JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 214
Chapter 214Lana was instructing her PA in the reception when she caught sight of James walking in. Without another word, she dismissed her assistant and almost ran towards James, a big smile spreading across her face. She hugged him tightly.“James!” She exclaimed as James hugged her back.“Congratulations on winning the lawsuit!” she exclaimed.James grinned and teased her, “You look like someone going on a date with the sun.”Lana laughed and playfully spanked him. “Oh, stop it, you flatterer!” she said, leading him towards her office.They reached her office, and Lana gestured for him to sit down. “Make yourself comfortable. Would you like some wine?”James began to respond, “Sure, but—”But Lana was already in the fridge, pulling out a bottle of wine. She poured two glasses and handed one to James.“Here’s to your success,” she said, raising her glass.James clinked his glass with hers, “And here’s to family.”They both took a sip, and Lana settled into her chair, still beaming.

Chapter 215Williams walked into the office and saw Lana standing close to James at her desk.When Lana saw him, she walked up to him, greeted him, and hugged him passionately. "I've missed you," she said softly.Williams returned the hug, holding her romantically. "I've missed you too," he replied.James, still in the room, looked away, pretending not to notice their interaction. He picked up a pen from her desk and began to fidget with it.Williams apologized, "I'm sorry I haven't made time for you lately. Work has been hectic." As he spoke, he stole a glance at James, who continued to look away.Lana reassured him, "It's fine. I understand. I've been busy with work too, likewise James."There was an awkward silence in the room. Lana always knew there was some sort of competition between them. She understood that her boyfriend Williams and James had no love lost for each other, and she felt guilty for not trying to fix it.Lana smiled, "Good to hear.” She cleared her throat and cont

Chapter 216Outside, James met Williams pacing around in the waiting room. When he saw James, Williams turned around and smirked, deciding it was time to continue provoking him.“Leaving so soon, James?” Williams said with a snort, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.James ignored him and walked towards the exit, brushing past Williams. Williams, however, wasn’t about to let it go. He clasped his hands behind his back and followed James.“Running away, are we? Just like you always do,” Williams taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.James stopped abruptly, his fingers curling into fists. He took a deep breath and turned to face Williams, his eyes cold and hard. “What do you want, Williams?”Williams laughed, a harsh, grating sound that echoed in the hallway. “Just wanted to talk. You know, man to man. Or should I say, man to whatever it is you are.”James clenched his jaw, fighting to keep his composure. “I have nothing to say to you,” he said, his voice tight.Williams

Chapter 217Williams drove quickly to the location Mr. Sterling had sent him. The destination was an old, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.The structure loomed menacingly, its weathered walls covered in graffiti and ivy, the broken windows creating an eerie atmosphere.The air was thick with the stench of decay and mildew. Rusted metal beams and stacks of discarded crates littered the area, casting long shadows in the dim light filtering through the cracks.As he stepped inside, the faint sound of water dripping echoed through the vast emptiness.He saw Mr. Sterling standing with Morris Huggo and a group of thugs who were lounging nearby, smoking and chatting amongst themselves.Their laughter and gruff voices filled the air, adding to the sense of menace. The thugs were a rough-looking bunch, their faces hardened by a life of crime.In the center of the room, Harris Drums lay sprawled on the cold, hard floor, tied up and barely conscious. Blood stained his clothes, and h

Chapter 218*NEXT DAY*CARTER COMBKai briskly walked into Liam's office, finding him on the phone with Alisha. Liam was smiling sheepishly and said, "You're welcome."Kai frowned and signaled to Liam that he had an urgent message. Liam, noticing Kai's urgency, said to Alisha over the phone, "One moment, I'll call you back," before disconnecting the line. He turned to Kai and asked, "What is it, Kai? You were interrupting something big here.""You're busy flirting around while the security of Carter Comb is under siege," Kai replied, his tone sharp."What do you mean?" Liam asked, getting up from his seat and walking over to the window. He looked through to catch the sunlight in his eyes and then turned back to face Kai.Kai shook his head in disappointment. "Someone tried to hack into Carter Comb. They’re still trying, using the most sophisticated software in the world. If not for my intervention and updates, all your information and data would have been out in the open.""What?" Lia

Chapter 219Eric sat at his desk, his fingers drumming nervously on the polished wood surface. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that had settled in his stomach after his conversation with Liam Carter. The phone call had been brief, but the implications were heavy. Liam had threatened him for something he hadn't done, and now he felt cornered.The legality of the situation was undeniable. He had signed a document that left him vulnerable to Liam's manipulations. The weight of that realization pressed down on him like a leaden blanket.Eric sighed deeply and leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling as if it might offer some divine inspiration. What was Liam planning? And more importantly, what could he do to protect himself? The room was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the desk.After a few moments of contemplation, Eric reached for his phone and quickly dialed James' number. He needed to talk this through wit

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
