JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 97
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!…The sound of an emergency alarm and red light filled the air.“What's happening?” Eric asked again as he stepped out of his office.“Another virus attack,” Ms Hart, Eric's secretary said as she ran towards Eric.“This is the fifth in about two weeks. What's going on really?” Eric lamented.Ms. Hart said nothing and just stared on the floor.“And what's the technical department doing about it?” Eric asked.“They are doing all they can to get it out but it's still not going out.”“Is Williams with them?”“Oh no. He hasn't returned from break yet.”“Please get me on the phone with him. He's the only one capable of getting this virus out.” Eric said and walked back into his office.Ms. Hart quickly got Williams on the line with Eric.“Hello Williams.”“Hello, Mr. Wood. What's good?” Williams said lazily from the other end."Williams, I need you to come down to the office right away. We have another virus attack.""Another virus attack? Are you serious?""Yes, unfo

"Williams, The CEO wants to see you.” Ms. Hart, Eric's secretary said and smiled at Williams. She was also proud of him and has made up her mind to date him if he wants to.“Okay…” Williams said and saw Alisha. His face changed because he knew her next move.“Hey, Cuz! You did really great.” Alisha said and tried to hug Williams and prove to Anna Davis and the other ladies that Williams is her cousin for real.But Williams pushed her away, irritably. “Do I know you? Excuse me!” Williams said and turned around. He warned her not to reveal his identity but she wouldn't listen.Anna Davis and the other ladies burst out laughing again.“See, I told you guys, Alisha is a whore.” Anna Davis said.“Slut!” Someone called out again.“This lady never stays at a place. She once dated a janitor and divorced him and then is dating Jaxon. Now she wants to have a taste of Williams too.”“Truly she has no shame.”Alisha's face turned red with embarrassment. She hid her face and was almost close to te

That evening, Williams got dressed and drove to Diamond Ville, where Eric lived. When he arrived at the gate, a security guard stopped him."Who are you?" the security guard asked."I'm Williams Jesse. I'm here to see Mr. Wood," Williams replied."Do you have an appointment?" the guard questioned."No," Williams admitted."Then you need to leave. You can't see him without an appointment," the guard insisted.Williams didn't want to give up so easily. "Listen, I understand the rules, but this is important. If the virus in EMC's system isn't stopped, it could ruin everything. It might even mean you won't get your salary. Worse, you could lose your job."The security guard paused, he was unsure of what to do next. Finally, he said, "Okay, wait here. I'll call Mr. Wood and see what he says."The guard called Eric and explained the situation. "This man, Williams Jesse, is here without an appointment. He's talking about a virus at EMC," the guard said.Eric was hesitant at first. After a mo

"Oh! That? Oh, that was Lana Wane, you know, Ryan Wane's daughter. Sometimes, you have to tell a little lie to women, or they get upset," Williams said, trying to hide the real reason he lied to Lana. The truth of the matter is that he doesn't want her to know about his discussion with Eric. “Are you guys dating?” Eric asked Williams. "Well, sort of. We're just getting to know each other. Talking stage." Williams said. "Oh wow. That's cool and nice," Eric replied. They sat silent for awhile, each deep in his own thoughts before Williams broke the silence. “Forgive my manners Mr. Wood. But I should have asked about your family. You know that's the first time I should have asked you after you singlehandedly rescued them from Gomer Frenté and his men. You saved them from that kidnapper, Gomer Frenté, right? What's the update of the matter? Any clue as to who sent them?" Williams asked. When Williams asked about the kidnap, Eric realized he was in the middle of something before Will

Chapter 101The next day, Eric called for an urgent meeting of the board of directors. All the key stakeholders and board members gathered in the conference room.Eric welcomed everyone with a firm handshake and introduced them to each other as needed."Good morning, everyone," Eric began, addressing the room when everyone had settled. "As you all know, we've been facing a persistent threat from a virus that's been affecting our company's systems for weeks now."He gestured to a young man sitting at the table. "I'd like to introduce Williams Jesse, who has been instrumental in neutralizing the virus and safeguarding our systems."Williams nodded politely and waved to the room.Eric continued, "Williams has been working tirelessly to identify and eliminate the source of the virus, and his efforts have been commendable. However, we still need to address the root cause of these attacks to prevent future incidents."The room erupted with murmuring from all corners.“Now, I'd like for Will

Chapter 102“Promotions are done with time, Williams. You can't just wake up one morning and become a head of any department. Besides, we have Sam as the head of the technical department.” Eric said.“You're right. But, if we keep considering this we may lose everything we all worked for over the years. So as the Director of the board, I want to make Williams the Head of the technical department.” Mr. Sterling took the bull by the horn.There was silence in the room. Nobody spoke for almost a minute and then Eric broke the silence.“It's a good idea but how about Sam?”“What about him?” Mr. Sterling asked rudely.“I think Sam is not fit to be the Head of the Technical department because if he was, he should have been here, instead of me.” Williams said.“So is everyone agreeing to this?” Mr. Sterling said and looked around the room.The board members looked at each other, and then began nodding one after the other.None of them dared to object Mr. Sterling's proposal and they thought

Chapter 103Lana had finally convinced Williams to go on a double date with her, Ellen, and James.According to what she told Williams, James wanted to make things right after messing up their last dinner date.That evening, She was a bit nervous but excited.Not just about the date but also because Williams told her that he has been promoted.She and Ellen wore their best dresses, while James and Williams chose smart casual outfits.James picked a nice Italian restaurant downtown, known for its cozy atmosphere and great food.When they met outside the restaurant, Lana and Ellen greeted each other with warm smiles while James and Williams shook hands and tried to leave any awkwardness behind.“You know, last time, you refused to shake my hands, James. I wonder what happened now.” Williams said and everyone burst out laughing.“I guess I have repented.” James said sarcastically and they all laughed again. But William was faking his.As they sat down at their reserved table, the waiter

Chapter 104"Oh yes, Lana is my boss, as you know I'm her chauffeur and I happened to also become friends with her friend Ellen so I must say I'm a lucky man.”“Oh really?”“Yes”"You said you're a chauffeur, is that the only work you do?"The question hit James like a thunderbolt. But before he could answer. Lana covered up for him."Yes" But the answer only betrayed James further because William knows about him from Elson."Oh really?" Williams said sarcastically. "You must have a twin without your knowledge at EMC, because I saw someone looking like you who works there as a janitor. Williams mocked and laughed.James was at a loss for words. "Oh that. I work part-time. “You do part time? But EMC doesn't accept part-time employees. Your story is not quite adding up here lol.”"I um,...” James said and trailed off."Well, James is not a full time employee because he doesn't have the certificate to become a staff at EMC. He was only employed there because he once helped Mr. Wood, and

Chapter 458: Shadows on the Road
Chapter 458: Shadows on the RoadAfter exiting Liam’s office, Kai walked briskly to the garage, his every step echoing on the cool concrete floor.The dim light of the evening made the space feel quiet and secretive. Reaching his car—a sleek, dark sedan that had seen many important missions—he opened the back seat carefully. Without hesitation, he dropped the laptop onto the passenger seat. It was the upgraded parasite virus program, the tool of deception that now weighed on his conscience.From the front seat, Lina turned her head and watched him with wide, curious eyes as Kai closed the back door. He then climbed into the driver’s seat, adjusting himself before starting the engine. Lina remained in the front passenger seat. She looked at him and then back at the laptop with a mixture of admiration and slight impatience.Kai glanced at her and smiled teasingly.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked, her tone light and casual, though her eyes revealed hints of seriousness.Kai's li
Chapter 457: Unraveling the Code
Chapter 457: Unraveling the CodeAfter Williams departed, Liam stood alone in his expansive office, the city skyline stretching out behind him through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The laptop sat ominously on his sleek, mahogany desk.Despite his position of power, Liam felt a twinge of unease. High-tech intricacies were not his forte, and the cascading lines of code on the screen seemed as indecipherable as an ancient script.Furrowing his brow, Liam reached for his phone and dialed Kai’s number. The phone barely rang once before Kai’s calm voice answered.“Kai, it’s Liam. Williams has delivered the program of the virus,” Liam began, his tone measured but with an undertone of urgency. “I need you to come by and take a look.”Kai’s response was immediate. “Understood. I’ll be there shortly.”True to his word, within minutes, Kai was at Liam’s door. He entered with a purposeful stride, his lean frame exuding an air of quiet confidence. Dressed in his usual understated black coat, Kai’s
Chapter 456: The Deception Unfolds
Chapter 456: The Deception UnfoldsLiam’s office was spacious, modern room filled with sleek furniture and panoramic views of the city as it has always been. Natural light spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the polished desk and the abstract art on the walls. Liam stood near the window when he saw Williams enter. His eyes, sharp and calculating, immediately focused on the man before him.“Williams,” Liam said in a measured tone, turning from the window to face him. “So, have you brought everything I asked for?”Williams nodded and, without wasting a moment, set his laptop down on the large mahogany table at the center of the room. The laptop was his trusted tool—a machine he had worked on for many sleepless nights. It contained his latest creation: the fake parasite virus, a sophisticated program designed to destabilize the control unit of EMC without the security department ever noticing.“Yes, Liam,” Williams replied confidently. “I have everything ready.”Li
Chapter 455: Fractured Loyalties
Chapter 455: Fractured LoyaltiesWilliams stepped into Liam’s high-rise executive office lounge with quiet confidence. The polished marble floors and large glass windows gave the room an air of authority. However, what greeted him was far from the quiet corporate setting he expected. In the middle of the office, voices rose in anger and frustration.At a long, modern table stood Kate, her face flushed with fury. Across from her, her daughter Alisha, with worry in her eyes, tried to calm her mother down. The tension in the room was palpable.“Mother, why are you fighting with a colleague?” Alisha asked, her voice trembling slightly as she attempted to reason with Kate.Kate’s eyes blazed with anger. “Don’t tell me what to do, Alisha,” she snapped. “This is not about you. This is about standing up for myself. Maya called me a ghost worker, and I will not tolerate such insults.”Alisha’s brow furrowed. “But Mother, fighting is not the answer. Why not talk to her instead of this chaos?”K
Chapter 454: The Parasite Deception
Chapter 454: The Parasite DeceptionThat afternoon, the corridors of EMC were unusually quiet. The polished floors and soft hum of distant voices provided a calm backdrop to a storm that was brewing behind closed doors.Williams Jesse strode down the hall with a determined look on his face. Clutched tightly in his hand was his sleek laptop—a tool that had become his constant companion for many sleepless nights. He had been working into the late hours for days on end, perfecting a dangerous piece of software: a fake virus, one that could serve as a mask for their true financial schemes. Now, at long last, he believed he was successful.Williams reached the heavy oak door of Mr. Sterling’s private office. He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, then knocked sharply. The sound of his knock echoed in the quiet hallway. The door opened, and Mr. Sterling, looked up from a stack of documents on his mahogany desk. His eyes, cold and calculating, studied Williams as he stepped into the r
Chapter 453: The Weighing of Power
Chapter 453: The Weighing of PowerEric Wood sat behind his large mahogany desk in his office, a room filled with soft light and quiet determination.As the CEO of EMC, he carried a heavy burden. He had spent many sleepless nights weighing the conflicting pressures of his role. Today, his mind was occupied with thoughts of loyalty, secrecy, and the dangerous game that was being played inside the company.Eric knew well that he had a secret alliance with James Wane—an alliance that gave him access to confidential information and a chance to steer the company away from disaster. James had told him everything about Liam’s latest move: Liam had sent his personal assistant, Nathaniel Grey, to hire a private investigator to dig into every detail about Lana Wane. Eric frowned as he recalled the conversation. James was convinced that Liam’s agenda was far larger than simply taking over EMC. Liam was obsessed with meeting the true owner of EMC—a title that, in secret, belonged to James himself
Chapter 452: The Breaking Point
Chapter 452: The Breaking PointNoon at EMC’s business department was like any other—employees buried in their screens, answering emails, processing client requests, and ensuring deals were moving forward. Phones rang, fingers tapped against keyboards, and conversations buzzed in low murmurs across the open office.Among them sat Kate Carl, arms crossed, her expression sour as she stared blankly at her computer screen. She had never imagined herself working here, trapped in a dull routine of reports and calls. If things had gone as planned, Liam would have taken care of everything, and she wouldn’t have to pretend to be busy at a job she despised. The thought of James Clarkson still fueled her resentment.“That bastard,” she muttered under her breath, dragging her mouse across the screen, barely skimming the details of an email request before hammering out a quick, dismissive response.She pressed send without a second thought and leaned back in her chair, exhaling heavily.Her phone

Chapter 451: Conspiracies and CounterplotsMeanwhile, a few floors below Liam’s high-rise executive office, James sat alone in his own quiet office.The room was filled with the soft hum of computers and the faint rustle of papers as he tried to focus on his work. Yet his thoughts kept drifting back to Lana’s. He remembered her clear tone and the way she had spoken about Liam’s. “He wants to meet with you so bad, cuz. He’s obsessed.” she had said.The words echoed in his mind. James knew very well that Liam’s desire to meet the true owner of EMC was no mere obsession. It was a game—a dangerous one.Ever since Liam became co-owner of EMC. He had sent a couple of emails asking for a meeting with the secret true owner of EMC, who was no other person than James, unknown to him.James leaned back in his chair, staring at the muted light coming through the window. He tried to force himself to focus on the spreadsheets and reports spread out before him, but the memory of Lana’s encounter wit
Chapter 450: The Window of Challenge
Chapter 450: The Window of ChallengeLiam stood alone by the tall, floor-to-ceiling glass window in his office. The cool light of the late afternoon filtered in, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The view of the city below seemed endless, a sea of tiny lights and moving shapes that barely registered in his mind as he paced back and forth. His heart beat fast and his thoughts churned as he replayed the events of the past hour in his head.Just moments before, Alisha had left the office after their intimate moment. That brief encounter, full of heat and passion, had left Liam with mixed feelings. Now, as he paced by the window, his mind was drawn away from the softness of those moments to a much harsher reality: the challenge that had just been thrown at him. Lana Wane’s unexpected visit had sparked something inside him. It was as if her bold defiance had lit a fire that both fueled his ambition and stoked his insecurities about the Wane legacy.Liam’s eyes fixed on the sk
