Chapter 151Just as James was about to be led out of the reception hall by the ESU agents, a team of military personnel stormed into the building, sent by Jonathan Princeton through General Arnold, himself. They swiftly surrounded James and the agents, creating a tense standoff.Mr. Sterling was confused. He didn't know why the military was present. Williams, too, was curious to find out why.He thought Mr. Sterling was aware of the development, so he gave Mr. Sterling a side eye, and Mr. Sterling understood. He shook his head, indicating his own confusion.The confusion on everyone's faces was clearly visible."The military is here." A close friend of Kate whispered to her from behind. "What do they want?”"It's clear that they're here to also arrest James." She replied, grinning from ear to ear.“What if they're here to support him?” Someone asked her."Support James? How?""Maybe they're here to stop the arrest.""That's impossible! I hope they don't make things worse.""Yeah, let'

Chapter 153The atmosphere in the reception hall was tense as Mr. Sterling stormed out angrily, followed by his personal assistant Morris Huggo.Williams, the mastermind behind the scheme, felt frustrated as his carefully planned plot began to fall apart. He exchanged a glance with Mr. Sterling, silently acknowledging the setback. He also exchanged a glance with Kate, signifying her to oppose the lieutenant Jones’ decision.Kate began to shout and throw tantrums at the military men. "You're not supposed to come here! This is not your job. The ESU Should have handled it better. You're all unprofessional. You are not doing the right thing," she said and began to wail.“Please madam, we're only being professional here and you should not cause more commotion.” Lt. Jones said respectfully to Kate but she kept shouting and disturbing the place.Seeing that she was not listening, Lt. Jones said nothing but signaled to one of his men who forcefully escorted Kate out of the company.Meanwhile,

Chapter 155Meanwhile, back at Carl's home, Alisha was having a big quarrel with her mother, Kate, for disgracing herself at EMC today."Like Mom, what were you thinking? You just came to disgrace yourself by accusing James wrongly for what he did not even do," she yelled at her mom. "We both know that James doesn't steal.""Come off it now, Alisha. James is a pauper and he's a scammer! Do you ever wonder how he got so rich just a few months after you divorced him? It's because he is behind the Enron scam.""That's a lie, Mom. You all just hate James for no reason. He was very loving and the best thing that happened to me, but you greedily forced me until I divorced him," Alisha cried out. "Now I regret everything.""Don't talk bad now. You know Jaxon is still better than James. Don't you like me being called Mr. Sterling's in-law? He's powerful and wealthy, and you should let that sink into your skull.""That's all you care about, Mom? Being called Mr. Sterling's in-law, and you don'

Eric asked, his voice trembling with concern.Mary answered the phone, her voice tinged with concern. "We're fine, Eric. wWhat's wrong? Why do you sound so worried?"Eric took a deep breath, trying to compose himself before responding. "But Mary, are you and Claire safe? Is everything okay at home?"Mary's confusion deepened. "Yes, Eric, we're both fine," she replied, her tone becoming more worried. "But why are you asking? Is something wrong?"Eric hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I just received some unsettling news, and I want to make sure you're both safe," he explained cryptically.Mary's concern grew as she listened to Eric's vague response. "What kind of news? Eric, you're scaring me. Please tell me what's going on," she pleaded."I'll explain everything later, Mary," Eric said, trying to reassure her. "Just stay with the security guards and keep an eye out for a

Chapter 159As Jaxon looked up, he saw a stunning woman approaching him. "Hey, pretty," he replied with a smile, admiring her beauty."I'm Milly Sienna, nice to meet you, Jax," she introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake.Jaxon accepted her hand graciously, but instead of shaking it, he lifted it to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on it, like a true gentleman.He smiled in response to Milly's introduction.
