Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 74: Taste your Karma!
Mr. Sanchez is calling him? This was unexpected. Mr. Sanchez, his father in-law who used to mocked and underestimate him before.“Mr. Sanchez,” Evan said, trying to keep his voice steady.“What do you need?”“I need to speak with you, Evan,” Mr. Sanchez said, his voice low and urgent. “It’s important. Meet me at the Brusco, besides Grand Emperor in an hour. I’ll be waiting.”Evan Winston arrogantly refused and told him if he already set an appointment because he has no time for a person who has not set schedule appointment. But Mr. Sanchez gently pleaded with Evan to meet him."Look, Mr. Sanchez, I appreciate the call, but I'm quite busy," Evan said, his voice laced with impatience. "If you'd like to schedule a meeting, I'm available next Tuesday at 2pm, but that's the only time I have.""Evan, please," Mr. Sanchez said, his voice softer now. "It's a matter of urgency"“I really need your help,”Mr. Sanchez added.Evan thought about Mr. Sanchez’s gambling habits, his notorious addictio
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 75: Changed
Mr. Sanchez got mad and disappointed because Evan before was different from Evan now who was arrogant. He confronted him for a huge change when now that Evan is wealthy and Evan bet him by telling him people changed and he said sarcastically that if he wants to borrow money, he will work for him. Mr. Sanchez was very shocked at his former son-in-law, Evan's words.The air thick with unspoken words, the two men sat in tense silence for a long moment. Years of resentment and hurt hung heavy in the room, a tangible weight that neither could escape.Evan, once a kind and loving son-in-law was now a successful and arrogant CEO and a Multi-billionaire.The silence was finally broken by Mr. Sanchez. "Evan," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I know what you're going through. The pain of betrayal is a heavy burden to bear. But Andrea... she didn't deserve this. She's a good girl, a kind soul.""Good girl?" Evan scoffed. "She's a fool. She betrayed me. She married a man who betrayed my
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 76: CEO's Identity
The words hung heavy in the air, and Mr. Sanchez felt the sting of heartbreak deep in his chest. He picked up his dignity, which had slipped to the floor among the shards of his pride, and turned away from Leo.As he stepped outside, he braced himself against the chill of the evening. The world felt colder now, as if the warmth of familial ties had grown fragile, ready to shatter at a moment's notice.As he walked towards the staircase that led to the second floor of the house, he encountered Andrea perched on the edge of the staircase, worry etched across her brow. She had always been perceptive, and it took mere seconds for her to sense the heaviness in his heart.“Dad?” she asked, her tone questioning. “What happened?”Mr. Sanchez hesitated, the hum of shame constricting his throat. “It’s nothing, just a little misunderstanding with Leo,” he replied, though every word felt like a lie.“He’s been distant lately,” Andrea commented, her voice betraying her frustration. “You know how h
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 77: Dark Plan
The disappointment in her voice was palpable; they were supposed to be in this together.In that charged moment, Mr. Sanchez’s face turned a shade of crimson, and he snapped. “I’m the one trying to protect you! Maybe instead of confronting him, you need to... I don’t know. Seduce him or something! Make him fall in love with you again.”The suggestion hung in the air, absurd and impossible, or so it seemed. Andrea stared at her father as if he had just suggested she fly to the moon. “Are you serious?” she blurted, her voice edging on incredulity. “You want me to go back to him? To pretend everything is fine?”Mr. Sanchez’s eyes darkened, a tinge of desperation lacing his words. “This is about survival, Andrea! He has power and money—he can help us! Use whatever it takes to win him over. We need that connection.”“Dad, that’s manipulating him!” she exclaimed, fighting the urge to shake sense into him. “What kind of person does that? I refuse to kneel before someone who’s hurt me!”“He w
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 78: Disrespectful
With a heavy heart, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the study, the oak door slamming shut behind her echoing her frustration.Outside, the sun’s early rays poured through the window, illuminating the breakfast table that lay before her—a stark reminder of the life she was trying to build, yet increasingly feeling stuck in. She felt caught between her father’s demands, Leo’s expectations, and her own conflicted emotions. Dragging her feet, Andrea resolved she wouldn’t let the discussion linger in her mind. She needed to find clarity.The next morning was a different story. Andrea stirred awake to the muffled sounds of shouting coming from downstairs. The voice was familiar—Leo. She bolted upright, her heart pounding as she hurried into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, her feet hitting the ground with urgency. With no time to spare, she rushed down the narrow staircase, dread pooling in her stomach.“—think you've got the right to ask me for money, of all things! You’re pathetic
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 79: Convince
Andrea felt a jolt of realization wash over her. In that moment, she knew that her loyalty to Leo had kept her blind to the truth. He had insulted her father, a man who had dedicated his life to her upbringing and happiness. The betrayal felt like a wound that needed to be addressed immediately.“Maybe you’re right,” she said quietly, her brow furrowing. “I can’t keep defending Leo when he treats you this way. It’s not fair.”Mr. Sanchez’s eyes softened, and Andrea saw the hurt but also the resolve within them. “You need to prioritize yourself and what you want, Andrea. He may be your husband, but remember who has always been there for you.”With a heavy heart and a new clarity, Andrea decided she had to take action. It wouldn’t be easy, and she would need to step into calculations that might just twist her fate.The sun peeked through the curtains, casting long shadows across the bedroom. Andrea lay in bed, wide awake, thoughts of the previous day's confrontation swirling in her mind
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 80: Play Along
Marga felt jealousy and anger brewing within her, but she knew she had no choice. However, she was utterly surprised when Evan spoke.“Ah, Marga, perfect timing,” Evan said with a calm, confident smile.“I’d like to introduce you to Andrea. She’ll be joining us as my new secretary.”Marga’s jaw dropped slightly, but she quickly composed herself. “Your new secretary?” she echoed, her voice strained."Of course, sweetheart. I'm thinking that I need to replace you as my secretary and just have you here as my girlfriend," Evan continued smoothly.Andrea’s eyes widened, and she frowned in disbelief. Marga, on the other hand, looked equally shocked but masked it quickly. Evan’s words cut through the tension in the room like a knife, and he acted nonchalant and cold towards Andrea, as if to show he had moved on completely.Evan's calm demeanor was a façade, but he maintained it. “Andrea, I trust you understand the new dynamics here,” he said, his voice cool and detached.Andrea felt a pang o
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 81: Uncovered
In the evening, as she was about to leave work, the sky opened up, and a torrential downpour began. Andrea stood at the front of the building, frustrated and exhausted. She had no umbrella, and there were no taxis in sight.Meanwhile, Evan watched her from a distance inside his car. He felt a pang of concern but quickly pushed it aside. He had a plan to make her jealous, and he needed to stick to it.As Marga exited the building, Evan saw his opportunity. He drove up and rolled down the window. "Sweet heart! Get inside" he called out, loud enough for Andrea to hear.Marga looked surprised but quickly nodded. "Thank you, S..," she said, getting into the car.Andrea watched the scene unfold, her heart sinking. She couldn't believe Evan was treating Marga so warmly. It was unlike him to be so overtly affectionate, especially in front of her. She felt a pang of jealousy and regret, memories of her betrayal with Leo flashing through her mind.As Evan and Marga drove away, Evan stole a glan

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
