Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 143: Note
3 days later..The setting sun cast long shadows across the living room, its warm light filtering through the lace curtains. Marga’s home, though modest, now felt like a sanctuary, a cocoon where the struggle of recent days could slowly recede into the background. Marga busied herself preparing a light dinner for her mother, a task that brought both comfort and distraction.Her mother, seated in an armchair by the window, looked out at the garden with a serene expression. The vibrant colors of the blooming flowers seemed to reflect her own gradual return to health. Liam, who had taken over some of the household chores, was in the kitchen, humming softly to himself as he arranged the food.Marga walked over to her mother, a tray of soup in her hands. “How are you feeling now, Mom? Is there anything else you need?”Her mother turned her gaze to Marga, her eyes soft but tired. “I’m doing better, dear. The soup smells wonderful. I’m just grateful to be home.”Marga settled the tray on the

On the other hand, Elias approached with a quiet step, carrying a fresh bottle of wine. He noticed Evan’s far-off gaze and the contemplative look on his face. “Evening, Boss,” Elias said, setting the bottle down with practiced ease. “It looks like something’s on your mind.”Evan turned his head slightly, acknowledging Elias’s presence without fully meeting his eyes. “Evening, Elias,” he replied, his voice carrying a weight of introspection. “Just… thinking.”Elias raised an eyebrow, sensing that the source of Evan’s preoccupation was personal rather than professional. “I’d venture a guess that this thinking has something to do with Marga, Boss?”Evan’s eyes softened as he finally met Elias’s gaze. “Yes, you’re right. I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately. The distance feels longer than it should.”Elias chuckled softly, taking a seat across from Evan. “Well, I’ve been following your progress, and I know you’ve got a lot on your plate. But from what I hear, Marga’s been handling ev

Marga’s heart skipped a beat. She stared at the message in disbelief, her mind racing with a mixture of surprise and concern. The sum was staggering, far beyond what she had anticipated. She knew Evan’s intentions were likely rooted in love and support, but the amount felt overwhelming.She quickly composed a response:“Evan, I just saw your message. I’m grateful for your support, but this amount is far too much. I don’t want to involve money in our relationship or make it feel like a transaction. I appreciate your generosity, but I hope you can understand where I’m coming from.”She hesitated before hitting send, unsure of how her message would be received. Her fingers hovered over the screen as she waited for Evan’s reply, her heart pounding with apprehension.The response came almost immediately:“Marga, I understand your feelings, and I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortabl

Andrea took a deep breath, her eyes darting around the room before finally meeting his. “Leo… he’s been acting strange for months, disappearing without explanation, coming home drunk, smelling of perfume that isn’t mine… And now, he’s been gone for three days. I called his friends, checked everywhere. Nothing.”Evan listened quietly, his expression unreadable. "And you think I can help with that?"“I know it sounds absurd,” Andrea admitted, her voice small, “but I don’t know where else to turn. He… he’s been violent, Evan. He hurt me. I was scared, but now… now I just want to know he’s okay. I thought you might know something.”A flicker of anger crossed Evan’s face. “Why would I know anything about Leo?”Andrea hesitated. “I heard… someone mentioned seeing you with him at a bar a few nights ago. I thought maybe you…”Evan's expression hardened. “I did see him, yes. He was with another woman. I gave him a piece of my mind, but I didn’t think it was my place to do more. And I certainly
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 147: Disaster
Evan sat in his sleek car, his mind replaying the conversation with Elias. The urgency in Elias's voice, the fear for his brother's safety, had struck a chord in him. He knew Elias to be a loyal ally, someone who had always been by his side through thick and thin. If Elias's brother was truly innocent, then extending his help was the right thing to do.His thoughts briefly flicked back to the looming board meeting that required his immediate attention. But he brushed it aside; some things were more important. "I’ll arrange the money," he said, his voice steady with resolve. "But I need you to keep me updated on the progress. Make sure every dollar is used wisely. I’ll send the funds over within the hour."Relief flooded Elias’s voice. "Thank you, Boss. I’ll keep you posted. I appreciate this more than you know."Evan ended the call, feeling the weight of the decision he had just made. He turned to Andrea, who stood in the doorway, her face a mask of uncertainty. He could sense the hop

"Boss, what’s going on? I just got the news. Are you okay?"Evan glanced at the building, its imposing glass facade now a grim reminder of the danger inside. "I’m fine. The building’s been evacuated. They received a bomb threat, and they’re currently searching for the device. But I need to know if there’s any chance this could be connected to your brother’s situation."There was a pause on the other end."I don’t know. This isn’t something we usually deal with. But… if you think there’s a connection, it could mean someone’s trying to send a message."Evan’s jaw clenched. "It’s too coincidental. I’ll keep you posted on what I find. If you hear anything else, let me know immediately.""Will do," Elias replied, his voice taut with worry. "Stay safe, Boss."Evan ended the call and watched as the bomb squad worked. His head of security approached him, his face more somber than usual. "The sweep is still ongoing. We haven’t found anything yet, but the threat seems real. They’ve advised us t
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 149: The combats
Connor’s voice was tense, cutting through the hum of Evan's car engine. “I found out who’s behind this. Leo Carter hired a group called ‘Combats.’ They're mercenaries with a reputation for… unconventional methods.”Evan's grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Combats? What do they do?”Connor hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “They're specialists in remote sabotage. They can plant bombs from a distance, dropping them in from drones or even throwing them into position with precision. They’ve been known to pull off hits like this for money—or revenge.”Evan’s heartbeat quickened. “Why would Leo hire them? What’s he after?”“I’m not sure yet,” Connor admitted. “But I have a contact who dealt with them before. He told me the Combats don’t just work for money; they’re about making statements. If Leo hired them, he might be trying to send a message—something personal.”Evan glanced at the rearview mirror, spotting the flashing lights of police cars in the distance. “Keep digging, Co
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 150: Back up
The first man lunged at him, swinging a baton with a swift, practiced arc. Evan sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the blow, and countered with a sharp punch to the man’s ribs. The attacker grunted, doubling over, and Evan followed up with an elbow to the side of his head, knocking him to the ground.But there was no time to celebrate the small victory. Two more closed in, their movements synchronized, clearly trained to work together. One swung a knife toward Evan’s midsection while the other aimed a kick at his legs, trying to unbalance him.Evan twisted, narrowly avoiding the knife, and grabbed the foot of the man aiming the kick, yanking him off balance. The man stumbled, and Evan delivered a sharp kick to his chest, sending him sprawling back. He spun around just in time to block another blow, catching the wrist of the knife-wielder and twisting hard. The man yelped in pain, dropping the knife, and Evan used the moment to deliver a hard punch to his jaw.

Chapter 180: The End
The sun rose over Rising Eagle Tower, casting a warm glow across Evan’s office. He leaned back in his chair, sipping his coffee and contemplating the new initiatives they had planned for the upcoming year. Despite the success they had achieved, he felt the familiar tingle of uncertainty creeping back—new challenges were on the horizon.Marga entered, a folder in hand. “Evan, have you seen these reports?” she asked, a frown creasing her brow. “The community outreach programs are facing budget cuts. If we don’t act fast, we’ll have to scale back on several projects.”Evan’s heart sank. “What do you suggest?”“We need to rally the community and reach out to our partners for additional funding. We’ve built strong relationships; now it’s time to leverage them.”“Let’s schedule a meeting with the board,” he replied, determination hardening his resolve. &l
Chapter 180: New Dawn
The black SUV rolled to a stop, dust swirling around its tires. Evan’s heart raced as he exchanged a glance with Marga and Connor. They had barely escaped one danger, and now another threat loomed large before them.“Stay alert,” Evan warned, raising his weapon slightly. “It could be more of Killian’s men.”As the SUV’s doors swung open, three figures emerged, weapons drawn. Evan’s breath caught in his throat as he recognized the lead figure—Detective Julia Marks, a close ally from his past missions. Relief flooded through him, but it was quickly replaced by caution.“Evan! Marga! Connor!” Julia called, waving her arms as she approached, her expression a mix of urgency and concern. “We need to move, now!”Evan lowered his weapon, confusion etched on his face. “What are you doing here?”“We got intel about Killian’s operations,” she explained,

Evan’s heart pounded in his chest as he followed Connor and Marga through the dense underbrush, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Each step felt like a challenge, the weight of the previous battles heavy on his shoulders. He could hear the sounds of pursuit behind them—shouts and the crack of branches underfoot.“Marga, stay close!” he urged, glancing back to ensure she was right behind him. The fear etched on her face reminded him of what was at stake. He felt a surge of protectiveness, a fierce need to keep her safe.“Where are we headed?” Connor called back, urgency lacing his voice.“There’s a cave system nearby,” Evan replied, recalling a map he’d memorized during their earlier missions. “It should provide some cover.”“Let’s hope it’s not too far!” Connor shouted, his breaths coming in quick bursts.They reached a rocky outcrop, and Evan
Chapter 179
The sun glinted off the glass façade of Rising Eagle Tower, casting long shadows over the bustling city below. Evan stood in his corner office, his gaze sweeping across the skyline, the weight of the past behind him and the future stretching before him like an open road.It had been a year since the fall of Killian and Leo, their nefarious empire dismantled piece by piece. Justice had finally caught up with them, and Evan had ensured they were brought to trial, where they faced the consequences of their actions. Their sentences had been severe—years behind bars, where they could do no more harm.Now, Rising Eagle was thriving under Evan’s leadership. He had transformed the company, steering it towards innovation and ethical practices, making it a beacon of hope in the industry. But the greatest transformation had been within himself. No longer the man haunted by fear and uncertainty, he was now a confident leader, driven by purpose.Marga walk
Chapter 178: Rapid bursts
Evan’s heart raced as he faced Leo, the dim light of the forest casting eerie shadows across the man’s smirk. “Looks like the tables have turned,” Leo taunted, aiming his weapon with a steady hand. “Step aside, Leo,” Evan warned, his voice low but resolute. “This isn’t your fight anymore.”“Oh, but it is!” Leo laughed, a dark edge to his tone. “You think you can just walk away from this? You’ve made it personal.”Marga’s grip tightened around Evan’s arm. “We need to move,” she whispered urgently, glancing over her shoulder, as if sensing Killian lurking nearby.Evan’s mind raced. They were outnumbered and trapped between Leo and the threat of Killian lurking in the shadows. “Leo, you don’t want to do this,” he said, trying to reason with him. “We can work together to take down Killian.”“Ha! And give up my chance at revenge? Not a chance!” Leo’s eyes gleamed with fanatic determination. “You took everything from me. Now it’s your turn to suffer.”Evan took a step forward, lowering his
Chapter 177: Hearts in the Crossfire
The gunshot reverberated through the clearing, and Evan’s instincts kicked in. He turned to Marga, whose eyes were wide with fear. “Stay low!” he commanded, pulling her behind a nearby tree just as the echoes of chaos unfolded around them.“What’s happening?” Marga’s voice trembled, but Evan could see a spark of determination in her gaze.“They’re not done yet,” he replied, scanning their surroundings. Killian and his men were regrouping, but the looming presence of law enforcement from the searchlight added a new layer of tension. Evan’s heart raced, fueled by both adrenaline and the need to protect Marga.“I can’t let you face this alone,” she said, her voice steadying. “We’re in this together, remember?”Evan turned to her, a mix of admiration and love flooding his chest. “You’re right. Together.” He took a deep breath, the warmth of her presence igniting a fire within him. “We need to fight back.”They crouched low, stealing glances at the chaos unfolding just beyond the tree line
Chapter 176: The Edge of Darkness
Evan and Marga pressed deeper into the cavern, the distant roar of engines and shouts echoing ominously behind them. The flickering light from the explosive had left shadows dancing along the walls, creating a disorienting maze that seemed to swallow them whole.“Which way?” Marga panted, her eyes wide with urgency.“Follow me,” Evan replied, determination surging within him. The adrenaline from their confrontation with Killian still coursed through his veins, sharpening his senses. “We need to find another exit.”They navigated through the labyrinth of rock, the air thick with dust and tension. Each echo of footsteps sent jolts of anxiety through Evan, but he kept moving forward. He couldn’t let fear grip him; he had to be their anchor.Suddenly, the sound of their pursuers grew louder. Voices shouted commands, followed by the screech of tires on gravel. “They’re coming,” Marga whispered, glancing back, her fear palpable.“Stay close,” Evan urged, tightening his grip on her hand. The
Chapter 175: Shadows to Strength
Evan's world blurred in and out of focus as he lay on the cold, hard ground of the cavern. Pain radiated from the knife wound in his side, each pulse sending shockwaves through his body. Marga’s frantic voice filled his ears, but the words were muffled, fading into a haunting echo.“Evan! Stay with me!” He could feel her warmth against him, her presence a tether pulling him back from the brink. He forced himself to open his eyes, locking onto her determined gaze. “Marga,” he murmured, each breath feeling like a monumental effort. “I—”“Don’t you dare say it!” Her voice was fierce, cutting through the fog of pain and despair. “You’re going to fight this. We’re going to get out of here.”A surge of gratitude washed over him as he squeezed her hand tighter. In that moment, something shifted within him. He realized that he couldn’t let her down. Not now. Not ever.With a groan, he pushed himself up, using every ounce of strength he could muster. “Killian,” he rasped, the name igniting a
Chapter 174: Fragments of Hope
Evan's world spun into chaos as darkness enveloped him. Time felt distorted, each heartbeat echoing in his ears, drowning out the noise of the outside world. He struggled against the void, a desperate need to cling to Marga anchoring him to reality.“Stay with me!” he shouted, but his voice echoed in an abyss. Images of Marga’s face, full of life and determination, flooded his mind, fueling his fight against the encroaching darkness. Suddenly, a bright light pierced through, and he felt a jolt of pain shoot through his body. Evan gasped, blinking against the harsh brightness of the moonlight filtering through the trees. “Marga!” he croaked, scrambling to his feet, disoriented. Panic clawed at his throat as he searched the ground for her, dread pooling in his stomach.“Marga!” he shouted again, voice raw with desperation. He stumbled toward where he had last seen her, fear pushing him forward. As he rounded a tree, he found her lying on the ground, her face pale against the backdrop
