The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 253: Behind the curtains of deciet
Chapter 253: Behind the Curtains of Deceit Georgina could barely contain her satisfaction as she glanced at Joyce from across the room, her plan unraveling just as she'd envisioned. Joyce was distraught, desperate for any glimmer of hope that might see her husband, Miller, released from prison. Georgina had noticed her sorrowful eyes and trembling voice during family gatherings, her weariness from carrying the shame and struggle of Miller's imprisonment weighing on her shoulders. In Joyce, Georgina saw an opportunity—a pawn who, in her desperation, would do anything to restore her family. And Georgina knew precisely how to fan the flames of Joyce’s desperation to serve her own agenda against Chris. One evening, as the Browns gathered for a family dinner, Georgina slipped next to Joyce, her voice soft but with a purposeful undertone. “You must be exhausted, Joyce. All these burdens—having to manage the family’s disappointment in Miller, raising your children alone. I can’t im
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 254: Clash or Blood and Pride
Chapter 254: The Clash of Blood and Pride Grandfather Brown sat alone in his office, eyes fixed on the polished wood of his desk, but his mind lingered on the accusations swirling around Chris. Despite his attempts to ignore the rumors, the weight of them gnawed at him. He’d heard that Chris was involved with a rising star from MTD, Loreta—a scandal that would surely tarnish the family’s reputation. MTD was directly tied to the Brown family name, and Chris, as president of the company, was expected to represent them with dignity and honor. The whispers of his alleged affair with Loreta were causing a stir that Grandpa Brown could no longer ignore. After all, it was Chris’s investment years ago, during a time of crisis, that had propped up the Brown family. When the family was on the brink of financial ruin, Chris had poured his personal fortune into Brown Enterprises, an act that had ultimately allowed him to be appointed as the president of MTD. Yet, despite this, the f
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 255: The Heavy Silence and shattering revelation
Chapter 255: The Heavy Silence and Shattering Revelations Chris closed the door of his grandfather’s office, his heart pounding with a mixture of frustration and anger. He felt the sting of the harsh words and accusations, the unfair judgments thrown at him without a moment’s pause to hear his side. He wanted to shout, to scream back, but what good would that have done? His grandfather had already made up his mind. As he stepped into the hallway, he caught sight of Joyce and Georgina standing nearby, their faces lighting up with smug satisfaction the moment they saw him. Clearly, they had been eavesdropping, or perhaps they had heard bits and pieces of the conversation between him and Grandfather. Either way, their mocking smirks told him all he needed to know. “Oh, Chris,” Joyce cooed, her voice laced with false sympathy. “It must be so difficult for you to keep up with the family’s standards. Not that you ever did, but we understand. Maybe it’s best if you just… took a ste
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 256; Cousins meet up
Chapter 256; cousins meet up Chris sat on his living room couch, lost in thought, the silence of the house only amplifying the swirl of recent events in his mind. The weight of everything—family issues, business challenges, and the lingering effects of strained relationships—felt like a storm he couldn’t escape. The quiet had become his only constant, a comforting backdrop as he tried to piece together what his next steps should be. He leaned back, letting his gaze drift to the ceiling, and sighed heavily. So much had changed since he had first married into the Preston family, and lately, he’d begun to feel the shift even more intensely. Conversations with Stephany had grown more strained; her once warm eyes now often held a critical gaze, one that felt like it was directed straight through him. And the rest of the family? Well, they hadn’t been subtle with their sentiments either. Just as Chris’s thoughts began to drag him deeper into frustration, his phone vibrated on
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 257; What’s going on in MTD?
Chapter 257: What’s going on in MTD? Chris was jolted awake by the sharp, insistent ringing of his phone. His eyes struggled to adjust to the darkness, the early morning haze still heavy around him. Glancing at the clock on his bedside table, he saw it was barely 5:30 a.m., and his brain scrambled to piece together why anyone would be calling at this hour. Bleary-eyed, he reached for his phone and squinted at the screen. It was Mrs Grace, his manager at MTD Entertainment. Chris felt a jolt of anxiety surge through him. John wouldn’t call this early unless it was something critical. “Sir, it’s bad,” Mrs Grace voice came through, thick with urgency and stress. “What’s happened?” Chris asked, sitting up, his mind sharpening as he tried to prepare himself for whatever disaster lay ahead. “There’s been a major security breach,” Mrs Grace said, his words tumbling out in a rush. “Confidential files—highly sensitive ones—have been leaked. It’s all over social media, and the press i
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 258; Another Preston family meeting
Chapter 258: The Preston Family Meeting Mrs. Eleanor’s heels clicked sharply as she paced the grand hall of Preston Empire’s headquarters, her face ashen with worry together with her daughter, Stephany. Rumors had been swirling, and if what she’d heard was true, it threatened to drag the family’s image into the mud. The Preston family matriarch, Grandma Preston, had wasted no time in summoning an emergency family meeting to discuss the matter and find fast possible solutions. The old woman wasn’t one to take risks with the family’s reputation, and with the whispers spreading about a scandal involving MTD Entertainment. A company connected, however distantly, to their precious family she wouldn’t stand for any hint of trouble. One by one, the family members filed into the family house, an imposing mansion where many significant decisions had been made. In attendance were all the key players: Stephany, the majority shareholder in the family business; Henry, her cousin and one
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 259; unmasking the truth
Chapter 259: Unmasking the Truth Chris slipped his phone into his pocket, his gaze unwavering as he stepped out of the Preston residence and into the cool night air. Stephany’s defense of him had stirred something deep within him—a renewed sense of purpose. He wouldn’t let her loyalty go unrewarded, nor would he allow anyone to smear the Preston name without consequences. Georgina had been lurking in the shadows for too long, weaving webs of deception, and it was time he untangled them. For months, Chris had quietly pieced together bits of information surrounding MTD Entertainment’s inner dealings. It had been subtle at first—unusual requests from board members, discrepancies in accounts, and an increase in the leakage of confidential information. Everything pointed back to Don Wilson, a mid-level executive with just enough access to cause serious trouble. But Chris had never been convinced that Wilson acted alone. Tonight, he planned to find out. His first call was to
