Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Fifty four - Neutralize an enemy
After overheating Franklin and Jason’s conversation, Roland headed straight to Kent’s office.“We have a problem with those Imbeciles Jason and Franklin,” Roland announced as he barged into the office. Roland’s face almost went pale when he looked up and saw that Lauren, Kent’s secretary, was in the room with him, showing Kent some documents.“Lauren, please excuse us,” Kent said with an icy glare fixed on Roland.“Excuse me,” Lauren said in a hushed tone as she walked out of the office and shut the door behind her. She was slightly upset, as she was intrigued by what Roland had said and how he barged into the office with such urgency, but she knew that staying back to listen wasn’t even a possibility. “Maybe Jason and Franklin aren’t the only imbeciles around here,” Kent hissed as he glared at Roland.“How was I supposed to know that she’d be in here?” Roland retorted.“How were you supposed to know that my secretary could be in my office?” Kent replied incredulously, raising an ey

“Good morning, Young.” Timothy started, but once he saw the look on Jason’s face, which warned him not to call him by the honorific. “Good morning, Jason,” Timothy said, correcting himself. Calling Jason by his first name made Timothy slightly uncomfortable, and even if Jason was never a big fan of being called Young Master, it felt strange to hear Timothy call him Jason.The air between Jason and Timothy was thick with unresolved tension from the last time that they spoke on the phone. “Good morning, Timothy,” Jason said in a flat tone, which amplified the awkwardness in the room.Franklin's eyes darted between Jason and Timothy. Noticing the tension between the unease that Jason felt, he decided to excuse himself so that the two men could discuss it in private.“If you both will excuse me, I have some documents to sign in my office. Jaso, we’ll discuss later,” Franklin said. He greeted Timothy, then walked out of the office.For a few seconds, both men stood in silence, which Jason

Connor crouched down and groaned in pain as the hot liquid burned his exposed skin.Immediately, Jason rushed to his side, while Timothy stood from his seated position, but he didn’t move. He just stood, staring at Connor.“Connor, are you okay? What happened?” Jason asked. “Nothing,” he hissed in pain. “My grip faltered, I guess. I’m so sorry for messing up your floor." As Connor spoke, he made sure that his gaze was fixed on the ground. “I’ll get someone to clean this up,” he said, standing and starting to walk to the door immediately after he said it."No, that’s okay, I’ll handle it,” Jason said as he followed after him.“No, I've got it,” Connor insisted. Without looking back, he left the office.Jason stood there in the middle of his office, left both worried and confused by what had just happened.“Who’s that man?” Timothy finally spoke, which made Jason turn to face him.“That’s Connor, my chauffeur,” Jason answered.Timothy’s forehead furrowed. “Your chauffeur?”“Yes. He’s

"Okay, I’ll tell you everything I know about what happened between them.” Timothy blurted out. “Let's sit down, please.” Jason nodded. "Okay.”. Both men took their seats opposite each other, just as they were before Connor came into the office. They were both anxious about the information that was about to be shared. However, Timothy wasn't as good at hiding it as Jason was; he had to wipe his hands with his handkerchief because of the sweat that was emanating from them. Jason was equally anxious, among other things, to hear the truth, but he wouldn't let any feelings of fear or anxiety stop him from finding out what had happened. Before Timothy could speak, the door of Jason's office opened to reveal an old cleaning lady. Her entrance cut through the tension in the room and took both Jason and Timothy by surprise. “Sorry for not knocking, sir.” The woman's cheeks went red when she realised her mistake, and she stepped back. “It's fine; please come in,” Jason said softly.

“Your father was engaged to someone else at the time.”Jason blinked, shocked by the revelation. “He was?” was all that he could say. It was a strange thing for Jason to hear things about his father because, unlike his mother, he had no memory of him. And now the first personal detail he knew of his father was that he was kissing Jason’s mom as an engaged man.“Yes. Her name was Laura Goldman. She was the daughter of one of the business associates of your grandfather.” Timothy explained.“Timothy I'm sorry to interrupt, but remember, I want to know about my mother and grandfather. Is this relevant to what, happened, or are you stalling?” Jason asked."No, "No, I'm not stalling, Young Master,” Timothy said. He decided to be more direct in his recounting since there was no escaping it. He had finally accepted the fact that Jason would know the truth today. “Lauren was chosen by Grand Master Grey for your father.”“What do you mean by chosen?” Jason asked.“Chosen as his bride. It was so

“Then he’s going to have to get used to the idea of not getting what he wants because now more than ever, I’m sure that I want nothing to do with that man.” Jason declared it resolutely. “Young Master, I understand that you’re upset, but you can’t mean that," Timothy said, his voice faltering."Timothy, with all due respect, you don’t understand. Neither you nor I truly understand the hell my mother went through. I know what it’s like to be treated like less of a human because of how much I have to say about my name or my status, and it’s disheartening.” Jason retorted, fresh anger swelling inside of him.Timothy realised once again that there was no use in trying to argue with Jason at the moment. “You’re right, young master,” he sighed. “But there are two things I’d like to ask if you please, if I may.”Jason clenched his jaw, trying to reign in his frustration. He knew his anger wasn’t really directed at Timothy. Taking a deep breath, he finally said, “Okay, fine, you can ask.”“T
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Sixty - Patty’s gone
As Jason walked by his office, he felt weighed down by the conversation that he had just had with Timothy and everything that it revealed.As it turned out, Michael Allen Grey was much like the man that Jason despised, Stefan Sinclair. He wondered how he would ever let go of the rage he felt like Timothy advised him to.Now that he understood his memory perfectly, his grandfather wanted to kick them out because they were a stain on the perfect family image. “And now he wants a relationship with me,” Jason scoffed.“Talking to yourself? Have you finally lost it, Grey?” Jason heard Kent say it from behind him.“If it isn’t my best colleague, Just the guy I wanted to see,” Jason said sarcastically as Kent walked up to him so that they were face-to-face.“Don’t be sarcastic with me, Jason; I'm genuinely worried about you. I mean, it’s not so farfetched to think that you’d go crazy after all with your recent investment, and what happened with the Ponce De Leon deal, you’re showing signs o

“Well, she just left without even saying goodbye. Two days ago, she came in here to submit her letter of resignation, which shocked us all. Then I went to see her at her house later in the day to know what was going on, but it was empty. She packed up and left. I tried to call her, but it said her number was disconnected,” Brianna explained, her voice tinged with worry.Amelia’s eyes widened in disbelief, the frown on her lips faded, and her mouth opened slightly in shock. Jason’s jaw clenched, and he exchanged a troubled look with Franklin, whose brow furrowed deeply. The room fell into a heavy silence as the weight of what Brianna had told them sank in. Each of them felt a mix of shock and frustration, realising that Patricia’s sudden disappearance had thrown their search into chaos.But shock and frustration weren’t all that they felt. At the back of their minds, each of them was thinking that Kent had something to do with Patricia’s sudden disappearance.“Amelia? Are you there?”

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
