THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 55
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 paced the length of his office, his mind a whirlwind of strategies and worst-case scenarios. The events of the past weeks had been escalating like a storm he could no longer ignore. Brandon and Garth were moving their pawns into position, but James wasn’t just a piece on their chessboard. He was the player—and it was time to make his move.Victor’s voice echoed through the speakerphone. “James, the intel checks out. Garth’s men are positioned near the old warehouse on Millington Street. They’re using it as a hub for tonight’s operation.”“Do we know their target yet?” James asked, his tone razor-sharp.Victor hesitated. “Not precisely, but with the number of people they’re mobilizing, it’s not small. We need to act fast.”James clenched his fists. He had been waiting for this moment, a chance to intercept and dismantle Brandon and Garth’s operation before it spiraled any further. But this wasn’t just about strategy—it was personal. They’d targeted his family, and James wasn’t go

The atmosphere in the Maple Group boardroom was tense. James sat at the head of the table, his piercing gaze scanning the faces of his senior team. News of the latest smear campaign orchestrated by Garth had sent ripples through the company. Key investors were pulling back, and the international expansion James had worked so hard to secure was on the brink of collapse.“We can’t ignore this any longer,” Victor said, his voice edged with urgency. “The investors are demanding answers. If we don’t act fast, the deal will fall apart.”James leaned back in his chair, his expression calm but resolute. “We’re not going to let them win,” he said. “Schedule a meeting with all stakeholders. I want every piece of evidence we have on Garth’s activities ready for presentation. If they think they can scare us into submission, they’re about to learn otherwise.”Victor nodded, his confidence in James unwavering. “Understood. But what about the personal threats against Mrs. Reid?”James’s jaw tightene

The fallout from the revelations about Garth hit fast and hard. News outlets buzzed with the details of his illegal dealings, and public opinion had turned overwhelmingly against him. But Garth wasn’t a man to back down easily.Garth’s CounterattackIn his secluded office, Garth paced back and forth, his phone pressed to his ear.“You told me this would work!” he snarled at his lawyer. “Now I’m being painted as a criminal, and my investors are pulling out.”“There’s still a way to fight this,” the lawyer replied, though his tone lacked conviction. “We could argue that the evidence was obtained illegally—question its authenticity.”Garth’s jaw clenched. “I don’t care how you do it. Discredit James Reid and destroy Maple Group’s reputation. Do it now.”Ending the call, he poured himself a drink, his mind racing. If he couldn’t ruin James’s business, he’d take a more personal route. He made another call, his voice low and threatening. “Find out where his wife and daughter are. Let’s make

James stood at the balcony of the Maple Group headquarters, his expression stoic as he surveyed the skyline. He was ready for tonight—a night that would either mark the end of his struggle or the beginning of a new era.Brandon and Garth had gone too far this time. Their attacks had turned personal, targeting Pamela directly and threatening her safety. James’s fury burned like wildfire, but he knew that emotion alone wouldn’t win this war. It would take precision, strategy, and an unrelenting will to protect his wife and his empire.Across town, Brandon sat in a dimly lit room with Garth, surrounded by their loyalists. The air was thick with tension. Their latest move—a leaked video implicating James in a fabricated bribery scandal—had already begun circulating online, threatening to unravel his carefully constructed reputation.“What about the plan to corner Pamela?” Brandon asked, his voice low but menacing.“It’s in motion,” Garth replied, smirking. “She won’t know what hit her.”N

James leaned back in his chair, the dark circles under his eyes betraying the exhaustion he refused to acknowledge. His laptop screen glowed in the dimly lit room, spreadsheets and reports filling the space with silent urgency. Pamela stood in the doorway, watching him with a mixture of admiration and guilt.She’d always thought of James as aloof, a man more married to his ambitions than to her. But tonight, as she watched him work tirelessly for their future, a crack formed in her perception of him.“You should rest,” she said softly, stepping into the room.James looked up, startled. For a moment, his guarded expression faltered, and she saw vulnerability flicker in his eyes.“I can’t,” he admitted, rubbing his temples. “Brandon and Garth aren’t giving me a choice. They’ve hit our shipping routes, and now they’re targeting my suppliers. If I don’t act quickly, Maple Group could face irreversible losses.”Pamela hesitated, then walked closer. “You’ve been doing this alone for so long

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

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
