Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SIXTY: MISSING MONEY.
Miles was deeply confused after the head of security confirmed his question with a head nod. Miles wondered how someone from the finance department could be this irresponsible with the company’s money. He needed to talk to Fisher McCall about these inadequacies in employee competence. If this is not curbed on time, it will lead to problems in the future.“Have a nice day,” Miles said his goodbyes to the head of security. He needed to talk to Fisher.“Wait!” The security suddenly stood up as he glared at Miles with suspicion in his eyes. “Something is wrong.”Miles had a confused expression on his face. He had no idea what was going on.The head of security lifted the briefcase to show Miles what was in it. Miles walked closer to see that the briefcase was truly filled with dollar notes. That was when he noticed that there was a small space that had been made in the box. There was supposed to be money in that space.“As you can see, the money isn’t complete.” The head of security had a

“Put away that phone. Do not call the police, got it?” Fisher McCall spoke sternly to the head of security. “As for these two, I’ll resolve the issue. They’re coming with me.”The head of security could only give in with a nod of approval. This was his superior after all. Fisher led Miles and the finance personnel out of the security sector and they took the elevator up to the floor where the company manager’s office is located. Once they were gone, the head of security suddenly had a look of anger on his face. “Damn it! We almost got him.” He then retrieved his phone and dialed a number. “Sir, I’m calling to give you feedback on that operation.”The person at the end of the call was Edmund Porsche. “Talk to me, Head Security. Have you arrested that bastard, Miles” He laughed with a dark tone in his voice. He was alone in his office, sitting behind his desk with a sinister expression on his face. “I can’t wait to see him in jail.”The head of security couldn’t help but scratch his h
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SIXTY–TWO: MEETING AN OLD FRIEND.
Fisher was surprised and he felt like something weird was going on. “How did you suddenly find the missing money?” The head of security struggled to calm his nerves. “I decided to double-check at that elevator where Mr. Miles had found the briefcase. It was there that I found the money at the back of the large plant pot near that elevator. I’m guessing someone must have accidentally kicked the briefcase open and the money had flown out.”Miles fought the urge to shake his head at this. It was clear as broad daylight that this head of security was lying. Miles began to wonder who was really responsible for this charade. It was quite certain that someone had set him up with that briefcase and the missing money. Miles was also smart enough to realize that this finance personnel was also paid to make him out as the thief. Otherwise, it made no sense that a man he had never conversed with would suddenly accuse him of robbery with so much certainty. The head of security dropped the briefc
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SIXTY–THREE: MEETING THEO AGAIN.
The tall and muscular man turned to see who had just called me. “Miles?! Miles Creek is that you?!” His confused face morphed into a bright smile before he rushed over.Miles laughed out as he also rushed to meet the man with a solid hug. He tapped the man’s back. “It’s been a while bro! I didn’t expect to see you here at all. What are you doing here?!”They ended the hug and they looked at each other to make sure they were physically alright. Both men are about the same height, but Eden Raven is a bit more muscular than Miles.“Look at you, Miles! You’re looking sharp! Damn, this suit looks expensive!” Eden Raven smiled brightly as he recalled his friend’s earlier question. “I came here to deliver a signed contract with another company.”“Nah, don’t bother about this.” Miles waved off the compliment about his suit. “Are you leaving right now?” He got a nod from his friend. “Awesome! I was on my way out as well. Let’s catch up.”The two then walked out of the gate. Miles had decided t
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SIXTY–FOUR: OUTING WITH FRIENDS.
Miles didn’t expect that Eden would jump into the fight for him; this was his fight after all. Still, he was very happy seeing that his friendship pact with Eden was still being upheld. They promised to always have each other’s back no matter what.Miles smirked as he felt vigor rush through his body. He then joined Eden as they beat down these armed men mercilessly.Theo Good smiled with pleasure when the thirty-six armed men he brought with him bombarded Miles and that friend who had joined him. His smile soon faltered into shock though, as he saw both Miles and Eden take down his men even though they were outnumbered.“No way! How is this possible?!” Theo didn’t like what he was seeing. Back at the antique store, Miles had called in the three underground kings to handle him, so he had assumed that this man couldn’t fight. Now he could see how wrong he was.Unknown to Theo Good, Miles and Eden had trained heavily in various martial arts like Taekwondo, Kung Fu, and Muay Thai. Theref

Miles led Eden to the restaurant and Eden was shocked when he saw that the establishment was a very expensive one.“Dude, are you sure about this place?” Eden looked at Miles with slight worry. “I’m not sure if I can afford it.”Miles smirked at his old friend. “That’s okay; just leave it to me.”It was then that a man approached them. “Oh my goodness! It looks like neither of you guys have aged a day;”Eden and Miles turned their gazes to find a slightly shorter and pudgy man heading toward them. “Guys, it’s me, Bruce Daniels!”“We know!” Eden and Miles chuckled as they shook their heads.The three men came together and exchanged hugs and pleasantries.Bruce looked at the restaurant. “Woah, Miles! This is where you want us to have dinner? I’m sorry, my guy, but I’m not sure I can afford even the cheapest meal here.Miles clapped each hand on Bruce and Eden’s backs. “You guys shouldn’t worry about this. Let’s just go in and have an amazing night already.”Eden and Bruce still weren’t

Fiona scoffed. “If you have enough money to come here, then why aren’t you using the money to take care of my daughter? She has done so much for you, yet you’re still such a loser. If you truly love her like you claim, then she shouldn’t be suffering this much.”Miles froze as he heard this. He couldn’t say anything because he felt like Fiona was right. Even though, in reality, he had never spent the money earned by his wife on himself, his wife and her family were certain that was where he was getting his money from since he was jobless.Miles took what Fiona said as a piece of advice he should keep at heart rather than take it as an insult.The awkwardness in the air was getting thick when a waiter showed up.“Good evening, Sirs.”' The male waiter greeted Miles, Eden, and Bruce. “Are you here to reserve a table to dine tonight?”Both Eden and Bruce stared at Miles, leaving him to answer since he brought them here. After hearing everything Fiona had to say to Miles, they got even mor
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SIXTY–SEVEN: ELITE TABLE.
Miles waited with a cold face as the waiter left to call the manager. A few seconds later, a man with gray hair showed up.“Sir, this is the pathetic man who threatened me into calling you. I was practically bullied, Sir.” Eden raised an eyebrow. “Well, maybe my friend here wouldn’t have had to insist you call over your manager if you had done what you were supposed to do.” He turned to the manager. “Your waiter was very unprofessional in the way he regarded my friend here. Perhaps, you should consider getting a better hire.”Bruce nodded his head. “I second that. I also witnessed your waiter being utterly rude to my friend.”The manager didn’t look like he was in a good mood as he looked at Miles, checking out his outfit thoroughly. “Your outfit looks quite legit, but I doubt it’s real.”Fiona laughed. “Of course, it’s not real. How would such a poverty-stricken man like that be able to afford the real deal?”Lesley became curious after hearing this, so she whispered to her mother.

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

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?"

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

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

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

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
