JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 12
After the third day of being in hospital, James decided to leave even though he was not fully recovered. His body was still weak from the injuries, but he wanted to deal with those who neglected and harmed him.Lana advises him to take more time to recover, but James is resolute. He believes that those responsible for his condition are free, and he needs to teach them a lesson."I can't wait any longer. They're out there, free, thinking they've won. I need to get them arrested and teach them a lesson.""But you need more time to heal. Rushing back now might not be the best idea," she advised with genuine worry in her eyes.James wanted to heed her advice but at the same time, he thought it would make his whole plan not work.He needed to be there to witness the Sterling's arrest."Besides, Eric needs help. He cannot run the company alone. I need to assist him."Lana sighed, understanding the fire within James. She knew how stubborn he could be when it came to decision-making. And so
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 13
It was Jaxon who asked James where he was going, and as James turned, he caught sight of Jaxon and Alisha approaching his direction. The two were holding hands like teenage lovers on a first date.Jaxon and Alisha were surprised to see him back so soon, they thought he was going to spend about three months in the hospital to get fully recovered.Alisha didn't even care to visit him or ask about his health when he was in the hospital. Her mind had been poisoned against him, and her hatred for him had increased."Didn't you hear him, you bone-head? Or are you becoming deaf now!"James responded calmly to them, "As you can see, I've been offered a job here, and I'm just resuming work."Alisha, who was now the manager of the company, was quick to question him. "Speaking of work, do you know what time it is? Are you supposed to be coming to work at this late hour?"She didn't bother checking her watch, all she wanted was to mistreat James. He was now working under her, she seized the oppor
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 14
Meanwhile, in the Carl family house, Pa Aaron and Ma Pat had gathered the entire Carl family and their well wishers to celebrate and honor Alisha for her promotion at work.They wanted to thank her because Jaxon's father, Mr. Thomas Sterling, had made a generous promise. He guaranteed employment for every Carl family member, regardless of their qualifications. The catch was that they would become "ghost workers" and receive a monthly paycheck without actually working.This promise from Mr. Thomas Sterling was the talk of the family, and they eagerly anticipated the financial benefits that would soon come their way.This would be the highest achievement that anyone from the Carl family has ever gotten.And in no time, their family social status will increase in Emerald Falls.Every member of Carl's family was present for the celebration.The big room where they had the celebration was all lit up with cozy, yellow lights hanging from the ceiling. There were these long tables with clean

"Why are you calling me by this time, you godforsaken old cargo?" Mr. Sterling sneered, with disdain over the phone and loudspeaker.Everyone could hear him loud and clear. Pa Aaron's heart sank as he heard Mr. Thomas Sterling's voice thundering through the phone. The powerful businessman was clearly furious. What could have gone wrong?Pa Aaron felt very embarrassed but knew he had to respond with humility to salvage the situation. "I... I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Sterling. It's just that everyone here was getting impatient, and I thought… I thought that…"Mr. Sterling interrupted him, not willing to hear what he wanted to say. "You thought? You thought?! Do you know what you and your beggar family have caused my family?"The family members seated in a corner couldn't understand what was happening and why Mr. Thomas Sterling was so furious with their father, Pa Aaron."I deeply regret any inconvenience this call must have caused, you, Mr. Sterling.""And you still dare call to invite me

James kept walking closer to where every member of the Carl family was seated.He was beside himself with joy as he saw the gloomy faces of everyone. He smiled inwardly to himself.But before he could get any closer, Henry got up and tried to push him."Hey son of a b*tch what are you doing here? You have got guts to be here right now."James quickly held his hands and pushed him aside and proceeded to where everyone was seated.Henry staggered and then fell to the ground because of how hard James pushed him."How dare you push my son, you jerk?" Kate cried out. "You have the guts to lay your filthy hands on him…"Kpai! She slapped James across the face but James was too quick and dodge the slap."Yes, and I'll do it again." James interrupted her and continued to walk towards them.The remaining people who were still around were stunned, and those who were deciding to leave decided to wait and watch how everything would play out."Look! It's the Carl family's used to be good for not
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 17
All the men in the Carl's family gathered around James, ready to show him a lesson he would never forget in his entire existence, even in his next life.But unknown to them, James had managed to signal the head of the ESU agents who was outside the gate with his companions. Quickly, they made their way into the main compound where everyone was. "Stop!"A commanding voice suddenly interrupted the whole members of the Carl family who had now hooked James by the collar. Everyone turned to see what was happening, and they were surprised and at the same time shocked to their bone marrow! The violence came to a halt as they all realized who the unexpected visitors were.ESU Agents? Their sudden appearance at this moment only means that there is going to be more trouble! Could it be that Mr Sterling had sent them to get the whole family arrested?The few remaining guests couldn't believe their eyes. It was evident that the Carl family had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble for cross
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 18
As early as 5 am, James prepared and left for work. He was so keen on keeping up with this game he was playing that he didn't want anything to jeopardize it.When James got to work, all eyes fell on him. The workers at Emerald Multisource Cooperation began to wonder how he was able to challenge both the Carl's and the Sterlings, and get their sons arrested.To some, it was practically impossible. 'How could he possibly do it?' 'it seems he has an external family backing him up. But who? While to the other workers, he was indirectly digging his own grave. No one ever crosses the Carl and goes scout free.James passed through the gate and tried as much as possible to avoid having an encounter with the two security guards. Luckily for him, they just stared roughly at him and let him in. He smiled at them but they looked away. 'Perhaps, the news of yesterday's arrest must have gotten to them. How news flies'.He got to the dressing room and put on his work clothes before joining the oth
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 19
"Big Mom, do you have a business with this Moron?" One of the security guards asked Kate, trying to sound concerned."Did he offend you?" The other one asked."Yes. He got my son arrested." She replied sharply, not wanting to continue the conversation."Damn! This moron is really getting on our nerves. How dare he? Doesn't he know who you're?""First, it's the Sterlings, now It's the Carls." The first guard said to his fellow."Mom, how can we help?""Just take me to him or show me where he could be right now." Kate said, growing impatient already. "I'll deal with him myself."Kate knows them better than anyone. They never really cared about anyone, only feigning concern to get favor from people. And she's not ready for their facade and fake praises and likes."Ok Mom. Follow me."Kate followed him and he led her through the compound and into the company's main building.People who recognized her began to whisper among themselves."Look! It's the Managers Mom.""Who knows what she's c

Chapter 443: The evidence
Chapter 443: The evidenceThe air in Liam’s executive lounge was thick with tension. Williams sat stiffly, arms crossed, while Mr. Sterling and Morris Huggo remained equally silent, their expressions carefully guarded, waiting for Liam to continue.Across from them, Liam leaned casually against his desk, swirling the remnants of his wine, while Kai stood beside him, arms folded, his sharp gaze never leaving their faces.“You know,” Liam continue, voice smooth but laced with amusement, “I had a feeling you’d try something, but an assassination attempt? That’s bold—even for you, Williams.”Williams scoffed. “This is ridiculous. If you had any real proof aside from these grainy images, we wouldn’t be having this conversation—you’d have us locked up or worse.”Kai let out a low chuckle and pulled out another folder from inside his jacket. With a deliberate motion, he tossed it onto the table between them. “Take a good look,” Kai said, voice deceptively calm.Williams leaned forward slight

Chapter 442: A Meeting After a MeetingWilliams stepped into the executive lounge, his sharp eyes immediately catching sight of Alisha Carl at the secretary’s desk. His brows knitted slightly. Alisha? He hadn’t expected to see her here, especially not in this position.“Alisha?” he called, pausing in front of her desk.Alisha looked up from the stack of documents she had been reviewing, a smile breaking across her face. “Oh, Williams!” she greeted warmly. “Good to see you back. I tried calling your hospital, but they said you weren’t taking visitors.”Williams gave a nonchalant shrug. “Yeah, I needed a moment to myself.”Alisha tilted her head slightly, studying him. “Glad to have you back. Hope you’re doing okay now. Sorry about your accident—” she smirked playfully, “—but I have to say, you really do have a habit of getting yourself into trouble.”Williams feigned a smile, though inwardly, he was already irritated. He didn’t have the patience for small talk today. His mind was preoc
Chapter 441: A Meeting before a Meeting
Chapter 441: A Meeting before a MeetingIt was Thursday, 8:00 AM. Williams stepped out of his sleek black car, straightening his suit as he glanced up at the EMC skyscraper. The towering glass building gleamed under the early morning sun, a silent testament to power, control, and hidden corruption. Today was not just any day—it was a crucial day. His long-awaited meeting with Liam loomed over him, and although Williams was no stranger to tension, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this meeting could go sideways if they weren’t careful.It had been days since his accident and hospitalization. The injuries were mostly healed, but the consequences of his absence were still unfolding. As he stepped inside the building, a wave of recognition washed over him.As he walked past the reception area, he noticed Sophia Carl, his step-cousin, sitting behind the desk with a sullen, lazy expression. He couldn’t help but wonder when a member of the Carl family had started working at EMC.Several sen

Chapter 440: Shifting PlansWilliams leaned back in the plush leather seat of his car, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the steering wheel as he stared out at the neon glow of Emerald Falls. The city hummed with life, but his thoughts were far from the bustling streets. It had been weeks since he last saw Kane, Tom, and Dorian—weeks spent recovering from his injuries, handling personal affairs, and, most importantly, reworking his strategy.His hospitalization had been both a setback and a blessing in disguise. It gave him time to lay low, but it also meant he had to rely on others to maintain control in his absence. His orders before disappearing had been clear: Do not touch Jack and Jaxon. He had no intention of letting his assets go to waste. Jaxon’s father, Thomas Sterling, was too valuable, and keeping the boy alive meant keeping a financial lifeline open. That patience, however, had begun to wear thin.Williams had ensured Kane, Tom, and Dorian were taken care of during
Chapter 439: Power Play
Chapter 439: Power PlayEric opened the heavy wooden door and stepped inside Liam’s office. The scent of aged whiskey and fine leather filled the air, mixing with the faint aroma of the cologne Liam always wore. As expected, Liam was in his favorite position—standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling glass window, staring out over the city skyline. A glass of deep red wine was balanced in his hand, swirling gently as he moved his wrist in slow, deliberate motions.Eric shut the door behind him and took a deep breath before speaking. “Liam.”Liam didn’t turn around. He simply took a sip of his wine, savoring the taste before exhaling softly. “Eric,” he responded in a calm but detached tone.Eric took a step forward, his hands in his pockets as he studied Liam’s posture. “We need to talk.”Liam finally turned, a slight smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “Oh? About what?” he asked, though his tone suggested he already knew.Eric didn’t waste time. “Your recent decisions. The
Chapter 438: The Carl Family’s Return
Chapter 438: The Carl Family’s ReturnThe tension at EMC was thick as news of the Carl family’s return spread like wildfire. Employees whispered in hushed tones as they watched the once-untouchable family members shuffle through the hallways, no longer carrying the air of arrogance they once did.“I can’t believe they’re back and not jailed,” one employee muttered near the breakroom.“And not just back—actually working,” another added with a smirk.For months, the Carls had been ghost employees, collecting salaries and perks without lifting a finger. Many had expected EMC to throw the book at them, maybe even see them behind bars. But instead, Liam did something far better—he used his power to pardon them of their misuse of power, their privileges, and their status.Now, they had to actually work for what they once took for granted.At Human Resources, Janet Moore, Liam’s former secretary, sat behind her desk, skimming through the Carl family’s files with a sour expression.She had br

Chapter 437: A Dangerous PlanWilliams Jesse sat in the plush leather chair across from Mr. Sterling, his fingers drumming against the armrest. The dim lighting of the study cast deep shadows across the mahogany walls, giving the room an air of quiet menace.Mr. Sterling, as always, was composed, dressed impeccably in a dark gray suit, his silver hair neatly combed back. His sharp blue eyes were locked onto Williams, unwavering.Finally, he leaned forward, elbows resting on the desk, fingers interlaced. His voice was calm, measured.“So, what exactly happened to you on the day of your hospitalization?”Williams exhaled sharply, shaking his head before meeting Sterling’s gaze.“Kai Nakamura happened,” he said.Sterling arched a brow but remained silent, waiting for him to continue.Williams shifted in his seat. He told him everything about Kai's true identity, and how he has been disguising as Nathaniel Grey the whole time “He’s back, and he wants revenge. He ambushed me in the restroo

Chapter 436: A Reckoning ApproachesWilliams groaned as he blinked awake, the morning light filtering through his blinds, casting soft, golden streaks across his ceiling. His muscles still ached from the injuries he had sustained, but the pain was manageable now. He stretched his arm out, reaching for his phone on the nightstand.The screen lit up with a notification. New Email: Alisha Carl, secretary of the co-president of EMC – Meeting Invitation by Liam Carter, co-president of EMC.Williams frowned, sitting up properly in bed. Alisha now Liam's secretary? When and how? She used to be a junior staff manager, someone barely noticeable in EMC’s hierarchy. But now, she had somehow climbed to Liam Carter’s secretary? Interesting.Curiosity piqued, he unlocked his phone, scrolling through the email.Subject: Invitation – Thursday Morning 10 AMFrom: Alisha Carl, Secretary to the Co-President of EMCTo: Williams JesseMr. Jesse,You are invited to a meeting with Mr. Liam Carter on Thur
Chapter 435: Alisha’s Loyalty
Chapter 435: Alisha’s LoyaltyThe entire office buzzed with hushed whispers, murmurs slithering through the corridors like a well-fed serpent. “Did you hear? Liam Carter demoted his secretary.” “Just like that? Without reason?” “And guess who got the job? Alisha Carl.”The name lingered in the air like an unanswered question, followed by raised eyebrows and exchanged glances.Alisha Carl had always been a subject of gossip—once, because of her failed marriage to James Wane, and her relationship with Jaxon; now, because of her sudden rise to power under Liam Carter. But if the whispers bothered her, she gave no indication.Dressed in a sleek black pencil skirt and a white silk blouse that accentuated her sharp, poised elegance, Alisha walked into EMC that morning with her head high, her heels clicking against the polished floors. Every glance, every side-eye she received, was met with indifference.Let them talk.She had been through worse.Liam’s former secretary, Janet Moore, had lef
