Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty Two - Solidify our position
“Reuben and Jason agreed to discuss everything about Stefan once they had reached Jason’s apartment. They were now there and seated in the living room."So, what did you find out?” Jason insisted“I think it's better if I show you than tell you,” Reuben said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He pressed some buttons before turning the phone so that Jason could see what was displayed on the screen.It was a picture of a laptop screen. On the laptop screen was an email.“Zoom in to read what the email says,” Reuben said.Jason zoomed in so he could properly see the contents of the email. Subject: Urgent: Finalizing Agreement with the Elysian SyndicateHi Andrew,I wanted to touch base regarding our ongoing negotiations with the Elysian Syndicate. As you know, we've been working diligently to secure this partnership with them, and I believe we're on the brink of finalizing the agreement.Given the recent developments in the market, I urge you to expedite the process a

“Hi Sir, sorry about Camilla. Can I put you on hold for a few? I'll be right back.”"Okay,” Jason replied.After five minutes, even though it felt much longer to Jason, Amelia put the call off hold, and Jason heard her apologetic voice. "Hello, I'm back, sir. Sorry for the inconvenience,” she said.“It's all right. I know it's late, but I need your help with something related to the Elysian Synucate.”"Okay, sir, what do you need?”“I need you to get me the contract that Sinclair Enterprises drew up for the deal.” Amelia hesitated before answering like she was trying to remember something: "Sir, I thought you didn’t want to work with the Sinclair's.”"Amelia, can you get it for me or not?" Jason said it with urgency. “I can, but sir, if you need it tonight, then you may have to meet me. I would come to give it to you, but I'm with Camila, and she’s not feeling well, so I don't want to leave her alone. The truth is, she’s quite drunk too and when she's drunk well it's best not to le
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty-Four - Blood test
As Jason's consciousness slowly returned, his surroundings blurred into a haze. He couldn't make anything out; all his blurry vision could pick up were indistinct shapes and muted colors. He blinked repeatedly, trying to clear the fog that was his surroundings, but his disorientation only seemed to deepen.His head began to throb with a dull ache, the pain pulsing behind his eyes, making it difficult for him to focus, think, or even fathom the situation he was in. He squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to quell the relentless pounding in his head, but the feeling only got worse.With a groan, Jason tried to push himself upright, but his arms and legs felt heavy and unresponsive. His fingers grope around, and he feels a hard mattress under them.“A bed,” he barely voices out.A wave of nausea washes over him, the taste of bile rising in the back of his throat. He swallows hard, trying to suppress the rising tide of sickness. He squeezes his eyes shut, willing the sensation to pass, bu
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty-Five - Familiar figure
"Oh, thank God you're awake; I thought you were dead.”Jason blinked rapidly. He saw a young woman in front of him holding a tray of food. “You must be hungry. Would you like to eat something?”He didn't answer the woman; instead, he took in his surroundings. He was no longer in the tiny room; now he was inside a bigger room in a different place. He tried to move his body, but it was completely limp, much more than before. “What did that crazy woman do to me?” he said as he hopelessly tried to move his limbs.The woman, who he now noticed was wearing a maid outfit, looked worried as she watched Jason struggle to move his body. “Do you need help, sir? Please don't stress yourself too much. Just have some food.”Jason glared at the woman. “I don't want food." He hissed, “What I want is to get the hell out of here.”"Sir, please calm down. I don't want to hurt you. I understand that you're confused, but...”“No, you don't understand,“ Jason snapped, cutting her off mid-sentence. "Listen,
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty-Six - Going to Get Married
“Camilla?” Jason said, his voice trembling with disbelief. “Jason, oh my God." Camila embraced Jason, her body trembling with fear. “Thank God you're here.”"Camilla, what's going on? Why are we here?” Jason asked as he pulled away from her embrace.“I don’t know. Have you seen Amelia? I’ve been looking for her everywhere,” Camila said, her lips quivering. She caught a glance at Hannah and panicked for a moment. She mouthed something to Hannah that Jason did not catch: “Who is she? Is she the one that’s keeping us here?” "No...no, I’m not," Hannah said as she raised her hands in defense. “She’s not, but her employers are; we need to get out of here," Jason explained “No, no, I’m not leaving till I find Amelia," Camila said as she scraped her hands through her brown tresses.“Do you have any idea where she might be? Where were you?” Jason asked"No, I don’t know where she is; if I had an idea, I'd be there,” Camila answered, her eyes now glistening with tears. “I was outside the ho
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty-Seven - Family Image
“You’re going to get married to our dear Amelia!” The woman beamed.Jason looked at the woman in front of him without saying a word. He was waiting for them to burst into laughter and say it was all a joke, but that moment didn't come. He searched their eyes for any hint of insincerity, but all he found was seriousness and determination.Even though his instincts told him to run and not look back, Jason decided against it. His curiosity got the best of him, and he needed to get the answers to all the questions he had about the situation he had found himself in.“Please don't try and run away again; we don't want to drug you anymore." Camila pleaded like it was a casual request.Jason sat upright on the bed. “I'm not going to run; I just need you two to clarify some things to me,” he said. “By Amelia, you mean Amelia Steele, right?” Jason asked, “Ding Ding Ding” Camila chimed “You’re going to get married to my cousin.”“Amelia is your cousin?” Jason asked; he didn't know how many mor
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty Eight - Condition
“W-what” The woman’s voice faltered, her breath catching in her throat as her eyes widened.“I said I'll do it.” Jason repeated, “Isn't that what you want?”"Yes, but if I'm being honest, I didn't expect you to say yes—well, at least not so soon,” she admitted. "Well, what can I say? I really sympathise with everything your family went through,” Jason said, his words dripping with feigned sympathy, which the woman did not detect.With a wide grin stretched across her face, she leaned forward slightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. “I don’t want to sound forward, but I think it’s best that we move with haste and don’t delay. I think we should hold the wedding tonight.” She said with so much confidence and urgency.“Tonight?” Jason questioned “This woman is really something,” he added internally, marvelling at her audacity.“I know it's soon, but it will be a small ceremony. I'll call a priest that I know, and we can -”“No,” Jason interjected, cutting her off before she could
Jason Grey’s Inevitable Rise to the Top Chapter Sixty Nine - Monica
The blind item was more than enough to confirm Jason’s suspicion. “I need to find out who wrote this," he declared his next line of action aloud. He would have to track down the person who wrote it and find out if they had evidence to back up the claims. He hoped that it wasn't just bogus gossip. A knock on the door drew Jason’s attention away from his plan.“Just a minute,” he yelled as he covered the laptop with a pillow. “You can come in.”The door creaked open, revealing Rachel; she looked like she was about to go to bed. "Hi,” she said in a whisper.“Are you going to drug me again?” Jason said, his tone having a tinge of sarcasm in it.Rachel covered her face with her palms in embarrassment. “I'm so sorry about that,” she said, then removed her palms from her face. She sat on the edge of the bed with a grin. Jason watched her with furrowed brows, wondering what she was there for.“I heard you agreed to marry Amelia; you don't know how happy that makes me." Amelia said, her voi

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
