Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Six - Taking it personal
Jason and Amelia had Connor drive them to the airport once they left the jail, and they took the first flight to Saranac Lake.The two-hour flight went by quickly, and soon they were in a taxi on their way to Franklin’s grandmother's house.As the taxi drove around Serene City, Jason gazed out the window, feeling an odd sense of nostalgia. He remembered the last time that he came here and the house that his mother grew up in. His chest tightened slightly.With everything that had happened, he hadn’t thought much of his mother, but being in the place where she grew up made thoughts of her resurface in his mind.He thought of how she probably walked the streets that they drove on and ate at the restaurants that they passed by."Jason,” Amelia called out, boring through his reverie."Yeah,” he mumbled.“We’re here,” she said.“Oh, sorry,” Jason said, running a hand around his hair. He paid the taxi driver and got out of the taxi, with Amelia following after him.Franklin’s grandmother’s
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Seven - Running from something
Amelia and Jason had been in front of Franklin’s grandmother's for ten minutes, waiting for a taxi. Amelia was standing with her arms folded, while Jason sat with his jaw clenched.As the minutes passed, they grew more anxious and impatient. Their eyes stayed glued to the road and their minds on Franklin, but a single taxi hadn’t passed; in fact, barely any cars had passed by. Amelia’s gaze frequently darted from the road to Jason. She thought back to his outburst and her eyes became sympathetic.Jason’s hands were trembling slightly, and his face was pale, with eyes that were distant and unfocused. She knew that his altercation with Clara was still weighing on him and that there was something bigger that troubled him. "Jason, it doesn’t look like any taxis are going to pass by here.” Amelia’s voice came out in a soft but audible tone to get his attention.When Amelia’s voice reached Jason’s ears, he blinked and stared at her for a few seconds before replying, "Yeah, you're right."

The taxi arrived in front of Franklin’s grandmother’s house, and once Jason saw it, he felt relief wash over him.“The taxi is here; I’ll call you once we get back to New York,” Jason informed, his phone pressing to his ear. “Thanks for listening to my problems again. I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record.”“Okay, fly safe, and remember, in my opinion, it’s best you leave your grandfather in the past,” Connor said on the other end. “You just became the president of the biggest company in the country and one of the biggest on the continent; we should go out for drinks and celebrate tonight.”Jason’s lips curled up into a small smile. “I’ll think about it and let you know,” he said with a small chuckle.“Okay, goodbye, Mr. President,” Connor said in a playful tone before hanging up.After he hung up, Jason stood up from his seated position and began to walk towards the taxi. Before he got into the vehicle, he turned back to take one last look at Franklin’s grandmother’s house.Throu

As soon as the thought crossed Jason’s mind, he dismissed it. He shook his head and finally responded to Amelia."Well, I hope she’s okay,” he said in a monotonous voice.Amelia found his behaviour strange, but she didn’t comment on it.“I do too,” she simply said, then turned her gaze to the window once again.The rest of the ride to the airport was silent until the sound of Jason’s phone notification went off. He opened his phone to see what the message said.Unknown Number: Good afternoon, Jason. This is Victoria. Franklin’s bail hearing is in three hours, and he wants you and Amelia to be in attendance. I’ll text you the address soon.Jason’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt goosebumps form all over his arms, but he cleared his throat in an attempt to compose himself.“Franklin’s bail hearing is today,” he announced.“It is?” Amelia uttered her tone a mixture of surprise and anxiousness.“Yes, Victoria just sent me a message.” As soon as the words left Jason’s lips, his phone buz

"After reviewing the arguments and the nature of the charges, I have decided that bail is denied. The defendant will remain in custody until the trial."The judge’s words hit like a hammer. Franklin let out the breath he had been holding in since he walked into the courtroom and slumped his shoulders, which seemed to weigh much more than before.Victoria's hand flew to her mouth, stifling a gasp. Amelia's eyes began to sting, and she gripped Jason's hand tightly. “Damn it,” Jason hissed under his breath, his tone a mix of frustration and disbelief.The judge dismissed them, and the guards began to escort Franklin out of the courtroom. Almost immediately, Jason, Amelia, and Victoria followed them outside.As they led Franklin out, he turned back to see his colleagues staring at him with eyes full of empathy and devastation.Franklin turned to the guards, his eyes desperate. "Please let me speak to them," he begged the guards. "Just let me talk to my friends for a moment."The guards e
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Ninety One - We will find out
“The anniversary party is tomorrow, and there they’ll announce the new president, and we will all be there to see exactly who it is,” he finished with a dangerous glint in his eyes.Andrew stopped his pacing and stood in place. "Farger, is that really necessary?”“Of course it is,” Stefan maintained. “Who knows? Maybe Kent is out celebrating his victory and can’t answer the phone. The presidency is only announced to the public at the anniversary parties, so there’s no other way that we can find out.” “So we will be able to confirm for ourselves if he wins,” Andrew said."Exactly,” Stefan said. “Father, what if Kent didn’t win the election?” Andrew said, feeling the anxiety rise in him.“Then we will find out who did,” Stefan simply replied, maintaining his calm expression. “I don't know about you, but I think it's high time we find out who the other man is, and if he wins, we will find out how to get rid of him.” Stefan finished, then slowly walked out of the living room while hummi
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Three - Third phone
Stefan finished humming his tune at the same time that he entered his bedroom. As he began to undo the buttons on his shirt, he heard a sound that was very unpleasant to him.It was the ringtone of his third phone.Stefan had three phones. The first was the one he carried with him daily; he used it in public and whenever he needed to give out his number to family or friends—which rarely happened—he would give them the number of the SIM card on that phone.His second phone was his work phone, which he used to talk with business partners and contractors for Sinclair Enterprises.Then there was his third phone. It was also a work phone, but it wasn’t for the type of work that he was known for. It was for more off-the-book operations, and an unexpected call on that phone hardly ever meant anything good.With a heavy sigh and a huff, Stefan abruptly put a stop to unbuttoning his shirt and walked over to the bedside drawer.He opened the drawer and took out a scarf from it. He unfolded the

After Willam’s threat, Stefan didn’t say a word, and neither did William. The silence lasted for all of five seconds before William broke it.“What’s the matter, Stefan? You aren’t so high and mighty anymore, are you? I’ll send you the account details so you can transfer me my first payment,” William said smugly.“Go ahead,” Stefan finally said. His tone was calm and almost mocking."Yeah, I’m about to send it,” William replied, misunderstanding Stefan."No, not that. Go ahead and tell Jason,” Stefan scoffed.William huffed angrily. “You think I’m bluffing, don’t you?”"No, I don’t. Go ahead and give him what evidence you think you have; in fact, send the evidence over to me, and I’ll give it to him personally." Stefan mocked Stefan made sure to take extra precautions whenever he did any shady business. He was confident that William didn’t actually have any evidence against him and was only bluffing to extort him.“I can’t wait for you to speak with Jason. He’s an opportunistic lowl
