The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 197: Innocent Until Proven Guilty
“CAN YOU tell me how your day went from one o’clock onwards today?” Brenda asked, holding the document in her left hand, and a pen in her right hand. “If possible, tell me everything in detail.”“Alright.” Damian nodded as he remembered what happened earlier. “It was Dollie’s high school graduation today at the Medivien University, and I’m also invited to go there. I was busy preparing to go there.”Brenda’s brows furrowed, not satisfied with Damian’s answer. “Why would you need to prepare early? And what did you do in the morning?”“I would like to talk to Dollie for a bit before the graduation ceremony starts, and I heard that Anya Montgomery was there, too. Everyone in the Medivien University knows that I won a date auction for her on the foundation day,” Damian said, and as he promised, he never left any details. “In the afternoon, I bought a flower bouquet and a pair of her favorite shoes, and I left them at the school.”Damian’s voice almost cracked upon saying the last sentence
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 198: I Will Kill You
“ON TOP of it, the police suspect that you are intoxicated with drugs,” Brenda said, her tone dark and intimidating.Damian’s jaw almost fell on the floor upon hearing those words. “What? Drugs?”“Drugs are one of the possible reasons why you lay unconscious on the ground until the police arrived,” explained Brenda. “It may also be the reason for some of your hallucinations, too. You told us that you were the one who called the police, but you didn’t. You have an altered sense of reality.”“No…” Damian’s brows furrowed as he shook his head. “The true killer injected it into me. He said that it could be a poison depending on the amount of liquid injected into a person’s body. It was enough to knock me off.”‘And to lose some of my memories,’ added Damian at the back of his mind, remembering the killer’s words. ‘The killer said that I won’t be able to remember some parts of what happened, but that wasn’t the case. I remember everything.’“There is no such kind of drug, Mr. Smith, which

AS FAST as the wind, Carson immediately went to Damian, who was currently holding Ava. He pushed Damian away, and Ava almost lost balance because of that.“Hey, can’t you be more careful?!” Ava exclaimed, giving Carson a deadly glare, but she grimaced again upon feeling the excruciating pain in her stomach. “B-Bring me to the hospital, please!”It was Ethan who was knocked out of his senses first. As he realized the situation, he immediately called their driver and carried Ava in her arms. He looked at Carson, but it seemed like he was more determined to beat Damian to death than to accompany Ava to the hospital.“Fucking crap,” Ethan muttered, finding the scene ridiculous as his grip on Ava tightened. He looked at his parents and said, “I can manage this. Someone needs to be here just in case the police ask some questions about Dollie.”“Alright. I will stay here,” Cielo said.“I will come with you,” Helena spoke, her voice laced with worry. “How hectic this day is!” she even added a
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 200: Public Opinion
WITH THAT, Brenda already knew what to do.She stood up and walked toward the door, ready to give Cielo and Damian privacy. However, before she entirely left the room, Brenda turned around and reminded, “You can only talk to him for a few minutes, Sir, since others might think differently when they see you talking alone in a room.”Cielo nodded. “I understand.”Upon hearing that, Brenda left the room. Damian, on the other hand, looked at Cielo and asked, “I wonder what you need from me and why you need to ask this in private.”“I know we weren’t on good terms, but when it comes to Dollie, I know that you won’t kill her. You never even lay a finger on her,” said Cielo in a low tone, his fingers caressing his chin. “So, tell me. If it wasn’t you who killed Dollie, then who?”Damian’s heart was suddenly filled with hope when he heard Cielo’s question. So, he told Cielo what happened from the moment he had a conversation with Dollie on the phone, up to the time when Dollie called her beca
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 201: Safety At Stake
AFTER THE interrogation, Brenda recorded Damian’s information and fingerprint. Brenda also scheduled a drug test for him and a questioning to conduct further investigation. Since Damian was arrested without a warrant for a murder case, he needed to be detained at the police station for a certain period, at least while the investigation was ongoing. The court trial would also begin soon since the Medivien family officially filed a case against him.“Call us if you need something,” said the prison guard as he locked the cell door, where Damian was currently staying. “But it will be better if you won’t disturb me. A killer like you shouldn’t even be treated properly like this.”Damian sighed as he was trying to maintain composure, yet he failed. His blood pressure increases as he is enraged, seeing that he is the one being imprisoned instead of the true killer.‘The killer had a good strategy. In just a snap, he was able to frame me up like this and made every plan accurate so I won’t h

“I WILL take you out of here,” said Veron in a firm tone. “I don’t care what the judge’s conviction would be. If they will sentence you for murder, then I will bring you to a different country so you can hide.”“Without even clearing my name?” Damian asked, his brows furrowing. “But why?”“Because at this point, staying here means death, and I only found you recently,” explained Veron, his tone dark this time. “I wasn’t even able to save your mother before, and I won’t let the same mistake happen twice.”Damian saw how dark Veron’s gaze was, so he wasn’t able to answer immediately. Veron, on the other hand, also saw Damian’s hesitation in his command. However, Veron’s decision will not change.“I will protect you with all my might, so you are going to stay in a different country until I solve everything,” said Veron in an authoritative tone.Yet he was astounded at Damian’s answer to him. “Father, but you taught me to be strong, face all the problems head-on, and not be a coward, did

ALL OF a sudden, Veron stood up and gave Damian a warm hug. “For now, this may be the last time I will see you this close. But like how I didn’t give up on finding you when I lost you, I will not also give up on taking you out of here either,” said Veron.Damian smiled, feeling reassured by Veron’s statement. They were enjoying their little time of being with each other, but a few seconds later, they heard the doorknob clacking. It was the prison guard, who was opening the door using the master key now.“He will be able to go inside in a few seconds,” Veron said, and although he wanted to hug Damian more, he needed to let him go for now. “Be careful, son,” was the last thing he said before the lights turned off.Damian was shocked, not expecting that to happen. The surroundings became dark again, and there was suddenly a creeping fear inside his body. He wasn’t used to darkness, no matter how brave he might be.As expected, the prison guard went inside, and he was the one who opened
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 204: Go With The Flow
THE NEXT morning, Damian was scheduled for the drug test and another investigation. Damian noticed that the officers who were in charge of monitoring were harsher at him as he went to the hospital laboratory, something that made his eyebrows furrowed.‘Is this commanded by the killer to make me lose my morale?’ Damian thought, and his lips curved into a smirk with that realization. ‘How naive.’Damian obliged Brenda’s commands. A nurse took his blood and placed it in a blood sample container. Everything was fine as the process was silent and peaceful. However, he suddenly heard buzzes outside the laboratory room.He went outside and saw that everyone was watching on the television hanging on the wall. Filled with curiosity, Damian went to the television in the other room as well to see what was happening.However, his jaw fell in shock upon seeing Veron on the television screen.“Breaking news! Live at the Ferremento Corporation, Veron Ferremento answers questions about Damian’s invol

Epilogue: The Last Retaliation
THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

Chapter 336: Let's End This Now
THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

Chapter 335: Everything Will Be Alright
“That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

“That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

Chapter 333: History Repeats Itself
After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

Chapter 332: Taking Off The Facade
Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

Chapter 331: Second Plan
“Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

Chapter 330: The New CEO
“Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
