The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 265
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
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 266
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

She had saved the company from an imminent financial disaster, something no one had believed she could do.The Financial Investigation had loomed over them for months, casting shadows of uncertainty.

This wasn’t just another corporate win—it was her victory, her triumph. And she wanted everyone to see it.As she looked around the room, she lifted her glass high. “To survival,” she said, a smirk playing on her lips. “And to proving that sometimes, we need fresh eyes to see things through.”A round of applause erupted, mixed with murmurs of agreement. She caught a f

Chapter 267; Georgina’s demotion Georgina stood confidently at the head of the conference table, her heart pounding with excitement as the room buzzed with voices of relief and gratitude. She had saved the company from collapse, securing a resolution to the Financial Investigation that had nearly destroyed them. She basked in the glow of her achievement, knowing that every eye in the room was on her, and finally, they were looking at her with respect. She knew Grandpa would recognize what she had done. Her actions had been bold, decisive, and unflinching. Today was the day he would acknowledge her as the company’s rightful leader. She had no doubts that her position as acting president would become official, and she’d hold the power she’d worked so hard to earn. She raised her glass, a smile stretching across her face. “To a future without fear,” she declared, her voice ringing with confidence. “And to all of us—who stayed strong when the storm seemed unbeatable.” The
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 269; Consequences of recklessness
Chapter 269: The Consequences of RecklessnessGeorgina’s jaw clenched as she stared at her grandfather, searching his face for any sign of sympathy. But all she saw was disappointment etched deeply into his features. Her chest tightened, the weight of his unspoken judgment pressing down on her, but she forced herself to stand tall. She wasn’t going to cower, not now.Grandpa took a deep breath, folding his hands on the table in front of him. He leaned forward, his gaze piercing, unyielding. “Georgina,” he began, his voice low and steady, “you know, as well as anyone, that every decision we make impacts not only ourselves but this entire company, this family, and the generations that come after.”“I understand that, Grandpa,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I did what I thought was right. I was trying to save the family from ruin.”He raised a hand to silence her, and she felt a flicker of irritation rise. She wasn’t a child anymore. She was capable of making de
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 270; A Preemptive Strike
Chapter 270: A Preemptive StrikeChris sat in his office at MTD Entertainment, his gaze fixed on the cityscape outside his window, lost in thought. His focus had been on navigating through the recent challenges that MTD faced, but a sudden buzz from his phone interrupted him.“Sir, I have an update on Georgina Brown,” his assistant’s voice crackled through the speaker.Chris’s brow raised, and he felt an unexpected sense of curiosity. “Go ahead,” he said, leaning back in his chair.“She’s been removed from her position as acting president,” the assistant reported, her tone edged with restrained excitement. “Apparently, her grandfather found out she’d signed over company shares to Sterling Horizon Capital without proper authorization.”Chris's lips curled into a small, satisfied smile. So, her reckless ambition had finally caught up with her. He’d known Georgina would make bold moves to consolidate her power, but he hadn’t expected her to slip up so spectacularly, and in such a way
