Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY: CONTRACT LEGEND.
Lola held a contract file in her hand with the brightest smile on her face as she walked into the Styleon Group Corporation building. She was returning from Eckre Empire Headquarters and she had just achieved an amazing feat that no one else in her company had done.She walked straight into the elevator and headed straight to Edmund’s office. She knocked and was allowed inside.Edmund sighed as he looked up from his desk to find the last person he wanted to lay his eyes on. “Oh, it’s just you “ There was nothing but disappointment in his voice. “What do you want, Blaine? I don’t have the time or energy to entertain failures.” He chuckled out of self-amusement.Lola sneered at her heart. This man had always been like this. It had always been a nightmare working for someone like him. All these years, she had always believed that this man had the best intentions for her, but now she realized that it was all an illusion he cooked perfectly for her.Lola raised the file in her hand. “I’m h
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE: GET KELSEY A CAR.
Edmund was smiling from ear to ear as he walked into Fisher’s office.“Good day, Mr. Fisher.” He walked over to the man’s desk.Fisher raised an eyebrow at this; he hadn’t even given the Sales Director permission to sit down. “Hello to you too, Edmund. Why do you have such a weirdly happy smile on your face?”Edmund chuckled almost like a little kid as he dropped the contact file that he got from Lola on the table. “Sir Fisher, you should check this out.”Fisher had a confused look as he opened the file and went through the details. “Edmund, isn’t this the contract proposal with Eckre Empire Headquarters that had been rejected multiple times? Why are you having me go through this again?” It didn’t take more than a few seconds before his frown turned into shock as he saw that the contract had been approved by Eckre Empire Headquarters.Edmund felt glee as he saw the shock on Fisher’s face. “You can’t believe it, right?”Fisher kept his gaze on the word for a while before he looked up a
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: LUCAS’S ARROGANCE.
Lucas looked at Miles with his head raised high. “Um, I want you to speak to Lesley on my behalf. Ever since things went crazy at that old man’s birthday party, she kinda blocked me on all social media platforms. I really miss her, and I think you’re the next best way back into her heart.”Miles had a confused expression on his face. “Hold on! Let me get this straight. After the Blaine family basically found out you were a fraud, just like I warned them multiple times, they finally threw you out of their life. Worse, Lesley doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Now that you need a way back into her heart so she can forgive you, you came to me for help.” He waved his hand in Lucas’s face. “Hello?! Do you still realize who you’re talking to right now? I’m the same trashy poverty-stricken man you used to look down on all the time. Or have you forgotten you said these things about me?”Lucas raised an eyebrow at Miles, not looking apologetic in the least. “Look, I’m not
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: CAR PURCHASE.
Lucas didn’t care if he was being too loud. “You should be grateful that I even considered talking to you, and offered you money. Aren’t you the same broke-ass man who has disappointed his entire in-laws?”Miles turned around and glared at Lucas. “Lucas, get lost already. Can’t you see we’re in a calm environment? Behave appropriately or be excused out.”“You want to buy a car? Are you serious?!” Lucas burst into laughter as he pointed a finger at Miles. “How can you afford anything here?! Listen here, just because you gave Mr. Jonathan a jade box that turned out to be priceless doesn’t mean you can delude yourself into thinking you have any money. Everyone knows you bought that item for $5!”The female worker who had wanted to guide Miles heard everything and she began noticing that Miles's outfit was very cheap. She scooted away from him with a frown. She berated herself for not realizing that this man was poor.“Hello, Sir, if you’re not really here to buy any car, I would have to
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: BAD NEWS.
Lucas didn’t stay long after he witnessed Mike buying the $12 million car.When Miles and Kelsey got home to Lola, Kelsey was in the best mood.“Mama, I missed you!” Kelsey ran into her mother’s arms, hugging her tightly. “How are you?”“Mama is doing well, baby!” Lola smiled brightly at seeing her daughter.“My love, you’re home. It’s nice to see the office isn’t holding you up like before.” Miles walked over and hugged his wife before kissing her.“Ew!” Kelsey shrieked and she quickly covered her eyes. “You have a kid here!”Miles and Lola giggled at Kelsey.“Mama, mama! You won’t believe it but Dada bought me a car!” Kelsey began to describe how beautiful the car looked and how much she truly loved the vehicle. She was an innocent kid who wanted to share this piece of good news with her mother.Lola’s smile faltered as she turned to her husband. “Miles, you bought a car for Kelsey? How much is this car?” Miles nodded his head. “Yeah, we went over and bought the car. She would need
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: FAILED NEGOTIATION (1).
Miles was surprised when he entered the bedroom to find his wife crying her eyes out. “My love, what’s wrong?” There was a deep frown on his face as he rushed over to her side.“Honey, I’m confused right now. I just don’t know what to do.” Lola rested her head on her husband’s shoulder.Miles rubbed a soothing hand up and down her arms. “Why don’t you start by telling me what happened? Let me be your relief tonight, so let it out.”Lola took in a deep calming breath before she began narrating all that happened; right from when she was forced by Edmund Porsche to take on the impossible task of getting the contract deal with Eckre Empire Headquarters, up to where she recently found out that Edmund has shamelessly taken all the credit for her hard work.Miles smiled warmly at Lola. “I understand how you feel and you have every right to be in this mood. But don’t forget that the contract deal was registered under your name when you accepted it. That is something Edmund can’t change. Soone
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: FAILED NEGOTIATION (2).
Once they got to Eckre Empire Headquarters, the two went to the large foyer to talk to the receptionist. Once this receptionist confirmed them, they were led to the floor where the project manager was waiting for them.Once they got to the designated floor, they quickly found the room and the project manager waiting for them. With a huge smile on his face, Edgar introduced himself to the project manager. Edgar didn’t bother introducing the sexy lady he brought with him, and the project manager also didn’t bother asking about her name.“It is so nice to meet you.” Edmund couldn’t help but gush slightly. “I never thought that Eckre Empire Headquarters would finally accept the contract we had failed to get approved.”The project manager smiled professionally. “Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if Miss Lola Blaine hadn’t presented us with some impressive presentations. I was really impressed with the way she delivered the introduction to the proposal back then.” The man began gla

Lola was surprised at what she just heard. “Mr. Porsche?!” She had to be sure it was him she was talking to, so she checked the caller ID once again. “Mr. Porsche, please, slow down. What is going on?”“Miss Blaine, I am currently at Eckre Empire Headquarters with the project manager you secured the contract deal with.” Edmund was at a corner of the meeting room as he whispered into the phone. He glanced back to the couch to find the project manager looking quite impatient. “The project manager has refused to start this meeting without you. He was speaking through gritted teeth. He hated that he had to beg Lola, of all people, for help. Alas, he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, he would ruin this contract deal and might even have it canceled. “I need you here as soon as……” Edmund wasn’t sure what he was hearing as he listened to the sudden beep sounds coming from the call. Lola was no longer on the other end of the call. “Did this woman just hang up on me?”Meanwhile, Miles

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
