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

"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
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 20
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 446: Lana at EMC
Chapter 446: Lana at EMCThe morning broke with a soft, golden glow spilling through the sheer curtains, casting warm patterns across the room. Lana Wane stirred from her sleep, stretching lazily as a slow smile formed on her lips. Today marked the beginning of her long-anticipated one-month leave from her beauty and aesthetics company, and she planned to spend it in Greece with Ellen.Although Ellen was still deep in the whirlwind of a pre-presidential election campaign with her parents, Lana looked forward to their time together. She could already picture the sun-drenched beaches, the luxurious resorts, and the much-needed escape from the constant demands of her business.As she lay there, memories of last night’s dinner with Williams replayed in her mind. It had been a pleasant evening—good food, easy conversation, and, for once, no major arguments. The only tense moment came when she brought up James.She sighed, staring up at the ceiling. She still couldn’t understand why William
Chapter 445: The date
Chapter 445: The dateAs he walked toward the entrance, he spotted Lana sitting at a table near the window. She was scrolling through her phone, her lips slightly pursed, the way they always did when she was pretending to be annoyed but wasn’t actually mad.Williams smirked. She was predictable like that.He stepped inside, the scent of grilled steak and fine wine filling the air. A waiter approached, but Williams waved him off and made his way straight to Lana’s table.Lana was dressed in a sleek, off-shoulder emerald green dress that hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her curves without being overly revealing. The fabric shimmered subtly under the restaurant’s warm lighting, giving her an effortlessly elegant look. A thin gold belt cinched at her waist, adding a touch of sophistication.Her long, blonde hair cascaded over one shoulder in soft waves, and she wore delicate gold earrings that caught the light whenever she moved. A matching gold bracelet adorned her wrist, comple

Chapter 444: A Web of DeceptionWilliams unlocked his apartment door and stepped inside, exhaling deeply as he shut it behind him. His body still felt tense from the meeting—his ribs ached where Kai had struck him, and a dull headache throbbed at his temples. He set his bag down on the coffee table and loosened his tie, then walked over to the kitchen, pouring himself a drink with shaky hands.The meeting had been deadly—too close for comfort. Liam and Kai were a step ahead now, and that terrified him. For the first time in a long while, Williams felt a sense of powerlessness creeping in. He took a slow sip of his drink, letting the burn of the liquor ground him, then straightened up. No. He wouldn’t let them control him.They had given him an ultimatum: hand over everything about the virus or lose his life. That wasn’t an option. Williams wasn’t the kind of man to accept defeat. If they wanted the virus, he’d give it to them—but not the real one.He sat at his desk and powered on his
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 Meeting
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 Plans
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
