THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 48
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 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

James stood in his office, his fingers drumming lightly on the polished surface of his desk. The weight of everything that had transpired in the last few weeks pressed on him, but he couldn’t afford to falter now. Garth was finished, his influence shattered, but Brandon still had one more move left.Victor entered the office, his expression unreadable as he set a file down in front of James.“It’s just as we suspected,” Victor said. “Brandon had a contingency plan. Even with Garth out of the picture, he’s been working behind the scenes to rebuild his influence. And now…” He exhaled sharply. “He’s gone international.”James’s jaw clenched. He had anticipated Brandon wouldn’t go down easily, but to think he was expanding his reach beyond their immediate battlefield—it was a move that could prolong their war.“What’s his angle?” James asked, flipping open the file.Victor leaned against the desk. “He’s securing investments from foreign backers, people who don’t care about his past failur
Chapter 76
The media erupted with praise for James, hailing him as a mastermind who had dismantled one of the most corrupt business empires in the country. Headlines praised his strategic brilliance, and social media buzzed with admiration for how he had exposed Brandon Holt’s criminal activities.Pamela watched the news unfold from their living room, her gaze flickering between the television screen and James, who sat across from her, calmly scrolling through his phone. He looked unbothered by the storm he had created, as if this was just another day for him.“You don’t seem surprised by any of this,” she remarked, tilting her head.James smirked, setting his phone down. “I expected it. Brandon dug his own grave the moment he underestimated me.”Pamela studied him for a moment. The man she had once thought of as a pushover had become an unstoppable force. And yet, even with all the power and recognition he now held, he still carried himself with the same quiet confidence.“Are you happy?” she a

James stood at the center of the chaos, his sharp eyes scanning the aftermath of Garth’s downfall. The entire city had witnessed the exposure of Garth’s criminal dealings money laundering, illegal contracts, and bribery schemes, all meticulously revealed through James’s strategic moves. Garth had fallen from grace, his empire collapsing overnight.Pamela clutched James’s hand, her fingers trembling. The memories of her abduction were still fresh, the fear lingering in her eyes, but she had never felt safer than she did now, standing beside him. “You really planned everything, didn’t you?” she whispered, admiration creeping into her tone.James’s lips curled into a small, knowing smirk. “I told you, Pamela. I protect what’s mine.”The press had been relentless in their coverage of Garth’s fall, and with Victor’s influence, the authorities had moved swiftly. By now, Garth was facing multiple charges, his allies abandoning him one by one. He was done. But James knew better than to celebr

James crouched behind the SUV, his sharp eyes scanning the armed men who had just arrived. The air was thick with tension, the sound of boots crunching against gravel as Brandon’s men fanned out, surrounding the area. Their guns were drawn, but James remained still, calculating.Victor had already driven off with Pamela, taking the back road out of the farmhouse. That was the only thing James needed to be sure of her safety. Now, all that was left was dealing with the men in front of him.A familiar voice cut through the night.“James.”James turned his head slightly, spotting a man stepping forward from the group. He was tall, well-dressed despite the dirt road, and carried himself with the confidence of someone who believed he was untouchable.It was Carter Langley, one of Brandon’s top enforcers.“You should’ve stayed out of this,” Carter said, shaking his head. “You just don’t know when to quit.”James smirked. “And you don’t know when you’re being used as cannon fodder.”Carter’s

The night air was crisp as James led Pamela out of the farmhouse, his grip on her hand firm but gentle. The weight of the moment still pressed down on him, but the immediate danger had passed. Garth was subdued, tied up under Victor’s watchful eye, and backup was on its way. Yet James knew better than to relax.This wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.Pamela was quiet as they walked toward the waiting SUV, her hand still in his. James glanced down at her, his sharp eyes scanning for any signs of injury. She had been through hell, and yet, she was holding herself together. That strength of hers—it was something he admired more than she would ever know.“You’re safe now,” James murmured, his voice rough with emotion.Pamela exhaled slowly, then looked up at him. “I knew you’d come,” she whispered.A ghost of a smile flickered across James’s lips. “You’re stuck with me, remember?”Despite the adrenaline still pumping through her veins, Pamela let out a small, breathy laugh. But before eithe

The farmhouse loomed in front of them like a fortress, isolated from the world by its distance from civilization. James’s instincts screamed that they were walking into a trap, but he couldn’t afford hesitation. Pamela was inside, and every second counted.Victor motioned for silence as they crouched behind a thick hedge, just outside the line of sight of the farmhouse’s lone guard. The men on the inside wouldn’t be expecting them yet. The element of surprise was their best weapon.“We’ll split into two teams,” Victor whispered, his voice low but firm. “I’ll take the back. You go in through the front.”James glanced over at Victor, his face set in determination. “No, we go together. We clear every room. We’re not taking any chances.”Victor didn’t argue. He knew James wasn’t going to let anything stand in his way, not with Pamela’s life hanging in the balance.James adjusted the gun holstered at his side, then checked the tactical earpiece in his ear. It was connected to the team they
Chapter 71
Garth, desperate and cornered by the mounting pressure from both James and his dwindling resources, decides to take drastic action. In the dead of night, he orchestrates a daring plan to kidnap Pamela. He believes that by taking her, he can force James to make a devastating choice, either give up his empire or watch his wife suffer.Pamela is taken from their home by a group of Garth’s hired men. James, who is out on business, arrives to find her missing, with a chilling note left behind demanding James’s compliance. The note threatens Pamela’s life if James doesn’t meet Garth’s terms.James immediately contacts Victor for help. The two begin working together, leveraging their combined resources and connections to trace Pamela’s whereabouts.The morning sun cast a soft glow over the Maple estate, but inside, all was far from peaceful. James had just finished a high-level meeting with his board when his phone buzzed incessantly on the desk. His eyes scanned the room for Victor, who was
Chapter 70
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
