Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 247: The Supermarket Crises 2
Miles couldn't resist smiling. He shifted his focus to the cluster of youthful men causing chaos. Their disappointment was evident as their efforts to create a disturbance failed. Miles nonchalantly walked over to them. "Sorry, sirs." Earlier, I couldn't avoid hearing about your worries. I'm wondering, have you made any recent purchases here yourselves?" The young men exchanged uneasy glances. One of them spoke up, "Well, no, but we heard—"Miles interrupted him in a kind manner. "I understand." As someone who is heavily involved in running this store, I can guarantee our dedication to providing quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction. Actually, we are aiming to enhance and broaden our services more extensively. But don't just take my word for it - why not give us a chance? I believe you will be happily shocked. The young men shifted uneasily, evidently caught off guard by the direct confrontation. Miles continued, saying, "I'll tell you something," as he reached into
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 248: The Chariot Family
Miles sighed, sinking back into his chair. "It's... complicated, Ethan. But I'll explain. You're aware of the November 10th ball, right?"Ethan nodded slowly. "The city's founding celebration? Of course. It's all anyone's been talking about lately.""Exactly," Miles said. "And do you know who hosts this ball?""The four biggest families in the city," Ethan recited. "The Autumns, The Lyons, The Bravos, and The Chariots."Miles leaned back, a grim smile on his face. "Precisely. And I believe the Chariots are behind this incident at our supermarket."Ethan's jaw dropped. "But... why? How can you be so sure?"Miles stood up again, his voice low and intense. "Because, Ethan, I think they know my secret. And they're gathering information on me before the ball.""Your secret?" Ethan echoed, confusion evident in his voice. "Miles, what are you talking about?"Miles waved his hand dismissively. "That's not important right now. What matters is that the Chariots are making moves against us, and
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 249: Eren Chariot
Miles' mind raced, piecing together the puzzle. "The Autumn birthday banquet... the gamble... Eren lost a significant amount of money to me that night.""That's right," Muddy whimpered. "He was furious. This whole scheme, disrupting your supermarket, it was all about revenge."Miles paced the room, his anger building. "So the heir to the Chariot family decides to play petty games because he couldn't handle losing a bet? Pathetic."Muddy saw an opportunity and seized it. "Mr. Autumn, please, I'm just a pawn in all this. I was following orders. Have mercy!"Miles paused his pacing and faced Muddy, his emotions impossible to decipher. Silently, he made his way to a warehouse nook and grabbed a metal rod. Muddy's eyes opened wide in fear. "Please, no!" I shared all information with you! I am willing to do whatever it takes! Miles slowly advanced, holding a pipe. Muddy, you are correct. You did inform us about everything. And with that, I'll keep this brief. With a sudden movement, Mile
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 250: Calling In Some Favors
Following the end of the call, Miles promptly dialed a different number. The phone rang multiple times before a rough voice picked up. "Hello Director Chen, Miles Autumn speaking." I hope I'm not disturbing any important matters. "Miles, how may I assist you?" The director was cautious yet friendly in his tone. "I'm having some trouble at my supermarket. Repeated disturbances, possible organized crime involvement. I was hoping you could send someone to investigate."A silence could be heard from the other side. Could this be related to the Chariot family in any way? Miles' hold on the phone grew stronger. "What is the reason for your inquiry?" "Just a hunch. We've been hearing whispers, Miles. Be careful who you're picking fights with.""I appreciate the concern, Director," Miles said smoothly. "But I can handle the Chariots. What I need is for these disturbances to stop. Can you help me or not?"Another pause. "Alright, Miles. I'll send someone over. But don't make me regret thi
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 251: The Negotiation Table
The atmosphere in the temporary control room was tense as officers and negotiators gathered around a table, looking serious. Captain Rodriguez pounded his fist on the table, expressing his frustration through his voice. "Dammit! That negotiator just made everything worse. We've lost a hostage, and now those bastards inside are even more trigger-happy."Officer Chen, a seasoned veteran, leaned forward. "We need to change our approach, Cap. What if we send someone in with food? It could give us eyes on the inside."Rodriguez nodded slowly. "It's risky, but it might be our best shot. Who do we send?"As the officers debated, Miles stood at the edge of the group, listening intently. The police director noticed him and approached with a frown."Mr. Miles, this is a dangerous situation. You should leave for your own safety."Miles shook his head. "I can't just walk away, Director. Not when lives are at stake."The director sighed. "I appreciate your concern, but this is a job for trained p
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 252: The Hostage Rescue Plan
Miles nodded solemnly. "Understood, Captain."The director sighed heavily. "I hope we're not making a terrible mistake here."As the team began to brief Miles on the plan, Elena approached him."Hey, Mr. Miles," she said, her tone softer than before. "I... I'm sorry for doubting you earlier. That was impressive."Miles gave her a small smile. "No apologies necessary, Officer Elena. You were right to be cautious. We're all on the same side here."Elena nodded. "Just... be careful in there, okay? Those guys aren't going to play nice.""I will," Miles assured her. "And when this is over, perhaps you'd be interested in some martial arts training?"Elena chuckled despite herself. "Let's focus on getting those hostages out first, hotshot."As the team finalized the details, Miles took a deep breath. He knew the dangers that awaited him inside that bank. But he also knew that sometimes, to protect what matters most, you have to be willing to risk everything.The food cart was prepared, and M
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 253: Elena Bargaining Plot
Captain Rodriguez shook his head grimly. "We can't risk it. Not with a gun to his chest. We need to wait for an opening." Back inside, Miles felt the cold press of the gun barrel against his ribs. He understood the urgency of taking action, but a single misstep could put everyone in the bank at risk. "Pay attention," Miles said in a calm tone, "you're in a difficult situation."“I understand. However, murdering captives will not enhance your circumstances. Why not discuss this? Perhaps we can discover a solution that avoids causing harm to anyone else.”The leader hesitated, his grip on the gun loosening slightly. "You think you can negotiate better than that idiot the cops sent earlier?" Miles nodded slowly. "I'm willing to try if you are. What do you say we start by letting some of these people go? Show of good faith." For a moment, it seemed like the leader might consider it. Then his eyes hardened. "Nice try, but I wasn't born yesterday. You're stalling." He turned to his accom
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 254: A Moment of Distraction
Miles seized the moment of distraction. "Listen, I have a proposition for you. One that could get you out of here alive."The leader's attention snapped back to Miles. "Talk fast.""Release the hostages," Miles said, gesturing to the terrified civilians huddled on the floor. "Keep me and the officer as your primary bargaining chips."Elena, who had been silently observing, spoke up. "Are you insane? We can't-"Miles cut her off with a sharp look. "Trust me, Officer. This is our best play."The leader laughed bitterly. "And why would we do that? These hostages are our insurance."Miles leaned in, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Because I'm worth more than all of them combined. I'm the son of a major political leader in the capital."Elena's eyes widened in shock. "What? But that's not-""Not public knowledge, I know," Miles interrupted smoothly. "But it's true. And it makes me a very valuable hostage."The robbers exchanged glances, uncertainty creeping into their body language.

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
