Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE: BEING WITH FAMILY.
“Dorian, I want you to book me an early flight to the capital tomorrow.” Miles suddenly turned to the butler with a commanding tone.Dorian was, of course, cut off guard. “Young Master Miles, you can’t do that. Your father strictly demanded that you remain as low-key as possible. If you go to the capital, you might come across whoever or whatever has sent the entire Creek family into hiding. Plus, if they catch you, they might use you to threaten your father, forcing him out of hiding.”Miles sighed. “Keep the booking on the hush-hush then. But Dorian, I have to visit my family’s home. I need to see how things are over there. I’ve been away from there for too long to not know now.”Miles had walked out of the Eckre Empire Headquarters building feeling a bit soulless. He currently had his mind riddled with so many thoughts. Even on his way home, he couldn’t get his mind off of his family, wondering if they were okay or not. The person he was most worried about was his father. Those yea
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX: DISAPPOINTED WIFE.
Dinner turned out amazing. Lola had really gone all out with the food. The family of three ate their fill and it didn’t take long before Kelsey fell asleep. Miles took his sweet little angel to bed before returning to The living room. Miles was a bit surprised when he found his wife slowly dancing to the soft music coming from the stereo. “My love, what are you doing?”Lola opened her eyes with a smile on her face. “I’m swaying to the music, Babe.” She hummed with a satisfied expression. “I’m really happy today. Not only did I get the promotion, but I also got to vent out my grievances at that bastard, Edmund Porsche. From now on, I’m his superior. I feel so alive.” There was an ecstatic expression on Lola’s face. She suddenly beckoned her husband. “Come here; I want you to dance with me.”Miles smiled as he walked toward his wife. A few minutes later, the two were waltzing through the living room, chuckling as they tried not to smack their legs against the couch footings as they rot
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN: MEETING OLD MAN PHILIP (1).
Miles got up very early the next morning and left the house after making sure he had prepared breakfast for the family. He also left a note and a recess age for Lola as the woman and her daughter were still sleeping when he left. Miles got to the airport with a slightly troubled heart. He soon boarded the plane and was on his way to the capital. On his way there, he couldn’t help but keep thinking about his family. Is his father okay? Should he go check on his father’s company once he arrives? Is everyone he left at home alive? What kind of threat could they possibly be facing that the family had to be dissuaded? How powerful is this supposed enemy of theirs? There was so much going through Miles’s head that he could feel an incoming headache. He decided to distract himself until he got to his destination. Once Miles arrived at the airport, he walked out of it to feel a heavy wave of nostalgia. This was the same airport he used when he left home, walking away from the life he was bo
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT: MEETING OLD MAN PHILIP (2).
1Old man, Philip could only chuckle weakly. “I should have known you would be too curious about this to not hear your father’s warning. Just when he told you to stay away, you decided to return here. Yet, we’ve been begging you to come home for so many years but you refused.” He gently patted Miles’s back.Miles pulled away from the hug. “Old man Philip.” There was a pleading look in his eyes as he regarded the old man.Philip could easily decipher that stare as Miles begged him to reveal all that he knew. “Hmmmh! Very well. It’s best that you know the truth now.” It was at this moment that the smell of something burning reached them and the two men turned to the electric cooker to find the source sitting on top of it.“My lunch!” Philip pushed Miles away and hurried back to save whatever edibility was left of the burning lunch, which was fortunately enough.Half an hour later, the two were seated at the dining area with enough food for two and warm herbal tea to ward off the cold. I
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE: MAXWELL’S ORIGIN.
“I was told that we came from old power, and that was where the family’s business empire came from as well.” Miles had a look of incredulity. “I never knew that our family was of the first-generational wealth.” He felt a wave of exhaustion hit him. “I never knew that my father went through so much all alone.” A wave of sudden realization sent Miles lurching in his seat. “Wait! Old man Philip, are you telling me that my father disbanded the family because his true family has found him?!”Old man Philip smiled sadly at Miles. “It is sadly the case.” He shook his head slightly. “Miles, don’t bother searching for your father. He probably went back to that family to protect you. He made sure to keep your identity a deep secret from them. Now that they’re after him, he will ensure that they never find you. Miles, your true family is very dangerous.”Miles was in awe of his father. “What is my current status?”Philip didn’t expect that Miles would suddenly ask such an insightful question. Ap
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY: MEETING FAMILY AGAIN.
Miles spent the rest of that day roaming around the Creek Estates. He couldn’t the deep feeling of nostalgia hit him as he looked around the huge building. This was where he spent the entirety of his childhood after all. Therefore, there were endless memories at every location and corner of his home.Miles had dinner with old man Philip before going to bed. He slept in his old room, unable to stop the onslaught of memories from flooding into his mind. The ones that hurt the most though, were the ones of his mother. Back when he was a kid, his mother would come visit his bedroom and tuck him into sleep. He remembered her beautiful face. At this moment, he couldn’t stop himself from tearing up. He had not really been able to overcome the loss, as he had lost himself in the life he created outside of his childhood home. Now that he was back here, the desolation mirrored the void in his heart – the same space in his heart that his mother used to occupy. Miles had tears in his eyes by the
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY-ONE: EDGE OF BANKRUPTCY.
Miles apologized as he approached his cousin with the most sincere look in his eyes. “I’m sorry for your pain. If it helps in forgiving me, you should know that I never knew of my own death until today.”Adriana suddenly dropped what was in her hands and rushed forward to wrap her arms around Miles's waist, placing her head on his chest as she began sobbing. “Miles, I can’t believe it! You’re alive! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it!”Miles froze for a while as he didn’t expect that Adriana would actually get over the shock so fast. He slowly wrapped his arms around her as well as his eyes became blurry.“I didn’t expect to see you of all people, especially here at the estate while it’s in such a condition.” Miles’s voice may be calm but it was filled with emotions. The two stood there, hugging for over half an hour before they let each other go. While growing up as the only child of the Creek patriarch, Maxwell Creek, and the patriarch’s wife, Gabriella Joanna, Miles didn’t have a
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY-TWO: NEW INVESTOR.
“Miles, Lite-Flex Group Corporation might have been a lone company, but you know it was heavily affiliated with your father’s conglomerate.” Adriana sat up straight in her seat. “Since we’re family, we were sure that having Lite-Flex Group Corporation rely on Eckre Empire would be more beneficial for us, and it was, until now that is.”“I can’t believe it.” Miles shook his head. “My dad would have made sure there was a way out for Lite-Flex to remain afloat even before he had even shut down Eckre Empire.”“You’re right. Uncle Maxwell did do that, but it didn’t really last long.” Adriana allowed a moment of silence to pass before she continued. “Due to our company’s rapid success, we had a lot of rival companies that have been trying to take us down for years. Once these rival companies learned that Eckre Empire was shutting down, they began stealing clients and investors began pulling out. They were able to do this by utilizing the public’s anger at Eckre Empire's footsteps shutting d
