Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two - Drinking Problem
With a sense of trepidation, Jason raised his hand and knocked three times on the door of Mr. Harrington’s office, the sound echoing throughout the hallway.“Come in,” he heard Mr. Harrington say from inside the office.Jason opened the door and stepped inside the office. “You asked to see me, sir.”“Yes, Jason, please take a seat." Mr. Harrington gestured to the seat that Jason had sat in the first time he was in his office.Jason took the seat; the velvet cushion that once felt comfortable now seemed to suffocate him. Jason didn’t need to be told why Mr. Harrington called him here; he already knew why. It was evident in the disappointment in Mr. Harrington’s eyes.“Jason, I think we need to discuss your problem." Mr. Harrington said, his face solemn. “And there’s no need to be ashamed or deny it; I’m not judging you.”Jason furrowed his brows in confusion; out of all the things that he thought Mr. Harrington would say to him, that wasn’t one of them. "Sir, I’m sorry, but I’m not fo

Each of them was. given fifteen million dollars to invest. As Jason was trying to read up on what he could find on the market online, he received an email from one of the investment sites that he had been browsing.It read.TOP TEN BEST STOCKS TO BUY THIS YEARIt was followed by a list of companies. This all seemed too good to be true to Jason, but it was coming from a trusted site.As he contemplated the legitimacy of the email, he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his head, causing him to wince in pain. “Do I trust this?” he asked himself.“Mr. Grey, are you there?” The stockbroker asked."Yes, I'm here,” Jason replied.“Sir, I'm still waiting for your response.

“What was that imbecile going on about? '' Kent mumbled to himself as he walked to his office.He opened his office door to find an unpleasant surprise waiting for him inside. His eyes widened and turned flinty. “What the hell are you doing here? We agreed that you’d never contact me again,” he hissed. He locked his office door and charged towards the source of his anger.It was the blonde he hired to spike Jason’s drink at the restaurant. She was sitting cross-legged on the chair in front of his desk. “Calm down for goodness sake; don’t be so uptight. I just want to talk,” the woman smiled.“Get out of my chair and out of my office now! Are you crazy? Don’t you realise that someone could’ve seen you walk in here?” Kent hissed in a hushed tone.“I’m not moving an inch until I'm properly compensated,” the woman said, flipping her pin straight tresses.“What the hell are you talking about?” Kent sneered.“I don’t think I was paid enough for the very risky job that I did for you. I mean

Victoria was finishing up work for the day when she heard a knock on her office door. She sighed as she organised documents on her desk, making sure everything was in order for the following day.“Come in,” she said. She heard the door open and then close, but she didn't look up to see who it was; her eyes were still fixed on the documents she was organising.“You look so serious, Victoria. What’re you doing?” Roland said as he inched closer to her.She paused her movements once she heard his voice. Suddenly, it felt like there wasn’t enough air in the room for the both of them. Slowly, she lifted her head up to face him, her heart racing.“Roland… I’m organising,” she answered, then continued to organise her documents, but her pace had now increased as she tried to maintain her composure.Roland placed a hand on hers, stopping her movements. “You’re trembling,” he said, amused. “What’s wrong? Are you scared of me?”"No,” she said, her shaky voice betraying her. “I’ve just had a lot o

Jason had finished work for the day. He closed his laptop and began to pack his things up when he heard a knock on the door.“Come in,” he said.The door opened, and Reuben walked into his office. He wolf-whistled and looked around the place in awe as he walked inside.“What’re you doing here?" Jason sighed"Hey, don’t you dare even pretend like you aren’t happy to see me” Reuben warned Jason as he plopped down on the couch.“Oh my gosh, Reuben! So nice to see you, what brings you around these parts,” Jason exaggerated in a high-pitched voice.Reuben smiled. “Now that’s more like it.” He stood up from the couch and then sat on the spinning chair. “I’m here to check on you. Your latest episode gave me a real scare, even though I should be used to you getting into trouble by now,” Reuben said as he spun around in the chair.“Really? Because it looks like you came to play in my office,” Jason said."Hey, two things can be true at once, you know. And besides, I’m offended that you didn’t i

As Franklin stormed out of Victoria’s office and walked into the hallway, he realised that the last thing he said to Victoria was more to himself than to her. His mind reeled as he wondered whether or not he had made the right decision with what he discussed with Mr. Harringron.Before he could finish his train of thought, he felt a body collide with his."Sorry,” he murmured as he crouched to pick up a few of his things that had fallen to the ground due to the collision.When he was done, he got up and looked apologetically at the person he had bumped into and offered a second apology. “Sorry again…” but once he locked eyes with Kent, his words caught in his throat.“What, you're not going to apologise anymore because it’s me? How rude.” Kent said with a smirk.Franklin simply glared at Kent, then kept walking, but Kent held him by the shoulder to stop his movements. "Hey, I’m still talking to you. Why are you in such a hurry?”“What the hell do you want?” Franklin seethed as he turn

Once they heard what Amelia said, they all decided to go to Jason’s office to make sure that Kent or Roland couldn’t hear and so Amelia could sit and calm down.“Amelia, are you sure it was her?” Franklin asked as he handed her a glass of water.Amelia took a sip of the water and answered, "Yes, I'm positive. At first, I wasn't sure that it was her, but then suddenly it clicked in my head. It was her. She had a scarf and sunglasses on but when we fell the glasses came off and I saw her, only for a moment but It was her.”“Why on earth would she come here?” Reuben wondered out loud. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m sure she came to pay her boss a visit,” Jason said. “How did she look? Was she scared? Agitated?” he asked.“She was running; we bumped into each other, and by the time that I looked up to see her face, she was already running off. It all happened so fast, and I was only able to catch a glimpse of her face, but I'm almost certain it was her,” Amelia explained.The men nodded as they

The next day, Jason arrived early at the Elysian Syndicate to check the security footage.“Good morning, Mr. Grey,” the guard said.“Good morning, Richard. I need your help with something,” Jason said.“What is it, sir?”“I need to have a look at the CCTV camera footage from yesterday, around noon.” Richard nodded. "Okay, sir,” he said.He led Jason to the room where the footage was kept and showed him the footage from the day before.Jason waited for the blonde woman to walk in, and his head jerked up when he finally saw her.“Stop there,” he said.Richard paused the footage at the point where the blonde woman walked in. She was wearing a scarf and was about to put on sunglasses. The video was paused right at the point before she put on the sunglasses; she had already raised them to her face but hadn’t put them on yet. Jason took a picture of the frame with his phone and then told Richard to press play on the video.Now the woman was clad in her scarf and sunglasses. The camera did

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
