“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

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

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

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
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 112: JACOBS’ LOSS.
Jacobs couldn’t believe how audacious this man was. With this level of confidence Miles was showing, Jacobs was quite intrigued, wondering what made him not show any fear.Miles picked up on the thoughts reflected in Jacobs’ eyes. “You should know that I have your club surrounded by my men.”Jacobs shook slightly when he heard this but he suddenly burst into laughter. “What the heck are you on about?! You came in with one man, and now you suddenly claim that you have men surrounding my club. Are you fucking serious?!” There was a look of mockery on his face as he glared at Miles. He even pushed his gun on Miles’s head further. “Listen! You seem like a pretty good comedian, I’ll give you that. Tell you what? I’ll let you walk away with one of your legs still working if you go down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness. You must grovel beneath my feet, proving the peasant worthy of the scum title that you are.”Miles remained calm as he looked up at Jacobs’ fierce demeanor. Meanwhile
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 113: BACK IN ACTION.
As soon as Alan’s subordinate found the room where Bruce was chained up, this man took down those watching over the captive. It took him fifteen minutes to do this, and by then he was quite weak. Once Bruce was freed, he began looking around.“My wife…. Where’s m wide? She’s also held in captivity. I could hear her voice. I…. I think she was also being tortured.” Bruce said this last part hoping that this would be the reality, that his wife wasn’t actually subjected to the horrors he went through.Bruce is a very impressive man. Even though he was very weak, he could recall the direction he heard his wife’s screams. This was one of the sharpened skills that made him one of the best help Miles ever had.Bruce utilized the help of his savior to move around the cells until he reached the position that he felt was where he was hearing the screams from. He found that it was also a cell and he slowly got in to find a body lying in the middle of the room. Bruce’s body began trembling and a s
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 114: ACQUIRED PROPERTY.

Meanwhile, a piece of news had begun circulating through the city, shocking everyone who understood the implication.“My goodness! Did you hear about the recent city hall auction? It was for a worthy piece of land!”“Yeah! I heard about it as well. The four prominent families ended up showing interest in buying this land! What really shocked me is that none of them ended up getting

Once Lola saw the woman in a pretty dress coming towards her, she sighed internally and gave a fake smile. “Abigail Brooke is that you?!”Abigail also seemed to be extending a fake smile to Lola. “Yay! It’s really is you, Lola!” She screamed as she ran forward and barely gave the woman a proper hug. “Oh my goodness, how have you been? It’s been such a long time since I last saw you.”“Me too!” Lola smiled with a fake laugh. “I’ve been doing pretty well. How about you?”“Oh, just so-so.” She waved her hand dismissively, but the finger she was waving had a beautiful wristwatch on her wrist. She was definitely showing off.“Oh well, that’s good.” Lola was internally cringing, cursing whatever fate had pulled her string of destiny and Abigail’s string of destiny to cross today. It was quite safe to say that Lola didn’t like Abigail Brooke that much.Abigail Brooke was a popular girl back in college, and so was Lola. The two were part of a sorority and were quite elevated with their looks.

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

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?"

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

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

"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.

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
