Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 19: Termination
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
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 20: Wounded pride
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
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 22: Their Mistake
Evan gently reached for the necklace, his fingers lightly brushing against Marga's as he secured it around her neck. A mix of excitement and apprehension filled her heart as she realized the significance behind his gesture. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Sanchez, Evan and Marga left the store, their steps carrying them away from the prying eyes of the sales staff."Thank you" Marga whispered, her voice barely audible amidst the soft murmurs.As they said their goodbyes to Mrs. Sanchez and stepped out of the jewelry store, Marga couldn't contain her curiosity. "Sir," she spoke up.Evan looked at her coldly before she continued."Why did you give me this?" she asked, her eyes searching for answers in Evan's gaze.Evan spoke honestly, "Don't misunderstand. 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
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 24: She's a Pawn
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. "Emily, could you please excuse us for a moment please?""Of course, Marga. I apologize, sir. I'll leave now," Emily replied, casting a curious glance at Evan before refocusing on her tasks.Evan led the way to a nearby conference room, his mind still processing the revelation of Marga's conversation. Once inside, he turned to face her, his features tense with anticipation."What was that all about, Marga?" he demanded, his voice low and controlled.Marga shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny, her earlier con

"What is it, Boss?" 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. "I know he'll be shocked to learn that I'm the one who's been lending him money all this time," he added.Meanwhile, Mr. San Fuente sat in his cluttered office, the dim light from his computer screen illuminating the papers scattered across his desk. He rubbed his weary eyes and let out a heavy sigh, feeling the immense burden weighing him do
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 26: Proposition
Mr. Fuente felt a surge of guilt rising within him, threatening to consume him whole. How dare Evan show his face here, after he fired him a long time ago? How dare he waltz in and act as though nothing had happened?"What are you doing here, Evan?" Mr. San Fuente demanded, his voice laced with venom. Evan's grin only widened at Mr. Fuente's question, a glint of malice dancing in his eyes."Oh, I think you already know the answer to that, Mr. San Fuente," he replied, his tone dripping with smug satisfaction. "I'm here to offer you a deal. A chance to save your precious little company from the brink of collapse."Mr. Fuente's blood ran cold at Evan's words. A deal? What kind of deal could Evan possibly offer him? And more importantly, what strings would be attached?"Don’t tell me you’re Elias' Boss" Mr. San Fuente shook his head.Evan leaned forward, his gaze locking onto Mr. San Fuente's with an intensity that sent shivers down his spine. “Is it hard to believe, Mr.San Fuente?”he

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

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,

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

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 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.

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
