Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 227 - Who is Jason Grey
On the other side of the city, Andrew was seated in his father's office. They were going over mundane tasks for Sinclair Enterprises, but as Andrew looked over the papers, his mind couldn't help but travel to more concerning topics.He tore his eyes from the document in his hands and focused his gaze on his father instead.“Did you lose something in my forehead? Why are you staring at me like that?” Stefan drawled out in a tone that sounded both annoyed and unbothered. Although he was speaking to Andrew, he didn’t lift his head up to look up at him and was still focused on the papers on his desk."Father, did you kill Officer William?” Andrew blurted out the question before he could stop himself. “Don’t be an idiot. I wouldn’t kill someone so insignificant." Stefan stated, At first it put Andrew at ease, but the ease was short-lived and it withered once Stefan continued, “But I would get someone to do it for me.” He finished in a low casual tone, still focused on the papers.Colour
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 228 -All his enemies
“When I said I wanted a meal, I didn’t mean I wanted one in your awful apartment,” Serena complained as she sat on the couch in Connor’s living room with a bowl of rice in her hand.“Today we dine here, but once I get what’s mine, we’ll eat at the finest restaurants that the world has to offer,” Connor replied as he sat down next to her.“And when will that be?” Serena asked."Well, that all depends on how fast you can get our dear Jason out of jail,” Connor replied.“It’s not easy. I’m sure the judge has a personal vendetta against Jason. The evidence is weak, and on top of that, he denied him bail,” Serena complained.“The judge may not have a personal vendetta against him, but I'm sure he was convinced by someone who does,” Connor said.Serena’s eyes widened slightly, and she dropped her bowl of rice on the coffee table in front of her, now fully immersed in the conversation. “You’re totally right. Do you think his ex-father-in-law would have anything to do with this?”“Most likely
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 229 -Dead
After Serena’s visit, Jason’s hopes were slightly lifted. He returned to his cell and sat on his bed while Wylie did sit-ups on the floor. The Godfather was also in the cell, but as always, he kept to himself and didn’t converse with either Jason or Wylie.Both bored out of their minds, they started playing a game of twenty questions.“Have you written your will yet?” Wylie asked Jason.Jason’s brows furrowed in confusion. “No, why would you ask that?”“Because of the way Rosco acted towards you, it’s obvious that he’s got it out for you,” Wylie replied. Jason scoffed “That’s the kind of person Rosco is. He just acts that way to try and intimidate everyone.”"Well, it works! No one goes against him here." Wylie said, then did his last sit-up. Exhausted, he lay on the floor. “Why do you talk about him like you’ve known him for so long?”“When I was in jail the first time, he was there too, and he and his goons beat me up badly,” Jason admitted.“He beat you up?” Wylie’s eyes widened
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 230 - Hospital Visit
At the hospital, Reuben went into Timothy’s room with Evelyn.“Oh my God,” Evelyn gasped when she saw the state that Timothy was in.Instinctively, Reuben reached out and held her hand to support her. Slowly, they approached the bed that Timothy lay in.Reuben didn’t know what he expected to feel when he saw Timothy. Although he knew him fairly well, they usually only met up when it concerned Jason. But when he saw Timothy lying in the hospital bed, hooked up to all kinds of machines and grasping for life, Reuben’s heart ached.Evelyn reached out, placing a hand on her nephew’s arm, hoping for some sign of life, some indication that he could feel her.But there was nothing. Just the rhythmic rise and fall of Timothy’s chest, controlled by the machines that kept him breathing.“I… I don’t understand how this happened.” Evelyn whispered to Timothy as she wept softly.The sight of Evelyn desperately trying to speak to her unconscious nephew only broke Reuben’s heart the more.“Evelyn,” R
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 231 - Unwanted visitor
Reuben knocked on Connor’s apartment door and stood firm outside, determined to get answers from Connor.“Who could that be?” Serena exclaimed inside Connor’s bedroom. In one swift motion, she put on her shirt, which Connor had taken off only a few minutes ago.“It’s obviously someone who hates me because they’re ruining a perfect moment,” Connor complained as he put on his shirt.Connor walked over to Serena and placed a kiss on her cheek “Stay here," he told her before walking out of the bedroom and closing the door.Reuben knocked again, this time much louder than the mat.“I’m coming” Connor shouted, “Break the damn door, why don’t you?” he muttered under his breath.Finally, he reached the front door and opened it. In front of him stood Reuben, who had a frown on his lips.“Good afternoon” Connor greeted, his voice full of genuine curiosity and shock. He raised a brow. “You are Jason’s friend, aren’t you... Mr. Robin, isn’t it?”"Reuben.” Reuben corrected him in an annoyed tone.
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 232 - Following him
As soon as Reuben walked out of Connor’s apartment, Connor knew he was a threat that needed to be eliminated, just like any other problem that stood in his way.Without wasting any time, he stormed into his bedroom.“I’m sorry if I made noise; something fell over accidentally,” Serena apologized.But her apology went unheard, as Connor remained silent, too busy with putting on a baseball hat and a pair of sunglasses.He walked over to the window to find Reuben and saw that he had just left the apartment building.“I may not be back for a while,” Connor said to Serena before rushing out the bedroom door.Immediately, Serena got off the bed and hurried after Connor, stopping him before he walked out of the apartment.“Wait, don't leave me here.” Serena said, her voice firm “Where are you going?” Serena asked.“I don’t have time to explain,” Connor said, not stopping his movement toward the door.“Are you going to kill him?” Serena asked. “I heard everything you two talked about, and I k
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 233 - What's going on here?
In the taxi, Reuben’s mind raced as he thought of how to piece together the events of the night of the anniversary party. Now he had to not only figure out Jason’s situation but Timothy’s as well.He ran his fingers through his ginger locks when he heard his cell phone ring.Reuben picked up his cell phone and saw that it was Andrew who was calling him.Sighing, he picked up the call. “Andrew, what’s up?” he said in an overly animated tone. It was the same feigned tone that he always used to talk to the Sonvlairs, ever since Jason asked him to pose as an investor and friend to the family.“Nothing much,” Andrew said. “I’m going to grab lunch; do you want to come? I could also give you those documents you asked for.”Reuben furrowed his brow in frustration. Currently, he was on his way to visit Jason and tell him about Timothy’s condition, and seeing Andrew wasn’t part of his plans in the slightest.The truth was that Reuben couldn’t help but feel bad for Andrew. Andrew didn’t know tha
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 234 - A tense lunch
Andrew and Reuben sat across from each other at a quaint, upscale bistro that was located near Sinclair Enterprises. The lunchtime crowd filled the room with a low hum of conversation, but at their table, an uneasy silence persisted between them. From the moment Reuben first saw Andrew, during their drive to the restaurant, and even now as they sat at the table, Reuben couldn’t help but notice that something was off about Andrew’s demeanour. And now that Reuben thought back to the call he had received from Andrew minutes ago, he sounded off then as well.Usually, when Andrew would invite Reuben to eat with him, the meal would just be an excuse to brag about a new deal he or his father had secured or to show off what luxury item he had purchased for himself or his family.But now, Andrew sat at the table, fidgeting with his fork and pushing his food around the plate rather than eating. His usual sharp, confident, and haughty presence was overshadowed by something that seemed to weigh

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
