2024-10-29 19:42:56A FEW weeks later, it was already the recognition day, which was being held at the Medivien University’s function hall.
It was no ordinary event since some of the members of wealthy families were there to join, including representatives of the Montgomery family, the Hellion family, and even the Ferremento family. The visitors and reporters made a fuss upon their arrival.
“Luther Hellion is there! Take a picture! Quick!”
“Ava Medivien looked so elegant and classy, as always!”
“Let’s go! We need to take good pictures of them so we can add them to our articles!”
Meanwhile, Damian was just staring at them while sipping wine. ‘If only I knew that the event would not start

“Stop it!” Helena exclaimed, clenching her fists. “But why? You are the one who opened up the topic first, Ma’am Helena,” Damian answered, using honorifics on Helena in a sarcastic tone. “Don’t you want everyone to know why I created a ruckus at that engagement party before?”Helena stopped talking as she surveyed the surroundings. Almost everyone was looking at them, intrigued by Damian’s sentence. Her skin suddenly went pale, afraid that Damian might say something that could ruin the Medivien family’s reputation.There, she stopped bringing up the past anymore.“You should not start a fire if you can’t even handle it in the long run, Ma’am,” Damian reprimanded, his tone cold.Helena snorted, taking a glass of wine from the waiter who walked past them. “I still can't believe it. How did a man like you become popular with the press and the commoners like this? Is it because beggars with the same feather flock together?” she mocked him.However, Damian only shrugged, ignoring Helena’s

“And how did I humiliate you when in fact, I did the opposite?” Carter asked, his gaze unwavering. “Defending Damian means that we are good employers. Since he is our employee, whatever achievement he will have, we are already on behalf of it.”“Then, what happened earlier was only for show?” Carson asked, suppressing a smile, thinking that Carter was always on his side, and would only do things that benefit him.“No. I really defended him.”The irritation suddenly registered on Carson’s face. “But why? You know who he is.”“And that gave me more reason not to let those people ridicule him like that,” Carter answered as his gaze became colder. “If he is the missing heir, we should protect him as he’s a part of our family, although we can’t confirm it yet.”“Family?” Carson asked, his tone sarcastic. “I can’t defend someone who punched me, humiliated me, and continued to belittle me as he thought he was much better than me.” He clenched his fists. “I am the heir. No one can take it awa
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 102: The Awarding
TRUE TO the host’s words, the event officially began after a few minutes. After some programs, it was now the time to recognize the main sponsors for conducting such a prestigious event. The host is called Penelope, the representative of the Hellion family, and Cielo, the representative of the Medivien family.“Thank you to everyone who attended today. It is our honor to share this special event with all of you,” Cielo said, smiling pretentiously at the camera. “To all those who will receive awards today, I want to congratulate all of you and keep up the good work. Good people like you motivate everyone to do the same thing.”Cielo spoke more of his speech, which Damian would rather call an emotionless script, while all the people listened to him. Damian, on the other hand, became bored as he ate the snacks on the table.‘I wonder how people endure this kind of pretentiousness of talking with other people they don’t like,’ Damian thought, sighing. ‘It is draining. I can be with them,

“ARE YOU subtly confessing that you did something to sabotage my award?” Damian asked, smirking as he raised an eyebrow. “No. I’m just saying that you expected to get the Social Impact Award, but you know what? The board of directors realized you didn’t deserve it at the right time. That I deserve it more than you,” replied Ethan in a mocking tone. “It was a sudden change of judgment, so they weren’t able to inform you anymore, but they informed me beforehand so I could prepare myself.”Damian’s eyebrow raised higher, seeing that Ethan was being unusually talkative for today. “Then you should have said that as a part of your speech. Why are you telling everything to me even though I’m not interested?”“Not interested? You can’t fool me, Damian. It is seen on the cameras how shocked and frustrated you are when they called my name instead of yours,” Ethan said, smiling from ear to ear. He pointed at Damian’s phone afterward. “I guess you are not yet aware of what was happening. Look at
The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 104: Twisted Turn of Events
THE HOST’S words made everyone stop in their tracks, especially those people who were about to go home. All of them obliged as they went back to their seats, intrigued by the sudden result of the most prestigious annual award.“Outstanding person of the year? But I thought it was only announced at the Annual Awards happening at the main event.”“Oh my gosh! Is this the reason why almost all of the representatives were here at this event? This is so surprising!”“That’s why there are reporters everywhere, too! Girl, I’m glad that we came here!”Every guest started gossiping to each other, but they stopped when the host cleared her throat in the microphone, gaining everyone’s attention.“The Outstanding Person of the Year is an award given to individuals who demonstrated exceptional achievements, contributions, and leadership, creating a positive impact on the community…” the host explained. “Do you have any idea who will receive this award?”“Carter!” Most of the guests answered as the

While Damian was on the stage, he clapped loudly and encouraged every guest to do the same. Seconds later, the whole place was filled with people cheering for Damian. “Congratulations, Damian!” Carter shouted like a proud brother as his smile went from ear to ear. “What are you doing?” Carson muttered, his brows furrowing. “Showing you a lesson.” Carter stopped clapping this time as his smile converted into a wicked one. “I know that you are threatened by his existence, and to be honest, everyone does.” He looked at Luther and Ethan, who were sitting on their side. “But remember the position you have as the Ferremento family’s next heir. It is yours no matter what they say.” Carson couldn’t help but smile as he felt reassured by Carter’s words. However, when he looked at the stage, he scowled. ‘You are irritating me more than you should, Damian. I will make sure to take you down after this,’ he promised himself. But never did Carson think that at that moment, what he was planning

“Are you…Are you threatening me right now?!” Ava shouted, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.“No. I don’t find the need to threaten you,” Damian answered coldly. “Because you will not tell anyone about this.”Ava crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “And how can you be so sure? Who knows if I might plan to tell the truth to everyone?”“You cared so much about Cielo’s perspective of you, and it’s highly likely that he now knew about what you did, too,” Damian explained. “Although you can’t accept it, your family benefits from this. Who knows what Cielo will do to you once he finds out you did something again to ruin your family’s reputation?”“You!” Ava gritted her teeth, wanting to attack Damian, but she restrained herself. “I don’t know why you are acting toward me this way. You can do everything to destroy the relationship I have with Carson, tell the truth to everyone so you can humiliate me, and take revenge. But…Why?”With that question, Damian pondered for a moment, remembering

“Alright. I will not pull you out from the Mid-Century Elegance Events but it will only be for formality. I already instructed Diana not to give you another set of workloads after finishing your current tasks,” Veron said.Damian was about to disagree but Veron spoke again. “You have so many tasks at hand, and I can’t risk your well-being despite the need to train you. You also have tasks from your organization, too,” Veron explained, and the worry was evident in his expression. “You are making me proud now, Son. So you can relax for a while and enjoy the fruit of your hard work.”Hearing those words from Veron, Damian smiled. “Thank you, Father.”“You are welcome.” Veron’s smile widened. “ Just in case you will be overwhelmed by the work, contact me immediately. And you don’t need to work in the restaurant—Just observe the process and see if there is anything we can improve. I will delegate it to the Strategy Department.”“Okay.” Damian smiled and caressed the clip he attached to hi

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,”

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

“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
