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

Jason sat on the couch, watching Amelia pace the apartment with nervous energy. Her hands kept brushing through her hair as if trying to shake off the morning’s events. She turned suddenly, her voice slightly breathless.“You have no idea how scared I was, Jason,” Amelia said. “When that secretary came into Kent’s office to tell him about the accounts and the way he looked at me…I thought for sure he knew.” She let out a shaky laugh. “I swear, I thought he was going to call me out right then and there.”Jason leaned back, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “But he didn’t.”Amelia stopped pacing and sighed. “No. He just turned around and gave me his usual ‘I’m superior to you’ attitude and sent me out of the office. Rudely, of course. I should’ve been pissed, but I was so relieved.” She paused, crossing her arms with a grin. “It’s kind of the best way things could’ve played out.”Jason nodded, his eyes full of quiet admiration. “You did well, Amelia. More than well. You’

Jason sat still, shock carving lines into his face. He couldn’t believe what Serena had just said. A child? His child? He turned to Serena, still trying to process, his lips parting to speak.But Serena held up her hand, her voice firm, “If what you’re about to ask has anything to do with whether or not I’ve had other partners or if this baby is yours, then let me stop you right there. I wouldn’t come here so confidently and confront you with a test if I wasn’t a hundred percent sure.” Her gaze hardened. “I haven’t been with anyone else since the two of us have been together. And I wasn’t with anyone a long while before that.”Jason ran a hand down his face, exhaling sharply. “Serena, I hope you can understand that this is… It’s hard to grasp. I don’t even know what to say.”Serena’s expression wavered, her voice rising with frustration. “And how do you think I feel, Jason? I’m the one carrying a child I never expected, especially at this point in my life or my career. Do you think t

Chapter 282 - Serena’s news
Diana had changed so much since Jason saw her in front of the prison a month ago.That was the first thing Jason noticed. Unlike the dishevelled woman who had stood outside the prison a month ago, Diana now carried a semblance of her former glow. Her skin had regained some of its radiance, her hair neatly kept. She looked better. Or so he’d thought till he looked into her eyes. If they were supposed to be the windows to the soul, then Diana’s spirit still bore the scars of everything her father and brother had done. All of their crimes. And the awful last words her father spoke to her.Jason had run into Diana a few times over the last month, mostly at the police station. Both had been there to give statements regarding Andrew, Stefan, or Kent. They would exchange polite words that often danced around the enormity of their shared history. Their conversations were about nothing, yet those fleeting moments meant more to Jason than he cared to admit. He wondered if they meant as much to

Chapter 281 - Legal Advisor needed
One month later.A month and some change had passed since Jason’s enemies were arrested.Roland pleaded guilty. With the help of Jason Lawyers, he managed to secure a relatively lenient sentence of 10 years, given his cooperation in exposing his associates crimes.Andrew also pleaded guilty, but his sentence was far harsher due to the severity of his actions. He received 20 years, with no possibility of parole for the first 15.As for Stefan and Kent, neither had pleaded guilty. Both were currently in jail awaiting trial, their faces a permanent fixture in the news. Stefan’s crimes were so extensive and damning that it was widely believed he might never spend another day outside of prison walls.Kent’s situation, while not as severe as Stefan’s, was no less grim. By the time he eventually walked free, he’d be nearing Roland’s current age if not older.As one could imagine, public trust in the Syndicate had plummeted, and Jason had spent nearly every waking moment trying to sweep up th

Chapter 280 - The end of an era
The museum was dimly lit, the natural light from the large windows muted by heavy curtains. Jason stood at the centre of the room, his posture calm, almost casual, as he faced Stefan Sinclair. The air between them was thick with unspoken tension, the kind that seemed to make even time stand still.As both men stared at each other, they realised that this was the first time they were alone together since that unfateful morning that Jason had walked into the police station and into Stefan’s trap.And both men wanted to make sure this would be their last meeting.Jason broke the silence, his voice laced with mock amusement. “Well, dear ex-father-in-law, do you want to start the heart-to-heart now? Or do you prefer we warm up with some small talk first?”Stefan’s face twisted with barely contained fury. He had come into the museum intending to play the role of the civil patriarch before finishing Jason off, but Jason’s smug demeanour was unbearable. The words burst out of him before he co

Chapter 279 - A fresh start?
Five minutes. It had only been five minutes since Jason Grey walked into the dining hall like a celebrity meeting his doting fans—and haters, Just five minutes, yet so much had already happened.Mildred, Richard, and even Damien made up the population of Jason’s fan club. They were utterly charmed by him; his every move, expression, his tailored Armani suit, his impeccable poise, and his air of quiet confidence had disarmed them completely. However, Jason hadn’t charmed them in the five minutes he’d been there. They became charmed much earlier when he told them his true identity. Frankly, he could have insulted their decor and spit in their fine china, and they would still be captivated by the grandson of Michael Allen Grey.Diana, meanwhile, had been exchanging furtive glances with Jason throughout those five minutes. Each look seemed to carry a silent plea, as if begging him to tread carefully. But Jason? Jason was calm, measured, and in complete control.And then there was Stefa

Chapter 278 - Memories
Clad in a tailored Armani suit, Jason looked every inch the part of a powerful heir. His black hair was styled to perfection, and his calm, unblinking demeanour seemed to cast a spell on everyone.Mildred gasped audibly, her eyes practically sparkling. “Oh my…” she murmured, as if Jason had stepped out of a magazine. Beside her, Richard was speechless, caught between admiration and disbelief.Damien, though already aware of Jason’s identity, was still taken aback. The man standing before them didn’t look ridiculed or cast aside. And he definitely didn’t look a bit like the ‘Thrifty Jay’ that they called him. No, he looked untouchable. Damien muttered under his breath, “I still can’t believe it…”Diana’s eyes were glued to Jason, hope swimming in them, as if silently praying the day would end in Jason’s favour.As for Stefan…A memory flashed unbidden into his mind, vivid and cutting.It was a sunny afternoon years ago, the day Diana had insisted he meet her boyfriend. They had arranged

The vineyard stretched endlessly in neat, sunlit rows, lush green vines crawling over carefully constructed trellises. The air was thick with the sweet smell of ripening grapes and damp soil, but inside the rustic estate house, Stefan Sinclair paced restlessly by the window, his phone clenched in his hand. He glanced at the screen for the hundredth time—no messages, no missed calls.Damien’s father, Richard, entered the room with a jovial smile, followed closely by his wife, Mildred.“Stefan,” Richard said warmly, his voice echoing slightly in the high-ceilinged room. “The vineyard is particularly beautiful this time of year, don’t you think?”Stefan turned, forcing a thin smile. “It is, Richard. Truly.” His tone flattened. “But I have to say, the service here is… shitty.”Richard’s booming laugh filled the room as Mildred chuckled softly beside him.“Ah, yes,” Richard said with a grin. “We didn’t take that into consideration when we bought the place. You can barely send a text, let a

Chapter 276 - Two men down
Kent’s car cruised down the empty highway, music blaring from the radio. Kent gripped the steering wheel with one hand, tapping it to the beat while belting out the chorus of an old rock song with a self-satisfied grin plastered across his face. Andrew sat in the passenger seat, arms crossed, staring out the window, clearly unimpressed.“Jesus Christ, you’re tone-deaf,” Andrew muttered, cutting through Kent’s off-key singing.Kent smirked but didn’t miss a beat. “You just don’t appreciate talent.”Andrew shifted in his seat, finally turning to face him. “You do realise we still have to figure out what happened with the accounts, right?”Kent’s smirk faltered for a split second before returning. “Relax. I’m on it. I told the bank to run a thorough investigation. We’ll know soon enough.”Andrew didn’t look convinced. “And maybe we need to run an investigation of our own.”Kent arched a brow, eyes flicking toward him. “What the hell do you mean by that?”Andrew’s voice remained calm, but
