THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 49
James sat in the lavish office of the influential investor, Mr. Hargrove, whose reputation for uncovering family secrets and safeguarding legacies preceded him. The air felt charged with unspoken revelations as Hargrove slid a thick file across the mahogany table.“This,” Hargrove began, his voice steady and measured, “is the key to unlocking a portion of your father’s empire that even you haven’t touched yet.”James’s fingers hovered over the file, hesitation flickering in his eyes. “What do you mean? I thought I had uncovered everything there was to know about my father’s businesses.”Hargrove leaned back in his chair, his expression shrewd. “Your father was a visionary, James. He knew the risks of consolidating all his wealth in one place. So, he diversified — but he didn’t just invest in businesses or real estate. He built a shadow network, a conglomerate of hidden assets that only someone with his exacting foresight could manage. And now, that legacy falls to you.”James opened t

James leaned back in the plush leather chair of the private study, his gaze fixed on the enigmatic investor sitting across from him. The man, an impeccably dressed financier named Dominic Langston, radiated an air of quiet authority. His calm demeanor, however, belied the magnitude of the information he had just shared.“Your father’s empire was far more extensive than you’ve been led to believe,” Dominic began, his voice steady. “What you’ve inherited is only a fragment of what he built.”James’s mind reeled. For years, he’d believed his father’s fortune was confined to the holdings under Maple Group. Now, Dominic was introducing a narrative that challenged everything he thought he knew.“What exactly are you saying?” James asked, his tone measured but sharp.Dominic reached for a slim black folder and slid it across the table. “These are documents proving the existence of additional assets your father hid away. Properties, offshore accounts, and business shares spread across Europe

The air in James’s office was heavy, a suffocating weight that even the sleek décor and expansive city views couldn’t alleviate. He sat at his desk, staring at the document Victor had handed him. Every word on the page confirmed his worst fear: someone close to him had betrayed him.“You’re sure about this?” James asked, his voice steady but cold.Victor nodded, his expression grave. “The accounts linked to your father’s hidden assets have been accessed without authorization. The withdrawal pattern was methodical, precise. This isn’t an amateur’s work, James. Someone on the inside knew exactly where to strike.”James’s jaw tightened. Trust was the foundation of every decision he made. He had built Maple Group with a team he believed in—a team that was now unraveling.“How much have we lost?”“Seven million so far,” Victor replied. “But it’s not the amount that worries me. It’s the timing. Whoever did this waited until you started consolidating the new assets. They wanted to cripple us

James sat in his office, the weight of recent events hanging over him. The past months had been a whirlwind—Brandon’s downfall, Maple Group’s expansion, and the unrelenting tension with Helen and George. Yet, amidst the chaos, James felt a strange sense of clarity. He had come too far to let his efforts falter.Victor entered the office, his usual calm demeanor intact but with a hint of urgency in his eyes. “James, we’ve received another anonymous tip,” he said, handing over a folder.James flipped it open, scanning the documents. They outlined a suspicious pattern of financial activity linked to Garth’s company. Transactions disguised as investments were siphoning funds into offshore accounts.“This could be the leverage we need to end Garth’s attacks once and for all,” Victor said.James nodded, his mind already racing with strategies. “We’ll need to handle this delicately. If we expose him too early, he’ll cover his tracks. But if we wait too long…”Victor smirked. “That’s why you

The storm brewing around Maple Group was far from over. James had dealt with Alex, but the ripples of his betrayal spread quickly. Garth, emboldened by the chaos, launched a series of calculated strikes against Maple Group’s supply chain, testing the company’s defenses and James’s resolve.Victor stood in James’s office, a grim expression on his face. “Garth isn’t wasting any time,” he said. “He’s targeting our key suppliers in Asia and Europe. Several shipments have been delayed, and two suppliers are threatening to back out entirely.”James leaned against his desk, his mind racing. “What’s the financial impact so far?”“Minimal for now, but if we don’t address this quickly, it could spiral. Garth’s trying to create instability, to make us look unreliable to our partners.”James’s lips pressed into a thin line. “He wants to cripple our reputation before we fully secure the international expansions.”Victor nodded. “Exactly. And there’s more—our competitors are watching closely. If Ga

The tension in the air was palpable as James entered the grand conference room of Maple Group’s headquarters. His tailored suit fit like a second skin, his sharp gaze scanning the faces of the board members seated at the gleaming oak table. Every person in the room could feel the weight of what was about to happen, but no one dared to voice their thoughts.The reason for the emergency meeting was simple: someone had leaked sensitive financial data about Maple Group to Garth’s company. It was the kind of betrayal that could crumble empires, and James wasn’t about to let it slide.Pamela watched from the side of the room, her heart pounding. She had insisted on being there despite James’s initial protests. Over the past few months, she had seen him fight battles most wouldn’t survive, and while she still struggled with her feelings, her admiration for him grew stronger every day.James placed a folder on the table, its presence commanding the room’s attention. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he

James sat in his office, his gaze fixed on the city skyline. The day was far from over, but the tension in the air was palpable. Maple Group had just faced another attack—this time targeting its newly expanded international division.Victor stepped in, his usual composed demeanor masking the urgency of the situation. “Garth and his allies have struck again. They’ve managed to freeze shipments from our European suppliers. If we don’t act quickly, our international clients will lose confidence.”James nodded, his mind already racing with strategies. “Contact the legal team. I want every loophole they exploited to be examined. Also, initiate Plan B with the alternate suppliers we secured last month. This isn’t the first time Garth has tried to corner us, and it won’t be the last.”Victor gave a curt nod. “Understood. Anything else?”“Yes,” James replied, his voice firm. “Make sure the media knows we are still in control. Release a statement emphasizing our contingency plans. I won’t let

The morning sun filtered through the office blinds, but the light did little to brighten the tension in James’s office. Victor stood across from him, his face grim as he laid a file on the desk.“We’ve confirmed it,” Victor said, his voice steady. “Brandon and Garth are escalating their attacks. This time, they’re targeting Emily and Pamela.”James picked up the file, scanning through the photos and documents Victor had compiled. Grainy surveillance images showed unfamiliar men lingering near Emily’s law firm and others near the mansion.“They’re not being subtle,” Victor added. “It’s intimidation—making sure you know they’re watching.”James clenched his jaw, his mind racing. Brandon and Garth’s vendetta had crossed a line, moving from corporate warfare to personal threats. “Increase security at the mansion and Emily’s workplace. Double it, no—triple it. And I want background checks on every person who’s come near them in the last month.”“It’s already in motion,” Victor replied. “Bu

James set his phone down, his fingers tightening around the device. Liam Donovan wasn’t just another businessman—he was a predator, the kind who thrived on exploiting weaknesses. Gregory had been desperate enough to call in a man like that, and now, even behind bars, his reach still lingered.Pamela’s brows furrowed as she stepped closer. “What did he say?”James exhaled slowly, his gaze fixed on the city skyline beyond his office window. “He made an offer.”Victor scoffed. “Let me guess. ‘Why fight when we can strike a deal’?”James smirked. “Almost word for word.”Pamela’s stomach tightened. “And what does he want?”James turned to her, his expression unreadable. “Control.”Victor’s jaw clenched. “Then we have a problem.”James’s eyes darkened. “No. He has a problem.”The Trap is SetBy morning, James had already begun countermeasures. Liam operated in the shadows, but that didn’t mean James couldn’t bring him into the light.Victor stood at James’s desk, handing over a file. “We fo

The Last Loose EndDespite Gregory’s arrest, James couldn’t shake the feeling that something was unfinished. He sat in his office at Maple Group, fingers steepled as he studied the documents Victor had placed in front of him.“All of Gregory’s accounts have been frozen,” Victor reported. “The properties under his name are being seized. His investors have pulled out. On paper, he’s done.”James barely nodded. “And off paper?”Victor hesitated. “There’s one thing we haven’t accounted for—his offshore connections. Before his arrest, he made a large transfer to an unnamed entity. We don’t know where it went.”James’s jaw tightened. “Whoever received that money is still out there.”Victor sighed. “I’ve got people digging. But there’s something else you should see.”He pushed a file forward.James opened it. The first page was a printed email—one that had been sent from Gregory’s encrypted account just hours before his arrest.James’s eyes darkened as he read the message:“If you’re reading

A Race Against TimeJames’s car sped through the city streets, Victor’s voice sharp in his earpiece.“We have a location. Gregory’s men were spotted near the east industrial district. They’re moving in on something—or someone.”James’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “Pamela and Emily?”“They’re secure,” Victor assured him. “But this isn’t just a scare tactic, James. Gregory is making his final move.”James’s jaw clenched. “Then we make ours.”At the East Industrial DistrictThe air was thick with tension as Gregory’s men surrounded the abandoned warehouse. The target was inside—someone they had been paid to silence.Inside, a man sat in the shadows, his face pale with fear. He had once been one of Gregory’s closest business allies, but now, he was nothing more than a liability. He had agreed to testify against Gregory, and in return, Gregory had sent his men to eliminate him.A masked man stepped forward, gun in hand. “Mr. Shaw sends his regards.”The man squeezed his eyes shut

James’s grip on his phone tightened as he reread the threat. A slow, dangerous smirk curled at the corner of his lips, but Pamela knew better—it wasn’t amusement. It was fury.Gregory Shaw had just crossed a line he could never come back from.Pamela’s pulse quickened. “James, what do we do?”James exhaled slowly, his gaze like ice. “We make him regret ever sending this message.”He immediately called Victor.“We have a problem,” James said, his voice controlled but lethal. “Gregory just sent a threat. He’s desperate. That makes him reckless.”Victor cursed. “He wouldn’t dare—”“He would,” James cut in. “And I need every possible angle covered. Track his movements, monitor his calls. If he so much as breathes near Pamela or Emily, I want to know before he even makes a move.”Pamela straightened at the mention of her daughter. “James, do you think he’ll target Emily?”James met her gaze, his expression unreadable. “Gregory’s losing everything. He’ll go after what he thinks will hurt me

The tension in the room was thick as James turned the flash drive over in his hands. The weight of the evidence it contained was undeniable. This wasn’t just a business war anymore—this was a complete takedown.Pamela watched him carefully. “What’s the plan?”James glanced at Mr. Carter, his expression unreadable. “We verify everything first. If Gregory has ties to bribery and offshore fraud, we’re not just exposing a businessman—we’re dragging government officials into this.”Mr. Carter nodded. “I understand. But I promise you, everything on that drive is real.”James stood, his movements precise. “Then we’ll find out soon enough.” He turned to Pamela. “I need Victor on this. If there’s a single hole in this information, Gregory will exploit it.”Pamela nodded, already pulling out her phone. “I’ll have him start analyzing it immediately.”James looked back at Carter. “You know Gregory. The moment he suspects a threat, he eliminates it. Are you ready for what happens when this goes pu

Pamela’s pulse quickened as Gregory Shaw continued his speech, his tone dripping with confidence.“In times of uncertainty, leadership must be willing to adapt,” Gregory said smoothly. “That’s why I am extending an offer of strategic partnership to Maple Group—one that will ensure long-term stability and prosperity.”Pamela scoffed. “He’s making it sound like you need him.”James didn’t react, his gaze locked on the screen.Gregory’s smirk deepened. “It’s no secret that Maple Group has faced significant challenges in recent months. Market volatility, increased competition… But with the right allies, these obstacles become opportunities.” He paused, letting his words sink in before delivering his final blow. “That is why I am confident that James Walker will make the right choice for his company, his employees, and his future.”The press erupted into a flurry of questions, but Gregory simply nodded, his message clear: The ball was now in James’s court.Pamela clenched her fists. “He’s

The following morning, Pamela arrived at Maple Group’s headquarters earlier than expected. She had spent most of the night thinking about everything she had learned the day before, her mind spinning with strategies, risks, and possibilities.Now, as she stepped into the sleek lobby, she felt different—more determined, more confident.“Mrs. Walker,” the receptionist greeted her with a polite smile. “Mr. Walker mentioned you’d be coming in today.”Pamela nodded. “Is he in his office?”“Yes, but he’s in a meeting right now.”Pamela thanked her and headed to James’s office anyway, figuring she’d wait. But as she reached the door, she heard voices inside—one of them sharp, unfamiliar.“I don’t care what it takes, Walker. Our deal stands, or you’ll regret it.”Pamela froze. The tone was threatening, laced with arrogance.James’s response was calm, but firm. “You overestimate your leverage. If you think threats will change my stance, you’re mistaken.”A pause. Then the other man scoffed. “We

Pamela sat in James’s office, flipping through the reports with intense focus. Numbers, market trends, financial statements—it was a lot to take in, but she wasn’t about to back down. She had asked for this, and she intended to prove she could handle it.The door opened, and Victor strolled in without knocking. “Still here? Thought you’d run off after one meeting.”Pamela smirked without looking up. “Disappointed?”Victor chuckled, taking a seat across from her. “Actually, I’m impressed. James doesn’t let just anyone touch these reports.” He glanced at James, who was reviewing his own documents. “Guess that means you’re really serious about learning the ropes.”“I am.” Pamela tapped her pen against the page. “And since you’re here, maybe you can help me with something.”Victor raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What’s got you stumped?”She pointed to a section on international expansion. “I get the overall strategy, but what’s the real risk here? The numbers look good, but something feels off.”

The next morning, Pamela stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out the crisp blazer James had left for her. It wasn’t overly formal, but it was a step above her usual attire—something that fit the role she was stepping into today.Her reflection stared back at her, filled with both anticipation and nerves. Today, she would walk into Maple Group not as James’s wife, but as someone determined to understand his world.A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts. “Pamela?” James’s deep voice carried through the room.She turned, her lips curving into a small smile. “I’m ready.”James leaned against the doorframe, his gaze sweeping over her. “You look the part.”“Let’s see if I can act the part.”His smirk was both amused and approving. “You’ll do fine. Just pay attention and don’t let Victor intimidate you.”Pamela chuckled. “I think I can handle Victor.”James extended a hand, and she took it without hesitation. “Then let’s get to work.”—Stepping into Maple Group’s headquarters
