Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETEEN: MALL TROUBLE.
It's been two months since Kelsey had her bone marrow transplant. During that time frame, she finally woke up and cried out when she saw her parents. Miles and Lola were left an emotional wreck as they hugged their daughter. After this, it took two weeks of proper monitoring before the doctors officially discharged Kelsey.The family of three had never been happier when they returned home that day and ate together. Lola had even allowed Miles to sleep in the bedroom, so they could both snuggle with their daughter.Meanwhile, Lola was getting furious with Miles. Every time she tells her husband to find a job, Miles simply claims that he has enough money to take care of all of them. As days turned into weeks, Lola saw that despite the amount of spending that Miles was indulging in, he had not run out of money even though he was currently jobless. Unfortunately, this only ended up making Lola Blaine even more scared, as she still believed that Miles had gotten that money from a loan sha
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY: TRYING TO OPPRESS MILES.
Miles's eyes widened and he quickly rushed forward to help his daughter up. He looked at the other girl with surprise before looking up to find that her parents didn't care about what their daughter had just done, nor were they reprimanding her for it. Meanwhile, it was at that moment that Lesley entered the store with shocked eyes. She had rushed over earlier to reprimand Miles for wasting away her sister's hard-earned money when she caught the sight of the other girl yanking away the blue dress from Kelsey's hand before pushing her to the ground. Luckily, Kelsey wasn’t hurt in the least, but she was quite furious as she got back up and faced the other girl who was around her age. “Awwwn! That was mean! That’s mine!”“Ha! You snooze, you lose!” The other girl stuck out her tongue at Kelsey in a show of mockery. “No, it’s mine! Give that back!” Kelsey lurched forward and she grabbed the other end of the blue dress. “I took the Cinderella dress first so it’s mine!”Miles was lost fo
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: CHALLENGING THE COUPLE (1).
Miles looked at the staff members with surprise and a bit of annoyance. “Why are my daughter and I being forced to return the dress when we clearly picked it up first?”The middle-aged woman glared hatefully at Miles. “How dare you? Are you accusing my daughter of stealing that dress from your daughter?! The audacity of your deceit!”“You!” The middle-aged man pointed a finger at Miles. “Do you even have any proof that your daughter picked up the dress first?”Everyone, including the staff members and some other customers who had noticed the commotion going on here, turned their gaze to Miles. They were waiting for his answer.Miles raised an eyebrow with a slight smirk. "Of course, I can prove it. Have you forgotten that this establishment has CCTV cameras? I'm sure one of them must have a video. Let's see who's lying between the two of us."The aloof expression on the middle-aged couple's faces crumbled slightly as fear gripped their hearts. In reality, they know very well that thei
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: CHALLENGING THE COUPLE (2).
“What the hell do you mean by that?”Lesley was shocked at Miles’s persistence in this matter. “If they call those security officers over, they will have your dumb ass arrested and locked away. Without a single penny to your name, how would you even afford a lawyer to defend yourself? Even if you have no care for your life, you should have pity on Kelsey who would have to grow up without a father, and my sister who would have to start working extra hours just so she could afford a competent lawyer to bail your sorry ass out of jail.”"Enough!" Miles stared coldly at Lesley, successfully shutting her up. "I've made up my mind to not have my daughter be bullied by such a horrible family." He easily moved Lesley aside before gently taking Kelsey by the hand and leading her back to their initial spot. "I'm not letting go of this dress today no matter what." He glared at the middle-aged couple, watching as they scooted away from him in fear. "As for you two useless excuses for parents, you
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: THE BOUTIQUE’S MANAGER.
Everyone watched as every single piece of clothes on the aisle was packed up by the boutique’s staff members. Once everything was settled, all the pairs of eyes turned to Miles.“Well, the clothes have been packed for you.” The middle-aged man raised a skeptical eyebrow at Miles. “It’s time for you to pay.”Miles sneered before digging into his jacket pocket only for his hand to touch a space. His smile dropped in place of a confused expression as he turned to his jeans pocket only to find that his card was missing. That was when he recalled that he had left his premium black card at home. He had been so excited to spoil Kelsey for the day that he had actually forgotten to take the one thing he needed."What's the matter, you low-life scum?!" The middle-aged woman glared hatefully at Miles. "The staff is waiting for you to pay." There was a moment of silence as everyone waited for Miles to say something. On getting nothing but silence from him, the middle-aged woman burst out into lau
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: MILES’S IDENTITY.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words from the mall manager’s mouth. The unimportant audience quickly stopped their badmouthing as they wondered if they had heard the manager right. The middle-aged couple froze on the spot as their gaze slowly shifted onto Miles’s face. At this moment, they saw him in a totally different light now. Lesley was not spared in the least, her eyes became wide open and so was her mouth. She turned her gaze to find Miles standing straight as the mall manager remained bowing before him. She couldn’t understand a shred of what was going on. The staff members glanced at each other in confusion which then slowly turned to immense shock. One of them walked forward. “Manager, who is he?”"How dare you even ask that dumb question?" The mall manager, who had arrived with a very calm demeanor, suddenly became easily irritated while addressing his employees. "Are you all dumb or what?! Are you telling me you couldn't recognize a top superior?! I told you ab
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: FLAUNTING.
Everyone watched in surprise as the pompous family dropped to their knees with pleading eyes."Sir, please forgive us. It is my fault." The middle-aged man now had an unbelievably miserable expression on his face. "On behalf of my family, I apologize for any trouble we might have caused you. We had no idea we were messing with such a big shot."Miles walked slowly before stopping right before the three kneeling people; the middle-aged woman had even forced her daughter to kneel beside her. She couldn’t even dare look up at Miles.Miles scoffed. “So let me get this straight. You’re telling me that you wouldn’t have felt any remorse for how you treated me and my daughter if my true status hadn’t been revealed.”The middle-aged man began shaking both his hands and head. "No! No! That's not what I meant…"“Then what did you mean exactly?” Miles cut off the middle-aged man with a stern gaze.The middle-aged couple shut their mouths as they couldn’t find anything reasonable to say.The crow
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: TAKING ADVANTAGE.
Miles could only look at his sister-in-law with incredulity. “Weren’t you the same person who had accused me of using her sister’s hard-earned money? You didn’t believe me when I told you that I had my own source of money. So why do you want me to spend a penny on you? Aren’t you scared that you’ll also be responsible for depleting your dear sister’s money?” That last sentence carried a heavy hint of sarcasm.Lesley rolled her eyes. “Can you stop that? I know you’re not really the so-called esteemed affiliate of the Creek business empire. I’m sure that the mall manager mistook you for whoever that real person is. Therefore, you are a fraud for going along with it.” She spoke with confidence.To Lesley, this was far more believable than accepting that Miles was truly a member of the Creek family.Little Kelsey glared up at her auntie after hearing her words. “Aunty Lesley, my dad is not a liar!”Miles looked down at his daughter with a warm smile. The little girl never ceases to amaze

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

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

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
