Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 161: Operation
Evan gave a slow nod, though inside he wasn’t sure if anyone could be truly ready for something like this. “We need to make sure this ends tonight.”Connor pulled up a chair and sat opposite him. “We will. But don’t let the anger cloud your judgment, Evan. Damien has always been calculating, always one step ahead. We need to play this smart.”Evan appreciated the reminder, but something inside him burned hotter than logic or strategy. The betrayal cut deep, not just because Damien had faked his death, but because he had stood by and let their lives unravel, let the company fall into chaos. It was unforgivable.“We’re walking into a lion’s den,” Maya said, entering the room, her expression serious. “I’ve got intel that several key figures will be there tonight, but there’s no telling what kind of security they’ll have in place.”

Evan’s breath caught in his throat as Damien’s presence filled the hallway. His brother—whom he had believed dead—stood before him, a grim and unsettling reminder of the deceit that had shattered his world.Damien’s cold gaze never wavered, his expression an emotionless mask. “You should have stayed away,” he said, his voice like ice. “You’re meddling in matters far beyond your control.”Evan’s heart pounded. The confrontation he’d anticipated had come sooner than expected. His mind raced, struggling to reconcile the brother he once knew with the man who now exuded menace and power. “Why, Damien? Why all this? You faked your death, manipulated everything—”Damien cut him off, a sinister smile curling his lips. “You think you understand it all? You know nothing, Evan. This was never about you or your petty empire. This is about reshaping the world as we know it. And yo
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 163: Encrypted files
The drive to the safe house was tense, punctuated by the low hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of papers as Maya fidgeted with the encrypted files. The road stretched out before them, dimly lit by streetlights that flickered like ghosts in the night. Connor, in the passenger seat, kept glancing nervously over his shoulder, as if expecting to see the shadows of their pursuers closing in.Evan’s grip tightened on the steering wheel, his mind racing through the implications of Damien’s betrayal. The confrontation had been brutal and revealing, but it had also left him with more questions than answers. What was Damien’s ultimate goal? How far did this conspiracy reach? And most importantly, how could he stop it?Maya broke the silence, her voice strained with urgency. “We need to get to the safe house and analyze this data immediately. If what Damien said is true, we’re dealing with a global-scale threat.”Connor nodded,
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 164:
The dim glow of the streetlights flickered outside the car windows as Evan, Connor, and Maya drove away from the rendezvous point. The night was oppressive, filled with the heavy weight of their recent escape and the looming threat of their pursuers. Evan’s mind raced as he tried to piece together the fragments of their plan and what lay ahead.“We need to find a secure location where we can regroup,” Evan said, his voice steady despite the underlying tension. “Somewhere off the grid, away from prying eyes.”Connor nodded, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. “There’s a remote cabin I know of. It’s secluded and has served as a hideout before. It should be safe.”Maya glanced over from the backseat, her face pale but determined. “We need to keep moving. They won’t give up easily, and we need to be prepared for anything.”The cabin Connor referred to was located deep in the wo
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 165: Attacked
The cabin was behind them, swallowed by the trees and fading into the wilderness as they followed Agent Harris toward the next location. Evan could still feel the weight of the situation pressing on his chest, a constant reminder of the dangers lurking in every shadow. Beside him, Maya clutched the laptop with the files, her face drawn and pale from exhaustion. Connor, though still vigilant, was beginning to show signs of wear, his usually sharp eyes betraying his fatigue.The dim forest around them was eerily quiet, their footsteps the only sound disturbing the stillness. Each crunch of leaves underfoot echoed like a drumbeat, marking the tension between them. Harris walked ahead, his expression unreadable, but the urgency in his movements was unmistakable. They weren’t safe. Not yet.Evan kept his hand close to the weapon at his side, his senses on high alert. He had been in high-stakes situations before, but something about this—about the conspiracy, the high-level players involved
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 166: Save Marga!
Evan's heart pounded in his chest as the deafening crash echoed through the bunker. The reinforced door rattled under the pressure of the assault. Time was running out.“Maya, how much longer?” Evan called, his voice tense but controlled as he braced against the door with Harris and Connor.“I’m almost there,” Maya replied, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she worked to secure the files into the vault. “Just a few more seconds.”Evan glanced at Harris, whose face was slick with sweat. "They're not going to wait much longer. Get ready."Connor was visibly shaken, but his grip on his weapon tightened. His hands trembled slightly, but his jaw was set in determination. “We’ve been through worse,” he muttered, though the statement felt more like a mantra to convince himself than a reality check.Evan could sense the fear in the air, but there was no time for hesitation. "Connor, Harris

Evan lunged forward, gunfire erupting around him as he felt the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. The bunker exploded into chaos; bullets whizzed past, ricocheting off the reinforced walls. Harris and Connor were quick to follow his lead, unleashing a barrage of fire on the intruders who flooded in. “Stay sharp!” Evan shouted, keeping his focus razor-edged. Each enemy he downed only intensified the burning image of Marga’s frightened face, urging him forward. He could hear shouts and the clanging of weapons—Killian’s henchmen were relentless. Suddenly, a flash of movement caught his eye—a figure darting past a pile of crates. “Cover me!” he yelled, darting towards the shadow. With every step, he could almost hear Marga’s voice urging him on. As he rounded the corner, he found a familiar face—Leo, grinning like a wolf. “Evan,” Leo sneered, raising his gun. “You always were too slow.” In that instant, everything else faded; it was just Evan and the man who betrayed him.
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 168:The Final Stand
As they reached the tree line, Evan halted, scanning their surroundings. The shadows cast by the moon danced around them, and the air was thick with tension. “We need to find a way to communicate,” he said, pulling out his phone. The screen blinked back a frustrating “No Service.” Anxiety crept into his chest as he glanced at Marga, her face illuminated by the faint glow.“What now?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Evan took a deep breath, forcing himself to focus. “We split up. Harris, Connor, you take the left; Marga and I will head right. Stay low and silent.” “Got it,” Harris replied, nodding with determination. Connor gripped his weapon tightly, ready to follow.“Keep an eye out for anything unusual. We can’t let them catch us off guard,” Evan warned, feeling the weight of leadership pressing down on him.They nodded in agreement, a silent understanding passing between them. As they slipped into the shadows, Evan could feel his heart racing. Each step felt heavy, the fo

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,

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

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
