Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: OFFICE RUMORS.
Miles watched with an emotionless face as Lola mocked him. He felt a bit of grievance at the fact that he had become someone unreliable to his own wife. Lola couldn’t even trust that he had the power to properly protect her against external problems.When Miles thought about it, he realized that he couldn’t blame his wife for thinking this way about him. After all, his wife had only ever seen the most embarrassing side of him. He was beginning to regret that he didn’t tell Lola of his true identity from the beginning. His wife would have been living an amazing and worry-free life right now instead of dealing with so much nonsense.The Creek heir shook off the thought of regret. He knew better now; he was going to use his entitled power to trample on anyone who dared to mess with his family in any way from now on.With a cold heart, Miles left home without saying a word to his family. He grabbed a taxi and headed straight to Styleon Group Corporation.On getting to the company, the tre
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: OFFICE FIGHT.
“Yes, Sir!” Fisher bowed his head slightly, looking more like a butler than a company manager. Once Fisher McCall was gone, Miles instructed his subordinates as he began making some calls. No one messes with his family and gets away with it.Back at Miles’s home,Lola noticed that Miles had left their house without telling her about where he was going. Worried, she picked up her phone and was about to call him but she halted as pride welled up in her heart. If there’s anyone who should be taking the initiative to call, she believed it should be Miles as he was responsible for their argument.She was still pissed at him. At the office, her superior – Edmund Porsche – had always treated her with respect, until Miles messed it all up by disrespecting the man. The worst part was that with Miles gone, Edmund was taking revenge on her instead. She shook off her train of thought and brought herself back to the present. Since Miles wasn’t here, she couldn’t leave Kelsey alone in the house a
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY: HARASSMENT.
Lola had left Styleon Group Corporation in anger, and it was all due to her husband once again. Lately, that was all she had been getting from Miles – Anger.She was currently on her way to see a client in order to close a new deal for the company. At the thought of this, Lola felt helpless.Back when things were quite simple, she used to be excited about these things. She was always meeting up with clients with an optimistic mind and a confident personality. Most of the time, she had always closed the deal on a good note. It was why Lola was one of the most valued employees at the company.Sadly, that had no longer been the case. Ever since Edmund had suddenly changed towards her, her work life had turned into a world of anxiety for her. Worse, Edmund started setting her up with opportunistic clients who always forced her into doing things she didn’t want to do.The particular client she was meeting today was the same person she met the last few times. For some reason, he had refused
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: REPRIMANDED.
Lola couldn’t take it anymore. The client’s hand on her thigh really irked her. She felt the strong urge to go home and scrub any trace of his hand off her body. She had tried her possible best to be professional through this meeting, but the awful man had the audacity to threaten her into sleeping with him.This was why Lola felt no remorse when she got up and slapped the man across the face before leaving Meanwhile, the client could not believe what had just happened. Though it didn’t take long before the stinging pain on his cheek made him realize that he had indeed been slapped. He then furiously yelled out threats as he watched her leave the restaurant.The client was about to reach out to Edmund to have Lola fired. After all, he was the contract agent from the company that Styleon wanted to work with. He had begun texting Edmund when a call came in. The client was left in deep shock as he saw that it was the CEO of his company who was calling him.“Hello, Sir.” The client quick
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: PATHETICALLY SORRY.
An angry and frustrated Lola had become deeply sad as she was now sitting by the bus stop, waiting for the next public transport to show up. She couldn’t get what happened out of her mind. She had slapped the very client she was supposed to coerce into signing that contract deal. She regretted her action, berating herself as she told herself that she could have done better. She wished she had been more patient with the client.She was sure that she would get into trouble once she reported what had happened with the client to her superior. She sighed in further regret. Edmund had been berating her endlessly at the office, constantly telling her coworkers that she was ineffective. With what had now happened, Edmund will use this as proof of her ineffectiveness.“Miss! Miss Lola! Please, hold up!”Lola jerked up at the sound and she turned her head to find the client running toward her. As soon as he stopped, he was wheezing as he caught his breath. It was clear that this man had been ru
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: PROMOTION.
When Lola got to the office to submit the contract file the next morning, she was unnerved as she was met with smiles and pleasant greetings from her coworkers. She quickly ignored them as she had long chosen to focus on her work while ignoring any form of insults that might be directed at her.Lola got to the company manager’s office and she submitted the contract file. “Sir, the contract deal was a success.”Fisher McCall smiled at her. “I know; the company we’re working with called to make a formal confirmation on their side.” He stretched his hand in the direction of one of the two seats on the other side of his desk. “Please, take a seat.”Lola was worried when she heard this. This was not her first time bagging a minor deal with a company. Normally, once she submits the file, she’s supposed to get back to work. But now, the company manager was suddenly asking her to sit.“Sir, is there a problem with the contract file? I personally went through it before presenting it to the cli
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
As a pseudo-sales director, one of Lola’s jobs is to attend meetings with the other upper-ranked employees at Styleon Group. Though she was still on probation under the guidance and mentorship of Edmund Porsche, she was required to be there to learn the ropes of how these meetings go, including the topics that are discussed.Lola had been excited to attend this meeting, and she had even stayed up the previous night to study all the important aspects of what will be discussed at the meeting. She had even gone through the company’s archive to get a deeper understanding of things. Right now she felt like she was ready to show her new coworkers that she was worthy of the promotion she got.Once the meeting started, Lola paid close attention to what was discussed, taking necessary notes for her to go over later. She never expected to be asked anything as she was still in training, and yet, Edmund had other plans. He intended to embarrass Lola by showing the other coworkers that she wasn’t
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: MANAGEMENT MEETING.
Edmund glared at Lola. “I expect you to succeed the same way you sealed the $700 million deal this week.” He saw the glare he was getting from the other coworkers. “Guys, C’mon! I’m merely teaching my underling the importance of consistent success. She had done the impossible while being a mere sales manager. Imagine the great things she could accomplish as a sales director! I’m merely equipping her with the best gift a mentor can offer: the chance to climb higher.”Even though some of the members in the meeting didn’t believe Edmund, they really couldn’t say anything against it as the excuse he gave was quite valid.At the end of the meeting, Lola had no choice but to accept the task. She had entered the meeting room feeling excited and optimistic. Unfortunately, she was now leaving the meeting room feeling apprehensive and worried.It was now Friday, the day Miles had ordered that the meeting would be held. All the notable members that were expected to be there were now rushing towa

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

Chapter 266: Revelations and Regret
"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

Chapter 264: The Chase Intensifies
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
