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

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

“Take your stupid money and get lost!”Miles remained still when this happened. His calm gaze suddenly turned cold as he glared coldly at the man. Theo Good was shocked by the fearsome stare of this tall handsome man, and he took a step back. “What are you going to do? I’m the rightful owner of the good. I get to decide if I want to sell it to you or not, and I choose the latter!”Miles calmly raised the printed receipt. “How can you even claim to have any right over that box? The right became mine the second I got this receipt from you….”Theo Good suddenly snatched the receipt from Miles’s hand and angrily tore it to bits. He hoped that the classy customer had not seen the amount stated on the receipt. The classy man burst into laughter as he had seen the amount on the receipt before it was torn up. “My goodness! You actually sold off such a precious item for $5?!”Theo Good could only look away in shame. Now, he felt like selling this item for $100,000 would be quite hard.Lola h
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: THE TRI-PRIDE GANG.
Miles wanted Theo Good to hear him as he was making the call. This retired archeologist had decided to cheat him out of the goods he had bought fair and square. He didn’t care that the classy-dressed customer wanted to pay $100,000 for it. The fact still remained that it was now rightfully his.Theo Good scoffed. “What exactly is this? Do you think you can call over your pals to come cosplay as some big shot to scare me? Fine, bring it on, young man! I’ll wait and see what show you can afford to entertain me with today. Just know that you are still going to end up in prison; I promise to make that your reality.”Miles simply smiled at this old man. This was the reason why he wanted his wife and daughter out of the shop. The person he had called just now was Alan Butch – one of the three big bosses of the underground world in this city.There were three underground kings who ruled together, maintaining and controlling the channels that had been established to do all sorts of businesses
