Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 104: MEETING CALEB AUTUMN.
The next day, Miles met up with Janet Bean, who turned out to be a very beautiful woman. They had a chat over breakfast at a café, and Miles was quite pleased with her intellect.They then headed to the location where they had the intention of building the huge park for the city. “I have to admit that this land isn’t bad at all.” Miles nodded his head with approval. He and Janet had spent a bit over an hour scouting through any problems this land might have, not just physically but also on an economic scale. It’s the reason Janet was made out to be the best candidate for this inspection. “I also agree that this land is perfect. Plus, once the project is completed and its indeed function in the city commends, it will do well to cover up for the absence of Eckre Empire Headquarters.”At this moment, Miles could see the sadness on the woman’s face. He could definitely understand her. She, along with many other employees, will definitely miss Eckre Empire Headquarters. Still, life waits
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 105: DISMISSING THE NEW PROJECT.
Caleb Autumn was getting pissed off by Miles’s words, but he decided to act his class. “Lemme guess, your company is fairly new and you’re just about to start its construction, right?” “Yes, actually. The project I’ll be using this land for is fairly new. Do you have a problem with that?” Miles sneered at the pompous man in front of him.The man raised in a mocking show of surrender. “Oh, definitely not! Having a problem with someone like you would mean I’m stooping low to your level.” The man chuckled with an air of arrogance. “I definitely won’t do that, seeing as you’re far beneath me.”Janet Bean was a bit moody about Caleb Autumn’s words against Miles. Even though she didn’t know Miles’s background, she was instructed to provide her best aid to Miles by the CEO of Eckre Empire Headquarters. That means that Miles was no small fish by any means.Miles remained intrigued as he watched Caleb Autumn swaggering off with the woman in glasses. “That was an interesting encounter, wasn’t
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 106: BRUCE DANIELS IN TROUBLE.
Miles smiled at this. This was the reason that he gave the position to Eden Raven. No one had skin as tough as that guy. He knew that, unlike the former head of security guards, Eden wouldn’t stoop low to being controlled by someone else to do terrible things to other workers.Eden sighed. “William, I actually called to talk to you about Bruce. I think the guy might be in great danger.”Miles frowned when he heard this. “Wait, what do you, men? Did you see something?”“Yeah, I did,” Eden spoke with a calm voice. “Miles, I saw him going into a club with Jacobs Briggs.”Miles’s eyes widened. “Jacobs Briggs?! Wait, isn’t the former vice of Daniels back when he was still working for me?”Eden sighed. “I wouldn’t know. Don’t forget that I had no idea you and Bruce were leading a double life back then. It was just recently that I found out that he used to be your subordinate in this city, handling underground work for you.”Miles looked around the house. He was currently in the living room.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 107: GAME OF DICE.
Miles ended the hug with Eden and they nodded at each other before walking to the club's main entrance. There they found six bouncers standing guard.One of the bouncers put his hand forward, stopping the two from entering. “The club is off to all low-tier customers. It doesn’t matter if you’re regular either. The club is still close off to you.”Miles stared up at the bouncers, seeing an air of arrogance and violence on his face. He then glanced at the other bouncers as well and saw that they all had the same temperament. At this point, Miles could tell that these men were definitely not ordinary bouncers. Miles turned to Eden, giving him a signal to have a private chat.Eden saw this secret message and he almost broke into a warm smile. These secret gestures were something they created when they were friends those years ago. He was pleasantly surprised that Miles still remembered it.The two turned around and went a few distance before they stopped.Eden grinned at his best friend.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 108: STACKING THE WINS.
“Got it.” Eden felt far more comfortable doing that. He was more of a muscle guy than a brain guy.The two approached the table and Miles arrogantly took a seat, fitting right in with the other occupants who also had expressions of arrogance on their faces.Miles glanced around the table and pointed at the man seated opposite him. “I’d like to challenge you. You have a million dollars in chips. I have a feeling that playing with you will be fun.”The man laughed. “Game on then.” The man was about to start when he noticed that Miles’s table was empty of any dice. “What the fuck are you on about? There’s no chip on your table? You wish to play with me because you think I’m a worthy opponent, but have you thought to ask yourself if you’re worthy to be my opponent?”Miles raised his hands with a smile. “Relax; I just haven’t purchased my chips yet.” Eden understood what he was supposed to do, so he summoned a male waiter and instructed him to bring chips.The waiter smiled at both Eden a
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 109: EDEN’S PROWESS.
The man decided to turn the tables. “You! You must have cheated! Cheater!! I’m not going to pay you a dime!”Miles’s face became cold. Sister, what did you just say?!” He couldn’t believe that this older man was going to pull such a cheap trick to get out of paying that one billion dollars.Eden’s body tensed as he became pissed as well. Just like Miles, he could tell that this man was shamelessly blaming Miles so he wouldn’t have to pay the one billion dollars he owed his best friend. His fist tightened as he could tell that a fight was coming. If there was one thing he knew, it was that Miles hated being cheated on, especially when the reason is a bile and wicked one. This man had accepted Miles's challenge and even won more than $100 million from him. If the game had ended there, this man would have definitely collected his money from Miles, even if he had to beat it out of Miles. Yet, Miles had won instead and this disgraceful mistake for a human being had suddenly created an accu
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 110: REVENGE & COWARDICE.
In this special room, Bruce Daniels was Heidi up by iron chains while he was shirtless. His body was riddled with whip marks. These marks were quite brutal, and the exhausted state that Bruce was in was proof of how much torture he had been enduring for Lord knows how long.A man in a fitting two-piece suit approached Bruce and began punching him. Bruce’s swollen eyes shot open and he screamed out in sheer pain. It seemed that every single part of his body was currently hurting at the slightest touch. He couldn’t help but let out agony as Jacobs Briggs wouldn’t stop punching him.This torture went on for five minutes. By then, Jacobs Briggs was out of breath and he had to stop, or at least take a break.“Please, Jacobs, stop this. You can’t keep holding on to the past.” Bruce could only speak so weakly.“You want me to let go of the past?” Jacobs sneered as he wiped away the sweat that he was now soaked in. “You mean the same past where I have lost my brother because of you and your c
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 111: JACOBS & MILES.
The casino had turned into a wide ring of chaos at this point. Eden was solely wiping the floor with the men from The Unforgiven Knife Gang. There were unfortunate men being flung around the space, groaning in pain while some had simply passed out. Eden Raven, who appeared to be a gentleman, had turned out to be far more beastly than beastly than a wild animal.“What is this guy fucking made of?! Is he even a human being?!”The other customers couldn’t believe their eyes, witnessing as one man was evidently so physically powerful.Meanwhile, Miles remained in his seat the whole time. Despite that his surrounding was an actual mess, he had a weirdly come demeanor. It was like he was in a special bubble where nothing negative in the world could touch him. At this moment, Miles was actually smiling at the man seated opposite him. This was the same man who had tried to frame him for cheating when he was supposed to pay the one billion dollars he owed Miles. Now, the same man was shaking

Chapter 270: The Sweetheart Story
Miles knelt down to her level, smiling softly. "We did, sweetheart. But winning was just the first step. Now we have to make sure it stays won."Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"Miles quickly looked at his family, then shifted his focus back to Sarah. "We still have a large amount of work in front of us." Nevertheless, I think we are prepared for the challenge. Do you want to assist us in improving the city? Sarah nodded with great enthusiasm. "May I work as your aide?" The room was filled with laughter, relieving the tension that was growing. Miles stood and playfully tousled Sarah's hair. "You have the ability to become anything you desire, young one. "That is the main objective." Maxwell cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Miles, there's something else we need to discuss. About your role in the family."Miles tensed, memories of their past conflicts flooding back. "Dad, I-"Maxwell held up a hand. "Let me finish. I was wrong, son. I tried t

Chapter 269: Aftermath
Miles paused at the door, turning back to face his defeated enemy. "You're right about one thing, Ethan. It's not over. It's just beginning. But this time, we're building something better. Something just."With that, they left, racing towards the Lyon compound. While driving through the city streets, they observed evidence of the night's happenings all around - police barriers, lights flashing, and groups of spectators. "What do you think Joseph Lyon has?" Lola asked, her brow furrowed with concern.Miles shook his head. "I don't know, but we can't let him walk. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."They arrived at the Lyon compound to find it in chaos. Creek family members and newly arrived police officers were everywhere, securing the premises and rounding up Lyon family members and associates.Elena met them at the entrance, her face grim. "Joseph's in the basement. He's threatening to upload some kind of dossier to the internet if we don't let him go.""What's in the dossier?"

Chapter 268: The Tone Deaf Declaration
Elena's voice came through, tense but steady. "She's inside. Ethan took the bait. He's got her in his office."Miles tightened his fists, suppressing the anxiety eating away at his stomach. "Okay then. I am entering. Always remain committed to the plan, regardless of any obstacles that may arise. With that, he walked confidently towards the front door, feeling his heart racing but remaining determined. The guards by the entrance became tense when he neared. Miles declared that he is here to visit Ethan with a commanding tone that left no room for disagreement. The guards nervously looked at each other before one of them communicated on his radio. After a brief pause, they moved out of the way, letting Miles go through. While strolling through the grand corridors, Miles couldn't shake the thought of the countless lives ruined to uphold this image of authority and extravagance. He prepared himself, aware that tonight marked the end of everything. He reached Ethan's office door, pau

Chapter 267: The Showdown
Miles took a deep breath, his mind racing with possibilities. "We need to create a distraction. Something big enough to draw Ethan's attention away from his office."Lola stepped forward, her face set with determination. "I have an idea. But you're not going to like it."Miles turned to her, concern etched on his face. "Lola, what are you thinking?""Me," she said simply. "I'll turn myself in to Ethan. Tell him I'm abandoning you, that I want to make a deal.""Absolutely not," Miles said firmly. "It's too dangerous."Lola stood her ground. "It's the perfect distraction. Ethan won't be able to resist the opportunity to use me against you.""She's right," Rachel interjected. "Ethan's obsessed with destroying you, Miles. Having Lola in his grasp would be irresistible."Miles shook his head, his voice rising. "No, I won't risk you like that. There has to be another way.""There isn't," Lola insisted. "We're running out of time and options. This is our best shot."Maxwell placed a hand on

Chapter 266: Revelations and Regret
"Dad!" he called out. "This way!"In some way, amidst the chaos and lack of light, they succeeded in coming together again and leaving the cabin. In the woods, they ran without direction, with the sound of their pursuers not far behind. "There's a river approaching," Maxwell gasped while they ran. "If we manage to get across, we could risk losing them." They continued moving forward, with branches lashing their faces and the ground unpredictable beneath their feet. At last, the sound of water rushing reached their ears. "We arrived," Elena wheezed. But as they reached the riverbank, a shot rang out. Miles felt a searing pain in his arm and stumbled."Miles!" Lola cried out."I'm fine," he forced through clenched teeth. "We must continue to keep going forward." Stepping into the icy water, they could hear their pursuers approaching nearer. Miles glanced behind him and observed flashlights moving among the trees. With a sinking heart, he came to the realization that we will not be

Chapter 265: The Twisted Path
While driving in uncomfortable silence, the city lights disappeared in the distance. After what felt like an endless amount of time, Dorian veered onto a dirt path that twisted through thick forests. "He declared that we are nearly there." Out of nowhere, headlights were visible in the rearview mirror. Dorian muttered curses quietly. "They've found us."Miles twisted in his seat, his heart pounding. "How? We were so careful!""Questions later," Dorian growled, pressing down on the accelerator. "Hold on, everyone!"The vehicle surged ahead, jolting harshly over the bumpy road. Sarah began to weep, and Lola tried her hardest to console her while hanging on tightly. "That way!" Elena yelled while indicating the direction in front. A tiny cabin appeared, tucked in between the trees. Maxwell came to a halt in front of the cabin. "Everybody, leave!" "Hurry up!" They scrambled out of the car, Miles helping Lola with Sarah while Elena and Maxwell grabbed what few bags they had managed t

It's a gamble," she remarked, "but there's a chance it could succeed." Count me in. One after another, the rest of the Autumns concurred. When they joined hands to confirm their sudden collaboration, Miles felt a spark of hope for the first time in weeks. Miles did not realize that another person was secretly listening to their conversation. In a room on the upper floor, Maximilian Autumn, the eldest child of Nigel and heir of the Autumn family, was having a conversation on the telephone. "Did you get all that, Ethan?" Maximilian whispered.On the other end of the line, Ethan Chariot's voice crackled. "Every word. Good work, Maximilian. Your family's betrayal won't be forgotten when this is all over."Maximilian's grip tightened on the phone. "Just remember our deal. When the dust settles, I want control of both the Autumn and Chariot families."Ethan chuckled darkly. "Of course. As long as you hold up your end, you'll get everything we agreed upon. Now, let's discuss how we're goi

Chapter 263: Unexpected Allies
While embracing each other, both fully conscious of the peril nearby, a faint voice was heard from the staircase. "Mom?" Father? "What's happening?" Miles and Lola looked in the direction Sarah was standing, her worried expression evident on her small face. They shared a glance, aware that their future decisions would impact not only their destiny, but also that of their daughter and the whole city. Miles kneeled and extended his arms towards Sarah. "Sweetheart, please come over here." Mom and Dad have something significant they need to inform you about. While Sarah embraced them, Miles and Lola promised quietly to defend their family and seek retribution against anyone who posed a threat. The larger view was starting to become clear, bringing with it the understanding that their lives were about to change forever. The sudden ringing of the doorbell surprised Miles and Lola, interrupting their quiet chat. Miles cautiously approached the door, looking through the peephole. Surpris

Chapter 262: The Shocking Revelation
He was startled by the ringing of the doorbell. He opened the door and saw Rachael Autumn standing there, her face showing signs of worry. "Rachael? What are you doing here?" Miles asked, ushering her inside.Rachael wrung her hands nervously. "Miles, we need to talk. It's about your family... and mine."Miles' eyes narrowed. "You mean how your family has been lying to me all this time? Using me?"Rachael flinched. "It's not like that, Miles. We didn't have a choice.""There's always a choice, Rachael," Miles spat. "You could have told me the truth.""And you?" Rachael shot back. "You lied too. You said you were single, that you were just Miles Autumn. Was that all a ploy to get close to us, to get information?"Miles stepped back, stunned. "What? No, I... I never said I was single. I just... I didn't mention my family because I was trying to protect them."Rachael's eyes softened. "I believe you, Miles. But you have to understand, we're all caught up in something bigger than ourselv
