but they misjudged us. We have proof, witnesses, and the

Mrs. Joy rushed into the living room, her face distorted with anger. Her arrival was preceded by an aura of tension that filled the room, and her voice was harsh as she addressed Brian and Julie."If this is how you mean to stress my family, Brian," she yelled, "then I'll find someone else for my daughter to marry. Someone who can provide for her appropriately."Julie's eyes widened at her mother's remarks, astonished and saddened by the threat. She went closer to Brian, her hand seeking his for comfort. Brian's stare stayed fixed, his determination unshakable, despite the intensity of Mrs. Joy's comments."Mother," Julie started, her voice shaking, "Brian and I love one another, and we'll face any that faces us together. Marrying me off to someone else won't fix anything."Mrs. Joy's rage appeared to intensify as she focused her ire against Julie. "Love won't pay the bills, Julie," she responded. "You need a future and financial security."Brian took a step forward, his tone calm but
