Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 184: FUTILE INVESTIGATION.
The Webber family’s primary source of income is the goods they import in and out of the city through the various forms of shipment. However, what this family doesn’t let people know is the fact that they deal in these shipments in the first place. This is because these shipments only transport goods by smuggling them in and out of Dominion City. The Webber family was not only filled with cruel people related to blood but it was also filled with criminals as well.This is their main source of wealth which they flaunt around the city oppressively while claiming their position as undisputedly second to the four prominent families in the city. Therefore, it is only natural that not many people outside of the family knew about these illegal shipments in and out of the city. Most of these goods would never be legally allowed by the city authorities. In fact, the country itself would punish whoever was caught dealing in these kinds of shipments. Yet, the Webber family had managed to keep it
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 185: OBTAINING THE BIO-TECH COMPANY (1).
Two days after Miles gave his instructions to Eden, news began to travel through the city of Dominion. People could stop themselves from talking about the Webber family.“Hey! Did you hear that intense misfortune has been falling on the Webber family for the past few days now?! It’s like all their luck has suddenly gone down the drain or something.”“Oh my goodness! I actually heard about this as well. Just less than a week ago, they had been thriving. Now, their name is currently all over the media, and none of it has been good so far. It’s quite jarring actually.”“To be honest though, I feel no remorse whatsoever for their immense loss within these few days. That family has always been nothing but trouble. They are infamous for bullying the weak as much as they want. They humiliate and step over the heads of those they feel have lesser power than them.”“Well, Karma truly is a bitch. It’s about time they got a taste of defeat. They’ve spent years flaunting their wealth and supremac

There was hesitation on the other end of the call before Dorian carefully answered. “Um, no, Young Master Miles. It has nothing to do with your father. I’m afraid I’m as in the unknown about the patriarch as you are. I’ve actually been trying to Garner any information, but I just keep hitting nothing but dead ends every time. I won’t give up though. I want you to please trust in me.”“I do,” Miles spoke with a reassuring tone in his voice. “If there is one thing about you, Butler Dorian, that I’ve never doubted, it’s your innate show of loyalty to father and to the Creek family.”“Thank you for saying that, Young Master Miles.” “Of course, it’s the truth after all.” Miles nodded as he was now gazing out the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass window behind him. “Now, I believe you have news for me.”Dorian’s voice immediately took on a professional tone, as they had to get back to business. “I wanted to let you know that the biotech company has fully been obtained and is now under you
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 187: MEETING FOR ROMANCE (1).
Miles made sure to listen to the complaints, concerns, and overall experience of these seven engineers who had been recruited by Dorian. He made sure to ask questions that better aid his understanding of where every one of them stands. After that, he began to logically give his inputBy the time the meeting was done, every single one of these engineers was left deeply impressed by Miles’s understanding of the business side of this, including how it specifically affects the work these people are doing. This ended up making them quite satisfied that Miles was the kind of person they would be working with.The engineers were left even more shocked when Miles promised that he would build them individual laboratories where they would have the freedom and resources to a breath length to work on their individual projects. This is a side from the fact that there will be a grand central laboratory for all seven unique engineers to work together in tandem. The seven engineers would practically

Jonathan watched as Miles exchanged words of pleasantries with the O’Brien family before continuing his words. “These two gentlemen are actually here to propose a romantic match between Conan and Lesley.”“Oh.” Miles nodded in understanding before turning to Lesley, seated on the other side of his father-in-law. “Lesley, I have to ask. Do you have any objection to this?”Lesley was surprised at this question at first, but then her expression softened into a smile. She nodded her head sharply, and she was deeply grateful that Miles, of all people, had bothered to give her the needed chance to voice her consent.At this moment, a gorgeously dressed woman walked into the private room gallantly. “Oh my goodness! Please, tell me I’m not late. You guys couldn’t have possibly started this romantic matchup already without my presence. I’m the son’s mother after all.”Miles was confused at first, but then he saw Conan acknowledging the woman as ‘Mom’ while Xavier greeted her with a sweet kiss
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 189: A BAG AND A RAZOR.
A couple of minutes later, Conan shared an ominous expression with his parents before he dipped his hand below the round table and retrieved a beautiful red bag.“Um, Lesley, this bag is for you. I hope you like it.” Conan handed the bag over to the young woman with a reserved smile.“Oh, um, thank you, Conan. I really didn’t expect this.” Lesley smiled at Conan, truly appreciating that he brought her a gift.Hearing this though, it inflated Conan’s ego, and he adjusted his leather jacket. “Oh, it’s nothing. The bag is just a little over $2,000. I figured that I had to give you the best to show my sincerity.”Lesley was not blind. She could definitely see the cockiness in Conan but eating its ugly head right now. She glanced at her father and Miles to find that they had also noticed the cockiness in Conan just now.“Wow, thank you.” At this point, Lesley was struggling to sound sincere, as she could tell that this was done to, once again, belittle Miles and make him feel inferior.Con

The three members of the O’Brien family stared at the phone screen like fishes struggling against dehydration. On the screen, they found three various colors of Hermes Kelly Rose Gold handbags.“Mom, what’s so special about those bags?” Conan whispered to his mother to see her reaction. Of course, he was also surprised when he initially took a look, but that was because the bag was visually stunning. It was clear to him and his father just from the physical appearance that this bag was quite unique.Laura glanced at her son before shifting her gaze to Lesley with incredulity. “Lesley, my dear. How much is each and every one of those bags?”Lesley tilted her head with a cute expression. “It’s a little over $2 million, but Miles found out that the designer was currently taking a limited number of custom-made requests for $5 million, and he decided to get three versions for me.”Laura couldn’t believe it. It all sounded way too absurd to her. Miles is a stay-at-home dad who can’t afford
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 191: LEAVING IN SHAME.
The razor was really $20,000. The O’Brien family was stunned at what they got. This inevitably led them to believe everything else, including those bags, each costing over $2 million each. They still couldn’t understand how a stay-at-home dad, who was expectedly munching off of his wife’s earnings.Xavier chuckled nervously as he stared at the slight cockiness seeping through the expressions of Jonathan and Lesley. As for Miles, his intentions were canceled behind his mask of calmness. “Mr. Blaine, I have to say that I’m a bit jealous of you right now. I heard of the $50 million that you won at the antique fair in the city. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was you. I even assumed that they were talking about a totally different man who just had the same name as you. Yet, it seems they were really talking about you. With that kind of money in your possession, it’s understandable how you’re able to casually purchase those bags for your daughter and still buy these insanely expensive razors

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?"

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

"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
Chapter 264: The Chase Intensifies
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
