Chapter 220James picked up his phone when he saw Ellen's name on the screen."Hey, Ellen," he greeted warmly."Hi, James," she replied, her tone equally warm. "How are you holding up?"James sighed. "It's been a rough day. How’s everything with you and your folks?""We're doing well," Ellen said. "My dad’s pre-campaign meeting is going strong. He’s been meeting with a lot of important politicians, and my mom is right by his side, supporting him every step of the way.""That’s great to hear," James replied. "I’m really proud of you all. I know how much work goes into these campaigns.""Thanks, James," Ellen said sincerely. "But I actually called because of Lana. She’s really worried about you."James frowned. "Worried about me? Why?""She thinks you’re angry with her after what happened at her office," Ellen explained. "She asked me to call and talk to you. She feels terrible about the whole situation."James sighed again, rubbing his temples. "I’m not angry with Lana. I’m just frustr

Chapter 221The next day, just as Williams and Mr. Sterling had planned, Williams decided to investigate Peter, the juror that Barrister Harris Drums had mentioned before he was killed.Williams was convinced that Harris wasn't lying. Facing death can make anyone reveal their deepest and darkest secrets.He disguised himself in a plain suit and glasses. He went to the court early in the morning, trying to blend in with the crowd. He looked like any other person attending the trial, but his eyes were sharp, scanning the room for Peter.Just as he arrived at the courthouse, Williams was greeted by a security guard standing near the entrance. The guard, a burly man with a stern face, eyed him with suspicion.Williams approached with a casual smile. "Good morning. I'm looking for a Mr. Peter, one of the jurors. Could you point him out to me?"The guard's eyes narrowed as he scanned Williams from head to toe. "Why are you looking for Peter?"Williams chuckled lightly, trying to seem as non

Chapter 222After a while, Williams chided himself not to rely on thoughts but rather take action.He immediately took out his phone and dialed Mr. Sterling's number, just as they had planned beforehand.Mr. Sterling picked up on the second ring. "Yes?""Mr. Sterling, it's Williams. I just spoke to Peter. You'll never believe what I found out," Williams began, keeping his voice low as he paced near his car."What is it?" Mr. Sterling's voice was tense with anticipation."Liam Carter. He's the one pulling the strings. He's the one who replaced the initial judge," Williams revealed. “He knows all about our plan and right now I'm suspecting that his next move will be to buy a share at EMC. Once he's in, he'd try to eliminate us and take over the operation.”There was a brief silence before Mr. Sterling cursed under his breath. "Damn it. We need to do everything possible to prevent Liam's plan, even if it means killing him."Williams responded quickly, "Mr. Sterling, killing Liam Carter w

Chapter 223After the call with Williams, Mr. Sterling quickly gave the details of Peter's car to Morris Huggo, who was in the front seat, ready for action."Blue sedan, license plate PTR 558. Middle-aged guy with graying hair," Mr. Sterling relayed the information.Morris nodded approvingly, always ready to carry out Mr. Sterling's evil intentions. "Got it. I'll handle it."Mr. Sterling added, "One more thing. Before you do it, make sure you retrieve all the dollar notes in his possession. I don't want any traces coming back to us."Morris gave a reassuring nod. "Consider it done."They continued the drive, scanning the road ahead. After a few minutes, Morris spotted Peter's car coming from the opposite direction. "That's him," he said, pointing.Mr. Sterling glanced at the car and then instructed the driver, "Trail him. Keep a safe distance. We need to find a discreet location."The driver nodded and fell in behind Peter's car, maintaining a careful distance. They followed him throu

Chapter 224Liam drove alone to see Richard Carl at the hospital, dressed in a brand-new collared shirt and plain jeans.This was the second time he had visited Richard Carl in the hospital. The first time, he wasn't given access to Richard's ward because, according to the nurse, it was Richard's resting hours. Richard had been undergoing vigorous treatments ranging from physiotherapy to surgeries to heal him from paralysis. During that visit, Liam had only managed to have a conversation with Alisha before driving her home and then heading to his own mansion.Today, however, was different. He had been given a specific time to come and see Richard. He entered Sky Care and parked his car in the garage, feeling a mix of anticipation and concern.As he walked into the hospital, the sterile smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils. He made his way to the reception desk, where a friendly nurse greeted him."Good afternoon, Mr. Carter. You're here to see Mr. Richard Carl, correct?" she aske

Chapter 225After paying Richard a visit and spending quality time with Alisha, Liam left the hospital and drove home, looking forward to a good rest after the day. But on his way, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was one of his top workers."Hello, what's up?" Liam answered."Hello sir, it's Carter Comb. The building is on fire!" The worker's voice was filled with panic."What?!" Liam couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Are you sure? How bad is it?""It's not a small fire," the worker continued, his voice trembling. "You need to come down right away. The fire department is on their way, but it's spreading fast."Panic and terror gripped Liam. "I'm on my way," he said, ending the call abruptly. He pressed down on the gas pedal, driving as fast as he could towards Carter Comb.As he drove, he dialed another number, calling Kai Nakamura. "This is Liam. Have you heard about the fire at Carter Comb?""Fire? No," came the reply. "I'll be heading there now. Do you ha

Chapter 226Liam made his way towards the two firefighters, his heart heavy with worry.Mr. Carter," the chief firefighter greeted him, his voice calm despite the situation. "We need to talk.""What’s going on here?" Liam demanded, struggling to keep his voice steady. "Why did you call me in?"The chief nodded towards the control center. "The fire is mostly contained to the security unit and control center. We believe it was deliberately set."Liam's eyes widened. "Deliberately set? By who?""We don't have all the details yet, but we found some suspicious materials that suggest arson," the chief explained. "We need your cooperation to ensure the safety of everyone trapped, secure all data and to help us understand who might have done this."Liam felt a surge of anger and determination. "What do you need from me?""First, we need to secure any important documents or sensitive information that might be targeted," the chief said, pointing towards the control center of Carter Comb. "Then,

Chapter 227When Liam arrived at the scene, Williams and Morris got the news and realized their plan was proceeding smoothly.Williams initiated the third step of their plan: bring Liam inside, make him open the control center, change the password, steal crucial data, force Liam to reveal everything he knew about their operation at EMC, and then eliminate him by throwing him into the fire, claiming he was a victim of the blaze.Williams approached the Carter Comb staff member who was in charge and helping his colleagues put out the fire. "Hey, I need you to bring Mr. Carter into the building," he said, keeping his tone urgent but calm. "The fire is about to ravage the control center, and we need him to give us the password to prevent further damage."The staff member nodded, not suspecting anything, and quickly went to fetch Liam. It wasn’t long until Williams saw a trembling Liam Carter walking towards them, wearing a safety jacket and goggles. The fear was evident on his face, but s

Chapter 228James and Gregor were hurrying out of the burning Carter Comb when they saw someone hurl another person into the flames and shut the door. James wasn't able to make out who had hurled their opponent into the flames, but he could clearly see that they were wearing firefighter uniforms. He couldn’t quite understand why a firefighter, someone meant to rescue and protect people, would throw someone into the fire.Although they were trying to make it out of the building and get to safety, his curiosity got the better of him. He asked Gregor, "Did you see what just happened?"Gregor nodded, eyes wide with disbelief. "Yeah, I saw it. What the hell is going on?"Without a second thought, James rushed towards the scene to see for himself what was really going on, even though he knew it might jeopardize his identity. He and Gregor were disguised as junior staff workers at Carter Comb, a ruse they had adopted to gather information.They had come, coincidentally like Williams and Mor

Chapter 229Kai Nakamura was practicing Kung Fu in Liam's gym after a long day of work. Liam had asked him to accompany him to visit Richard Carl at the hospital, but Kai had refused, preferring to stay back and train.As he executed a series of precise moves, his phone rang, interrupting his focus. It was Liam, and his urgent tone conveyed panic. Liam told him that Carter Comb was on fire.Kai was stunned. He couldn’t quite grasp how Carter Comb, one of the most secure and safest companies in Emerald Falls, could be up in flames. “What? How is that possible?” he asked, but the line was already disconnected.Quickly, he dashed to his wardrobe, throwing on some clothes. His heart pounded as he hurried outside, hopping into one of the sports cars. He started the engine and sped towards the company, his mind racing with questions and a growing sense of unease.As he drove, his thoughts kept circling around the cause of the fire. It didn’t make sense. Carter Comb was designed to be nearly
