JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 190
Chapter 190It was around noon when Williams got back to the office. His mind was still reeling from the morning’s revelations. Without wasting any time, he headed straight to Mr. Sterling's office. He needed to inform him about the new developments and plan their next move.Williams knocked on the door and waited for the familiar "Come in" before entering. Mr. Sterling was sitting behind his large mahogany desk, going through some paperwork. He looked up as Williams entered, raising an eyebrow."What's the urgency, Williams?" Mr. Sterling asked, leaning back in his chair.Williams closed the door behind him and took a seat opposite Sterling. "We have a problem," he began, trying to keep his voice steady. "A few days back, I began suspecting that some guy called Liam Carter was onto us. I know because I saw him at the party, and he had a conversation with Alisha which made me suspect him further. After that, I began noticing that someone was trailing my car and following me everywhere

Chapter 191Just as Williams left Mr. Sterling's office, he quickly called Morris Huggo to come down to his office right away.A few minutes later, Morris knocked on the door and entered. "You wanted to see me, Mr. Sterling?""Yes, Morris, come in. I want to share a proverb with you," Mr. Sterling said, leaning back in his chair. "They say, 'The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry about how it will cross rivers.'"Morris furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't quite understand."Mr. Sterling sighed, then leaned forward, looking Morris directly in the eyes. "Tell me, Morris, what would you do if you found yourself in a room with a snake and a mouse?"Morris blinked, taken aback by the question. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Well, sir, I'd probably get rid of the snake first. It's the more immediate threat."Mr. Sterling studied Morris's face carefully. After a tense pause, he nodded. "Good answer. It shows you understand prioritizing thr

Chapter 192Meanwhile, just as Morris Huggo left, Mr. Sterling received a message from Eric Wood, the CEO, instructing him to come down to the conference room for an urgent meeting.Mr. Sterling quickly replied, "What's this about?""Just come to the conference room. It's urgent," was Eric's only response.Feeling a sense of unease, Mr. Sterling grabbed his jacket from the table and made his way to the conference room.As he entered, he saw the other board members already seated around the table: Mr. Patel, Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Jenkins, and—his heart skipped a beat—James Clarkson.Sterling's face hardened as he shook hands with the other board members, deliberately ignoring James. He took his seat at the other end of the table, his usual position as the director of the board.At the head of the table stood Eric Wood, the CEO. Eric greeted everyone, "Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming on such short notice."Mr. Sterling glanced around the table, his eyes narrowing suspiciousl

Chapter 193As soon as Mr. Sterling was back in his office, he took out his phone and dialed Williams' number."Williams," he said as soon as the call connected, "it's true. Liam Carter is onto us. He's trying to buy a share in EMC."Williams responded sharply, "And what did you do? As the director of the board, shouldn't you have put an end to it?"Mr. Sterling sighed heavily. "Every member of the board was in acceptance of it, including that little rascal James.""Shit! That's not an excuse," Williams retorted firmly. “You should have done better Mr. Sterling.”“I tried all my possible best but you know I didn't have the final say.”“I suspected this would happen.” Was Williams reply. “Liam Carter knows.”"But how was he able to find out about our operation?" Mr. Sterling quizzed, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. He moved the phone to his left ear."I should ask you that," Williams replied sharply. "The only person who knows about this is Morris. And speaking of Morris, have you q

Chapter 194James was in his office when he heard the news that a street stalker was killed at Azul Bistro yesterday.The report left him uneasy, his mind racing with questions. How could this have happened? Who would have done such a thing?He began to piece together the events from yesterday.He didn't have concrete evidence, but he knew that Liam and his friend Nathaniel had been with Alisha at the restaurant, and James couldn't shake the suspicion that everything was linked to Liam Carter.He scratched his head, deep in thought. "How does this all connect?" he murmured to himself.There was a knock on the door to his office and it creaked open, and just then, Mrs. Lee's secretary walked."Mr. Clarkson! The CEO has demanded to see you right away. He said it's urgent."James quickly got up and rushed down to Eric's office.Eric was busy drafting a legal statement.James knocked and entered. "What's going on, Eric? The secretary said it was urgent."Eric looked up briefly, then conti

Chapter 195**Same Day, 5 PM**Liam Carter and Kai Nakamura, accompanied by their security, drove to the old apartment complex to meet with Williams.The ride was a quiet one, each man lost in his own thoughts.Liam was contemplating how to approach the situation. This was his second time meeting Williams; the first had been a brief encounter. From everything Kai had told him, Liam knew that Williams was not someone to be underestimated—he was still a member of the Shadow Lotus.Kai, on the other hand, was consumed with thoughts of revenge. He couldn’t wait any longer to take down the man responsible for Master Chen's death. His mind raced with various scenarios and strategies.Just as Kai was deep in thought, Liam interrupted, “What are you thinking about?”Kai looked over at Liam, snapping out of his reverie. “Just... strategizing. Wondering if it’s the right time to confront Williams directly.”“Wait, are you out of your mind?” Liam shouted, sitting up abruptly in the moving car. “

Chapter 196Williams was already there, waiting in the old man's study, a place he specifically chose. He sat up as Liam and his security approached, a wary look in his eyes.“Mr. Carter,” Williams greeted him coolly. “I have been expecting you.”“I assume you have questions.” Was Liam's cold response.Williams nodded, his expression serious. “I do. And I expect answers.”Liam smirked slightly. “Then let’s not waste any more time.”Williams stood up and picked up his dagger that was lying on the table. He rolled it in his hands and then stylishly walked towards Liam Carter, standing a few inches from him to sense if Liam was afraid.Liam's security responded abruptly by pointing their guns at Williams.Liam signaled for them to calm down, and they obeyed.Williams laughed, looking at them. He knew he could take both of them down in an instant.He turned back to face Liam seriously. "Why have you been following me?""Hahaha!" Liam laughed hard at the question. "You see, Williams, there

Chapter 197Williams watched through the window as the car pulled onto the road and drove off.'A storm is coming?' he thought to himself. 'What could Liam possibly mean by that?'He concluded it might be an empty boast but couldn't deny the fact that he sometimes got the chills that something grave was coming his way. Still, he was certain that Liam's threats were just bluster.Although Liam was the heir to the second richest family in Emerald Falls, Williams knew they were still far off from the Wanes. He could possibly hack into Carter Comb, Liam Carter's company, with the given resources and time, he thought.In fact, he decided to do that as soon as he got to the office. He would demand some money from Mr. Sterling to get the necessary software and hack into Carter Comb right away.He was still thinking when the old man walked back into the house. Williams had used his ESU agent disguise as an influence and told him beforehand to get away from the house to avoid hearing what they
