Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: MASKED SHAREHOLDER.
Miles couldn’t help but chuckle as he recalled his interaction with Edmund. It was fun to silently watch as Edmund threatened to use the power of the company’s shareholders to trample him. Miles had not hesitated to encourage the sales director. In reality, he knew he was going to inevitably defeat Edmund Porsche in the most humiliating way possible.Currently, Miles had taken a secret route to his office, where he was now changing out of his casual outfit into an expensive suit. This formal wear was purchased at a price of $700,000; something his opponents would be hesitant to purchase willy-nilly.There was a knock on the office door, and with Miles’s permission, Fisher McCall entered the room with a submissive posture that no one else except Miles had seen.“Mr. Creek, the meeting is ready to receive you now.”Miles turned a glance at the manager. “Good. Is everyone there?”Fisher McCall nodded his head sharply while he kept his gaze down. “Everyone notable is currently waiting for
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: LOLA’S OBSERVATION.
Everyone at the meeting was quite confused as to what exactly was going on. The new shareholder had walked into the meeting with sunglasses and a mask. Even his hair was styled in a way that the frame of his face couldn’t be seen clearly.After the greeting, everyone began feeling awkward but a look from Fisher kept everyone on their best behavior. They shouldn’t gawk at the new shareholder; he might get angry. As for Lola, she was seated further back thanks to Edmund who didn’t want this new shareholder to end up being impressed with her like his coworkers had at the past meeting with the upper ranks. Despite the distance, Lola couldn’t help but feel like the masked shareholder looked quite familiar. After a while, her eyes widened as it suddenly clicked.“Miles?! Could it really be you?!” Lola whispered this under her breath as she knew better than to disrupt the meeting. Her body shook and she squinted her eyes to get a better look. She couldn’t help but internally curse at Edmun
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: ADVICE FROM THE SHAREHOLDER.
Edmund felt happy. He had been looking for a way to humiliate Lola in front of the new shareholder while also making himself look like a diligent mentor and sales director. He believed that he had struck two birds with one stone.Everyone turned their gaze in time to catch the masked shareholder calling Fisher over before he whispered something in his ear. Fisher stiffened as he nodded.Once the whispering between the two was over, everyone wondered what was going on, especially Lola who was certain that she might be thrown out of the meeting.Fisher spoke. “Mr. Edmund, you have disrupted this meeting without permission. You were trying to teach your underling the importance of etiquette at work, and yet, you have committed the same offense in the process. As of now, the shareholder desires that you leave this meeting right now.”Everyone, including Lola, was left in shock. Edmund was humiliated beyond words. With no choice left, he packed up his stuff and exited the meeting room. The
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: BUYING GIFTS.
Lola was on her way back to her office when her phone rang with a birthday ringtone. She quickly retrieved the phone to lower the volume as other employees around that area had been disturbed by it.Lola smiled awkwardly at them. “Sorry, just ignore it.” She checked the notification on her phone and a bright smile lit up her face. “It’s Dad’s birthday already? Woah! Time has flown by.” She walked all the way to her office before dialing her husband’s phone number.As soon as the meeting was over, Miles had returned to his private office with Fisher right behind him. Once they were inside the office, Miles gave the manager a few more instructions which involved overseeing the performance of each department in the company. The step towards elevating the status of Styleon Group Corporation was a big vision, and for that dream to come true, every single employee needed to put in their best. This was why Miles had compensated them with a raise and special additions in the benefits section.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY: SHOPPING FOR GIFTS.
Miles had a confused expression on his face. “What’s wrong?”“Kelsey’s dress; where did you buy it from?!” Lola’s face held a shocked gaze as he looked at the dazzling dress that her daughter was wearing. She felt the fabric with her hands which left her in greater shock. This cloth had to be expensive.Lola was about to ask her husband how he had afforded the pay, but then she held her curiosity back as she remembered that Miles was a broke man. The only sensible conclusion that she could come up with is that Miles had purchased this at one of those illegal shops that make cheap versions of expensive clothes, except they make it hard to distinguish.Lola sneered as she believed she had figured out the actual situation. “Miles, please, never buy my daughter this knock-off dress again. It’s embarrassing. I know you’re trying to look like a cool father, but it would only end in humiliation when someone finds out that her clothes are fake. Then what will you do when everyone starts makin

When Lola heard these words from her husband, she stared at him with incredulity before she broke out into laughter. “You? Help me? You’re joking, right?”Miles shook his head with a soft smile still on his face. He was aware that Lola was openly mocking him but he played the fool still. “Of course, I believe I can help you with any problem that you have at work.” He stood in front of the woman, which made them pause their walk. “Lola, I’ve been meaning to have this conversation with you for a while now. I wonder why you barely let me in on all your struggles at work. You might be surprised by how much help I can provide.”Lola covered her mouth as she let out a ‘pfft’. “How am I supposed to believe you, Miles? You didn’t even make the cut when you applied for an office job at the company. Your performance must have been so bad that they could only offer you the post of a gatekeeper. Plus, you only got that job because you are married to me.”Miles sighed as he gently patted Lola on t
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: TRUE WORTH.
Miles watched as Lola walked away from him, heading back to the aisles she had left earlier. This time, the woman had forgotten to take her daughter back with her.Kelsey looked up at her dad. “Dada, what are you going to do now?”Miles looked back at the box with the intricate pattern. “Since your mom has decided to not purchase this, I guess the luck is on me.” He grabbed the item in one hand before carrying his cute daughter in the other hand. “Let’s go pay for this.” He tickled his daughter briefly, earning a squeaky giggle from the little girl. Then they headed to the counter where the shopkeeper was.Miles dropped the box on the table. “I would like to purchase this item.” He looked at the shopkeeper’s name tag. The shopkeeper’s name is Theo Good. It made sense that this establishment was called ‘Theo’s Antique Goods.’The shopkeeper, who was an old man, glanced down at the item that this customer had chosen. His smile dropped as he saw it was one of the items he had long deemed
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: POWER BULLY.
The shop owner, Theo Good, had accepted his faith. He was an archeologist in his youth who used to work with a big archeology company. Throughout his life, he had seen various items and treasures that he had appraised well and he had been commended for them. Unfortunately, he quit working with the company due to various conflicts arising as the year went by. Also, he was getting older and wanted to live life according to his desires. Thus, after leaving the archeology company, he opened this shop where he would sell items that he occasionally found whenever he was on private excavations with his acquaintances in the archeology circle. So even though he wasn’t working at the archeology company anymore due to his old age, he was still very much involved in the profession of appraising items. In reality, Theo Good didn’t pay a dime when he got that box from one of his excavations. On that trip with his acquaintances, he had been struck with bad luck and almost didn’t find any item worth
