Chapter 130 James got really mad. He looked straight at Williams, who just grinned back at him, like he was making fun of James. Lana was surprised. This wasn't part of the plan. It was supposed to be a date for two couples. "Why did you invite them?" she asked Williams. Williams smirked and said, "I thought it would be more fun with more people." James blurted out, "What are they doing here?" But Ellen tapped him to calm down. Williams went up to them and said, “Hey Jaxon! Hey Alisha! It's nice to see you both. Come join us for the celebration." Jaxon was furious when he saw James, and Ellen, but he calmed down when he saw Lana. She's the only reason he'd stick around. Williams had promised to set him up with Lana. “Thanks, Williams,” he said. Alisha was also surprised. She thought it was just a date with Jaxon. But now she saw James, her ex, Lana, Ellen Princeton, and even Williams, her cousin. She felt embarrassed and annoyed at once. “Jaxon, I thought this was our date. Why

Chapter 132"Hey Lana, sweetheart, it's not what you're thinking," Williams said, placing a hand on Lana's shoulder. "She was just a bit shaken up, so I was calming her down. Nothing serious," he fibbed.Lana's eyes widened with concern. "James is in trouble. We need to get security to help him. He's being attacked," she exclaimed."No worries. You two go get security while I lend a hand to James," Williams assured, rolling up his sleeves before leaving.Meanwhile, Lana and Alisha exchanged awkward glances, each unsure how to broach the topic with the other."So, uh, are you and Williams, like, a thing now?" Alisha tentatively inquired. “Are you guys dating?”Lana's response was sharp. "What, are you trying to snatch him from me too?" she retorted.Alisha quickly shook her head. "No, no! Williams is my cousin. We've known each other forever. He disappeared for a while, and now he's suddenly rich," she explained. "But listen, I have this feeling he's hiding something. You shouldn't tru

Chapter 134The next day news of the attack soon spread through the whole of Emerald falls.EMC all the workers were talking about it. Most especially about how James and Williams single-handedly beat up the thugs.Jonathan Princeton's men had already intervened and taken the thugs who attacked them to the barracks for questioning."Oh, so it's true now. The PA to the director of finances is dating Ellen Princeton," people gossiped as they heard the news."Yes, yes, how lucky can one person be," another person chimed in. "Wasn't he the one who got promoted a few days ago and now he's driving a Bugatti and dating the daughter of a famous politician?""So, between James and Williams, who do you think has more power?" Elton asked his friend."I think it's James. He's much more successful," his friend replied."No, it's Williams. He has access to the control unit. Do you know what that means?" Elton asked."What does that control unit do?" his friend asked, intrigued."It basically gives

Chapter 136After rushing back to the office, Eric found Williams pacing anxiously in the waiting room to his office."What's going on, Williams? Who did you find out?" Eric demanded, his heart racing with anticipation.Williams turned to face him, his expression grave. "It's worse than we thought, Mr. Wood. The hackers responsible for the virus attack on our system… it is an Asian organization, like I said and the mastermind behind it all is no other than, our director of finance, Mrs. Lee"Eric's eyes widened in shock. "Mrs. Lee? You can't be serious.”“Take a look at this.” Williams said as he dug his hands inside his pocket and brought out his phone and gave it to Eric.Eric took it and saw a screenshot message between Mrs. Lee and an unidentified user. He froze in his position.“No, you're mistaken. You know the consequences of wrongly and intentionally accusing someone? You'd be facing a jail term of 50+ years," Eric told Williams sternly, attempting to gauge his sincerity. But

Chapter 138When James heard the shocking news from Eric, he was completely taken aback. He couldn't believe what he was hearing."So now she's been taken to the police station and will stay there until we bring her to court," Eric explained."Eric, are you absolutely sure about this? Mrs. Lee seemed so righteous; it's hard to believe she's capable of such things," James questioned, still grappling with the shocking revelation."That's the thing, James. You can never truly know what's in someone's heart. But all the evidence points to her involvement. She's allegedly working with an undisclosed Asian hacking organization and refusing to reveal their identity," Eric explained, his tone grave."I'm still in disbelief," James admitted. Mrs. Lee had always been his superior at work, and he never suspected anything amiss. "I feel like I need to go to the police station and see for myself, maybe even talk to her.""She'll probably deny everything, James. It might be best to let the legal pr
