Fiona was livid. “How dare that bastard try to sell me a lie this huge? I regret the second I decided to ask him for help.”“Mom, calm down, okay!” Lesley stared at her mother with concern. “Getting worked up over a scumbag like Miles is not worth it in the least. Let’s just go now; I don’t even like being here.”The two decidedly left the hospital without even bothering to pay a visit to Lola or the sick Kelsey.Meanwhile, Miles was on his way back to his wife and daughter when he called a number. Luckily, he was alone in the elevator, so he could speak without caution."Young Master Miles, how may I help you this time?" Dorian's voice conveyed his pleasant mood. The old CEO was very happy that the Creek's heir had needed his help more lately.“Dorian, I need you on a very urgent search. Can you handle that for me?” Miles went straight to the point.“Of course, I believe there’s nothing you need that the Creek family’s name and global influence can’t obtain. Please, state your reques

Miles halted in his steps as he was heading back to his wife and daughter. "Dorian, are you trying to piss me off? Why are you suddenly talking about my dad now?" His tone relayed his mood which had now been soured at the mention of his father.“My apologies, Young Master Miles. Please, know that it’s not my intention to make you angry.” Dorian quickly made his intention clear before he persisted on the matter. “It’s just that….I want you to know that your father has been living in utter regret ever since you left home. It was like his closest family had abandoned him. Even though he knew you were still alive, your absence in his life still left a deep wound in your father’s heart.” Miles hated to admit it, but his heart clenched when he heard these words from Dorian. He could only imagine how much suffering his father must have gone through. This thought almost made Miles’s heart swell with guilt, but then he remembered that his father was the reason that his mother had lost her life
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: EDMUND’S SHAMELESSNESS.
After Miles delivered the meal for both him and his wife, they settled in silence as they stared helplessly at the frail state of their unconscious daughter. It was early that evening when Kelsey finally opened her eyes and both parents rushed over with worry. They tried talking to Kelsey but she didn’t say a word, merely glancing around her surroundings until she became unconscious once again. This has long been the cycle of their daughter. She rarely opened her eyes, and it was always brief before she returned to a state of unconsciousness. The doctors claimed that this was a sign of Kelsey's body trying to fight her ailment.Lola decided to speak first. "So, how are you going to make a living now? You've quit your job, and what I earn as a sales manager at Styleon is not enough to feed you and me while trying to save up for the next batch of medications that Kelsey will need once she runs out of the current one.""Don't worry about that." Miles finally looked up at his wife's face
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: KELSEY’S SURGERY.
“Young Master, we found the perfect Bone Marrow match for little Kelsey!”Miles's heart soared with immense joy as he heard these words from Dorian over the phone. "That's great, Butler Dorian." He had almost forgotten that this was one of the great benefits of being a member of such a powerful family like the Creeks. "Have you made the necessary arrangements?""Of course, Young Master Miles," Dorian spoke with enthusiasm. "I've had the bone marrow delivered to your hospital. Also, I've ordered the chief residents to assign only the best surgeons to perform the transplant. I believe your daughter will be fine after this."Tears welled up in Miles's eyes as the thought of seeing his daughter's smile again made him emotional. While Lola had gone to dinner with her family and Lucas to thank him for something that the fraudster didn't even do, Miles had stayed with Kelsey instead. He had slept here when he got the call from Dorian.An hour later, Lola rushed over with teary eyes. “Miles,
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

“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

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?"

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

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
