Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 267 - Facong reality
Roland’s head throbbed as consciousness returned. His eyes fluttered open, squinting against the dim light of the unfamiliar room. The first thing he noticed was the uncomfortable pressure on his wrists. He tugged instinctively but found them bound to the arms of a chair. Panic surged.The second thing he noticed was the man standing in front of him, a tall, broad figure with an amused smirk on his face.“Where the hell am I?” Roland demanded, his voice raw. “What did you do to me?”Shadow leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed. “Calm down, big guy. You’re in Brooklyn.”Roland frowned. “I know I’m in Brooklyn; I drove here.” He glanced around the apartment, disoriented. Shadow chuckled. “So why did you ask?”Roland jerked against the bindings, his anger flaring. “I'm asking why I am in this room and why I am tied up. You better let me go, you thug.Shadow pushed off the wall, his demeanour darkening. “You’re the one who went berserk and attacked someone outside. This? This is
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 268 - The choice is all yours
Exactly an hour later, when Roland was somewhere between regretting his actions and being outright disgusted with himself, the door creaked open. Roland glanced up, expecting to see Amelia, or worse, Shadow and Connie. Irritation etched across his face when he remembered the duo. But his expectations weren’t even close, and his eyes widened in disbelief as Jason stepped inside, casually closing the door behind him.Roland blinked. “You?” Roland breathed, attempting to rise from his chair, but the ropes stopped his ascent. “How are you…he searched his mind for a word to say instead of ‘alive’ “…here?”Jason’s lips curled into a smug smirk. “Surprised to see me alive?”Fear flickered in Roland’s gaze, but he scoffed, his hands instinctively gripped the edge of his chair. “No, I'm…Surprised to see you out of prison.”Jason laughed, the sound low and sharp. “You’re a terrible liar, Roland. I know you and your little band of bandits tried to get me killed in there. But it turns out I’m tou
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 269 - Sunday morning surprise
It was the morning of Sunday, and Roland hadn’t left the room since Jason untied him the previous day. He sat by the window, unmoving, the breakfast Amelia had brought earlier untouched on the desk. His gaze was fixed on the horizon, but his thoughts churned endlessly, far removed from the peaceful view outside.Amelia was with him in the room, partially because she didn’t want him to leave and not agree to help them but mostly because, as much as she hated to admit it, a part of her felt sorry for him.Jason was sitting in the living room of the apartment; the documents Amelia had given him were sprawled across the table in front of him, and his ear was to his cell phone as Dario updated him on his search for Reuben. “Well, the bad news is that we haven’t found him, but the good news is that we haven’t found him.”“What?” Jason asked.“It’s good news because we haven’t found his lifeless body. So at least for now we’re sure he’s not dead. Dario replied; he spoke of death so casually
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 270 - Not the hero
Jason stood outside the prison gates, leaning casually against Diana’s car. His sunglasses reflected the late afternoon sun, shielding his eyes as he waited. Taking out his phone, he dialled the officiator.“Bring her outside. I’m waiting here,” Jason said firmly, his voice calm but unyielding.“Understood, sir. One moment.”A few minutes later, faint voices began to echo from the prison entrance.“Where are you taking me?” Diana’s voice carried a mix of confusion and irritation.“Please calm down, ma’am,” the officiator replied, trying to soothe her as footsteps drew nearer.“Is it Jason? Are you taking me to him?” Diana’s voice cracked slightly, growing more urgent.Before the officiator could answer, they stepped outside, and Diana’s eyes immediately scanned the area. Jason, standing tall and composed, slid his sunglasses off.Diana froze for a heartbeat. Seeing him standing there felt like a scene from a movie where two people finally reunite, and she couldn’t stop herself from ru
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 271 - Diana’s eyes opened
Diana took a shaky breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she folded them together on the table. It was clear that she was struggling to get the words out, as though battling herself over whether she should admit what was on her mind. But eventually, she did.“There was a night… A night that Andrew came home drunk,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper. “He never does that. He always fought for our father’s approval, and for Andrew to come home like that, to a house our father was in… I knew something was wrong. I’d suspected it before, but that night confirmed it for me.”Jason leaned in slightly, his expression unreadable, but his eyes focused intently on her.“That night, one of the maids came to fetch Andrew,” Diana continued. “She said Father wanted to see him in his study. Andrew was drunk and barely stable, but he went anyway. I... I did something I wouldn’t normally do.” She hesitated, her lips pressing together in a tight line. “I eavesdropped. I followed him to the
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 272 - Blocked Accounts
The next morning Jason sat at his makeshift desk in the living room, his fingers moving swiftly across his laptop keyboard. The screen displayed the Elysian Syndicate’s financial dashboard, the accounts full of funds that Andrew and Kent no longer controlled. Beside him, Amelia, Shadow, and Connie leaned in with bated breath. A small notification popped up on the screen: “Account Access Blocked.”Jason leaned back with a satisfied grin.“It’s done,” he said, swivelling his chair to face the others. “They can’t touch a single cent.”Amelia smirked, and Connie and Shadow high-fived each other.“Kent’s going to lose it when he sees this,” Amelia said.Shadow chuckled. “They’re probably already on the phone with their IT team blaming them for this mess.”Connie grinned. “No, I hope they haven't seen it yet. Amelia needs to be there so she can describe the priceless look that they'll have on their faces.Before they could celebrate further, a knock at the door interrupted the moment. Conni
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 273 - A Daughter’s dilemma
Diana sat in her room at the Sinclair Mansion, staring out the window. The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, but its warmth didn’t reach her. There was an icy cold storm brewing inside of her caused by everything she had learnt about her father. She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling as she mentally rehearsed what she was about to do.This has to be done, she reminded herself. For Lana. For me. For Jason.Rising to her feet, she smoothed the front of her dress, squared her shoulders, and headed toward her father’s study. Her hand trembled slightly as she knocked on the heavy door.“Who is it?” came Stefan’s deep, commanding voice.“It’s me,” Diana replied, steadying her voice.“Come in.”She opened the door and stepped inside. Stefan glanced up from his desk, his sharp eyes assessing her.“I’m surprised you have any time for me,” he said with a slight smirk. “Your mornings are usually devoted entirely to your daughter.”A strange thing happens when you find
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter 274 - Five million
Connie, under the alias Renata, stepped into the Elysian Syndicate, her red-bottom heels clicking and contrasting sharply against the white marble floor. Painting it red wherever she stepped. With her fur coat and extensions that battled her in height, she fully embodied a different persona. A caricature of a mob princess, some might say, but she wanted to go all out and was thoroughly enjoying it.Beside her, Shadow—now Steel—kept a measured pace, his imposing figure exuding quiet confidence. The brim of his hat cast a shadow over his eyes, concealing the hidden camera embedded in its design.Kent and Andrew stood near the entrance, their expressions calm but calculating.“Ah, Renata and Steel,” Kent greeted with a polite smile, extending his hand. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you both.”Andrew nodded, his tone equally professional. “We’ve heard great things. Shall we?”Connie accepted Kent’s handshake with a sharp smile, her grip so firm it stunned Kent for a second. “The pleasu

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
