Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 201: DINNER WITH A HIDDEN AGENDA
"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.

Miles swirled his wine glass thoughtfully, looking across the table at Nigel. "So, Nigel, I've been considering the structure of our partnership. What if the consortium became a subsidiary of Jettex Industrial Limited?"Nigel leaned back, his eyes narrowing slightly. "A subsidiary? That's a significant shift, Miles. What exactly are you proposing?"Miles smiled, setting his glass down. "Think about it. By making the consortium a subsidiary, we could streamline operations, ensure more efficient management, and consolidate our resources. It would give us a strategic advantage."Nigel tapped his fingers on the table, considering Miles' words. "You're suggesting that Jettex takes the lead, essentially absorbing the consortium under its umbrella. What's in it for you?"Miles spread his hands. "A stronger, more unified front. We both benefit from the stability and growth potential. Plus, with your leadership, the consortium could reach new heights."Nigel raised an eyebrow. "And how do you

Miles tiptoed inside the house, gently shutting the door. The wall clock indicated that it was far into the night. Quietly, he entered the kitchen and discovered his wife Lola standing by the counter, drinking a glass of water. "Miles whispered to Lola, hoping not to surprise her." Lola turned around, a tired smile lighting up her face. "Miles, you're finally home."Miles wrapped his arms around her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I missed you."She snuggled into his chest, sighing. "I missed you too. It's been a long day."Miles pulled back, concern etching his features. "Rough day at work?"Lola nodded, her eyes heavy with exhaustion. "You could say that. My boss was relentless, and the workload was insane. I don't even want to think about it."Miles pressed his lips to her temple. "Then don't think about it. How about I make us a nice dinner? You go relax in the living room."Lola chuckled softly. "You? Cooking? This I've got to see."Miles feigned a hurt expression. "H

The following week, as Miles prepared for the banquet, Lola watched him with a mixture of concern and pride."Are you sure about this, Miles?" she asked, her voice soft. "Attending the Autumn family's banquet is a big step."Miles adjusted his tie, meeting her gaze in the mirror. "I'm sure, Lola. This partnership with the Autumn could be the key to solidifying a good position in Dominion City. I need allies, and this is my chance."Lola nodded, her eyes filled with worry. "Just be careful. The Autumns are powerful, and their influence runs deep.""I know," Miles said, turning to face her. "But we have to take risks if we want to succeed. And with you by my side, I know we can handle whatever comes our way."Lola smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "We'll get through this together. Just promise me you'll be cautious.""I promise," Miles said, kissing her forehead. "Now, I need to get ready. I have a banquet to attend."# Valeria strode into the Dominion City Council office, her heel
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 205: The Banquet Part 1
Miles drove his car through the impressive entrance of the Autumn estate, admiring the luxury that enveloped him. Upon parking in the assigned spot, he observed a luxurious, high-end car pulling in next to him, exuding signs of wealth and privilege. Rachael, Nigel’s niece, emerged with an attitude of pride and contempt. Her friend, equally haughty, followed closely behind.The security guard approached them with a polite nod. "Good evening, Ms. Rachael. Welcome to Mr. Marcus's birthday celebration."Rachael didn't acknowledge the greeting. Instead, she eyed Miles's car with a look of pure disgust. "Who allowed that piece of junk onto the estate?" she snapped, pointing accusatorily at the security guard.The guard shifted uncomfortably. "Mr. Miles is here to celebrate Mr. Marcus's birthday as well, Ms. Rachael."Rachael's eyes narrowed as she turned to scrutinize Miles, who was adjusting his tie and smoothing down his suit jacket. The suit, while not flashy, was neat and respectable.

While taking his seat, he couldn't resist pondering on the events of the evening thus far. Rachael and her friend's rudeness, along with the receptionist's condescension, were insignificant in the big picture. He was present for Marcus, marking a significant achievement for a man he deeply admired. Miles reclined in his seat, prepared to handle the remainder of the evening with the same collected and composed attitude he had displayed thus far. The others were unaware that looks could be misleading, and that a person's true worth was not in their clothing or vehicle, but in their behavior and character. Miles sat nearby, overhearing two women engrossed in a lively discussion. "Have you noticed that vehicle in the parking area?" "Is that the elderly one?" inquired one of them, expressing disbelief in her tone. "Yes! I can't believe someone had the nerve to show up in that," the other replied, laughing. "I wonder who it belongs to."Miles sighed inwardly but kept his focus straight

Within, the magnificent ballroom was truly impressive. Shiny chandeliers dangled from above, illuminating the stylishly attired attendees with a cozy light. Before heading to the bar, Miles paused to admire the beauty of the surroundings. He asked for Scotch without any mixers, his voice calm. The bartender nodded in agreement and swiftly made the drink. Upon taking a sip, Miles sensed a presence next to him. He turned around and saw an older man standing in front of him, his eyes filled with curiosity. "The greeting you got from young Rachael was quite something," the man said with a laugh. Miles smiled wryly. "Yes, well, she certainly has her opinions."The man extended a hand. "I'm Marcus Autumn. And you must be Miles."Miles shook his hand firmly. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Marcus."Marcus waved off the formality. "Please, call me Marcus. And don't let Rachael's behavior get to you. She's... protective of the family image, to put it mildly."Miles nodded. "I understand. I
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 208: A Game of Chance
Lola took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper. "He said it was a chance for us to have some fun, to mingle with influential people."Miles's expression darkened. "Fun? Influential people? Mr. Caleb invited you to this party to embarrass me, didn't he?"Fiona, her face flushed with a mix of anger and desperation, interjected. "Miles, that's not fair. Mr. Caleb might have his reasons, but we didn't come here to embarrass you."Johnathan placed a hand on Fiona's shoulder, his voice weary. "Fiona, let him speak. Miles, we had no idea Mr. Caleb's intentions were anything but genuine."Miles shook his head, frustration evident in his eyes. "Mr. Caleb's been trying to undermine me ever since I won that lottery. He knew bringing you here and getting you involved in this gambling would make me look bad."Lola stepped closer, her voice soothing but firm. "Miles, we didn't know. We didn't come here to hurt you."Fiona's eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. "I just... I though
