JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 16
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

All the workers in the scene all kept mute when they realized who just asked the question.'Mr. Sterling!'"Are you all deaf?" Mr Sterling barked again. "What's going on here?"Even though Mr Sterling is no longer the CEO, everyone still fears him as he has a commanding presence and still acts like the CEO."A… A janitor and a middle-aged woman are having a scuffle, sir." One of the workers said, breaking the silence."A Janitor and a potential customer? How could this be? Does he want to ruin Emerald Multisource Corporation.?" Mr. Sterling barked with anger. He couldn't understand why this was happening now that Lana Wane and Eric Wood were around. What would they think of him? A Director who doesn't know how to discipline his workers. He must make sure he deals with this so-called low life of a janitor who does not understand that the customers are always right."Separate them, and bring them to me." Mr Sterling ordered the security guards with them."Yessir!"Without hesitation,
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 21
Mr. Sterling stopped immediately. He had hoped that Lana Wane and Eric Woods, the new CEO would be comfortable with the judgment he passed.'Who wouldn't love such judgements,' he thought. 'The rich are always happy with such judgements and he doesn't think they wouldn't be comfortable. But as it stands now it feels like she doesn't approve of it with the way she called out to him.Even the already dispersing crowd began to gather once more to hear what she was about to say."Look! It's Lana Wane. She wants to have a say in the matter.""Oh my God! I hate this woman already. What position does she hold in the company, by the way?" Kate queried. She doesn't want her to ruin the situation."Shsss, Mom. That's rude." Alisha told her mother.Lana then said, "Nice judgment Mr. Sterling. But I think it's not so nice at all."Mr. Sterling was agitated. "Sorry? Miss?"Kate's face turned red."I said it! This woman is about to jeopardize everything." a supporter of Mr. Sterling whispered."Be

The next day was a saturday. James was still in bed even when it was past 9 am. in the morning.Last night, he couldn't sleep. He kept rolling and tossing on the bed.As soon as he closed from work, he went straight to the small motel room he had booked days back. The fact that the security guards let him leave without questioning him surprised him.He had thought that the company would try to not let him leave since he's now under their debt.But that wasn't what was bothering him the most.What was going through his mind the whole time was his encounter with Alisha at her office.The memory of the whole encounter with her kept replaying in his head.He wasn't sure of how to react either. He couldn't deny the fact that she cared for him dearly, and a part of him felt like he still cared for her.'This is all useless! Am I missing her or what?' he thought.The more he tried to get her off his mind, the more he thought about her."Ahhh!" He lamented. "What's happening to me! Come off
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 23
Mr. Ken guided the way to room 25, a swarm of thoughts buzzing in his mind. He couldn't fathom what business had brought this man to his humble motel.The sight of a Rolls Royce parked in his lot had left him puzzled and flabbergasted. To Mr. Ken, it signified one thing – that the guest in room 25 was no ordinary man. He was undoubtedly rich, but Mr. Ken had been entirely unaware of it all along."Darn it," he silently cursed himself, "I wonder how my staff, especially Tom and the others, have been treating this guest."The situation left him perturbed, contemplating what had transpired under his very roof.The notion that a man of wealth had been staying for an extended period without his knowledge left him with an unpleasant feeling, and concern for how this guest might have been treated during his stay.He was so happy that a rich man was in his motel and at the same time anxious that this rich man would give a bad impression to other rich people about his motel if he was being tre

Chapter 472: Whispers of Betrayal
Chapter 472: Whispers of BetrayalThe grand hall of Liam Carter’s mansion gleamed under the soft glow of a crystal chandelier, its light bouncing off polished marble floors and dark oak paneling. 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)
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
Chapter 467: The Applause
Chapter 467: The ApplauseThe afternoon sun cast a golden hue over the EMC skyscraper, its reflective glass exterior shimmering like a beacon of triumph. Inside, the atmosphere was electric. An impromptu all-staff meeting had been called by CEO Eric Wood, a rare occurrence that sent ripples of curiosity and anticipation through every department.Employees from all levels gathered in the grand auditorium, a state-of-the-art facility designed for such significant announcements. 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 Code
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. Overnight, the ghost that had haunted their finance sector for months had vanished.Cheers broke out when the first internal memo was released.INTERNAL MEMO – SYSTEM STABILITY REPORT“All affected sectors have been restored. The virus has been neutralized. Full operations have resumed.”The message bore the signature of Liam Carter, no
Chapter 465: Control Protocol
Chapter 465: Control ProtocolThe glass elevator hummed softly as it descended into the lower chambers of EMC, its view revealing the underbelly of one of the most secure buildings in Emerald Falls.Liam stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his posture relaxed, but his face was painted with that same smug satisfaction that often made people unsure whether to admire or hate him. Beside him, Kai stood silent, his sharp eyes flicking down to his laptop screen as he made last-minute checks to his code. He had double-checked everything already—but he enjoyed looking busy, especially when people were watching.When the elevator doors opened, they stepped into a dim, sterile corridor lined with gleaming silver panels. At the far end stood a massive, armored gate bearing the seal of EMC. Mounted beside it was a tall humanoid figure—an android security guard that looked like something out of a dystopian dream. It had no visible face, just a smooth metallic mask with a glowing blue str
Chapter 464: The Test of Control
Chapter 464: The Test of ControlLiam Carter walked into his office with the slow, confident gait of a man who believed the world was just one move away from kneeling. His tailored navy coat swayed with each step. He had just finished a meeting with Eric Wood.At the far end of the room, Kai Nakamura sat cross-legged on the edge of a sleek glass desk, a laptop balanced on his thigh. His posture was casual, too relaxed. Kai always carried himself like the room belonged to him—even if it didn’t.Liam didn’t look at him. He was already pulling off his gloves, tossing them carelessly on the table. “Eric folded faster than I thought,” he muttered. “His spine’s made of jelly.”Kai didn’t look up. He tapped a few keys, scrolling through rows of code that glowed green against the black screen. “Shocking,” he replied flatly. “You threatened to expose him to the court. That tends to do the trick.”Liam pressed the intercom. “Alisha, get Mr. Arjun Patel here. Now.”“Yes, Mr. Carter,” came the cr
