Chapter 123 Williams got to his office and quickly got back to work. His plan was to hack into the new server, claiming it has been breached by the hackers. He would then request a large sum of money from Eric to buy tools that he would use to fix it. “Nice scamming strategy!” He boasted to himself. “At least this would generate over 10 million dollars for me.” Within a few minutes he was able to breach the new EMC's server where every employee's information was moved, with his sophisticated software. He searched the server, looking for Mrs. Lee's profile and it didn't not take him a few seconds before he found it. “There you're, Mrs. Fucking Lee.” He smirked. “Now let me see how you'll be able to come out of this after I have framed you. But first, the whole of EMC must feel my shock.” He said and sent an email to everyone on the server. *** Mrs. Lee told James everything he needed to know as the personal assistant. But just as they were deep in discussion, an urgent message
Chapter 124"That's a whole lot of money," James blurted out. "I don't think that's necessary. Moving the server to a…""Shut up, what do you know?" Williams retorted, cutting him short. It appears he was still pissed that James was promoted."Say that again and I'll bang your head hard across this marble table," James replied angrily."You're just good for nothing, and you can't do anything. Try," Williams scoffed at him.James clenched his fist hard and angrily stormed across the table towards Williams.Williams saw him coming and readied himself for the confrontation.It was evident that the enmity between the two has grown and they can't wait to dig it out among themselves.William was sincerely trying hard to find out who James really is and James on the other hand is trying to figure out what his intentions are.Eric saw how the situation was escalating and then intervened, "Enough of this, both of you! I won't have you fighting in my office. That's a disgrace to EMC.""Why not
Chapter 125"James, what do you think?" Ellen noticed James' sad expression and asked."Oh, I love it. It's a great idea," James brightened up."Are you sure?" Ellen questioned."Yes, I love it. That'd be great," James affirmed."A second double date it is then," Lana chimed in.Eric looked up from his seat with a playful jealous look. "Oh, how I wish I was younger.""Yeah, you can join us too, Mr. Wood. It's gonna be worth having the CEO and his lovely wife around," Williams said. He wanted to meet her too and if possible manipulate her."Nope, you guys should go along. I don't want to ruin your date for you. Anyway, send me your account number. Let me send 10 million dollars for you," Eric said."Of course," Williams agreed and sent his account details.Instantly, Eric sent him 15 million dollars."Sent," Eric confirmed."Received. I think I better be on my way to update the server," Williams said.“What server?” Lana asked him.“The virus just broke down the new EMC server.” Eric s
Chapter 126Alisha was surprised when Jaxon called her that evening.She was at home taking care of her dad. Meanwhile, her mom was in the living room watching TV and laughing loudly.She saw Jaxon's name on the phone and hesitated to answer, but then decided to pick up."Hello?" she said."Get dressed, we're going out on a date," Jaxon said."What?" Alisha couldn't believe it. She dropped the glass bowl she was holding and it broke into pieces.For a long time, Jaxon hadn't talked to her or taken her out on dates, but now he suddenly changed his mind."I said get dressed, we're going out on a date tonight. Can't you hear me?""I can hear you, I'm just surprised." she replied, looking at her sick dad. She didn't want to leave him, but she also didn't want to disappoint Jaxon.Jaxon ended the call, and Alisha rushed to the living room to tell her mom. "Mom, Jaxon just called me. We're going on a date.""OMG, really? That's great news! I knew Jaxon was the right guy for you. Make sure y
Chapter 127Ryan Wane burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha! Just joking." He shook Williams' hand vigorously, and Williams felt relieved. "You got me pretty good, Mr. Wane," he said with a chuckle."Hahahaha, you can say that," Ryan Wane replied. "You're Williams Jesse?""Yes, sir."“How are you doing?” Ryan Wane asked.“I'm very well, sir.”"I know you. The hero of EMC," Ryan said."How did you know about that, sir?" Williams asked, curiously."Of course, I watch the news," Ryan replied with a grin."You sure do," Williams said, nodding."Glad to see you and Lana get along well. It makes me happy," Ryan said warmly."Thank you, sir," Williams replied."So tell me about yourself" Ryan asked, shifting the conversation to Williams' personal life. He was curious to know about his daughter’s love interest.Unknown to Lana, Ryan Wane knows about her relationship with Williams and felt happy for her daughter to be in love with someone.He used to be worried that Lana would never give him
Chapter 128James drove quietly to the Princeton Manor.He was here to pick up Ellen for the date. Although he didn't feel like it at all, he had no option but to make Ellen and Lana happy.At the Princeton's Manor entrance, he was stopped by security. "Who are you, and what are you here to do?" one of the guards asked."I'm James, and I'm here to see Ellen," he replied."Okay, our lady told us that you would be coming, sir," the guard said, greeting James with respect. "Good evening, Sir."James responded with a nod and drove into the manor.Today, he will be meeting Ellen's parents, Jonathan and Helen Princeton for the first time, and he felt quite nervous.Jonathan used to be a general in the army but is now retired and is into politics as a senator, while Helen runs a big, profitable charity organization and numerous companies.The Princeton’s are among the wealthy class in the country and have been family friends to the Wanes for generations.As James parked the car, he took a de
Chapter 129 Jonathan and Helen laughed heartily as Ellen joked said that. "Just enjoy yourselves, you two," Jonathan said. "We're not intruding, just curious to know more about him," Helen added. James felt relieved that Ellen's parents were welcoming. He had been worried they wouldn't approve of him, but it seemed he was wrong. "I'm sure we'll have more time to chat later," Mrs. Helen said with a smile. "Say hi to Ryan Wane for me." "Sure thing, Mom. Dad, see you later," Ellen said, leading James towards the door. Once outside, they climbed into James' car. "Ready?" he asked Ellen. "Yeah," she replied. James started the car, and the engine roared to life. They drove for about 20 minutes until they got to the location of the restaurant. The restaurant was called City Lights Bistro. It bustled with activity as they entered. The sounds of lively chatter and laughter filled the air, accompanied by soft music emanating from speakers placed throughout the space. The décor was
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
