Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 201- Hoping it was a nightmare
The garden buzzed with chaotic energy. The serenity of the area was lost and now the air was full of the fear, confusion, and reproach from various guests.“Do you really think he killed him?” Noah said.“Who knows what he’s capable of? How awful to think we could’ve been living with a murderer all those years.”Annette said. She wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to talk down on Jason, especially now that they had just found out a few minutes ago that he held such a high position.“There’s no way. Jason would never” Diana whispered as she took in the sight in front of her. She didn’t know when the words slipped out of her, she meant to keep them as just thoughts but she wasn’t able to.Her words made all the heads of her family members turn to her and look at her in confusion but she didn’t care, her eyes were still fixed on her ex-husband.Jason stood at the centre of the, his hands raised in a futile attempt to placate the crowd. “I found him like this,” he repeated, his voice wa

The police arrived swiftly, the flashing lights of their cars casting eerie shadows across the garden. Officers spilled out, moving with practised efficiency. They immediately began to secure the area, setting up additional barriers. Detectives approached the body, taking photographs and collecting evidence. They meticulously examined the area, marking spots of interest and gathering samples. Meanwhile, other officers conducted brief interviews with witnesses, including the guests and the guards, taking notes on their statements. Jason, Amelia, and Rieben looked on anxiously as the police conducted their investigations. “Jason, things aren't looking good for you buddy” Reuben sighed. “You think I don't know that,” Jason said, the words came out harsher than he intended. Amelia and Reuben exchanged knowing glances, understanding how Jason was cracking under the pressure. “It's okay Jason, You’re innocent and we’re going to make sure that you get out of this,” Amelia said.

Reuben rushed back into the main hall and quickly moved through the room, scanning the worried faces of the guests who had gathered for the party. He found Timothy near the buffet table, his eyes wide with confusion and concern. Reuben gently grabbed his arm, leading him away from the crowd.“Timothy, we need to talk,” Reuben said, his voice steady but urgent.Timothy looked at him, searching for answers. “What’s happening, Reuben? I was in the bathroom, and when I came out, I started hearing strange things. Something about Jason and a murder”Reuben took a deep breath, knowing he needed to keep calm for both their sakes. “Jason went to the garden and found the lifeless body of an officer there. It’s a long story, and I still don’t know all the details of why he went there, but apparently, the officer had texted him asking him to meet him there, and they also spoke on the phone yesterday. But when he got to the garden, the officer died. Now Jason is on his way to the station for quest
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 204 - What are you doing here
At the police station, Jason sat in the cold, sterile interrogation room, the fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows on the walls. His hands were cuffed to the metal table, and he could hear the faint murmurs and buzz of activity outside the door. His mind raced as he tried to piece together the events leading up to Officer William’s murder.The door opened, and two detectives walked in. Detective Harris, a stern-faced woman in her forties, and Detective Lee, a younger man with a sharp gaze, took their seats across from him. Both wore the insignia of the Luger, a special unit within the police force tasked with investigating crimes involving law enforcement personnel."Mr. Grey, I’m Detective Harris, and this is Detective Lee," Harris began, her voice firm. "We need to ask you some questions about the events at the Grand Lumiere tonight. And I suggest you are honest with us because things do not look good for you. Lying to us would only make it worse"Jason nodded, taking a deep bre
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 205 - Plans for the night
Back at the Grand Lumiere, Timothy reached Jason’s car and knocked on the window lightly.His knocking woke Connor, who had fallen asleep in the vehicle. On waking up, Connor opened the door and stepped out of the car.“Mr. Timothy, good evening." Connor greeted, his voice slurred slightly. He shifted his gaze, looking around for Jason, then turned back to Timothy. “Where is Jason? Is he still at the party?”Timothy sighed “No, Jason is at the police station.”Connor’s eyes widened. “The police station? What’s he doing there?”“To cut a long story short, there was a murder at the party, and Jason was found with the body, so he was taken away by the officers,” Timothy explained. He tried to be neutral, but worry was clearly etched across his features.Connor frowned as he heard the news, but not because he was worried for Jason or concerned about what happened. He frowned because he was annoyed. If Jason was imprisoned, then his plans would be even harder to execute. “How did that idi
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 206 - Someone to talk to
Timothy’s eyelids fluttered open, and a sharp pain radiated from the back of his head. The cold, hard surface beneath him sent chills through his body. As his vision cleared, he realised he was lying on a concrete floor in a dimly lit warehouse, his hands and feet bound by ropes. The sound of dripping water echoed around him, and he struggled to sit up, his movements sluggish and uncoordinated.“Finally, I was starting to think I'd have to hire a marching band to wake you.” Connor’s voice, now clear and cold, pierced the silence. Timothy’s eyes snapped to the source of the voice, finding Connor standing a few feet away, his face shrouded in shadows.“Adam” Timothy breathed out, his eyes full of disbelief as he stared at the man in front of him. “What am I doing here?”Connor rolled his eyes. “I think that’s quite obvious, don’t you?”"Yes, but why are you doing all of this? How are you even alive?” Timothy questioned, his voice going thin from surprise. He still couldn’t believe his
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 207 - Where it all started
“If you tell me everything, you’re going to get rid of me after, aren’t you? '' Timothy said. His words were slurred as he was still recovering from the effects of the hit to his head and the drug.“Relax Timothy, just let me talk, don't worry about what happens after” Connor smirked. He pulled a small wooden stool from the corner and placed it in the corner and sat on it, making himself comfortable.“I can't tell you everything of course, but for when this all started…It started the second I found out that Michael wasn't my biological father”Timothy blinked then blinked again. He was almost certain that he didn't hear Connor right. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice full of surprise and confusion.“I meant exactly what I said. Michael isn't my biological father. Sebastian and I are half-brothers, we have the same mother but not the same father. Apparently, faithfulness wasn't one of our dear mother’s virtues and she decided to have me with the man who wasn't a multi-billionaire
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 208 - Midnight Blue
The pity that Timothy felt was now creeping away, and the anger quickly rushed in to fill the void it left.“You tried to kill him!” Timothy exclaimed, the words alone tasting bitter in his mouth. He had underestimated just how callous Connor really was."Yes, and his mother as well, but they escaped. But let’s just say I made even,” Connor. grinned.“What do you mean by that?” Timothy asked. At this point, he wasn’t. sure that he was ready to hear any more of Connor’s answers, afraid of what else he would reveal.“Let’s just say that a premeditated car crash can easily be made to look like an accident." Connor said nonchalantly as he shrugged his shoulders, “I learned a lot from those ‘bad’ people I was mixed up with. The Russians truly know best.”All the color drained from Timothy’s face. He couldn’t believe how Connor talked about his family and, much worse, the things that he did to them and was still planning to do to Jason. Timothy thought for sure that there was more to it; he

Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER For the first time in two years, Jason had come to see his grandfather and mother. He stood before the grave, staring at the name engraved on the marble headstone in bold and grand letters. MICHAEL ALLEN GREY He shifted uncomfortably, his hands buried deep in his pockets. “Hi, Grandpa,” he said, his voice quiet and uncertain. The word still felt foreign to him, but it was starting to feel less so. “Grandpa. It’s getting easier to say that, I think. Every time I come here, it’ll get a little easier.” Jason took a deep breath, looking down at the bouquet of lilies in his hand. “Well, I don’t really know what to say, but Diana advised I should just speak from the heart.” A small smile crept on his lips when he said that. Diana had been so supportive throughout his journey with grief. She was the one that gave him the final push to see his grandfather and mother after he’d avoided it for so long. He didn’t think he’d be able to bear the pain of coming to this
Chapter 314 - Greatest strength
The stark fluorescent lights of the hospital buzzed faintly as Jason paced outside the emergency room. The air smelt sterile, but Jason’s mind was anything but clear. Paramedics wheeled Abigail through the double doors, her body limp on the stretcher. His voice cracked as he followed close behind, gripping her cold hand.“It’s going to be okay, Mom,” Jason whispered, his voice trembling. “Everything’s going to be okay. I promise.”Reuben stood to the side, phone in hand, ensuring every necessary call had been made. The police had taken Connor’s lifeless body, and an ambulance had quickly arrived to transport Abigail. Lana, shaken but safe, had already been returned home.As Abigail disappeared into surgery, Jason remained rooted in place, staring at the doors as if willing them to open and bring her back. His chest heaved with uneven breaths, his hands clenched into fists.“Jason!”The familiar voice jolted him, and he turned just in time to see Diana rushing toward him. Without hesit
Chapter 313 - Shots fired
The call Jason had made on his way to the warehouse was to Reuben. He instructed him to draft a fake deed and place it in a briefcase along with a gun. He also told Reuben to park nearby, out of sight of Connor, but not to leave completely. Reuben was instructed not to come upstairs to the warehouse, as Jason wasn’t sure what Connor might be capable of. Jason made it clear that Reuben should stay safe and avoid any unnecessary risks.Reuben, of course, took some creative liberties with the document.“Let my mother and daughter go. Now.”Jason’s hand trembled as he pointed the gun at Connor, the weight of the weapon foreign and heavy in his grip. Connor froze, fury burning in his eyes. He slowly reached for his own gun, drawing it with a deliberate, practiced motion. “Or,” he sneered, “I can always shoot you, your mother, and then your daughter. In that order.”Jason didn’t flinch. His tone was like steel. “Try it. See how that goes for you.”“Your hand is literally shaking,” Connor d
Chapter 312 - Nephew to Uncle
The warehouse loomed in the distance like a dark castle against the evening sky. Jason’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he approached. His jaw clenched, fury and determination burning within him. He parked the car, stepped out, and strode toward the entrance.The moment he stepped inside, Connor’s voice echoed through the cavernous space.“The man of the hour has arrived,” Connor drawled, a mocking grin on his face.Jason didn’t hesitate. “And the scumbag of the century is waiting for him.”Connor chuckled, seemingly amused. “I like you, nephew. You can give it back.”Jason glared at him. “And you know how to take what doesn’t belong to you. Like a disgusting thief.”Connor shrugged nonchalantly. “I’ve been called worse.” He looked around theatrically. “But I don’t see you with any documents.”“It takes longer than a few minutes to draft that kind of deed, genius,” Jason shot back.Connor’s expression darkened slightly. “But I told you to come with the document. I don’t care
Chapter 311 - Not losing them
Jason’s heart pounded in his chest as the phone line went dead. He stood frozen for a moment as Connor’s dark words sunk in. His mind raced as he tried to think of a way to fix the situation, then his voice broke the silence.“Motherfucker,” Jason growled under his breath, clenching the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.At that moment, Diana rushed back into the room, her face pale, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. “Jason, I… I talked to the neighbors. They didn’t see anything except for a man who looked suspicious walking into the neighbourhood, but… they don’t know anything else.” Her voice cracked. “What happened? Where are they?”Jason didn’t even need to answer; his entire body was shaking with frustration and fear. “Diana, calm down. It’s okay. I’m going to make everything okay.”“Don’t tell me to calm down!” Diana snapped, her eyes wild. “Don’t tell me everything is okay! My daughter and your mother are missing. The house is a mess. They were obviously
Chapter 310 - Your life is on their hands
Weeks had passed since Lana’s surgery. She had been discharged from the hospital, and to celebrate, Diana threw a small, intimate party. Everyone who had taken the test and waited alongside her for the surgery to finish was invited—except for Christopher, who had quietly exited her life after learning he wasn’t Lana’s father. Christopher sent his regards to Diana and even sent a congratulatory message to Jason, acknowledging his newfound role as a father. The other person who couldn’t be in attendance was Michael.He was still under observation at the hospital, something that worried Jason. The worry for Lana’s health was out of the way, but it was replaced by worry for Connor’s next move. Connor, still being on the loose, gnawed at him daily. Each day without Connor in a prison cell—or, preferably for Jason, buried six feet underground—heightened his fear for his mother’s safety. That week, Jason had finally decided to hire bodyguards for Abigail, wondering why he hadn’t done so soo
Chapter 309 - It’s going to be fine
Three hours later, the tension and anxiety from all the people in the waiting room rolled off of their bodies in waves as they waited for news from the doctor. Diana sat beside her mother, Annette, gently rubbing her back in an attempt to keep her calm. Annette wrung her hands nervously, glancing at the clock on the wall.“Shouldn’t they be done by now?” Annette asked, her voice trembling with worry.Diana placed a steady hand on her shoulder. “Calm down, Mom,” she said softly, though her own heart felt like it was about to beat out of her chest.David, leaning against the far wall, snorted. “Funny for you to say,” he remarked. “I can practically hear your heart pounding from here.” He tried to take a light tone to lighten the mood, but his own voice also shook with worry.Diana opened her mouth to retort but was stopped when Jason, seated a little apart from the group, rose from his chair. He approached Diana and gently took her free hand in his, surprising her.“It’s going to be fin
Chapter 308 - Forgiveness
Michael was a match for the transplant.Everyone couldn’t have been happier when the news came almost two weeks ago. He’d agreed to do the surgery as soon as possible.He lay in the hospital bed, a faint but determined smile on his face. The sterile smell of antiseptics filled the room as the IV dripped steadily into his arm, preparing him for the surgery that could save his great-granddaughter’s life. Diana sat nearby, her hands clasped tightly together, her eyes glistening with gratitude and worry. Jason stood to the side, his arms crossed, watching the scene unfold. Looking at him now and comparing him to the vicious business tycoon he saw when he first met him at Grey Enterprises, it was hard to reconcile that it was the same man.He didn’t look as healthy as he first did when he stood at the top of the staircase with the confidence of a god and commanded his employees. Now he looked soft, old, and...fragile. Hooked up to all the machines. An annoying, unplaceable emotion settled
Chapter 307 - The Dinner
Jason arrived at the estate, his breath catching as the sprawling grounds came into view. The manor loomed in the distance, surrounded by an impeccably maintained landscape. His eyes swept across the estate, taking in the pristine clinic, the sports area, and the wide field. The scale of it all was staggering, but his gaze finally landed on the dense forest that bordered the property.Memories of that night flashed in his mind—the night his uncle had nearly ended his life. His stomach churned, and he clenched his fists, forcing himself to remember he wasn’t that frightened child anymore.Jason couldn’t shake the pit in his stomach at the thought of his uncle’s escape. They still hadn’t found him, and the unease gnawed at his mind. He shook his head, inhaling deeply. Focus, Jason. This night is for Lana. Get through this dinner and focus on her getting better.The staff awaited him as he approached the grand entrance. Michael stood among them, his authoritative presence commanding resp
