JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 252
Chapter 252As they returned to Sasha's hotel room, Williams began to outline the details of the operation. "Here's everything you need to know about the job," he started, his voice serious.Sasha sat on the bed, fully awake now and listening intently. "Go on," she said."The target is in Sky Care Hospital. The same person who owns Sky Suite Hotel owns the hospital, so it should be an easy pass for you since you've stayed here for a night and have seen their security pattern. I’ve provided you with a map of the building and the image of the target," Williams said, handing her a folded paper and a colorful photograph of Liam.Sasha took the image from him and placed it on the table, unfolded the map and studied it. "Alright. What’s the plan?" she asked."First, you need to enter the hospital and stalk a nurse until she goes to the restroom. Once she’s in there, knock her out and immediately put on her uniform. Then, head down to the ward where Liam Carter is being held. Once inside, be

Chapter 253Inside the car, Sasha turned to Williams, her expression curious. "How did you know that was the ward? You reacted as if you were sure about it."Williams hesitated for a moment, not wanting to involve Alisha or reveal too much. "My instincts told me," he replied, trying to sound confident.Sasha raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Instincts? What if your instincts are wrong and it's not the ward?""Trust me," Williams insisted. "It's definitely the ward. Just trust me on this."Sasha went silent for a moment, her eyes studying his face. "I saw someone walk into that ward, and you reacted. You tried to cover your face. Who is that girl?"Williams felt a wave of anxiety but kept his composure. "It's nothing. Just focus on the task at hand."Sasha wasn't buying it. "Tell me everything you know so I can do my job properly. If there's someone involved, I need to know."Williams sighed, realizing he needed to say something to satisfy her curiosity. "Alright, the girl mig

Chapter 254Meanwhile, Jaxon and Milly had been on vacation for what felt like forever.He was all over her, completely engrossed in their time together, forgetting everything else, including his fiancée, Alisha.He frequently asked his father for money, and the last time he asked, his father had sternly told him to come back home or else he’d stop funding his lavish lifestyle. But Jaxon had other plans.After learning from Williams that his father had another family elsewhere, Jaxon was determined to use that information against him, unaware that it was a seed planted by Williams for his own sinister purposes.As they lounged on the beach, soaking up the sun, Jaxon’s mind was racing with his schemes. Milly noticed his distraction and nudged him.“What’s on your mind?” she asked, smiling.Jaxon glanced at her, his expression serious. “We’re going back to Emerald Falls soon,” he said.“How soon?” She asked, anxious.“On the morrow.” Jaxon replied and turned to face her.Milly's face fe

Chapter 255It was already late when their flight landed, so Jaxon decided they should book a space at Sky Suite and spend the night. They walked to the receptionist and were booking a room when Williams saw them and approached, with Sasha by his side."Jaxon! Milly!" Williams called out, smiling broadly as he walked over.Jaxon turned, a bit surprised but happy to see him. "Williams! What a surprise!" He shook hands with Williams, who then hugged Milly warmly."Hey, Williams," Milly said, smiling. "Fancy meeting you here.""This is Sasha," Williams said, introducing the woman beside him. "She's a very good friend of mine." He turned to Sasha and said, “And these are my two colleagues at work, Jaxon Sterling and Milly Sienna.”Sasha smiled and extended her hand. "Nice to meet you both.""Nice to meet you too, Sasha

Chapter 256The evening progressed with laughter and an ever-growing sense of camaraderie. Sasha lit up a cigarette, offering one to Jaxon and Milly. Jaxon eagerly took one, while Milly hesitated for a moment before accepting. Meanwhile, Williams took a sip of his drink, declining the cigarette with a polite shake of his head."I don't smoke," Williams explained. "Never have."Sasha blew a stream of smoke into the air, looking at Williams with a playful smirk. "You don't know what you're missing."Jaxon, now feeling the effects of both the alcohol and the cigarette, leaned back in his chair and grinned. "So, Sasha, you seem like a fun person. Have you ever... you know, had a wild night with more than one person?"Milly giggled, clearly feeling the buzz as well. "Jaxon! You're so naughty!"Sasha laughed, taking another drag from her cigarette. "Oh, I've had my

Chapter 257The next morning, Milly and Jaxon got dressed and prepared to go to EMC. Milly was anxious about her absence from work, planning to lie about being unwell. Jaxon, on the other hand, was nonchalant, relying on his father's influence as a board member.As they drove to the company, Milly glanced at Jaxon. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.Jaxon shrugged. "Relax, Milly. No one's going to fire you. Besides, my father will handle everything."They arrived at EMC, and Jaxon kissed Milly on the cheek. "I'll go see my father. You go sign in and explain your absence.""Don't forget the money you promised me." Milly reminded him.Jaxon responded quickly: "Right, I'll get it from my dad right away. Meet me downstairs when you're done."Milly nodded, feeling a knot in her stomach. "Okay. Good luck with your dad."Jaxon smirked. "I don't need luck. Just charm."They parted ways, Jaxon heading to his father's office while Milly went to the admin

Chapter 258Jaxon barged into James' office, his face flushed with anger. He saw James shaking hands with Milly and, without waiting another second, confronted him."Leave Milly alone!" Jaxon shouted, stepping closer. "She's sick, and you have no right to question her whereabouts because she took leave from me."James looked confused and surprised, but before Milly could intervene and calm Jaxon down, Jaxon grabbed James by the shirt and pulled him close.James, clearly annoyed, said firmly, "Let go of me, Jaxon. You have no idea what you're talking about."Jaxon sneered, his grip tightening, "What are you gonna do about it, huh?"Milly, using a soft tone, pleaded, "Jaxon, sweetie, please calm down. Everything's sorted out now. James has been understanding."Ignoring her, Jaxon leaned in closer to James and hissed, "Listen up, you're still on my list of people I need to teach a lesson. Don't you forget that."James looked directly into Jaxon's eyes, his voice steady, "You need to calm

Chapter 259Meanwhile, back at Sky Care in Richard's ward, Richard was already standing up, flexing his arms, and smiling broadly. "Feeling good, Richard?" Dr. Avery, the head doctor, asked as he walked into the room."Better than ever, Doc," Richard replied with a grin. "I can't believe it. I never thought I'd walk again."Dr. Avery nodded, a pleased smile on his face. "Well, it looks like all the treatments have paid off. Your progress has been remarkable."Richard watched as Dr. Avery checked his vitals once again with some advanced devices. The doctor meticulously noted Richard's bone density and neural connections. "Everything looks great," Dr. Avery confirmed, adjusting his glasses. "Your bones have regained their strength, and your neural connections are functioning perfectly.""That's amazing," Richard said, flexing his fingers. "It's like a miracle.""It certainly is," Dr. Avery agreed. He then proceeded to ask Richard a series of questions to ensure everything was in order

Chapter 420: Alive?Liam Carter was leaning casually against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression unreadable.He had been watching the fight.Observing.Calculating.And now, he had chosen the perfect moment to interrupt.Liam’s smirk was slight, but there was amusement in his eyes. “Well, well,” he drawled, his voice smooth. “I knew you had a personal vendetta, but I didn’t think you’d go for it this quickly.”Kai’s grip on the dagger didn’t loosen. His breathing was steady, but his anger was still boiling beneath the surface.“This isn’t your concern.” His voice was cold, sharp.Liam chuckled softly. “Oh, but it is. Everything that happens in this company is my concern now.”Williams coughed weakly, blood dripping from his mouth as he tried to push himself up.Kai’s hand twitched, but before he could make another move, Liam straightened, his eyes darkening just slightly. “That’s enough, Kai.”It wasn’t a suggestion.It was a command.And for the first time, Kai hesitated.Bec

Chapter 419: The Shadow behind himAs soon as they left Liam’s executive office Lina walked beside Kai, her eyes flickering over the sleek office layout of EMC. The company was undeniably impressive—modern, efficient, and filled with professionals who looked like they had their entire lives figured out.Yet here she was, a former college dropout, now working in the corporate world among men like Liam Carter and Kai Nakamura. Mysterious. Dangerous. Powerful.She exhaled softly and adjusted the strap of her handbag. “So,” she finally said, glancing at Kai. “What exactly is my job here? Because as far as I know, I have no official title, no formal role, and no one’s given me a job description.”Kai smirked, hands tucked into his pockets as he walked. “You assist me. That’s your job.”Lina raised a brow. “Assist you how? Like your personal secretary? Your bodyguard? Your emotional support human?”Kai chuckled, shaking his head. “You wish. I don’t need emotional support.”Lina snorted. “Ri

She glanced at the caller ID—Mrs. Jenkins.Taking a deep breath, she answered. “Good afternoon, ma’am.”“Alisha,” Mrs. Jenkins’ voice came through, calm but firm. “I need you in my office immediately.”Alisha’s stomach twisted slightly. Had something gone wrong during the meeting? She quickly grabbed a notepad and made her way to the HR Director’s office.Inside, Mrs. Jenkins was seated behind her desk, reviewing documents. She looked up and gestured for Alisha to sit.“You’ve been chosen to show Liam Carter around the company,” she stated, setting the papers aside.Alisha blinked, surprised. “Me?”“Yes. Since you oversee the junior staff and know the company well, it makes sense.”Alisha hesitated, unsure how to respond. She wasn’t nervous about the task itself, but why hadn’t Liam told her about this whole acquisition before today? They had been secretly
Chapter 417: The meeting
Chapter 417: The meetingThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with tension. The long mahogany table, polished to a shine, was occupied by the most powerful figures at EMC. At the head sat Mr. Sterling, his sharp eyes scanning the room as if he could bend the situation to his will by sheer force. Across from him sat Liam Carter, relaxed but in full control, his presence commanding attention.Eric Wood, standing at the front of the room, cleared his throat. His fingers clutched the stack of documents in his hands, but despite his professional demeanor, there was something off about him—something weighed down by an invisible force.“As you all know, we are here to finalize the acquisition deal,” Eric said, his voice steady but lacking its usual authority. “Liam Carter has made an offer to purchase fifty percent of EMC, and after thorough discussions, we have decided to proceed with this agreement as it meets the company’s and the government’s requirements.”The murmurs started almos

Chapter 416: A Morning of SurprisesThe morning sun spilled through the curtains, casting soft golden light across Alisha Carl’s bedroom. She lay still for a moment, her body relaxed beneath the sheets, when her phone vibrated on the nightstand.Blinking against the light, she reached for it, her lips curving into a slow smile when she saw the name on the screen. Liam Carter.She answered, bringing the phone to her ear.“Good morning, stranger.”His deep, smooth voice greeted her. “Morning, beautiful. Hope I’m not waking you.”Alisha stretched lazily, still curled up in bed. “Not really. I was about to get up.”“Liar. You sound too comfortable.”She smirked. “Maybe.”A soft chuckle rumbled through the speaker. “Did you sleep well?”“Mmm… kind of.”“Bad dreams?”“No, just… thinking too much.”Liam hesitated, then his voice dropped slightly. “About what?”She bit her lip, debating whether to tell him. But instead, she dodged. “Nothing important.”“Lies.”Alisha sighed. “Fine. I was thin

Chapter 415The Wood residence in Diamondville was silent except for the ticking of the clock on the wall. The usually cozy living room, filled with soft lighting and warm-colored furniture, felt suffocating under the weight of frustration and desperation. A storm was brewing, not outside, but within the hearts of the people gathered there.Eric Wood sat on the edge of the couch, his hands clasped together, eyes fixed on the coffee table as if searching for answers within its polished surface. Beside him, his wife Mary leaned back against the cushions, her arm wrapped around Gwen Greene, who sat stiffly, her fingers tightly gripping the fabric of her jeans. Her red-rimmed eyes were proof of the battle she had been fighting—one that she was losing.James Wane stood near the window, his arms crossed, his sharp gaze observing the street outside as if expecting trouble at any moment. Unlike the others, he wasn’t drowning in emotions. He was thinking, calculating, waiting for the right mom

Chapter 414Fifteen minutes later, The Sterling estate loomed in the darkness, its iron gates already open, waiting for Williams’ arrival. The driveway was lined with expensive cars, the polished surfaces reflecting the dim glow of the outdoor lights.Williams parked near the entrance, killed the engine, and sat there for a moment. He could see Mr. Sterling standing at the top of the steps, flanked by two of his men, Morris Huggo and another unknown guard.Taking a deep breath, Williams stepped out of the car. The cool air hit his face, but he didn’t flinch. He walked around to the back and yanked open the door.“Come get him.”The two guards moved quickly, lifting Jaxon Sterling from the backseat. He groaned as they dragged him toward the house. Williams watched with mild amusement.Mr. Sterling’s gaze followed his son before settling on Williams. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his jaw was clear.“How bad is it?” Sterling finally asked, his voice low.Williams shru

Chapter 413Meanwhile, that Sunday evening, Williams called Mr. Sterling to transfer the money for Jaxon’s release.He was inside the Range Rover car Mr Sterling had given him to avoid Kane, Tom and Dorian to know what’s going on. The phone rang twice before Mr. Sterling’s sharp voice came through.“Tell me you have my son.”Williams smirked, glancing out the window over at the unconscious Jaxon, who was slumped against the wall, his wrists loosely tied in front of him. His face was swollen, a deep cut above his eyebrow still fresh.“I have him,” Williams said, his voice smooth.There was a pause on the other end, then the cold reply. “Good! It’s done.”Williams exhaled slowly. “Good? Now, listen—I barely convinced the kidnappers to let him go. They weren’t happy about it, saying you messed with their boss, but luckily I knew one of them and gave them the money you sent. They took it and agreed to drop it. No loose ends. Although a few wanted more money.”Mr. Sterling’s voice was unre

Chapter 412Liam Carter stood on the balcony, swirling the amber liquid in his glass as he watched the Rolls-Royce glide smoothly into the driveway below. The headlights cut through the evening dimness, casting long shadows across the estate’s stone-paved entrance. He exhaled slowly, leaning against the railing.Kai had already told him over the phone how things had gone down in Red Waters. The mission was completed, and somehow, Kai had decided to bring a girl back with him—an assistant, he had said. Liam found that strange. Kai wasn’t the type to get involved with anyone, much less take someone under his wing. But then again, Kai was full of surprises.He downed the rest of his drink, placed the glass on a nearby table, and made his way downstairs.By the time he stepped outside, Kai was already out of the car, standing beside a young woman who looked hesitant, almost as if she wasn’t sure whether to move or stay put. She had wide eyes, taking in the mansion with an expression that
