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.

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
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY-THREE: NEW INVESTOR (2).
“Cousin, that is not important right now, so please, save your lectures for another time!” Adriana replied quickly to Felix, effectively shutting him up.Felix was angry at Adriana’s retort, and even more so when he saw how the family members in the living room were making fun of him.Adriana turned to the old woman in the grand chair. “Granma Jenna, I found an investor!”Whispers suddenly broke into the atmosphere as family members began whispering to themselves. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing from Adriana’s mouth. Everyone here had already given up on Lite-Flex Group Corporation's possible survival, especially with the current status of their relationship with the customers. Since Eckre Empire Conglomerate had suddenly shut down, the public had stopped believing in them, stating that it was only a matter of time before they shut down as well. Now, here is Adriana telling them that there’s an investor willing to aid their company.“Adriana, are you sure you’re not jokin
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR: SILEM’S $20 BILLION INVESTMENT.
Miles chuckled over the phone. “Miss Adriana, don’t worry about this. I understand that your family is doubtful about a sudden investor at a time like this. All you need to know is that I’m a big fan of what Lite-Flex Group Corporation stands for. I am not willing to see such an amazing company go down the drain like this.” There was a moment of silence before Miles spoke with a more serious tone. “Fine, since you need some sort of understanding….. Miss Adriana, I have the intention to invest, at least, $20 billion to rejuvenate your company and have it back on its soaring momentum like in the past. Plus, I am only demanding forty percent of the company’s shares.”At this point, the family members couldn’t keep quiet again. The room was now filled with whispers as they couldn’t believe what this Mr. Silem was saying. This was simply an act of a benevolence too high. How can someone invest so much yet demand so small in return. Even Grandma Jenna and Felix were shocked. The call soon
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE: HAND OVER TO ADRIANA.
The matriarch of the Hide family, Felix Creek, and Adriana Creek waited in silence to hear what Mr. Silem had to say. Miles’s gaze glided across the varying faces of the three adults seated in front of me before he spoke. “The very important stipulation that can not be negotiated here is that I’ll only be signing this contract if Adriana would be CEO of Lite-Flex Group Corporation.”“What?! Are you fucking messing with me right now?!” Felix was immediately furious as he banged the table and got up on his feet. “I knew it! Thus man is a fucking fraud! He must have colluded with Adriana to remove me as the heir of the family company!” He pointed a finger at the masked investor before shifting it at Adriana’s face. “Ha! Your evil plans won’t work!”“Felix, I’ll only say this once. You better sit down and behave yourself, or else, I will have you thrown out of this restaurant.” Her voice was calm but cold. She gazed up at the angry, meeting his face with an icy glare.Felix’s anger faded
