THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 24
Pamela sat in the living room, the dim evening light casting shadows on the walls. Helen’s voice echoed in her head, her mother’s sharp words from their recent phone call ringing louder than Pamela wanted to admit. “James isn’t fit for this family,” Helen had said, her tone clipped. “He’s weak, and if you can’t see that, then you’re blind. Brandon Holt has been our ally for years, and your husband is nothing more than a liability.” Pamela had stayed quiet during the call, as she often did when Helen went on one of her tirades. But something about this time felt… off. Helen’s venom seemed almost desperate, as if she knew something Pamela didn’t. She glanced at James, who sat at the dining table with his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration. He had been unusually focused lately, leaving early in the mornings and returning late, often with a quiet intensity that Pamela couldn’t place. “James,” she said, breaking the silence. He looked up, his gaze steady but questioning. “Yes?”

Pamela woke with a sense of clarity that had eluded her for years. Something about the way James had looked at her the previous night lingered in her mind—a mixture of quiet gratitude and steadfast strength. It was disarming, unfamiliar, and strangely comforting.As she descended the stairs, she found James already dressed, his tie neatly in place and his briefcase resting by the door. He was speaking on the phone, his voice low but firm, as he paced the foyer.“Yes, I’ve seen the reports. Make sure it’s handled discreetly. No loose ends,” he said before noticing Pamela. He ended the call quickly and smiled. “Good morning.”“Good morning,” she replied, tilting her head. “Another busy day?”James nodded. “It seems there’s always something that needs my attention.”Pamela hesitated, then asked, “And will you ever tell me what that something is?”James’s expression softened. “When the time is right.”She didn’t press further. Instead, she watched him leave, the quiet authority in his str

Later that evening, Pamela received an unexpected video call from her parents, Helen and George Shaw. It was rare for both of them to call her together, especially now that Helen was in prison. Pamela hesitated, her finger hovering over the accept button, before finally swiping to answer.Her mother’s sharp features filled the screen, her eyes as piercing as ever, even from behind the sterile background of the prison. George sat beside her, his expression stern and unyielding.“Pamela,” Helen began, her tone clipped. “We need to talk about James.”Pamela’s chest tightened. She had a sinking feeling about where this conversation was headed. “What about him?”George leaned forward, his voice grave. “We’ve been hearing things, Pamela. Things that concern us. James is poking his nose into matters that don’t concern him, and it’s putting our family’s reputation at risk.”“What are you talking about?” Pamela asked, though her voice faltered slightly.Helen’s lips thinned. “Don’t play naive,

The news broke early in the morning: Helen Shaw was being released from prison. Pamela read the notification twice, her heart pounding in her chest.“Early release?” she muttered to herself, confusion and unease threading through her voice. Her mother had shown no signs of remorse during their calls, so why now?James entered the kitchen, freshly showered and already dressed for the day. He caught sight of Pamela’s tense expression and paused. “What’s wrong?”She turned the phone screen toward him. “It’s my mother. She’s being released today.”James’s brow furrowed, though he didn’t seem surprised. “I heard rumors that this might happen. Brandon must have pulled some strings.”Pamela’s throat tightened. “Why would he do that? What does he gain by helping her?”James took a seat across from her, his gaze steady. “Brandon isn’t the kind of man who does anything for free. If he’s involved, it’s because he sees Helen as a tool a way to destabilize us.”Pamela frowned. “You think she’ll tu

The Maple Group headquarters was shrouded in an unusual quiet, as though the building itself understood the gravity of the battle being waged within its walls. James stood in his private office, staring out at the city skyline. In his hands, he held a file that could either topple Brandon Holt’s empire or plunge Maple Group deeper into chaos.The stakes had never been higher, but James’s resolve was unshakable. He turned to Mr. Carter, his lead investigator, who was waiting beside the desk.“This is everything?” James asked, his tone calm but firm.“Yes, sir,” Carter replied. “We’ve traced the shell companies, linked the accounts, and corroborated the testimonies. Brandon Holt’s entire operation is a house of cards.”James nodded, flipping through the pages one last time. Fraudulent contracts, offshore accounts, bribery trails—it was all here, meticulously documented.“It’s time to move,” James said.The Strategy SessionThe boardroom was filled with Maple Group’s top legal and public
THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 29
The first rays of dawn illuminated the Maple Group headquarters as James arrived earlier than usual. In his hands was the report that would tie every loose thread in Brandon Holt’s corruption. Today was the day the world would know the truth.James sat in his office, reviewing the sequence of actions planned for the day. His phone buzzed—Mr. Carter was on the line.“James, the regulators have officially opened an inquiry into Holt Enterprises,” Carter reported. “Our evidence submission was deemed credible and comprehensive. Brandon’s company is now under direct scrutiny.”James smiled faintly, his mind racing through the implications. “Good work. What’s next on the agenda?”“We have a press briefing scheduled for noon. It’ll be your chance to address the allegations and reaffirm Maple Group’s stance,” Carter replied.James’s expression hardened. “No mistakes, Carter. Today, we set the record straight.”In the following hours, Maple Group’s legal team moved swiftly. A lawsuit was filed

The sun was just beginning to climb the sky when James Carter walked into his office at Maple Group. He barely had time to sit when Andrew, his operations head, entered with a look of unease.“We’ve got a problem, sir,” Andrew began, handing over a tablet. “Three suppliers have pulled out, citing… unusual circumstances.”James scrolled through the emails, his frown deepening. Each supplier had provided a different excuse: equipment failure, unexpected audits, logistical nightmares. But they all shared one detail—each backed out within hours of each other.“This isn’t a coincidence,” James muttered.Andrew nodded. “It gets worse. Two of our shipments are delayed indefinitely, and one of our warehouses reported a sudden shortage of key materials. It’s like someone flipped a switch.”James’s mind raced. “Find out everything. I want names, contracts, any unusual activity.”As Andrew rushed out, James leaned back, staring at the ceiling. Maple Group’s supply chain was its lifeline. If this

The meeting room at Maple Group’s headquarters buzzed with tension as James walked in. His usual calm demeanor was present, but his sharp eyes carried a warning: things were about to get serious. The board members, department heads, and his closest aides all knew this wasn’t just another crisis.“Reports indicate that our suppliers in the North and East regions have ceased operations,” James began, his voice steady but firm. “This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a calculated attack.”Pamela sat quietly at the far end of the table, observing her husband. Over the last few weeks, she’d seen a side of James that was more than just the quiet, unassuming man she married. Here, he was commanding and decisive a leader holding together an empire under siege.“Garth Thompson,” James continued, tapping the screen on the conference table to display a dossier. “Former COO of Meridian Ventures. He was ousted a year ago after embezzlement charges, but they were never proven. Now, he’s working with Brando

The Maple Group boardroom buzzed with anticipation. James stood at the head of the table, a series of documents and digital files projected on the large screen behind him. Pamela sat to the side, her gaze steady on her husband. She had come to admire his meticulous planning and unyielding determination.“This,” James began, pointing to a highlighted section of a document, “is the beginning of the end for Brandon Holt.”The room quieted, the gravity of his statement settling over the board members. James had spent months collecting evidence of Brandon’s illicit activities: embezzlement, fraudulent contracts, bribery, and even involvement in a smuggling ring. The sheer weight of the proof was staggering.“Today, we release the first wave,” James said.With a nod to Victor, his trusted advisor, James watched as the files were uploaded onto various secure platforms, simultaneously reaching key media outlets, government agencies, and business networks.The response was immediate. Within ho

The tension in the air was suffocating. Pamela sat in her living room, her heart pounding as she stared at the extra security team James had stationed around their home. Emily sat beside her, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing outside.James had left early that morning, his face grim but determined. Pamela could still hear his parting words echoing in her mind.“Stay inside. Don’t go anywhere unless I call you. Trust me, Pamela. I’ll handle this.”But she couldn’t shake the feeling that things were spiraling out of control. Brandon’s desperation made him unpredictable, and the idea of him targeting her or Emily filled her with dread.As the hours dragged on, Pamela tried to distract herself, but her mind kept wandering to James. How much longer could he carry this burden? How far would Brandon go to take him down?Meanwhile, at Holt Industries, chaos reigned. Brandon paced his office, his phone pressed to his ear as he shouted into the receiver.“You said you had a plan! Where ar

James leaned back in his office chair, his gaze fixed on the glowing monitor before him. The file Victor had delivered earlier contained irrefutable evidence proof of Brandon’s direct involvement in money laundering, tax evasion, and even bribery of government officials. It was the final nail in the coffin, a comprehensive report that would destroy Brandon’s already crumbling alliances.Pamela entered the room quietly, setting a cup of coffee on his desk. “You’ve been in here all night,” she said softly.James looked up, exhaustion evident in his eyes. “It’s almost over,” he said, his voice steady. “By tomorrow, Brandon’s empire will be nothing but a memory.”Pamela sat beside him, watching as he meticulously prepared the next move. “How do you feel about it?” she asked after a pause.James hesitated, then admitted, “Relieved. But it’s not just about me anymore. It’s about protecting everything we’ve built everything we stand for.”The next day, James released the evidence strategical

Brandon Holt sat in the dimly lit confines of his office, the flicker of city lights casting long shadows across the room. The once-booming headquarters of Holt Enterprises had grown eerily silent, its staff reduced to whispers of discontent. He leaned forward in his chair, glaring at the screen of his tablet. The latest news headline burned into his vision: “Insider Trading Allegations Rock Holt Enterprises – Brandon Holt Under Fire.” Brandon’s knuckles whitened as he gripped the edge of his desk. His phone vibrated with incoming calls—shareholders, journalists, even former allies—but he ignored them all. His empire was crumbling, and he was running out of time. “Get me Derrick Lane,” Brandon barked into his intercom. “Mr. Lane resigned this morning,” his assistant replied, her voice trembling. “What?” Brandon stood abruptly, the chair scraping against the hardwood floor. “Why wasn’t I told?” “I… I sent you the memo, sir,” she stammered. Brandon froze, realization dawn

James sat in his private office, the room dimly lit except for the soft glow of his computer screen. In front of him lay a folder Victor had delivered earlier that day. Inside was the key to Brandon’s downfall: irrefutable evidence of his involvement in fraud, bribery, and embezzlement.Victor leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “This is enough to bury him, James. But it’s not just about exposing him—it’s about how you play this. We need to dismantle his network piece by piece.”James nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities. “Brandon built his empire on alliances and fear. If we expose him strategically, his own people will turn on him.”Over the next few days, James and Victor crafted their plan. Each piece of evidence was tied to one of Brandon’s key allies—business partners, government officials, and financial backers. The goal was simple: make them realize Brandon was no longer an asset but a liability.The first blow came through an anonymous leak to a prominent fin
Chapter 65
James leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the city skyline through the wide windows of his office. The last few weeks had been relentless—every piece of Brandon Holt’s empire was crumbling, and James had made sure of it. Yet, he knew the battle wasn’t over. Garth, Brandon’s ruthless ally, was still operating in the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike.Pamela walked into the room, holding a cup of coffee for him. She placed it on the desk and hesitated for a moment. James glanced up, his expression softening when he saw her.“Still working?” she asked quietly, her tone carrying a mix of concern and admiration.“There’s just one last thing to handle,” James replied, leaning forward. “Brandon’s done for, but Garth… he’s a different kind of problem. I have to finish this.”Pamela nodded, taking the seat across from him. “Whatever it takes, James. I trust you.”Her words struck him. It wasn’t long ago that Pamela doubted his capabilities, pressured by her family’s constant cr
Chapter 64
James stood on the balcony of his office, his sharp gaze fixed on the city skyline. The weight of the past few weeks had been immense, but the resolve in his heart was unshakable. His plan to dismantle Brandon’s crumbling empire was in full swing, but his thoughts were elsewhere—on Pamela.In their home, Pamela sat in her study, replaying the moments of James’s recent sacrifices in her mind. Despite Helen’s constant urging to leave him, Pamela couldn’t ignore the truth. James was no longer the man she had once doubted. He had become a fortress, standing strong against every storm.The MeetingLater that evening, James and Pamela found themselves in the living room, the air between them charged with unspoken emotions.“James,” Pamela began, her voice soft but firm, “I’ve been thinking… about everything.”James turned to her, his usual calm replaced with a flicker of vulnerability. “What is it, Pamela?”“I see it now,” she said, taking a step closer. “The sacrifices you’ve made, the bat

Pamela stood at the edge of the grand living room, her arms crossed as she observed James. He was seated at the far end, surrounded by stacks of documents and his trusted confidants, Victor and a few senior executives from Maple Group. The tension in the air was almost palpable.For weeks, she had seen James tirelessly working to shield his company and their lives from Brandon and Garth’s relentless attacks. Despite her mother’s constant urgings to leave him, Pamela had decided to stay. Watching James endure sleepless nights and unrelenting pressure had awakened a new understanding within her—a deep admiration for his strength, resilience, and unwavering determination.Pamela took a deep breath and walked into the room. The quiet murmurs of the men fell silent as all eyes turned to her. James looked up, his gaze meeting hers.“Can we talk?” she asked, her voice soft but firm.James glanced at Victor, who gave a knowing nod and led the others out of the room. As the door clicked shut,

Pamela sat with her phone pressed to her ear, her heart racing as the line connected. "Melanie," she said when a familiar voice answered. "I need a favor." Melanie's laughter crackled on the other end. "Pamela Shaw? It's been years! What kind of favor are we talking about?" "Something serious," Pamela said, her voice steady despite the weight of her words. "I need information. There's a man named Garth working with Brandon Holt-they're targeting my husband and his company. I know you still have contacts in the media and corporate circles. Can you help me dig up something on them?" There was a pause, followed by a sharp intake of breath. "Pamela, this sounds dangerous. Are you sure you want to get involved?" "I don't have a choice," Pamela replied. "They're coming after my family. If you can find anything-anything at all-I'll owe you." "Alright," Melanie said after a moment. "I'll see what I can do. Give me a day or two." As Pamela hung up, her determination solidified. For the f
