The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 271; A Calculated Game
Chapter 271: A Calculated GameThe next morning, Chris was up early, feeling an unusual sense of calm as he reviewed the final statement Sandra had prepared for Sterling Heritage. Every line was crafted to dispel the baseless accusations Georgina had levied, while subtly hinting at the desperation behind her claims. The statement was straightforward, factual, and just the right amount of bold, showing anyone who read it that Sterling Heritage had nothing to hide.With a nod of approval, Chris forwarded it to the press contacts they had lined up, watching the message send with a sense of satisfaction. It was only a matter of hours before the truth would be out, and any attempt Georgina made to turn the tide would fall flat.He had just finished sending the statement when his phone rang. Connor Gebriel, the head of the local police department and one of his oldest friends, was calling. Chris picked up, leaning back in his chair.“Connor,” he greeted, a smile tugging at his lips. “Wh
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 273, A. Shocking revelation
Chapter 273, A Shocking RevelationGeorgina’s office felt like a cage. The sunlight streaming through the large windows only highlighted her frustration as she paced back and forth, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Her mind replayed the events of the last 24 hours: the demotion, the humiliation, and now, the failure of her carefully orchestrated attack on Sterling Heritage. She slammed her hands on her desk, her face contorted with anger. How had this happened? How had Sterling Heritage managed to clear its name so quickly? And worse, how had her grandfather seen through her every move? “Something doesn’t add up,” she muttered, her voice low but venomous. Georgina had built her career on reading between the lines, on uncovering what others didn’t want to be found. If Sterling Heritage had survived her accusations so cleanly, it wasn’t just luck. There was something more—something she hadn’t seen yet. Determined to uncover the truth, she picked up her pho
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 274; A Narrow Escape
Chapter 273: A Narrow EscapeStephany gripped the steering wheel tightly as she navigated through the busy city streets, her thoughts scattered. She had spent the day attending meetings for a project she had been managing, and exhaustion was beginning to creep in. Still, she was eager to get home, where Chris’s calm presence would ease her tension. The sun had dipped below the horizon, and the sky was painted in hues of orange and purple. The roads, though less congested than earlier, were still busy with vehicles rushing to their destinations. Stephany sighed, turning on the radio to drown out her thoughts. As she approached the intersection leading to the highway, she pressed down on the brake pedal. Nothing happened. Her heart skipped a beat. She pressed harder, but the car didn’t slow down. Instead, it continued to pick up speed, the engine humming with a terrifying relentlessness. Her pulse quickened. She pumped the brakes again, this time with all her strength, bu
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 275, A Close Call
Chapter 275: A Close CallChris stepped out of the office later than usual, his mind filled with the day’s events. Georgina’s recent actions and her growing desperation were troubling, but he felt oddly calm. The satisfaction of being steps ahead of her had left him feeling in control, but there was still a nagging sense of unease he couldn’t shake. Sliding into the driver’s seat of his sleek black car, Chris started the engine, the low rumble reverberating in the quiet parking lot. It was late, and the roads would be relatively clear. He planned to take the scenic route home, where he could enjoy a rare moment of solitude before the usual chaos of life greeted him. The car pulled out of the lot smoothly, and he shifted into gear, accelerating onto the main road. As he drove, the city lights blurred into streaks of gold and white, and the hum of the tires on the asphalt was almost soothing. But then, something felt… off. The steering wheel seemed heavier than usual, almost
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 276, Quiet Retribution
Chapter 276: Quiet RetributionChris arrived at his office early the next morning, his mind sharp and focused despite the chaos of the previous night. He had barely slept, but the adrenaline coursing through him was more than enough to fuel his resolve. Georgina had crossed a line. Attempting to sabotage his car wasn’t just reckless—it was personal. She had shown her willingness to go to extreme lengths to take him down, and Chris knew he couldn’t let her actions slide. However, an open confrontation wasn’t his style. Subtlety was always more effective. As he entered his private office in MTD Entertainment, the glass walls offering a panoramic view of the city, Chris loosened his tie and took a seat behind his desk. His assistant, Evelyn, walked in moments later, a tablet in hand. "Good morning, sir," she said, her tone professional but warm. “Your schedule for today is ready, but I also have the reports from Sterling Heritage you requested." Chris gestured for her to s
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 277; A Dangerous Slip
Chapter 278: A Dangerous SlipChris had barely settled into his office when the door burst open. Georgina stormed in, her face a storm cloud of fury. He leaned back in his chair, his expression calm but his eyes sharp as they locked onto hers. “Good morning to you too, Georgina,” he said dryly. “Cut the pleasantries,” she snapped, slamming a folder onto his desk. “You’ve been meddling, haven’t you?” Chris glanced at the folder but didn’t bother opening it. “You’ll have to be more specific. I tend to be involved in a lot of things.” Her nostrils flared, and she took a step closer, her voice dropping to a hiss. “Don’t play coy with me. I know you’ve been digging into Sterling Horizon. Do you think you can outmaneuver me?” Chris smirked, folding his hands on his desk. “If I wanted to outmaneuver you, Georgina, you wouldn’t even see it coming.” Her eyes blazed with anger, and for a moment, she seemed to be holding herself back. Then she leaned over his desk, her voice dripping
The Return Of The Lame Son In Law. 278; Silent Probe about the accident
Chapter 278: A Silent Probe about the accident.Chris sat at his desk long after Georgina left, her words echoing in his mind. “Just like I did with your parents."The phrase had rattled something deep within him. His parents’ death had been a wound he thought time had closed, but now it felt raw, open, and demanding answers. The memories flooded back, unbidden and vivid. It had been five years ago. He was supposed to have traveled in that car. His father had insisted he stay back to finish a presentation he had been working on for an internship interview. His parents had taken the car instead, promising to be home by nightfall. But they never made it. Chris clenched his fists as he recalled the phone call that had shattered his world. His parents’ car had collided with a truck on the highway. The authorities called it a tragic accident—faulty brakes, they said. He hadn’t questioned it then, consumed by grief and the endless responsibilities that followed. But now, Geor

That she had so easily brushed off their lives in pursuit of her ambitions left him sickened.But Chris wasn't one to lash out without a plan.He leaned back in his chair, the wheels in his mind turning. Georgina was cunning, but he had learned to be one step ahead. He couldn't confront her directly-not yet. She'd deny everything, and without concrete proof, it would be a wasted effort. No, this required strategy.His first call was to Connor."Chris," Connor answered. "Any updates?""I have reason to believe my parents' accident was orchestrated," Chris said, keeping his voice steady. "Georgina Brown's fingerprints are all over it, but I need airtight evidence."Connor didn't sound surprised. "Figured as much. I'll dig deeper on my end, but yo
