This is not your job. The ESU Should have handled it better. You're all unprofessional. You are not doing the right thing," she said and began to wail.“Please madam, we're only being professional here and you should not cause more commotion.” Lt.

Chapter 155Meanwhile, back at Carl's home, Alisha was having a big quarrel with her mother, Kate, for disgracing herself at EMC today."Like Mom, what were you thinking? You just came to disgrace yourself by accusing James wrongly for what he did not even do," she yelled at her mom. "We both know that James doesn't steal.""Come off it now, Alisha. James is a pauper and he's a scammer! Do you ever wonder how he got so rich just a few months after you divorced him? It's because he is behind the Enron scam.""That's a lie, Mom. You all just hate James for no reason. He was very loving and the best thing that happened to me, but you greedily forced me until I divorced him," Alisha cried out. "Now I regret everything.""Don't talk bad now. You know Jaxon is still better than James. Don't you like me being called Mr. Sterling's in-law? He's powerful and wealthy, and you should let that sink into your skull.""That's all you care about, Mom? Being called Mr. Sterling's in-law, and you don'

Chapter 156NEW WEEKMONDAY MORNINGJames walked briskly into Eric's office with a list of files in his hands. He had spent the weekend reflecting on the events of the past week, trying to make sense of Kate's accusation and the possible involvement of Williams.He observed the subtle body movements and eye contact between Kate and Williams, wondering if Williams had bribed her to accuse him falsely.Despite his suspicions, he chose to keep them to himself, knowing Lana wouldn't believe him.During the weekend, James visited the Princeton home, where he spent quality time with Ellen, who was now fully recovered. They enjoyed each other's company, along with Lana, who was also present. However, he avoided discussing the recent turmoil at EMC, focusing instead on enjoying their time together.Mr. Jonathan Princeton and his wife were away for a political meeting and were expected to return this week, so James didn't meet them in the house.

Eric asked, his voice trembling with concern.Mary answered the phone, her voice tinged with concern. "We're fine, Eric. wWhat's wrong? Why do you sound so worried?"Eric took a deep breath, trying to compose himself before responding. "But Mary, are you and Claire safe? Is everything okay at home?"Mary's confusion deepened. "Yes, Eric, we're both fine," she replied, her tone becoming more worried. "But why are you asking? Is something wrong?"Eric hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I just received some unsettling news, and I want to make sure you're both safe," he explained cryptically.Mary's concern grew as she listened to Eric's vague response. "What kind of news? Eric, you're scaring me. Please tell me what's going on," she pleaded."I'll explain everything later, Mary," Eric said, trying to reassure her. "Just stay with the security guards and keep an eye out for a

Chapter 158Williams and Mr. Sterling couldn't contain their laughter as they received the news from Donald Duke about the two lawsuits being sent out—one to Eric and the other to the military.Williams chuckled. His plan was unfolding just as he had anticipated. He knew that with these lawsuits in motion, chaos would ensue, and he would have the upper hand.“I know you love celebrations, Mr. Sterling. Now Let's celebrate.” He said and poured a glass of expensive wine for the two of them.“Ofcourse, ofcourse.” Mr. Sterling said and took a sip of the wine.“This lawsuit has banned the military from further intervention and interference into matters concerning EMC and ESU after the last commotion they caused here.” Williams said as he savored each sip, relishing in the taste of victory. The soft music playing in his office added to the ambiance of his triumph. Everything was going according to plan, and Williams couldn't be more pleased with himself.“And does it also affect James?” Mr.

"Hey, pretty," he replied with a smile, admiring her beauty."I'm Milly Sienna, nice to meet you, Jax," she introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake.Jaxon accepted her hand graciously, but instead of shaking it, he lifted it to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on it, like a true gentleman.He smiled in response to Milly's introduction. "Nice to meet you, Milly. So, tell me, do you work here?” He asked, flirtingly.“Yes. Marketing department.” She replied.“Marketing, huh?

Chapter 160That evening, the whole Carl extended family gathered at Richard Carl's home after hearing about the news of the senior staff members meeting. They were worried about it, and what shocked them the most was that James had sent out the letter for the meeting."James? The once pauper son-in-law to the Carls, now holds a high position, not just any position, but the acting director of finances at EMC? How?" they all wondered.They knew this would spell trouble for them because they were all ghost workers at EMC, from Pa Aaron to Henry Carl, the youngest of the Carls.Urgently, they gathered at Richard Carl's compound, hoping to persuade his daughter Alisha. She was the only one who legitimately worked at EMC. They came to beg her to plead with Mr. Sterling on their behalf.When Alisha saw them, she was really mad and only managed to restrain herself when she heard their request.She felt bad because ever since Richard was paralyzed, none of the extended family members had come

James’ eyes, sharp and unyielding, scanned the pages, his brow furrowed as he pieced together the puzzle that threatened his reclaimed empire.His dark hair fell slightly over his forehead, a stray lock he brushed back with a quick, impatient flick of his hand. The man who once scrubbed floors at a grocery store was gone; in his place sat the Wane heir, his jaw tight with resolve.The weight of Gregor’s words from his meeting with Kai at the Starlight Diner clung to J

Chapter 473: Secrets in the SunThe Wane family estate in Emerald Falls sprawled across manicured lawns, its white marble facade gleaming under the late morning sun. The air hummed with the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant buzz of a lawnmower, a serene backdrop to the opulent mansion that whispered wealth and power. Inside, the grand foyer echoed with the soft clink of crystal chandeliers and the faint murmur of staff moving discreetly through the halls.Ellen Princeton stood at the threshold, her designer suitcase resting by her polished heels, her auburn hair catching the light as she adjusted her sunglasses atop her head. Her tailored cream blazer and matching skirt spoke of elegance, but her hazel eyes betrayed a flicker of weariness—her father Jonathan Princeton’s presidential campaign, now on hold, had left her navigating a storm of public scrutiny and private doubts.The heavy oak doors swung open, and Lana Wane swept into the foyer, her long, curly hair bouncing with

The air carried the faint scent of leather, a testament to the wealth and power that defined the sprawling estate in the heart of Emerald Falls.Kai Nakamura stood near a towering window, the night sky beyond framing his lean silhouette. His gray suit was slightly rumpled from the day, but his sharp features remained composed, his dark eyes glinting with calculation. In his hand, he clutched the folded paper Gregor had given him at the Starlight Diner hours earlier—Lana Wane’s Greece itinerary, a key to unlocking the Wane family’s secrets. Kai’s mind churned, replaying Gregor’s words about Williams Jesse and Mr. Sterling’s virus scheme. Someone else knew, and that was a problem.The heavy oak door creaked open, and Liam Carter strode in, his tailored navy suit pristine despite the late hour.
Chapter 470: Shadows of Deception
Chapter 470: Shadows of DeceptionThe fluorescent lights of the Starlight Diner buzzed faintly, casting a harsh glow over the checkered linoleum floor and worn red booths. The air smelled of greasy burgers, stale coffee, and a hint of cigarette smoke that clung to the walls despite the no-smoking sign.Gregor sat in a corner booth, his broad shoulders hunched over a chipped mug of black coffee, the steam curling upward like a ghost. His hair, neatly combed, glinted under the lights, and his weathered face was set in a mask of calm, though his sharp gray eyes flicked to the diner’s entrance every few seconds. As James Wane’s loyal butler and covert operative, Gregor was no stranger to clandestine meetings, but tonight’s rendezvous with Kai Nakamura felt like walking a tightrope over a pit of vipers.His phone sat on the table, the screen dark but heavy with James’s last text: Give him the itinerary. Push the Sterling-Williams angle. Say you’ve got dirt on their virus scheme. Let’s see

Chapter 470 A Game of Trust (Continued)James glanced at the reports again, his fingers flipping through pages, searching for a clue he might’ve missed. The absence of Kai’s report gnawed at him. “What are you hiding, Nathaniel?” he murmured, his voice barely audible.The door creaked open, and Ana Davies, his secretary, stepped inside, her dark hair pulled into a neat bun, her glasses catching the light. She clutched a tablet, her posture professional but her eyes curious. “Mr. Clarkson, the meeting’s in an hour. Need anything prepped?” Her voice was crisp, but a slight tilt of her head betrayed her interest in his mood.James flashed a disarming smile, masking the storm in his mind. He leaned back, tossing the pen onto the desk with a casual flick. “Just the financials, Ana. And… any word from Patel’s team on the virus cleanup?”Ana crossed the room, her heels clicking softly on the hardwood floor. She stopped at the desk, tapping her tablet to pull up a file. “Nothing official. Mr.
Chapter 469: A Game of Trust
Chapter 469: A Game of TrustThe late afternoon sun filtered through the tinted windows of James’ office, casting long shadows across his polished mahogany desk.The room was a blend of modern elegance and understated power—sleek monitors, neatly stacked files, and a single framed photo of his parents, a reminder of the legacy he was fighting for.James leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers steepled under his chin. His sharp blue eyes, usually calm, flickered with unease as he stared at the muted TV screen mounted on the wall. The news ticker blazed: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED: COMPANY RESTORED TO FULL OPERATIONS.”James’s jaw tightened. Yesterday’s headlines had been a whirlwind of relief for EMC—customers flooding back, stock prices climbing, and employees celebrating. But to James, it felt too neat, too sudden. He’d long suspected Williams Jesse, the cunning tech manager, and Mr. Sterling, the manipulative head of the board, was behind the virus that had crippled EMC’s systems
Chapter 468: The Hidden Hand
Chapter 468: The Hidden HandThe dawn light crept beneath the heavy drapes of Williams Jesse’s bedroom, painting thin stripes of gold across his neatly made bed. He lay still for a moment, listening to the low hum of traffic outside. On the bedside table, the news channel played on mute, flashing headlines across the screen: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED,” “CUSTOMERS POUR BACK IN,” and “COMPANY STABILITY RESTORED.”Williams propped himself up on one elbow and reached for the remote, clicking off the TV. He studied the blank screen for a heartbeat, then swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood. The past few days had been a masterclass in deception, and now the world believed the danger was gone. But in truth, the real virus—silent, undetectable, and far more dangerous—lay hidden in the deepest layers of EMC’s network.He dressed quickly in a crisp white shirt and charcoal slacks, buttoning cuffs with precise motions. His reflection in the mirror showed a calm, confident man. No one w

The room buzzed with chatter, the air thick with excitement and speculation. Whispers of the recent virus removal and the mysterious figure behind it dominated conversations.The middle rows were filled with dozens of staff from departments like finance, IT, customer care, logistics, and development. They whispered, leaned sideways, and shared raised brows as they clapped.“That’s the guy, right?” one whispered to her colleague.“Nathaniel Grey. They say he barely even comes to EMC.”“Well, he shows up and boom—t

Chapter 466: The Ghost in the CodeThe sun rose lazily over Emerald Falls, its golden rays piercing through the sleek glass exterior of the EMC skyscraper. Inside, however, the day had started long before dawn. The Control Center’s success had set off a chain reaction that echoed through every floor, every department, and every hallway of the company.By 9 a.m., EMC was alive with celebration. In the reception area of the main lobby, clusters of employees stood huddled around digital screens and glowing tables, their voices buzzing like a swarm of bees. The virus was gone. Just like that. No system crashes, no missing files, and no corrupted data logs.
