Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 18: Owned by him
The following morning, Evan was awakened by the persistent ringing of his phone as the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains. Seeing that it was Marga calling, he answered."Good morning, Mr. Winston," Marga greeted him cheerfully. "I hope you had a good night's sleep."Evan stifled a yawn. "Morning, Marga. What's on the schedule for today?""You have a meeting set for 10:00 AM at Yellow Creek Resort to discuss the new spa facility development," Marga informed him."The architects and contractors will be there."Evan's brow furrowed slightly.

I'll be there."Evan replied.Evan ended the call, got up from his bed, and made his way to the window.

As Evan entered his room, his mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts. Determined to take action, he swiftly grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the resort manager, demanding to speak with him right away."Good day, Mr. Winston," the manager answered, his voice laced with surprise."How may I assist you?""I am calling to terminate our contract with Alabama Supplies, owned by Mr. Leo Carter," Evan stated icily."Effective immediately.""But Mr. Winston," the manager protested, "Alabama Supplies has been our main wine supplier for years. We have never encountered any issues with them.""I couldn't care less," Evan replied curtly."Just do what i said!""Well, I'm not certain if I can simply cancel our contract like that," the manager hesitated."We have a legally binding agreement.""You should and you will," Evan asserted firmly."Or else, I will find someone else who can replace you," he threatened.The manager let out a sigh. "Alright, Mr. Winston. I will prepare the ter

As Andrea managed to convince Leo to leave, they walked out of the restaurant together. Leo couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment washing over him, and he noticed Evan's smirk from the corner of his eye. It was a playful expression, but to Leo, it felt like a direct hit to his wounded pride."You're here, bastard!'Leo raised his voice."What's funny?" Leo snapped, his voice filled with anger.Evan's smirk grew wider. "Oh, nothing much. Just the sight of a grown man throwing a tantrum in a restaurant.""I'm not throwing a tantrum!" Leo protested, his face turning red with frustration."Of course not," Evan replied sarcastically."You're just a mature, responsible adult who can't handle a little criticism."Andrea, who had been silently simmering with anger, couldn't stay quiet any longer."Leave us alone, Evan. He's upset.""Upset?" Evan repeated, his voice dripping with amusement."I'd say he's more than just upset, he's humiliated."Leo's fists clenched tightly. "You're quit
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 21: Partnership
Mr. Jones paused briefly before responding, “I'll check if he's free.” Meanwhile, across town, Evan was in a business meeting with Marga. As the meeting wrapped up, Evan's phone rang. It was Mr. Jones. “Mr. Winston,” Mr. Jones whispered, “Mr. Carter is here and he wants to talk to you.” Evan's jaw clenched. “Let him know I'm not available,” he said sharply. Mr. Jones sounded desperate. “But Mr. Winston, he's insistent on speaking with you. It's regarding the ongoing issue with his company.” Evan remained firm. “Mr. Jones, I've made it clear I don't want to talk with him. I have no interest in his words. Deal with it yourself.” With that, Evan hung up and refocused on the meeting. Marga, who had observed the interaction, couldn't help but wonder about the situation between Evan and Mr. Jones. As the meeting concluded, Evan and Marga navigated their way through the bustling mall. Suddenly, Evan's phone rang once more. It was Mr. Jones, sounding even more urgent than before. “Mr

A mix of excitement and apprehension filled her heart as she realized the significance behind his gesture.

It's all part of a show, Marga."Marga's eyebrows raised slightly. "A show, sir?""Indeed," Evan replied, his voice low and intense."Mrs. Sanchez has always believed that I am a poor and worthless husband during my marriage to her dau
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 23: The Necklace
Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez exchanged a quick, furtive glance, their minds racing to find a believable explanation for their daughter's absence."Oh, Leo, we were just...discussing the unusual weather. It's been so unpredictable lately,"Mr. Sanchez stumbled.Mrs. Sanchez nodded softly, her voice barely audible, "Yes, the weather has been quite erratic."Leo's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. "Really? Well, if you're sure, then I'll go."Leo entered the bedroom and discovered Andrea applying makeup at the vanity mirror."Andrea," Leo called out, "we need to talk now."Andrea paused, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and concern. "What's the matter, Leo?""I overheard your parents talking about me," Leo said, his voice filled with emotion."And it wasn't positive."Andrea's eyes widened. "That can't be true. They adore you a lot.""I heard them," Leo insisted. "They regret choosing me as their son-in-law."Andrea's face grew pale. "No, that's i

Evan's gaze remained unwavering as he locked eyes with Marga. "Long enough to hear about your gossip regarding the necklace, Marga."Marga stumbled over her words, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. "I-I apologize, Sir. I didn't mean—""Enough," Evan interrupted, his tone sharp. "I didn't come here to discuss personal matters. I need to speak with you privately."Marga nodded, a mixture of apprehension and remorse evident on her face. She motioned towards her coworker.

Elias asked, his voice calm and composed."I need you to arrange a meeting with Mr. San Fuente," Evan instructed firmly.Elias paused, taking a moment to fully grasp the seriousness of Evan's request."Why, boss?" he inquired."I want you to offer him a huge amount of money again. I heard his company is facing bankruptcy," Evan replied resolutely."Okay, Boss. So how much should we offer him?" Elias questioned."Leave it to me," he smirked. "What do you mean, Boss?" Elias asked, his confusion evident."There's a plot twist," Evan responded. "I am the one who will meet him. I will now reveal my identity to him," he declared.
