Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 89
“I guess that shows how much there is a lack of integrity in every dealing with the Winstons.”Mr. Maxwell was blazing with a fury of surprise. “We agreed that my investments would be stable as long as they keep me updated on every employee's status - those who left the company, those who were sacked from the company, and those who are to face disciplinary issues.” “Were any of those sent to you?” Paul inquired.“Yes, they usually sent the memos and a monthly list of employees status but now that you mention it, I can’t help but think that I have been deceived and that the reports that they have been sending to me are all fake.”“Mr. Maxwell, I advise that you do a proper assessment of your records very well. You just might discover more things that the Winstons have hidden from you.”“This is quite terrible, Mr. Leonard,” Mr. Maxwell uttered angrily. “I have always been a top investor and is this how they treat me? They know how business-oriented I am and how I value integrity and h

The finances of Winstons Corporation were never stable and sometimes she secretly wished that hadn’t intimidated Sarah from her position as secretary. A lot of the blame was going to go her way in the event of a poor financial situation for the Winstons.“Set me up with Mr. Maxwell through a phone call conversation,” Lady Winston instructed and Janet did as she was asked.She passed the landline onto Lady Winston when the call had gone through.“Good day, Mr. Maxwell,” Lady Winston greeted.“Good day.”“Erm, sir—we have found out that there is a little issue with your investments. We have not been receiving them as we should - we want to know what has happened?”“Not much has happened, Lady Winston,” Maxwell responded, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips. “Well, except that I am no longer interested in being an investor in your company.”Lady Winston gaped with a horror of disbelief, her breath held with a deadly gasp and her face flushed in astonishment.What did she just hear?

She headed into the garage and then to her car and drove out checking her map almost every moment to make sure that she didn’t miss her way.She finally got to Fort Avenue and the location that pointed out the address looked like a small office. It was one of Paul’s warehouses but it was later turned into an office for official purposes.She got into the office room and it had a deadly air of strangeness, its lighting a surreal of shadows. The air was filled with scents of flowers as she glanced around, her face contorted with confusion.She thought of heading back to the door. Perhaps she had missed the address. Things were looking a little too strange.She soon heard the sound of a door flung open. She didn’t know there was a door there. A young lady in her late twenties walked out of the door, her posture very sleek and curvaceous as she walked elegantly toward Lady Winston.“Have a seat, Ma’am,” the lady said, pointing toward the direction where she should sit.Lady Winston turne

“Why don't I believe you though?” Mr. Maxwell asked, his back resting on his seat comfortably as he probed. “Take a look at these documents - these are some of the memos that you sent and the dates do not correspond with each other.”“They are fake financial reports. I have given my auditors to carefully analyze these documents and the report is that they are all fake. Some of them aren't even signed.”Lady Winston’s breath was caught in a hitch of panic, her voice quivering with a hint of uncertainty. “I—I am not sure but we signed most of them.”“Most of them?” Mr. Maxwell queried. “Isn't that just some b*****it? Can you listen to yourself right now? You are actually telling me that most of them weren't signed, what happened to the rest,” Mr. Maxwell’s voice was resounding with an echo of disapproval.“My main issue is not even with the fact that they weren't signed. I find it even more absurd that important decisions regarding staff were taken without my knowledge or approval.”“Si

“If it were by your own desires, I would never have given birth to this lovely baby whose life you will be very far away from,” she yelled bitterly. “I will make sure that I protect her from such a vile creature like you.”Lady Winston lowered her head slightly in shame - she still couldn't believe what was happening.It was clear that her hopes for reaching an agreement with Mr. Maxwell to restore his investments were going downhill. She had been exposed and Sarah’s anger was bearing down on her like rain.“Is this what usually goes on in Winston? This matter is beyond me being a top investor - some of these acts are very criminal. How can you be so heartless as to deny a nursing mother of her baby? How do you act this way towards your daughter? I heard that the reason why you did that was because she confessed to the press.”“She is such a wicked woman. I can't believe that I came from your womb,” Sarah seethed, pointing accusing fingers toward Lady Winston.Lady Winston's face flus

“Surprise, isn't it?” Paul smirked, his expression stern and unyielding with an aura of danger. “I don't think you should be so surprised though. You always had it coming.”“It's quite terrible that you have turned Winston Corporation from a highly appreciated company to a disaster ground.”“Lord Winston would not have allowed ——”Lady Winston spoke over Paul as he mentioned Lord Winston. “Don't mention my ex-husband. You don't deserve to mention his name. Who are you to mention such a great man’s name so carelessly.”Paul’s muscle strings formed together in anger as he signaled his guards.POW!One of the guards sent a big punch which connected dangerously on Lady Winston’s cheek.“You are such a mess to think that you deserve to take Lord Winston’s position. You know quite well that he never really trusted you even when he was alive. He always kept secrets from you and he was right to do so.”Lady Winston narrowed her eyes with a deadly glare of wrath. Was it the same Paul who was t

“Where is my brother?!” Rico yelled, his muscles ripping with cold anger and his face contorted with pure aggression. “Where have you kept my brother? Which dungeon have you kept him in? What have you done to him? What did he do to deserve the wickedness that you did to him? You hurt him for no reason. Just because you were looking for me, you decided to use my brother as a scapegoat. Why?!”The punches kept flying toward Lady Winston’s face as she took them with her face contorted with bloody destruction. Her jaws shifted and readjusted as she received the punches. Rico’s grip was so firm that Lady Winston didn't have a second to breathe. Lady Winston was only perplexed by the fact that Rico - a mere gardener now had the mind to torture her. Her face was bruised in pain and blood was gushing out of her jaws. Her lips were silent in a deadly put of torment as the blood trickled. Rico retracts a bit after a faint tries to restrain him from killing Lady Winston. The pace at which he

Janet played a smart one with the question. That was the only way she was going to either affirm or suspend her suspicion. Janet wore a purple dress. She knew that if she was held hostage and forced to say the things she was saying, the way she would reply would show it.Paul figured that Janet’s question was a trick and since he didn't know what color of dress she wore, it was time to end it all. With a burst of tension, Paul stretched his hand aggressively towards Lady Winston’s ear to snatch the phone from her hand before she made any sudden moves.But Lady Winston screamed. “Paul has me hostage, Fort Avenue, Ro——”Before Lady Winston could complete her statement, Paul snatched the phone from her.Paul gritted his teeth in anger because Lady Winston had already mentioned Fort Avenue. It was a description that could lead them to where they were. “F*ck!” Rico yelled, his voice tinged with frustration when he noticed that Lady Winston said something to Janet on the phone. He was conc

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard.

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h

Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before.

Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi

“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair

Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
