JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 299
Chapter 299As soon as Eric arrived at the office, his driver promptly opened the door for him. Eric stepped out, smoothing his suit jacket as he walked toward the entrance.His thoughts kept drifting back to the news he had seen earlier, the images of the hospital incident, concerning the assassination attempt on Liam Carter's life kept replaying in his mind. What if Liam accuses him of being responsible for the attack? What if he tries to use it as leverage to gain control on EMC?But he pushed those thoughts aside; there was too much to do today.Today was crucial. The finalization of Liam Carter's partnership with the board was set to be sealed, and there was no room for distraction.As he approached the entrance, the security guard, recognizing him, quickly opened the door and greeted him with a respectful nod."Good morning, Mr. Wood," the guard said, standing tall."Morning," Eric replied curtly, barely breaking his stride as he entered the building.He glanced at his watch and

Chapter 300Eric walked into his office, the door clicking shut behind him as he took in the familiar surroundings.The TV in his office was on, the news anchor's voice filling the room with updates on the SkyCare incident.Eric sighed, the weight of the situation pressing on him, and quickly grabbed the remote to turn it off. The sudden silence was a small relief.He moved to his desk, noticing a neat stack of files already waiting for him. His secretary, Cara, had likely placed them there earlier, ensuring everything was in order for the day. Eric sat down, running a hand through his hair before picking up the first file. As he flipped through the documents, reviewing the details carefully, his mind kept drifting back to the news. He signed some papers and set them aside, trying to stay focused, but it was no use. The incident at the hospital was too fresh, too unsettling.Glancing at his watch, he noted it was still just after 8 AM. The board meeting wasn't until 10, giving him so

Chapter 301After ending the call with Eric Wood, James Wane sat in his car, his mind racing.The second assassination attempt on Liam Carter had just added fuel to an already dangerous fire.Eric’s fear that Liam might suspect him for the attack gnawed at the edges of James’s thoughts. He couldn’t afford to let this situation spiral any further.His fingers moved over the phone screen swiftly as he dialed Gregor’s number. The phone rang only once before Gregor answered, his tone brisk and professional.“Gregor, it’s James,” he said, his voice sharp, cutting straight to the point. “Have you heard about the second assassination attempt on Liam Carter’s life?”Gregor's voice came through, steady but with an underlying tension. “Yeah, I’ve seen the news. I’m actually on my way to Carter Comb right now concerning the private investigator job.”“Good,” James said, exhaling slightly. He looked out at the busy streets, watching people go about their lives, oblivious to the chaos that was bre
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 302
Chapter 302Williams Jesse sat alone in his dimly lit hotel room at sky suite hotel, the weight of the previous night's events pressing down on him.His mind was consumed with swirling thoughts, replaying the botched attempt to kill Liam Carter.He clenched his fists as he wondered, ‘If I had gone in, would I have been able to kill Liam myself?’The question gnawed at him, and he began to contemplate if he and Sasha would have stood a chance against Nathaniel Grey. Now, Sasha was dead, and the plan had failed. His anger boiled over, and in a sudden outburst, he slammed his hand hard on the table across the room.The dull thud echoed in the quiet space, but it did little to relieve the frustration brewing inside him.Remorse began to creep into his thoughts, but Williams quickly shoved it aside, silencing the voice of guilt with cold indifference. ‘Sasha was just a pawn,’ he reminded himself. He had sacrificed her, and that’s all she ever was—a disposable piece in a much bigger game.

Chapter 303Later that evening, Jaxon’s phone buzzed loudly on the table, the sharp sound cutting through the otherwise quiet room. He glanced at the screen, his lips curling into a knowing grin as he saw Ken’s name flash across it. He picked up the call, turning slightly away from Williams and Milly.“Everything’s set up?” Jaxon asked, his voice low, though the excitement in his tone was evident.On the other end, Ken’s voice responded, muffled but clearly affirming that all was in place. Jaxon nodded to himself, then ended the call. He pocketed his phone and turned toward the others, a playful smirk plastered on his face. “Well,” he said, stretching his arms as if shaking off any tension, “I’ve got some business to take care of.”Williams, already suspecting what “business” meant, arched an eyebrow, watching Jaxon closely. He leaned forward in his seat, his glass of wine balanced casually in one hand. “What kind of business?” Williams asked, keeping his tone neutral.Jaxon gave a s

Chapter 304As they drove through the dimly lit streets, the silence between Jaxon and Ken was punctuated by the steady hum of the engine.The night had taken on an eerie stillness, with only the occasional pedestrian in sight. The city felt deserted, almost like it was waiting for something to happen. Ken was holding the image of their target which was Mr. Sterling's baby mama and her kid, and spoke quietly into the phone to an informant. "What's it? We’re almost there. Keep your eyes on them. Don’t let them leave your sight."The voice of the informant crackled through the speaker, "She’s still here with the kid, but there’s another woman and her kid with her now. They are having a conversation while the two kids are playing with their toys at the park."The phone was on loudspeaker and Jaxon leaned forward from the driver’s seat, his fingers tapping restlessly on the steering wheel. "I don’t care who’s with her," he said, voice sharp with impatience. "You just make sure you don’t
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 305
Chapter 305Meanwhile, Williams pulled up behind them. He watched from his vantage point as Jaxon and Ken exited the car. He could barely make out their figures in the dim lighting of the park, but he knew what was about to happen.His stomach churned with unease. Jaxon was always reckless, but this plan… kidnapping his father's family? It was beyond dangerous—it was suicidal and everything could backfire at him. He stayed back, keeping his distance, but close enough to follow without being seen. His heart pounded in his chest as he carefully maneuvered his car to a darker, more concealed spot, watching as Jaxon and Ken moved toward the play area with the thugs following closely behind.Williams clenched his jaw, tension creeping up his spine. *This is it,* he thought. *Once Jaxon makes his move, there’s no going back.* He took a deep breath, weighing his options.He could let Jaxon carry out the plan, or he could step in, stop this madness before it escalated further. But then what?
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 306
Chapter 306The scene was chaotic. Mr. Sterling's baby mama ran after the men, her cries filling the air as she pleaded for her child’s life.But the thugs, unfazed by her desperation, continued toward the SUV, the child's screams growing fainter as they got closer to the vehicle. All the while, Jaxon watched from the shadows, his expression cold, unmoved by the heart-wrenching scene unfolding before him.Ken, standing next to him, kept a watchful eye on the situation, ensuring everything went according to plan. His gaze flickered toward Jaxon for approval, but Jaxon said nothing, his eyes fixed on the thugs as they carried out his orders. Meanwhile, Mary, still cradling Claire, tried to console her while keeping her own rising terror at bay. She glanced over at the Mr. Sterling's baby mama, who was now on her knees, crying and shouting for her child.As Mr. Sterling's baby mama frantically ran toward the thugs, her desperate cries echoing through the park, one of the kidnappers — a

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
