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

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

Headlines and alerts filled his feed with bold letters, each article questioning Georgina’s integrity and the scandal she had orchestrated. The media had shifted, just as he and Maya planned. Chris’s actions had caused the public to look more closely at Georgina, and the effects were taking root faster than he’d anticipated.He smiled, feeling the satisfaction of progress as he scrolled through.

Chapter Chris leaned back, a slight frown settling on his face as he tapped his fingers against the table in Stephany’s living room. The media storm swirling around his supposed connection to Loreta was impossible to ignore. Reports and photos—no doubt doctored—spread like wildfire, painting a picture he didn’t recognize. He’d expected Georgina to lash out, but he hadn't anticipated how deeply her reach extended or how quickly she could weaponize it.Across from him, Stephany sat in silence, her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee. She glanced up occasionally, catching glimpses of Chris’s contemplative gaze. He could feel the weight of her stare, the tension simmering between them as the unspoken words hung heavily in the air. The rumors had begun to affect their home life, and he hated that Georgina’s schemes had found a way to seep into his personal space.“Are you really just going to let her control the narrative?” Stephany finally asked, breaking the silence. Her voice

For years, Georgina Sinclair Brown had allowed herself to forget about her nephew, Chris, the black sheep who had been exiled from the family. It was convenient and comforting to ignore him, knowing she had pulled strings behind the scenes to ensure he would be cut off from the powerful Brown lineage. She had been certain she’d rid herself of his inconvenient presence and his moralistic ideals, which were a thorn in her side. And yet, like a ghost from the past, Chris had returned—claiming not only his name but also the family empire she so fiercely desired. The news came abruptly, shaking her world in ways she hadn’t expected. She could still recall the conversation with her younger brother, Martins, who’d sat across from her in her office, delivering the bombshell with a calmness that only stoked her fury. “Chris has taken over the company,” Martins had said simply, watching her reaction with something like anticipation. His words hit her like a slap. She stared at him, unable

Chapter 266: The Last Straw Chris felt the tension simmering, like a storm cloud growing thicker each day. Despite his distance from the Brown estate, the whispers and stares he faced in the business world began creeping into every aspect of his life. Even his once steady clients began to withdraw, leaving vague excuses about "reputation concerns." The rumors were no longer confined to his family—they were seeping into every corner of his world, tarnishing his hard-earned name. Stephany noticed it too. She'd often find him deep in thought, staring into space with clenched fists, anger held barely in check. One evening, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “Chris, this has gone on long enough,” she said, watching him closely. “You need to confront this head-on. The family can’t keep playing you like this, and I know it’s not just coincidence.” Chris sighed, rubbing his temples. “I know it’s Georgina, Steph. She’s always had it out for me. I just… I can’t prove it, and if I act witho
