"Good evening, ladies," he greeted them warmly. Lana and Ellen looked up, surprised but pleased to see him."Hello, Williams," Ellen replied, her voice smooth and welcoming. Lana nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about what he might say next but he said nothing more."You were hanging out with the Carls?" Lana asked him. "I thought these are the ghost workers of EMC.""Do you by any chance know them?" Ellen added."Oh, no, no!" He flatly denied it. "I don't know them. I was just reprimanding them for not coming to work."Lana raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Really? It seemed like you were quite familiar with them."Williams shook his head vigorously. "I assure you, I was just doing my job. They needed to be reminded of their responsibilities."Ellen exchanged a glance wi

Chapter 169They were still watching Williams when they saw him approach a very beautiful lady standing alone. From the look of things, they sensed that things were not going well between them. The girl frowned when she saw Williams, and though he was trying to talk to her, she wasn't listening."Who's that girl?" Liam asked Kai, who was also confused."I don't know," Kai replied, his eyes narrowing as he tried to read the situation."Probably his girlfriend," Liam suggested.Kai shook his head. "Maybe they're close, but I doubt she's his girlfriend.""Well, there's only one way to find out," Liam said, decisively. He straightened his suit jacket and began walking towards the girl.Kai watched as Liam approached her, his curiosity piqued.As Liam neared the girl, he noticed the tension in her posture and the way she subtly stepped back from Williams. He took a deep breath and stepped in between them, smiling warmly."Hello," Liam greeted the girl, ignoring Williams for the moment. "I c

Chapter 171Jaxon was in his room with Milly Sienna, pondering about what Williams had told him about his dad's other family—the ones he truly considered family.He was bothered about it, mostly about losing the status of heir and his father abandoning him and his mom after the success of the heist operation at EMC, leaving them to face the consequences.He wanted really badly to confront his father about the whole situation, and deal with him openly but he couldn't afford to risk it all now that Williams has decided to help him.Well, one thing is for sure: he still has his plans, and he intends to carry them out secretly without even telling Williams about it.Unknown to everyone, that day he got hold of his father's phone, he was able to easily search out the contact and address of his father's secret family.

Chapter 172Williams was in his hotel room, replaying the events of yesterday in his mind. Despite the success of the party and having the Carl extended family under his thumb, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.He should have been happy about the upcoming court cases against James, and Eric and the progress of their plans, but a nagging sense of unease persisted.He felt like someone was watching him, yet he couldn't pinpoint who. The thought gnawed at him, making it hard to relax. Suddenly, he remembered the guy who had interrupted his conversation with Alisha. The man had been quite the gentleman—rich, handsome, and confident. Williams suspected that the guy might be up to no good, but he had no idea who he was.Williams sat up, his mind racing. He decided he needed more information. Picking up his phone, he dialed a number of one of the CCTV staff under him at EMC.“Hello, who's this?” The guy replied from the other end."Hey, it's Williams. I need you to do a

Chapter 173RICHARD CARL HOUSEMeanwhile, Alisha was in their sitting room, lost in her thoughts about the previous night. The party had been okay, but she couldn't shake the cloud of unease that had been hanging over her for some time now, with everything happening in her family.She remembered the guy from last night who had interrupted her awful conversation with Williams. The guy had introduced himself as Liam Carter. Alisha realized he was quite the gentleman. Handsome and evidently wealthy, he had given her his business card. Initially, Alisha hadn't thought much of it, but now her curiosity about this young man was growing.She retrieved the card from her purse and studied it. "Liam Carter," she murmured, tracing the embossed letters with her finger. There was something about him that intrigued her—perhaps it was his confidence or the way he had so effortlessly defused the tension between her and Williams.Alisha couldn't deny that she found Liam attractive. But beyond that, sh

Chapter 174Liam dropped his phone onto the desk, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. Kai Nakamura, who was sitting beside him in his office at Carter Comb, the official headquarters of the Carter dynasty, glanced over curiously."Who was that?" Kai asked, his tone casual but curious.Liam leaned back in his chair, still feeling the rush of excitement from the conversation with Alisha. "That was Alisha Carl," he replied, his voice tinged with enthusiasm.Kai raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Alisha Carl? As in, from the Carl family?"Liam nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "That's the one. We met at the party last night, and I just asked her out on a date."Kai chuckled, impressed. "Well, well, Liam Carter stepping up his game. I'm impressed."Ever since he had known Liam, Liam was never the type to think about going out on dates with girls. What he does is to whore around.Liam grinned, feeling a sense of pride at Kai's approval. "Thanks, Kai. I have a good feeling about this

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 Sun
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

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)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

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.
