Suddenly Leo's phone rang, a piercing sound that cut through the quiet.“Excuse me,” he said, pulling his phone from his pocket. “It’s probably about the project.”“It’s okay,” Andrea said, her voice barely audible.Leo turned away, his face etched with worry as he answered the call.“Hello? Yes, it's Leo. What's up?” he said, his voice tightening.Andrea watched as his face slowly contorted with growing tension. The words he spoke were barely audible, but the urgency in his voice was clear.“Oh, no. Tell me you can fix it,” he said, a desperate edge to his tone.Andrea's stomach twisted. She knew he was talking about his company. She knew something was wrong.“Okay. Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can. Just… try to calm down,” he mumbled into the phone.He hung up, his shoulders slumped, his face pale. “Andrea, I... I have a big problem. Something went wrong with the new project. I need to go to the office.”“What happened?” she asked, her voice steady, though her insides were churn
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 65: Comfort rooms

I have done your order to punish Mrs.Carter"The HR staff said.Evan smirked at what he heard from the HR staff. "Good job! May I know what her punishment is?" He asked."Her punishment is to clean all the comfort rooms from 1st floor to 8th floor"the HR staff stated.Evan was shocked at what he heard from the HR staff. He didn't expect the punishment for Andrea. He knew Andrea never knew about cleaning the comfort rooms and she was very sensitive when it comes to dirt. Deep inside Evan felt a little bit worried about his ex-wife despite his anger towards her."Give me access to all CCTV around the comfort rooms now!"he ordered. "Okay, Mr.Winston. hold on"The HR staff replied, calmly. When Evan got access to all comfort rooms, he frowned when he saw a group of men taking cigarettes while laughing at Andrea.

Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 66: CCTV
The HR staff member flinched, her brow furrowing. She remembered Evan's order to keep his identity a secret from Andrea. “That information is confidential, Mrs. Carter. We are not authorized to disclose such details,” she said, her voice tight.“Please focus on your work.”Despite her protests, Andrea couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The HR representative's evasive response, the CEO's mysterious identity, it all seemed strange. But she didn't have time to dwell on it. As the days turned into weeks, Andrea found herself constantly under scrutiny. Her every move, every break, was monitored. The pressure was relentless, and she began to feel like a prisoner in her job.Evan slammed his fist on the mahogany table, sending a tremor through the room. The HR staff, huddled in a circle, shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze.“Make it difficult,” he growled, his voice thick with anger. “Make her life a living hell. I want her to regret ever crossing me.”The head of

On the other hand, Evan saw Andrea and Marga on the CCTV inside his office. His eyes widen in panic and he picked up his phone.While Marga stopped at her words when her phone suddenly rang and she was scared of Evan’s voice from the other line.“Come to the office now, Marga! Hurry up!”Evan ordered her dominantly.A few minutes later, Marga arrived at his office and approached him as she was paying respect to him by bowing her head.“Sir,”she uttered.“I heard you mentioned my name to Andrea. Marga, Andrea should not know about my position.”Evan said, his gaze sharp as he fixed her with a look that sent a shiver down her spine.Marga, his efficient and loyal secretary, winced at his disapproval.“I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't realize,” she stammered, her fingers nervously tracing the edge of her desk.“I’m just curious if she knew you and I... I thought it was fine to say.”Evan sighed, the tension in his shoulders palpable. “It's not fine, Marga. It's crucial that Andrea remains unaware

LEO’S MANSION, 11 pm.. Andrea's legs trembled as she stepped into the opulent foyer of the mansion. The polished marble floor reflected the chandelier's dazzling glow, casting long, dancing shadows. Yet, none of it mattered. Her gaze was locked on Leo, perched on the plush velvet sofa, his face etched with an anger that sent shivers down her spine.“Where have you been?” Leo's voice was a low rumble, laced with a simmering fury that threatened to boil over.“Hmmm, from my friend,” Andrea stammered, hoping the flimsy excuse would suffice.Leo's eyebrows shot up, his eyes narrowing. “Don't lie to me, Andrea. I'm not a fool!” His voice rose a notch, sending a wave of guilt washing over her.Andrea's throat tightened. She knew Leo would erupt if she told him the truth. The truth that she, the pampered wife of a businessman, had been working a job, a utility staff position at other company, to earn her own money.It was something she had kept hidden, a secret she believed would be a blow
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 69: Hidden Job
Andrea couldn’t answer, but deep inside her heart, she regretted leaving Evan before when she thought he was impotent. Now, Evan was obviously a successful and wealthy man, despite her not knowing who he really was. She hadn’t known that he was the CEO of the company she worked at weeks ago.“You don’t know him, Andrea! He’s a loser! Remember?” Leo’s voice had an edge to it, a note of defensiveness that made Andrea wince.“I know enough and he is not. ” Andrea countered, her voice shaking slightly.“You knew him when he was broke, he was a nobody! I’m the one who provided for you, I’m the one who can give you a good life.”“That’s not what I want, Leo!” Andrea burst out, tears welling up in her eyes. “You’re blinded by your own ambition. You’re so focused on proving yourself, on being the best, that you’ve forgotten what truly matters.”“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Leo’s anger was rising now, his face flushed.“It means that love, kindness, understanding, those are the things that
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 70: Andrea's Absence
CEO's office Building, 9:00 amWhen Evan arrived at the company, his eyes involuntarily darted to the CCTV camera, hoping to catch a glimpse of Andrea. However, the screen remained blank, leaving him with a sense of unease. With a furrowed brow, he summoned the HR manager, his voice terse.“Where is Andrea?” he demanded.The HR manager, a middle-aged woman with a stern demeanor, cleared her throat. “Mrs.Carter is currently on sick leave, Mr.Winston,”“Sick leave?” Evan's lips curled into a sneer. “What a convenient excuse.”“I have her medical certificate here, Mr. Smith,” the HR manager replied, producing a document from her folder.Evan snatched it from her hand and skimmed through it. His suspicions were confirmed: Andrea had indeed called in sick with a doctor's note. A surge of anger washed over him as he realized that she was trying to avoid him.“This is absurd,” Evan muttered under his breath. “She's just trying to get out of work.”“I assure you, Mr. Winston, Mrs. Carter’s il

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

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
