Chapter 139 Williams turned to James, a solemn expression on his face. "James, we're here finalizing the arrest of your boss, Mrs. Lee. She's responsible for all the virus attacks at EMC. It's a serious matter," he explained, gesturing towards the officers. He was doing all that to make James believe he was telling the truth. Instead, James just snubbed him. With the way he snubbed Williams, the police officers had to interrogate him. “Are you with them or without?" The police officers asked James, eyeing him suspiciously. “Without.” James said. "This is not visiting time, so go, unless you have some cash to appease me," the police officer whispered, eyeing James with suspicion. James frowned at the insinuation. "Do you want to take a bribe from me?" he retorted. Everyone present at the station looked up at the police who went dumb with embarrassment. Mr. Sterling cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the officers. He wanted to shift the attention to James. "Ahem! Office

Chapter 140After James left the station, Mr. Sterling and Williams began to discuss among themselves. "Morris told me this boy can really fight. It's like he has some balls," Mr. Sterling remarked, breaking the silence."Yes, but he's still nothing much to me," Williams replied dismissively. "I set him up that other night just to see if he really can fight, and I saw his moves. He's not really a great fighter, so there's nothing to worry about."Mr. Sterling nodded thoughtfully and paced around the room. "Impressive, but how was he able to take on six burly men? We should consider eliminating him. I feel like he's a threat.""No need for that, Mr. Sterling. You know our work mostly has to do with brains, not brawn, when it comes to this operation. So don't bother about eliminating him now. We'll deal with him if he tries to interfere with our business in the future," Williams assured him. He doesn't want to eliminate James. Atleast, not now. He wants to watch him suffer and see the

Chapter 142Just as James left, Eric's phone rang. He answered, and Mr. Sterling's voice was on the other end."Mr. Wood, we need to talk," Mr. Sterling said, his voice firm."Yes, What is it, Mr. Sterling? Any new information?" Eric asked. His mind is still on the argument with James."We need to call a board meeting for tomorrow to discuss the future of EMC," Mr. Sterling said. "Specifically, who will take over Mrs. Lee's position."Eric's eyes widened in surprise. "Already? But she hasn't been proven guilty yet...""The evidence is there. There's no way the court will plead her innocent. We can't wait any longer. We need a permanent solution before things get out of hand," Mr. Sterling said."But who will take her place?" Eric asked, knowing that James would never agree to this."I will. And I want you to prepare a report on the current state of EMC and recommendations for Mrs. Lee's replacement," Mr. Sterling instructed.Eric nodded, even though he knew Mr. Sterling couldn't see h

Chapter 143"I want to say that it is not legal for this man to take the position based on the company's law and legal information," James said."As how? Did you drink before coming to this place?" Mr. Sterling asked him.The board members whispered among themselves."I said it, this young man doesn't have respect. He's arrogant because he got promoted for doing what he's supposed to do and now he thinks it's a big deal," Mrs. Jenkins said."When was the last time you all checked the rules of the company?" James asked."And how's that supposed to matter now?" Mr. Patel replied. “We're in the middle of something serious.”"Because changes have been made to it," James said."And how did you know all these things?" Thompson asked. "You are just a nobody."James smiled and adjusted his tie. "Well, before Mrs. Lee was wrongly accused and imprisoned, she told me everything I needed to know about the company. All the legal information.” He looked around the room and shifted his gaze to Mr. S

Chapter 144But James had other plans. He interrupted Eric by shouting into the phone “Mrs. Lee, please the future of EMC depends on it. I know you are feeling bad for everything but I want you to know that not everyone at EMC is behind all this.”Mrs. Lee's solemn demeanor dissolved as she heard James voice, “Oh James! Is that you?” Mrs. Lee asked.“Yea it's me. Please do the right thing by choosing a replacement till everything is resolved.”“Mrs. Lee, it's not a matter of choice now. If you fail to pick a replacement, that means all the allegations levied against you are true. So to be on the safe side, choose a replacement.” Eric said.Mrs. Lee went silent for a couple moments and contemplated the whole situation carefully. She considered James' plea because James has been the only one that stood up for her throughout the whole saga.“Choose already! No time.” Mrs. Jenkins interrupted the silence.“Yes! Tell us who among the board members you are picking as your replacement.” Mr.

Chapter 145Not long after, news of James becoming Mrs. Lee's assistant spread throughout the company."OMG, how is that possible?" the junior staff gossiped."They said he was appointed by Mrs. Lee herself.""But how? Is she not in jail?" One of them asked."Yes, she is, but I don't know how they could allow that." His fellow worker replied.Elson, who was passing by overheard the conversation and intervened, "Don't you guys know that this so-called James is working with Mrs. Lee? They're both working with the hackers and have a powerful figure backing them up. It won't be long before Williams gets evidence against him.""Hmmm," one janitor said. “So that's it ehh?”"Don't talk bad now. The reason is that the real owner of EMC made some new rules that allow suspects to choose their replacement, and Mrs. Lee is now a suspect.""But how?" They were shocked.Somehow, Williams got hold of the news from Elson and rushed down to Mr. Sterling's office to confront him.According to their pla

Chapter 146Before noon, Kate abandoned her husband and rushed down to EMC to confront James after Williams told her that James was responsible for the Enron scam."Where's the thief! He scammed my family and now he thinks he can go scout free?""What's happening, madam?" one security guard asked. "Calm down.""Where's James Clarkson! He is a scam. My family is wretched now because of him. He must face the consequences. He is a liar and a scammer."By this time, people began to gather to see what was going on."Huh? Did she say Mrs. Lee's replacement is a scammer?”"Wait, James Clarkson? The new assistant to Mrs. Lee?" someone in the crowd asked in disbelief."I heard he was appointed by Mrs. Lee herself. How could he be involved in a scam?" another person wondered aloud."It doesn't make sense. Maybe there's some misunderstanding," a bystander suggested.Kate's voice rose above the murmurs of the crowd. "I don't care what anyone says! He ruined my family, and I won't rest until he pa
