Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 85:I'm not like you!
Over the next few days, Andrea kept a close eye on Evan and Marga, observing their interactions and looking for any signs of weakness. She knew she had to be patient and wait for the right moment to strike. But as she watched them, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt. She had made mistakes in the past, but this felt different. More wrong.Andrea spent her days pretending to be absorbed in her work while discreetly watching Evan and Marga from a distance. She noticed the little things: the way Evan’s eyes lit up when Marga entered the room, the subtle touches they exchanged, the laughter that seemed to flow so easily between them. It was clear that they were happy, and that realization stung more than she cared to admit.One afternoon, as Andrea was leaving the office, she saw Marga sitting alone in the break room. Seizing the opportunity, she approached her with a friendly smile. Marga looked up from her phone, her expression neutral but curious.“Hey, Marga,” Andrea began, t
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 86: Sleep with ex
Evan was surprised to hear that from Andrea. Her eyes looked sincere, and her voice was steady. For a moment, he thought he saw a glimpse of the Andrea he once knew, the woman he had loved and married. He sighed, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.“Thank you, Andrea. That means a lot,” he said softly. “I think it’s best for all of us if we move forward.”Andrea nodded, a small, almost sad smile on her lips. “Yeah, I think so too. And I want you to know that I genuinely wish you and Marga the best.”Evan nodded, feeling a sense of closure. But unbeknownst to him, Andrea had other plans. She needed a way to get Evan back, to remind him of what they once had. The conversation had gone as she hoped, but it was just the beginning.Later that evening, Andrea sent Evan a text: "Can we meet at the bar tonight? I really need someone to talk to. It’s about Leo."Evan hesitated. He had plans with Marga, but the tone of Andrea’s message seemed urgent. He showed the message to Marga."She sa
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 87: Freedom
Andrea arrived at the mansion, her mind spinning from the events of the previous night. She had set out with a clear objective: to ruin Marga and Evan's relationship and win Evan back, driven by the promise of money and her father's manipulative influence. But as the night unfolded, she found herself grappling with unexpected emotions, feelings for Evan that she thought were long buried.She entered the grand foyer, the opulence of the mansion doing little to ease her turmoil. The house was quiet, a stark contrast to the storm raging in her mind. She needed time to think, to understand what had happened, and to prepare for the inevitable confrontation with Mr. Sanchez.Upstairs, Mr. Sanchez was waiting impatiently. He paced his study, his thoughts focused on the plan he had orchestrated. The stakes were high, and he couldn't afford any slip-ups.Hearing Andrea's footsteps, he called out, "Andrea, come in here."Andrea entered the study, her expression a mix of determination and confus
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 88: Leo's betrayal
Andrea wiped away a tear. "I don't know. I thought I did, but now... everything is so complicated."Ellen squeezed her hand. "Then take some time to figure it out. Don't rush into anything. And remember, you don't have to do this alone. I'm here for you."Andrea felt a surge of gratitude. "Thank you, Ellen. I needed to hear that."The next morning, Andrea arrived at the company feeling a mix of emotions. The thought of seeing Evan again after their encounter the previous night filled her with both hope and anxiety. She replayed the moments in her mind, wondering if he felt the same way, if he was thinking about her as much as she was thinking about him.As she walked into the office building, her heart pounded. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. She hoped that what happened between them might have made Evan reconsider his feelings. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for them.But as she approached Evan's office, she stopped dead in her tracks. Through the slightly

"You think you can just leave?" he roared. "If you walk out that door, I'll cut off your parents. They won't have anything. They'll be out on the streets!"Andrea froze, her hand on the doorknob. She turned slowly to face him, her heart pounding in her chest. "You wouldn't."Leo's face twisted into a sneer. "Try me. I'm the one providing for them. Without me, they have nothing. And don't you dare complain about me cheating. You're always too busy with work to have time for me. What did you expect?"Andrea felt tears of frustration and anger welling up. "You bastard," she whispered. "How could you use my parents against me?"Leo took a step closer, his voice low and menacing. "You think you can control everything, Andrea? You're nothing without me. You need me, just like your parents need me."Andrea's mind raced. She couldn't let him win, but she couldn't abandon her parents either. She needed a plan, but right now, her primary objective was to get out of this room and away from Leo.
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 90: Get Evan back!
Andrea felt a surge of anger. "My parents raised me to be strong, to stand up for myself. They would never want me to stay in a situation like this."Leo slammed his glass down on the table, the sound echoing through the room. "You ungrateful bitch! You think you can just leave me? You'll come crawling back. You can't survive without me."Andrea stood up, her resolve unshaken. "Watch me."With that, she turned and walked out of the kitchen, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to take control of her life. She would find a way to protect her parents and build a future on her own terms.---The next morning, Andrea woke up early, determined to take the first steps toward her new life.

Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 91: Urgent Call
The following day, Andrea decided to take Ellen’s advice to heart. She spent the morning reflecting on her situation, contemplating what she truly wanted. She realized that she needed to reclaim her sense of self and make decisions based on her own desires, not just the pressures placed upon her.At work, she focused on the presentation with Evan, determined to excel in her professional life even if her personal life was in turmoil. They continued to work closely, their interactions professional but tinged with an unspoken tension. Andrea couldn’t help but feel a pang of longing whenever she saw Evan, but she reminded herself of the bigger picture.As the week progressed, Andrea found herself in a constant state of inner conflict.

Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 92: Evan's help
"He was attacked by a group of men," her mother explained, her voice cracking. "They came looking for him because of his debts. We don’t know the full extent of his injuries yet, but it doesn’t sound good."Andrea felt a wave of panic wash over her. "I’m coming to the hospital right now."When Andrea arrived at the hospital, she was met with a whirlwind of activity. The emergency room was bustling with doctors and nurses, and the atmosphere was tense. She rushed to the reception desk, her heart pounding."I’m here to see Mr. Sanchez," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I’m his daughter."The receptionist looked up, her expression sympathetic. "I’ll need you to wait here for a moment. I’ll let the doctor know you’re here."Andrea nodded, her mind racing with worry. She sank into a nearby chair, trying to calm her racing heart.

Chapter 180: The End
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

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
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.

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
