JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 275
Chapter 275On his way back to the Sky Suite Hotel, Williams' phone buzzed in his pocket. Glancing at the screen, he saw Kate's name flashing and reluctantly answered the call, already anticipating the kind of conversation that awaited him."Hello, Kate," he greeted, forcing a neutral tone."Williams," Kate's voice came through, strained with anxiety. She explained everything that's been going on between her and Richard to him, "...I don’t know what to do. Richard’s been discharged from the hospital, and he’s hellbent on divorcing me. He’s refusing to listen to anyone, not even Pa Aaron."Williams feigned concern, furrowing his brow as if anyone could see his expression. "Wait, what? That's not right, Kate. Richard should listen to reason.""Exactly! That's why I’m calling you," Kate continued, her voice trembling. "You’ve always had a good relationship with Richard. Maybe you could talk to him, get him to rethink this. You know he respects you... and you used to help us out financial
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 276
Chapter 276That evening, as the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over the city, Alisha and her dad, Richard, made their way to the hospital to visit Liam Carter. They had promised to come, and despite the chaotic day at home, Alisha was determined to keep that promise.The day had been anything but peaceful. From the moment Richard had woken up, the house had been filled with the sound of his and Kate’s voices clashing in argument. Richard was resolute in his decision to divorce Kate, his patience long worn thin by years of unresolved tension and recent betrayals. But Kate, equally stubborn, refused to leave. She insisted that she had every right to stay, that she wouldn’t let Richard push her out of her own home.Richard wouldn't listen to anyone, not even Pa Aaron when he came around earlier.The old man had tried to reconcile them both, but Richard wouldn't have any of it. He told Pa Aaron to leave his house or he'd call the police on him and have him locked up.The old

Chapter 277Meanwhile after a very long conversation, Alisha leaned forward slightly, her voice soft but curious. "Liam, how’s Kai Nakamura doing?" she asked.Liam smiled warmly. "Kai’s doing great. He's been taking charge of Carter Comb while I'm recovering. He's a solid friend, and I trust him completely. In fact, he's supposed to stop by later this evening."Alisha nodded approvingly. "That's good to hear. Kai is a very good friend, Liam. You should always treat him right."Liam chuckled. "Of course, Alisha. Kai is not just a friend, he’s my personal assistant, and I make sure he's treated well. He's invaluable to me."As they were talking, Richard’s phone rang, interrupting the moment. He glanced at the screen and saw it was an old friend, someone who hadn’t been in touch since he fell ill. He answered the call with a cold tone."Hello?" Richard greeted, his voice lacking warmth."Richard, I just heard the good news! How are you doing? How’s your health now?" The friend’s voice wa
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 278
Chapter 278Kai immediately recognized him as Mr. Collen, the chairman of the board at Carter Comb.Mr. Collen had been annoyed when Liam had appointed Kai as the acting CEO during his hospitalization, believing that he should have been the one to take the position.Ever since, he had been disrespectful toward Kai, though Kai had chosen to ignore it, focusing instead on the more pressing issues at hand.Collen strode up to the desk and dropped the stack of documents with a thud. "What you’re doing here is nonsense, Mr. Grey," he snapped, his voice dripping with disdain. "You should involve the government in this investigation. This is too big for some private investigator to handle..."Kai looked up from his seat, his expression calm but his eyes cold. He let Collen’s words hang in the air for a moment before responding. "Is that all, Mr. Collen?"Collen bristled at the dismissive tone. "No, it’s not all. You’re overstepping your bounds, Grey. This isn’t some small-time operation you’
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 279
Chapter 279As he exited the building, he saw Collen standing under the dim glow of the parking lot lights, furiously yelling at someone. Squinting, Kai realized that the target of Collen’s wrath was Gregor.Collen was in a rage, his face flushed red as he jabbed a finger at Gregor’s chest, who stood there stoically, not responding to the older man's provocations.Kai sighed heavily and walked towards them, his footsteps echoing in the quiet night. "Collen," he called out as he approached, "what’s going on here?"Collen barely glanced at him before turning back to Gregor. "I’m warning you, don’t ever show your face around Carter Comb again, or else—"Kai’s patience was wearing thin. "Or else what?" he interrupted, his voice cold and firm.Collen finally turned to face Kai, his eyes flashing with anger. "Mind your business," he snapped. "This doesn’t concern you."Kai felt his temper rising, but he forced himself to remain calm. He wasn’t a man of many words, preferring to let his acti

Chapter 280As Gregor drove away from Carter Comb, his mind replayed the events that had led him to this point.The night sky was dark, with only the occasional streetlight illuminating the road ahead. His grip on the steering wheel was firm as he mulled over the decisions that had brought him into the heart of this dangerous game.Securing the job as the private investigator for the case had been a calculated move, one that he and James had meticulously planned.He remembered the day of the assassination attempt on Liam Carter, a day that had been seared into his memory.They had disguised themselves as ordinary workers, and had infiltrated the scene, their goal clear: to learn more about Liam’s intentions, particularly his sudden interest in acquiring EMC.But what they found had only deepened the mystery. Despite their thorough search, they had uncovered nothing tangible, nothing that pointed directly to Liam’s true motives. Instead, they had witnessed something far more disturbing

Chapter 281Williams nudged Sasha gently, his voice a low whisper in the dimly lit hotel room. "Wake up, it's time," he said, his tone carrying the weight of the mission that lay ahead.Sasha stirred, rolling over in the bed and blinking groggily as she tried to focus on his face. She sat up quickly, wiping the sleep from her eyes. "What time is it?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep.Williams was already on his feet, moving with a quiet urgency. He glanced at his watch, the faint glow of the dial illuminating his features. "It's after eleven, a few minutes to twelve. We need to move fast," he replied, his tone clipped and businesslike.Sasha nodded, the gravity of the situation sinking in. The grogginess disappeared almost instantly, replaced by a sharp alertness as she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. The room was cool, the air heavy with the tension of what was to come.Williams was already gathering their gear, his movements efficient and precise. He
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 282
Chapter 282Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Sky Care. It was a few minutes to midnight, and Williams pulled the car into the parking lot, the silence of the night pressing down on them like a heavy blanket.The area was deserted, as most people had long since retired for the night. Sky Care had never had any incidents involving assassins, so the security was minimal—an oversight that Williams planned to exploit to its fullest.Williams turned off the engine and turned to face Sasha. The tension in the car was palpable, thick with the weight of what they were about to do.He leaned closer, his voice low but firm. "Remember the plan," he began, his eyes locking onto hers, searching for any hint of hesitation. "Get in, knock down any nurse you come across as fast as you can. Change into her uniform and head straight to Liam's ward. Liquidate him and get out as fast as you can. I'll be waiting for you here."Sasha didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she unbuckled her seatbelt and z

Chapter 397
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 396
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 394
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 393
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 390
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
