THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 44
Helen Shaw paced the living room, her hands clasped tightly, the tension radiating from her every movement. “We’ve been patient for too long, George. That man has walked all over us, made us dependent on him, and humiliated us at every turn. If Pamela won’t see reason, then we’ll have to act for her sake.”George Shaw, slouched in his favorite armchair with a drink in hand, looked weary. “And what exactly do you propose we do, Helen? He’s not just some small-town businessman. James has resources—more than we can imagine. We can’t take him down easily.”Helen shot him a sharp glare. “Are you really that spineless? Garth has been hounding us to find a weakness in James’s empire, and now we have an opportunity. We just need to give him the right ammunition. Maple Group has vulnerabilities—we just need to find them.”George sighed but nodded reluctantly. “Fine. I’ll reach out to a few of my old contacts, see if there’s any chatter about Maple Group’s internal dealings. But you… You’re clo

Helen and George Shaw sat at the dining table, tension heavy between them. George’s face was pale as he clutched his phone, the recent call from Garth still fresh in his mind.“He’s furious,” George muttered, his voice shaky. “That bad information cost him millions. If he drops us, we’re finished.”Helen rolled her eyes, pouring herself a glass of wine. “Don’t be so dramatic, George. We just need to dig deeper. James can’t be this invincible.”“And what if we get caught?” George shot back. “Do you think James doesn’t know what we’re up to? He’s not stupid, Helen.”Helen leaned forward, her eyes cold. “Then we don’t get caught. You need to grow a backbone. This isn’t just about us—it’s about protecting Pamela from that man. If we don’t act now, she’ll end up losing everything when James eventually falls.”Unbeknownst to them, Victor was watching from a car parked across the street, his camera trained on the house. Through the windows, he captured the argument, Helen’s animated gestures

The air in the Shaw household was heavy with unease. Helen and George sat in the living room, their earlier celebration overshadowed by a growing sense of dread. The fixer, Charles Tully, had gone silent, and no updates had come through. Helen tapped her fingernails against the armrest, her irritation barely concealed. “Where is he? He promised results by now.” George shifted uncomfortably. “Maybe we should lay low for a while, Helen. If James catches wind of this—” “He won’t,” Helen snapped, cutting him off. “Stop worrying. Charles knows what he’s doing. We’re close to finally getting rid of that man.” Just then, the front door opened. Helen and George turned, expecting Pamela, but their faces froze when James stepped inside instead. James closed the door behind him, his movements calm, deliberate. Dressed sharply in a tailored black suit, he exuded an aura of quiet authority that made the tension in the room palpable. “James,” Helen began, her tone tight. “What are you do

Chapter 47Helen Shaw’s heels clicked sharply against the marble floor of her living room, her expression tense as she scanned the documents spread across the coffee table. George Shaw sat across from her, his hands clutching a thick envelope containing copies of internal reports from Maple Group—reports that no one outside of James’s inner circle should have access to.“This is it,” Helen said, her voice low but brimming with confidence. “With these, we can deal him a blow he’ll never recover from.”George glanced uneasily at the papers. “Are you sure about this, Helen? If James finds out—”“He won’t find out,” she interrupted, narrowing her eyes. “Do you want Pamela to be stuck with a man like him forever? If we bring Maple Group to its knees, Pamela will finally see reason. She’ll leave him.”George hesitated, but Helen’s determination silenced his doubts. He knew better than to challenge her once she had her mind set on something.Helen continued, her voice growing colder. “We’ll

James sat in his office, the weight of recent battles etched into his posture. The Maple Group was thriving again, but James knew his journey was far from over. The past still held secrets, and his father’s legacy was an enigma he couldn’t ignore. Victor entered the room with a sharp knock. “James, there’s someone you need to meet. He claims to have known your father well. His name is Marcus Sterling.” The name didn’t ring a bell, but James nodded. “Send him in.” A few moments later, an older man, impeccably dressed, entered. His silver hair and sharp eyes spoke of wisdom and experience. “Mr. Sterling,” James began, standing to shake his hand. “Victor mentioned you knew my father.” “Indeed, I did. Your father and I were business partners—silent partners, you might say,” Marcus replied with a slight smirk. “He was a man of vision, much like yourself.” James gestured for him to sit. “Why are you here now?” “Because it’s time you learned the truth about the empire your fathe

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 SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 51
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

Chapter 90The day passed in a blur of warmth and laughter. James had never imagined that such simple moments making breakfast, playing games, listening to Emily’s endless stories—could bring him a sense of fulfillment that rivaled even his greatest business victories.After breakfast, they spent the morning in the backyard. Emily ran barefoot through the grass, her laughter echoing as James playfully chased her around. Pamela sat on the porch, watching them with a soft smile, her heart swelling at the sight of James her once distant husband fully present, fully engaged, and fully theirs.James finally scooped Emily up, spinning her around as she squealed with delight. “Alright, princess, I think it’s time for a break before I run out of energy.”Emily giggled. “But Daddy, you never run out of energy!”James chuckled, setting her down. “I wish that were true.” He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned toward Pamela. “What about you? Want to join in?”Pamela smirked, standing u

The golden morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the bedroom. James woke to the gentle weight of Pamela curled against his side, her head resting on his chest, her breathing slow and peaceful. He lay there for a moment, simply watching her, feeling the rise and fall of her breaths, the steady rhythm that had become his anchor in a world of chaos.For years, he had woken up with the burden of responsibilities pressing down on him. The first thoughts in his mind had always been about Maple Group, about strategies, about enemies lurking in the shadows. But today… today was different.His first thought was her.A soft knock at the door interrupted the quiet moment.“Daddy?” A small voice called from the hallway.James smiled, carefully untangling himself from Pamela without waking her. He crossed the room and opened the door, revealing Emily in her pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes.James crouched down to her level. “Good morning, princess.”Emily yawned,

The warm glow of the bedside lamp cast soft shadows across the room as James carefully laid Emily down on her bed. She stirred slightly, her tiny fingers curling into the blankets, but her breathing remained steady, deep in sleep. Pamela tucked the covers around her, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead before stepping back to stand beside James.For a long moment, they simply watched her—her peaceful expression, the slow rise and fall of her chest, the way her dark lashes rested against her cheeks. James could hardly believe how much she had grown. It felt like just yesterday she had fit in the crook of his arm, barely more than a fragile, helpless infant. Now, she was full of life, laughter, and dreams of her own.Pamela turned to James, her voice barely above a whisper. “She adores you, you know.”James glanced down at her, his features softening. “And I adore her.”Pamela smiled, looping her arm through his as they left the room, carefully closing the door behind them. The hallw

Chapter 87The evening breeze carried the soft scent of roses through the garden, and the sky above was painted in shades of violet and amber as the sun dipped below the horizon. James, Pamela, and Emily sat together on the stone bench, enjoying the quiet moments that had become rare in their once-chaotic lives.Emily swung her small legs back and forth, her hands resting in her lap as she glanced up at her parents with a thoughtful expression. “Daddy,” she said, tilting her head slightly, “what did you want to be when you were little?”James blinked, caught off guard by the question. Of all the things he had expected his daughter to ask, this was not one of them. He glanced at Pamela, who was smiling as she tucked a strand of hair behind Emily’s ear.“That’s an interesting question,” Pamela mused. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk about that before, James.”James leaned back slightly, his eyes drifting toward the horizon. He had spent most of his life chasing success, building
Chapter 86
The golden hues of the evening sun stretched across the sky, painting the world in warm amber tones. From the balcony of their estate, James stood in quiet contemplation, his sharp eyes watching the two most important people in his life. Below, in the vast garden filled with blooming roses and the scent of fresh earth, Pamela sat on a stone bench, her gentle hands combing through their daughter’s long, silky hair. Emily giggled, her voice carrying through the air like a soft melody, and James felt an unfamiliar sensation settle in his chest—one he hadn’t allowed himself to fully embrace in years.Peace.For so long, his life had been a battlefield, a never-ending war fought in boardrooms and behind closed doors. He had battled enemies who sought to bring him down, crushed those who had tried to manipulate him, and risen from the ashes stronger each time. But this… this quiet moment of love and warmth… this was what he had truly been fighting for.A knock at the door pulled him from hi

J ames stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of his study, gazing at the cityscape below. The sun was rising, casting a golden glow over the towering skyscrapers—a symbol of the empire he had built from the ground up. The war with Brandon and Garth was over. Maple Group stood stronger than ever, its reputation untarnished despite the countless attacks against it. Everything he had fought for was now secured.Yet, despite the victory, there was a weight in his chest that hadn’t fully lifted.He heard the door open behind him, followed by the soft padding of footsteps. He didn’t have to turn around to know it was Pamela.She came up beside him, slipping her arm around his. “Couldn’t sleep?” she asked softly.James exhaled. “Too much on my mind.”Pamela leaned against him, looking out at the city. “It’s really over, isn’t it?”He nodded. “Brandon’s empire is gone. Garth is finished. There’s no one left to challenge us.”Pamela smiled faintly. “That should make you happy.”James turned his

Helen and George sat stiffly in the grand living room of James’s estate. The opulence around them was undeniable—the gleaming marble floors, the grand chandelier casting a golden glow, and the sheer size of the space were a testament to James’s success. It was a success they had once mocked, dismissed, and even tried to sabotage. Now, they sat as guests, uncertain of their place in his world.James stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable. Pamela sat beside him, her posture tense but composed. She had insisted on being here, though she hadn’t spoken much since her parents arrived.Helen cleared her throat, forcing a warm, motherly smile. “James, we just wanted to see you. We—” She faltered, searching for words that wouldn’t sound as empty as they felt. “We were wrong about you. About… everything.”George nodded stiffly, though his pride made it hard for him to meet James’s eyes. “You’ve built something remarkable, son,” he admitted. “It’

The quiet clinking of fine china filled the private dining room as James stirred his tea. Across from him, Helen and George sat with forced smiles, their postures unnaturally stiff. The atmosphere was thick with an unspoken truth—this meeting wasn’t about family. It was about power, about wealth, and James knew it.Helen, dressed in a conservative navy-blue dress, cleared her throat. “James, we’ve had our differences, but we are family.” Her voice was smoother than usual, almost too carefully measured. “We regret how things have been. We only want to make amends.”James leaned back, his expression unreadable. “Amends?” He let the word hang between them. “You mean after years of doubting me, trying to push Pamela away, and siding with my enemies?” His tone was calm, but the weight behind his words was undeniable.George shifted in his seat. “Son, you know we were just looking out for Pamela’s best interests. We—”“Stop.” James’s voice was firm. He set his cup down, the porcelain tappin
Chapter 82
James barely reacted when Pamela told him about the dinner.Sitting across from her in their home, he simply leaned back, his expression unreadable. “So, they finally decided I’m worth their attention?”Pamela sighed. “It’s more than that. They’re trying to reconcile.”James scoffed. “Reconcile?” He set his glass down. “Let me guess—they realized I wasn’t the failure they thought I was, and now they want to be part of my success.”Pamela didn’t argue. She knew he was right.“James,” she said softly, reaching for his hand. “I’m not asking you to forgive them. But I need to know—how do you want to handle this?”James studied her, his gaze sharp. “I’ll handle it my way.”The car ride home was silent.Pamela sat beside James, staring out the window, lost in thought. The confrontation with her parents had drained her, leaving behind a dull ache in her chest.She had known this would happen. Had prepared for it. And yet, a small part of her had hoped—hoped that maybe, just maybe, her parent
