Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 150: ANTIQUE HUNTING WITH JONATHAN.
The day of the antique event was finally here. Miles saw his wife off to her busy work at the company and his daughter off to her school for the day before he left the house as well. Miles was currently driving towards the destination when he got a call from his father-in-law. “Mr. Blaine, I was just about to call you. I’m currently on my way to the event.”“Good, I was starting to get worried that you wouldn’t show up.” Jonathan’s calm voice came through the call. “Once you get here, just give me a call.”“Will do,” Miles replied and the call came to an end.By the time Miles got there, he found the event venue was filled with a decent amount of people around the place. He got out of the car and made the call to his father-in-law. When Jonathan came out of the event hall to greet Miles, the heir to the Creek family did not expect to see Lesley here at all. His sister-in-law smiled a bit awkwardly at him but she didn’t really disrespect him, which was quite weird to Miles. After all,

Miles was being showered with compliments from Frederick, much to Jonathan’s satisfaction and Lesley’s astonishment. She still had trouble digesting what had just happened.At that moment, Miles caught sight of two men in suits walking into the venue, not too far away from him and his group. He soon recognizes these two men as his former classmates back in college. One was August Leonard, the man he had health with about a week ago during their class reunion. As for the other one, he recalled that his name was Joseph Rutherford. He didn’t have much relationship with this guy either. In Joseph’s hand, he found a sizeable but flat object wrapped in Brown paper. Miles could immediately tell that this item was a picture of some sort.Miles watched both Joseph Rutherford and August Leonard walk towards a man with a poised demeanor and a lean build. They shook hands with him before Joseph brought the flat object in his hand forward. All three men conversed with one another, and it was at th

“I’m afraid you guys understand my intention.” Miles remained unshaded before the mockery and passive insults directed at him. “I have the intention of buying this painting from you, but I would have to appraise it myself before that.” He smirked ominously at Joseph. “Is that okay with you?”Just like this, the mocking chuckles directed at Miles dissipated. The way he had just handled this situation with calmness made the onlookers doubt their earlier perspective about Miles. It turned out that he was genuinely interested in buying the painting and wasn’t trying to humiliate anyone. Joseph saw where the situation was headed and he reluctantly handed the painting to Miles. “Fine, go crazy with it.” He knew that he had to do this, or else, it would make him look like the unreasonable one instead.Miles began to look over the painting with a sudden seriousness in his expression. After a while, he suddenly brought the painting to his ear and he tapped on it lightly, over and over again.

Once August saw this he sneered. Due to his past few encounters with Miles, at the restaurant, and also at the class reunion, he was quite convinced that Miles was a hidden Tigger pretending to be a weak sheep the whole time. Now though, he felt like his earlier perspective of Mikes, as a lowlife scum who didn’t deserve Lola as a wife, is the reality.“What the hell is your problem, Miles?! You still want my father to pay for you?” Lesley couldn’t hold in her resentment towards her brother-in-law any more. “Look, just because you can shamelessly poach on my sister’s money doesn’t mean that….”“Enough, Lesley!” Jonathan suddenly stopped his daughter from uttering another word of insult at Miles. He then grabbed Miles away from the crowd to talk to him privately. “Look, I hope you’re aware that I trust your capabilities. You’ve done nothing but show me that you’re a survivor despite the heavy challenges you’ve been dealing with. But I don’t understand why you want to buy that painting s

The crowd couldn’t believe it at all as they heard the sound of paper being ripped apart. The shock intensified when it became clear to all of them that Miles had suddenly started tearing apart the painting he bought for $215,000 not even five minutes after he bought it.“Have you lost your goddamn minds, Miles?!” Joseph was horrified at the scene.“He must have lost it,” August whispered to his friend while his eyes remained on Miles who kept tearing at the painting.“What is he doing?!” Frederick Lore placed his hand on Jonathan’s arm as he kept a very worried gaze on Miles. “That painting has now lost all worth! This is a unique antique, and now, it’s been reduced to trash!”“I…um.” Jonathan was struggling to come up with a good explanation for his son-in-law. He was still discussing the possibility of a stable job for Miles within Frederick’s establishment. Initially, Miles had made a huge impression on the antique appraiser Big-Shot, but with this sudden destruction of an item, J

Miles smiled ominously as he handed the painting over to Caleb. “Sure thing, Mr. Autumn.”Caleb frowned slightly before gathering himself. He had expected some snarky words from Miles, but he was thrown off by the man’s tactical obedience. Miles, on the other hand, didn’t feel any animosity from Caleb right now, and thus, he simply didn’t feel the need to make a snarky remark against the man. Plus, Caleb was one of the organizers, and Miles was more concerned with getting to the bottom of this painting revelation rather than getting in trouble with a major member of the organizing committee, which may then ruin his plan.Once the painting was in Caleb’s hands, he began inspecting this antique item along with the other organizers. They could only later confirm that this painting was indeed much more authentic and older in comparison to the painting that Miles had ripped away. The organizers had to call in the appraisal experts as well, including Frederick and Alexander, to inspect and

Miles didn’t dare show it but his heart surged with immediate warmth. Ever since he became the son-in-law of the Blaine family, the only compliments he had gotten through those years were ridicule and humiliating words from Fiona and Lesley. As for Jonathan, he had always been in a neutral line with Miles. He wasn’t round of Miles’s lack of money and status, but he definitely held no bitterness or hatred towards the hardworking man just because of it. In fact, he could tell that Miles was a fierce warrior with a loving and loyal heart, so he would always treat My Les with kindness and acknowledgment. Yet, this was the first time he would get such a pleasant compliment from his in-laws, and he was really glad that it came from the mouth of none other than Jonathan Blaine.“I think Mom and I were really misguided in our perception of this man,” Lesley murmured to himself while staring at Miles with astonishment on her face.Miles was able to work out his appreciation for the man when Jo
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 157: SEEKING THE GENIUS APPRAISER.
After the professional intervention by the organizers of the event, Joseph really had no other choice than to give up on trying to get back the painting he had sadly lost to Miles’s trickery. Worse, by the time he gave up, he found that the most notable member of the organizers had actually bought the painting from Miles’s father-in-law without wasting time at all. At this point, he was certain that there was no hope of him getting that antique painting back.Meanwhile, Jonathan kept staring at his phone in a daze, particularly at the bank credit alert displayed on his screen. He still couldn’t believe that an antique had actually brought him tens of millions of dollars, and it was all possible because of the hidden genius who he was more than lucky enough to have as a son-in-law. He wished Lola had also been here to witness what an amazing man she was married to. It didn’t matter though; he would be more than happy to tell her later. Hopefully, she would no longer listen to her mothe
