Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 115: SET UP FOR DINNER (1).
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.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 116: SET UP FOR DINNER (2).
Abigail Brooke definitely had a bad intention when she invited Lola to this dinner. It turns out that August Leonard was actually someone who used to have a huge crush on Lola back in college.Back at home, Miles decided to have a conversation with his wife about this dinner.“My love, are you sure this is a good idea?” Miles looked at his wife with concern reflected in his eyes.Lola rubbed a soothing hand down her husband’s chiseled body before giving the man a lengthy kiss. “I don’t see anything wrong with catching up with old friends. I really think it might end up being quite fun. Plus, you and Abigail finally get to clear up any misunderstandings in the past. Look, the more I talk about this, the more I am positively convinced that this is going to go well.”Miles looked at his gorgeous wife for a while before giving in once again with a weak smile. “Alright, let’s do it your way.” He had been persuaded after seeing that Lola was actually thinking about him as well, and he loved
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 117: TWO COUPLES DINNER.
“Guys, I would love to introduce Mark Denim. He’s my boyfriend, the one who I told you about yesterday, Lola.” Abigail began to fawn over this man.Lola glanced at her husband before walking forward to shake hands with Mark. “Hello, Mark, I’m Lola Blaine, and this is my husband, Miles Creek. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”“Oh!” Mark was stunned when he saw Lola. He couldn’t believe such a young woman with such a sexy figure was actually married. “Miss Lola, you are truly as beautiful as my girlfriend mentioned.” He was quite unashamed as his eyes traveled from Lola’s face down to her body.The smile on Abigail Brooke’s face wavered slightly. “Alright, baby. Let’s all have our seats.”Lola noticed what had just happened. Mark Denim had blatantly disregarded Miles’s existence. She couldn’t understand why he did this though. Luckily, Miles had not initiated a handshake as she suspected that Mark would have ignored it, making her husband lose face.Meanwhile, the four settled down an

Mark Denim smiled flirtatiously at Miles. “Actually, there are so many other things about me that I think you’ll find quite impressive.”It was here that Lola picked up on Mark’s flirty tone. This man was actually trying to flirt with her despite the fact that not only was he aware that she was married, but her husband was also seated right at this table. Plus, Mark’s girlfriend was also right beside him.Mark didn’t take offense to Lola’s sudden silence. “Usually, I don’t really like to brag to people about me on a first meeting or a romantic date.” He looked directly at Lola when he said the words ‘romantic date’, hinting that he was considering that he and Lola were currently on a romantic date. He had absolutely ignored the fact that her spouse and his significant other were also at this same table. “But seeing how extremely gorgeous you are, I’ll let you in on something. I’m actually applying to Jettex Industrial Limited and I’ve been informed that there’s a high chance of me bei
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 119: ANOTHER RIVAL ARRIVAL.
While Abigail and Mark were kissing, they were both secretly staring at Lola for different reasons. Mark was flirting with Lola, letting her know that he wished she was the one he was kissing. As for Abigail, she was silently claiming that Mark was hers no matter how much he was flirting with Lola.Lola, on the other hand, was getting quite uncomfortable with what she was witnessing. She couldn’t bear it anymore and had to avert her gaze. She turned to Miles silently asking for help but Miles simply smiled at her, silently telling her to pull through the end of this awful and awkward dinner.Lola was grateful that her husband was here with her. It was then that she felt a surge of anger as she recalled what Abigail and Mark had said about Miles. She had been so excited when Abigail had offered to help her husband secure a job, and yet, she would have never thought that they only had the intention of securing a janitorial position for Miles. If it had been a year ago, Lola might have n
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 120: AUGUST LEONARD.
“I see the party has started way before me!”All four adults at the table turned their heads to find a man in formal wear walking towards them.Mark immediately perked up. “Mr. Leonard, you’re finally here.” He looked cheerful, not showing any signs that he had just been roasted. He shook hands with the man before guiding him to sit at the last vacant chair at this table. “You’re welcome, Mr. Leonard.” He suddenly thought of a way to get back at Miles for the insult. “Actually, I was just asking Mr. Miles here if he was really sure that he would pay for our meals. I’ve been trying to convince him that he shouldn’t pay for anything considering he’s a stay-at-home dad with no income whatsoever.” He smiled daringly at Miles.Lola was shocked when she heard this lie. She was about to come after Mark for this but Miles slowly and gently caressed her hands underneath the table while keeping a calm stare on Mark.“Oh really?!” August stared at Miles with disdain before scoffing and shifting
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 121: IGNORING MILES.
Mark whispered to his girlfriend. “Mr. Leonard pooped himself in his mid-twenties?”Abigail was starting to laugh as she couldn’t hold it in. She did, however, shut her mouth as soon as she found August glaring at her. Mark Denim saw this as well and immediately calmed himself down.August folded his hands into a fist as he turned to Lola. “Miss Lola, just because you and I have a history back in college doesn’t mean I’ll sit here and let you insult me. That story you just told was an absolute lie at a horrible attempt to humiliate me or just a testament to your distorted reality.”“Distorted reality?!” Lola felt offended by this. “Mr. August Leonard, you’re practically calling me insane.”August chuckled darkly. “Those are your words, not mine.” He looked unbothered. “Besides, if your perception of reality wasn’t so warped, why on earth would you choose to be with a man like Miles? I mean it is no offense to your husband’s hustle life, but we’re has that gotten you. That man you foun
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 122: DEVIOUS INVITATION.
August came up with a plan. “By the way, have I told you guys that I’m hosting a class reunion party for our college friends? Lola, I am extending a special honors invitation to you. As my past crush who I still think of very dearly, I would like for you to show up as one of my VIP guests.” He had said those unnecessary descriptive words about what Lola meant to him to make Miles jealous, and yet, he still got no evident reaction of jealousy from his target. “Of course, you can bring your husband as your plus one.”This was another clear insult to Miles. Usually, the plus-one spots are reserved for outsiders who show up as an honorary guest of the VIP guest. He openly denies Miles an invitation to the class reunion he was a part of, only allowing him to come as baggage, which August finds reflective of what Miles is to Lola. After all, the man still assumed that Miles was a stay-at-home dad with no single penny to his name. Funny enough, Mark got invited even though he wasn’t part of

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

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. 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
