JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 156
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. He and Ellen and Lana made the most of their ti

Chapter 157"Mary, are you alright? Where are you? Where's Claire? Is the security around? Any suspicions?" 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.

Chapter 159As Jaxon looked up, he saw a stunning woman approaching him. "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? That must be exciting," he remarked, genuinely interested in knowing more about her.He was already imagining having her in his bed already.Milly nodded, a hint of pride in her voice. "Yeah, it's pretty dynamic. I help market EMC to the world at large," she explained, flashing a warm smile."That sounds like an important role, it fits you perfectly because you're too beautiful," Jaxon commented, impressed. “Thanks,” Milly repli

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

Chapter 161Kate unleashed her frustration on Alisha as soon as they were alone. "How could you embarrass me like that in front of the family? Do you have any idea how important it is for us to keep our positions at EMC?" she scolded, her voice laced with anger.Alisha remained defiant, refusing to back down. "I won't be manipulated by you or anyone else, Mom. I'm tired of pretending everything's fine when it's not. We need to face the truth," she retorted, her tone firm.Kate's frustration only grew at Alisha's defiance. "You're being selfish, Alisha! Do you even care about the family's reputation? About what will happen to us if we lose our positions at EMC?" she countered, her voice rising in frustration.“Don't even go there, Mom.” Alisha stood her ground "I care about doing what's right, Mom. I won't compromise my integrity for the sake of money or status," she declared, "But you, you only care about money and status. Ever since Dad was sick, you haven't been taking care of him b

Chapter 162Kate wasted no time in revealing the news to the rest of the extended family: Williams was a Senior staff at EMC and willing to help them.That night, after the call, Kate rushed down to Pa Aaron's compound and told everyone that Williams had come back and was willing to help them now.Kate's news surprised everyone. Pa Aaron was surprised; it had been a long time since they'd heard from Williams. Williams was related to him through Kate He scratched his head, unsure. "Williams? Haven't heard from him in ages,” he said. “Is he still alive?"“Yea. He's hale and hearty.” Kate replied happily.Ma Pat looked worried. "Is this a good idea, Kate?" she asked quietly.Ma Pat, though not Kate's biological mother, was Pa Aaron's second wife. Kate's mother was his first wife.After Kate's mother divorced Pa Aaron, she remarried and gave birth to William's mother.Unfortunately, Williams' mother passed away, and Kate was the closest relative he had and she took him in. However, every

Chapter 163James had made all preparations for the pre meeting party. He had the EMC party hall decorated beautifully.The EMC party hall was decorated with colorful balloons hanging from the ceiling. Tables were covered with crisp white tablecloths, adorned with floral centerpieces.Fairy lights twinkled around the room, casting a warm glow.A buffet table was set up with an array of delicious appetizers and drinks. The atmosphere was lively, with upbeat music playing in the background.By evening, guests began to arrive, both old and new faces. Among the first were the extended Carl family.The extended Carl family arrived at the party in a group, with Pa Aaron leading the way. He was dressed in a worn-out suit that looked like it had seen better days, paired with scuffed shoes.Ma Pat followed behind him, wearing a flowery dress that seemed out of place for the occasion. She kept adjusting her hair nervously, clearly feeling uneasy.Sophia Carl sauntered in confidently, wearing a

Chapter 397Morning broke with a dull glow, illuminating the quiet safe house nestled deep in the woods. Inside, tension hung thick in the air. Williams was standing near the window with a phone pressed to his ear, speaking in a calm but calculated tone.“We’ve got your son, Charles,” he said, his voice steady. “But we haven’t located Jaxon.”On the other end of the line, Mr. Sterling’s voice cracked with emotion. “Charles? Is he safe? Are you sure?” Relief flooded his tone, but it was quickly shadowed by anxiety. “What about Jaxon? Did you find him? Is there anything—anything—leading up to him?”Williams let out a quiet sigh, one that sounded more like practiced patience than genuine concern. “That’s all we could manage,” he replied. “The men who took Jaxon still have him, and from what we’ve gathered, they plan to kill him if there’s any interference.”Mr. Sterling was silent for a beat, processing the grim news. Then, his voice rose, tinged with panic. “What do I do now? How do I

Chapter 396James and Gregor stepped out of their concealed position in the underbrush as the taillights of the SUV disappeared into the darkness. The cool night air was eerily silent now, broken only by the faint rustling of leaves and the muffled sounds of wildlife in the distance. The ground beneath their boots crunched softly as they moved toward the aftermath of the chaos they had just witnessed.Gregor’s eyes scanned the scene, his face expressionless as he took in the lifeless bodies sprawled across the area. Three of them, including Ben they once held, lay motionless, their weapons discarded and their blood staining the dirt beneath them.Gregor crouched beside one of the bodies, briefly checking for a pulse, though he already knew there was none. Standing, he shook his head and muttered, “Well, that’s the life they’ve chosen for themselves.”James, standing a few steps behind him, remained silent for a moment, his sharp eyes darting around the scene. The faint glow of the moo

Chapter 395
Chapter 395The shadows of the dilapidated bunker stretched long under the moonlight as Williams and his team lay in wait. They had taken up position hours earlier, tucked inside Jaxon’s sleek sports car, the dark, polished metal blending seamlessly into the night. The air inside the vehicle was stifling, thick with tension and the faint metallic tang of gun oil. Every man was armed and ready, their nerves wound tight, waiting for the right moment to strike. Williams sat in the driver’s seat, his hands resting casually on the steering wheel, though his eyes never left the rearview mirror. Beside him, Kane sat rigid, one hand gripping Jaxon’s arm firmly while the other rested on the stock of a shotgun lying across his lap. In the cramped sports car, Tom and Dorian crouched uncomfortably in the trunk, their weapons at the ready, waiting for Williams’ signal.The silence inside the car was shattered when headlights cut through the darkness. A single car approached, its rumbling engine e

Chapter 394The dense canopy of the forest loomed overhead, casting long shadows over the makeshift campsite where James and Gregor had been holed up for days. The air was damp, thick with the earthy scent of moss and pine, and the distant call of nocturnal creatures echoed through the stillness.Gregor sat cross-legged on the damp ground, his eyes glued to the small tablet in his lap. A blinking red dot pulsed steadily on the screen—the nano tracker they’d planted on Ben’s phone.For three grueling days, they’d followed that dot from one hideout to another, staying just far enough away not to be detected. They’d spent their nights in the car or in the bush, catching only brief moments of sleep between shifts of surveillance.Tonight was no different, and Gregor’s tired eyes burned as he watched the screen, hoping for any sign of movement.James lay stretched out on the ground beside him, his jacket pulled over his face to block out the faint moonlight filtering through the trees.

Chapter 393Jack paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, his gun laid out on the table as he meticulously assembled and armored it. Each metallic click echoed in the stale air, punctuating the tense atmosphere.They had to switch hideouts when Ben rejoined them, in case he was being tailed. Jack carefully considered the situation and concluded that bringing him back into the operation as an additional resource would be a wise decision, just in case they encountered any unexpected challenges but he made sure they switch hideout from time to time. But their main exchange point was still the old bunker because it has a lot of escape routes and underground tunnels.Ken was nearby, double-checking their supply of ammunition, while Denver and Ben lounged on an old, battered couch, their excitement barely contained.“Finally, we’re getting out of this shithole with a bundle of millions,” Denver said to Ben, leaning back with a smug grin. He flicked a discarded cigarette butt into the cor

Chapter 392
Chapter 392The evening sky was a dusky orange, streaked with long trails of purple as the sun dipped below the horizon. Williams parked the sleek, black car that Mr. Sterling had secured for him—a high-profile Lamborghini that was both remarkable and practical for what was about to go down.The tinted windows gleamed faintly in the fading light as he stepped out, dressed in a dark hoodie and jeans. He adjusted the baseball cap on his head and pulled it lower to obscure his face further.Kane was already waiting near the edge of the gravel lot, leaning casually against a rusted lamp post that barely flickered to life. His stance was relaxed, but his eyes darted around, sharp and alert. A few paces away, Tom and Dorian lingered by the entrance to the abandoned warehouse, their conversation low but punctuated with short laughs.Williams approached Kane with purposeful strides. Without a word, he gestured for Kane to follow him a short distance away from the others.“They ready?” William

Chapter 391
Chapter 391Andrew’s pen hovered over the page. “Eric Wood? The CEO of EMC?”“Yes,” Sterling said, his voice steady now, laced with conviction. “He’s had a vendetta against my family for months. He’s jealous of our success, our influence. And now, with everything happening at EMC, I wouldn’t put it past him to stoop this low. My two sons were kidnapped in a sparse of a few weeks. Is it not strange?”Andrew tilted his head, his expression skeptical. “That’s a serious accusation, Mr. Sterling. Do you have any evidence to support this?”Mr. Sterling sighed heavily, as though burdened by the weight of his own claim. “Not concrete evidence, no. But think about it. He has the resources, the motive. And I heard through some… private channels that he’s been meeting with unsavory characters lately. People who could easily pull off something like this.”Andrew jotted a few notes, his pen moving quickly. “I see. I’ll look into it. But you understand we can’t act on hearsay alone.”“Of course, of

Chapter 390As soon as Mr. Sterling ended the call with Williams, he hurried to his closet, throwing on a sleek navy suit and matching tie. His hands trembled slightly as he adjusted the knot, but he steeled himself, taking a deep breath.This wasn’t just a favor for Williams; it was a calculated move to get his two sons back. Grabbing his keys, he rushed out of his mansion, the elevator ride to the ground floor feeling agonizingly slow.When he finally stepped outside, the cool morning air bit at his face, but he paid it no mind. His black sedan waited at the curb, and he climbed in, starting the engine with a growl. As he sped toward Sky Suite, he rehearsed the lies he might need to tell to retrieve Jaxon’s car.The towering Sky Suite hotel loomed ahead, its modern glass facade gleaming brightly under the early morning sun. As Mr. Sterling approached the entrance, his stomach tightened. The sight of two patrol cars parked near the lobby entrance made his pulse quicken. Uniformed off

Chapter 389
Chapter 389As soon as Kane received the message from Tom that Jaxon had finally broken under the pressure and confessed, he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Williams. His tone was sharp, clipped, and direct as he relayed the crucial information.“He finally talked,” Kane said without any preamble. “He’s given up Jack’s location—some bunker near the old docks.”Williams, on the other end of the line, didn’t respond right away. The faint sound of tapping, likely his pen against his desk, filled the silence. “Good,” Williams finally said, his voice steady but tinged with calculation. “Did he say anything about how many men Jack has with him?”“Yeah,” Kane replied. “Three, including Jack himself. He said one of them ran away. It’s a small crew.”Williams let out a low hum of approval. “That’s manageable. We’ve got the numbers, four to three. Here’s the plan,” he said, leaning forward in his chair. “You’re going to prep Jaxon to lead you straight to the bunker. He’s our key. Ma
