Coleman Black cleared his throat. “It’s actually not that expensive, Little Miss Lesley. It’s simply a bit over $230,000.”Laura gasped at the price stated as ‘not that expensive’. Truly, the elite-tier citizens were on another level of existence. Their understanding of expensive and cheap was not something those in the middle or lower class could dare compare with.“Um, wow!” Xavier chuckled earnestly as he found himself struggling to look away from the dazzling cufflinks. “Jonathan, you are one lucky man to have that. More so, to have it delivered by the president?! That’s just….” He couldn’t find the words he needed to finish expressing his thoughts.The three members of the O’Brien family couldn’t help but think of the one person who was responsible for this unbelievable scenario playing out right in their eyes. They stared at Miles to find him sitting with the calmest demeanor, spotting a warm smile that would make anyone see him as the most peaceful man in the world. They really

Everyone immediately noticed the change in Coleman’s demeanor when he asked Laura that question. The air was silent but filled with awkwardness, and Laura felt the burn of it as she was left stunned by that question.“Um… I’m Laura O’Brien, the lady of this house.” She spoke with a tone that conveyed she was a bit embarrassed. Her reaction was caused by the humiliation she felt just now. Coleman had spoken to her dismissively as if reprimanding her for speaking. “You’re in my house.” Her voice went stiffer than she intended. This was truly an embarrassing situation for her.“Oh, I totally forgot.” Coleman’s gaze shifted around the house with little interest and a trace of disdain seeping out from his gaze before he returned his focus to Miles.Lesley was struggling to hold in her laughter at this point, and her father was glaring at her, silently telling her not to dare laugh, while he was also struggling to keep his smile at bay.Miles looked at the beautiful necklace. “Lila would lo

The O’Brien family didn’t know what came over them when they agreed to move their meeting to Miles’s home. It was specifically Xavier who agreed on behalf of his family, and his wife and son couldn’t say otherwise. Well, they could but they simply didn’t want to. After finding out how extraordinary Miles truly is, they want to see how his home is.When everyone got to Miles’s home, they were quite stunned to find out how ordinary and low-class his house was. To Coleman Black and Jeremiah Clover, who knew that Miles was the chairman and true owner of the Eckre Empire Headquarters, they couldn’t understand why Miles chose to live in such an ordinary apartment. Still, they couldn’t ignore that Miles had shown an insane level of intelligence through the short time they had known him. Plus l, his achievements were too incredible to look down on. Thus, the two jewelry tycoons concluded that Miles must have had a very unique reason for living here.The members of the O’Brien family, on the o

“Both of them.” Miles didn’t hesitate to give his answer before moving back to the important topic. “Have you noticed that every single one of these visitors in my living room right now are all high-class merchants of Dominion City?” He smiled wider as he saw the shock grow on his father-in-law’s face. It was clear that Jonathan had never thought about that until Miles mentioned it. “Now that they know that the import channels to regional raw materials along the borders of Dominion City and the private import channels, which are far richer than the former, are both in my possession, they know that it is now possible for them to negotiate some individual deal with me. This was never the case when the Import channels were in the possession of Caleb Autumn as that man was bound by his position to the city as the Jewelry industry leader.”Jonathan took in a deep breath as he slowly wrapped his head around everything Miles had just explained to him. “I see. So what are you going to do abou
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 198: CONFRONTATIONS AND REVELATIONS
As Caleb Autumn stepped into the room, the other jewelry merchants turned their attention to him, their faces lighting up with forced smiles."Mr. Autumn," a merchant named Harold greeted, bowing slightly. "What an honor to see you here.""Indeed, it is," Caleb replied, his smile not reaching his eyes. "The pleasure is mine, Harold."Another merchant, Marjorie, stepped forward, her voice sugar-coated with flattery. "Caleb, you grace us with your presence. We were just admiring your latest collection at the exhibition."Caleb's eyes flicked to her, a hint of amusement in his gaze. "Ah, yes. The collection. I do hope it met your high standards, Marjorie.""It was exquisite," she assured him, her cheeks coloring slightly.As the merchants continued to exchange pleasantries, Caleb's sharp eyes scanned their faces, noting the underlying tension in their expressions. He could see through their facade, recognizing their betrayal.“Mr. Autumn, if I may, we were just about to discuss the futur
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 199: HIDDEN TRUTHS AND VEILED THREATS
Caleb took a deep breath. "First, we establish a consortium, with representatives from the Blaine family, the Autumn family, and the Dominion City Council. This consortium will oversee the management and distribution of the import channels, ensuring that all parties benefit."The room buzzed with murmurs. This was an unexpected move, but it showed Caleb’s willingness to cooperate and maintain control.Miles smiled and without answering turned to the merchants. "You will have the opportunity to bid for access through the consortium. This ensures transparency and fairness."Caleb frowned and Nigel could not help but chuckle at Miles's speech. He knew deep down Miles just squashed any hope for them to get an exclusive right to the channel. And yet he plans to hear them out. Nigel could not help but be impressed by the young man's charisma.Miles turned to the gentleman. "Agreed. Now, let's work out the details."As the discussions began in earnest, Jonathan watched with a sense of awe. M
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 200: UNWELCOME TRUTHS AND HIDDEN AGENDAS
The O'Brien family stood at the threshold of the grand hall, their faces a mix of frustration and resignation. Conan O'Brien, his jaw set in defiance, glared at his father, Xavier."Conan, it's over," Xavier said, his voice low and firm. "The Blaine family is out of reach. Any plans of marriage now would be a lie. Let it go home.""I won't," Conan snapped. "I so close, Father. I won't just give up.""Damn it, Conan?" Xavier's eyes flashed with anger. "Your plan won't change the fact that the Blaines see us as beneath them. You have to be realistic."Conan clenched his fists, his eyes burning with determination. "Realistic? Or just cowardly?""Watch your tone," Xavier warned. "This isn't about cowardice. It's about knowing our place. The Blaines have made their choice."Conan's face twisted with bitterness. "So, what? I just walk away? Pretend like the money doesn't matter?""Yes," Xavier said, his voice softening slightly. "For your own good, son. Sometimes, we have to accept our limi

"Because, Miles," Nigel said, his voice dropping to a near whisper, "together, we can achieve far more than we ever could alone. You have the vision, the drive, and the position. I have the connections, the influence, and the resources. It's a perfect synergy."Miles considered Nigel's words carefully. The offer was tempting, but he knew better than to trust blindly. "And what do you get out of this?""A stronger Dominion City, one where our influence is unchallenged," Nigel replied. "And, of course, a partnership with one of the most promising leaders this city has seen in years."Miles sat back, weighing his options. "Alright, Nigel. Let's say I agree to this partnership. What are the terms?"Nigel's smile returned, warmer this time. "We work together to consolidate power within the consortium. We ensure that our interests are aligned and that we support each other in our endeavors. In return, we share the spoils of our success.""And if I refuse?" Miles asked, his tone challenging.
