Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 154: Questions! Doubts! Tension!
Cole chipped without delay, “No Sir. Everything is happening rather too fast.” An uncontrollable silence swept through the surface of the office. “I need to phone Mr. Snow right away. Yeah. I need to,” Michael mused while swallowing a little bit. He quickly picked up his phone to do the needful but while on it, the office intercom beeped and it was from the reception: “Good day, Boss. Please, Mr. Snow and two of his staff are here to see you. Please, they emphasized the urgency,” the receptionist politely informed him. Without hesitation, he responded with his brows somewhat raised. “Sure, let them in okay.” Oprah and Cole fixated their gaze on Michael to deduce what was going on. “Mr. Snow and two of his staff are in the basement. They'll soon join us. We need to find out what's going on and if he's guilty, I'd decide what would happen next.” He informed them beforehand to avoid being clueless. Mr. Snow, whose entry into the office had been met with nervous anticipation, his
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 155: The Call!!!
Silence lingered after Michael's last expression; well, that was quite expected. His staff didn't know if they should ultimately hope for a positive response or be swallowed in deepened thoughts. The idea of involving Bossman Shaw seemed like a bold move — one that could either wave the issue off or add more salt to the injuries Mr. Snow switched his attention to the receipts and, for a moment, seemed lost in conflicting thoughts. He admired Michael's undoubted confidence to get across to Bossman Shaw but what if it didn't work out as anticipated!? [Hope could be quite miserable!] Michael's gaze shifted from Mr. Snow to the rest of the office who were still induced in silence. Oprah had crossed her arms, her eyelids slowly blinking at intervals. Stephanie's eyes darted nervously, while Cole seemed too quiet after Stephanie and his aunt frowned at his bad jokes. “Mr. Snow,” Michael calmly uttered, drawing Mr Connection’s focus back, “Do you think Bossman Shaw will take my call
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 156: The Meeting With Bossman Shaw
Michael’s mind entertained various thoughts while his driver drove him to Bossman Shaw’s residence. The conspiracy to halt his plan to pioneer the Wine Tasting Edition didn't come as a surprise! His staff were but he wasn't one bit. He already had his suspects but wanted to be certain to avoid fighting the wrong people. Different questions came slamming into his mind: who would benefit from halting the Wine Tasting Edition? Why would they target Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise now, just as the company was about to pull off a significant project that should stand the test of time? “We are almost there Sir,” the driver informed him without delay. The gates were already open, a sign that Michael was highly expected, as he approached the main entrance, a certain gatekeeper greeted him warmly and led him through a grand doorway adorned with exquisite artworks and sculptures. Michael was warmly welcomed into a private lounge where Bossman Shaw patiently sat, a towering figure even whil
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 157: The Manager's Doom
Michael could deduce how interested Mr. Shaw was about his last expression and decided to throw more light. “Late Gabriel Earth,” those words crept out. Instantly, Mr. Shaw's shoulder was clothed in goosebumps; his heart skipped a thousand beats. His mouth remained closed while he slowly lowered his face. Michael raised an eyebrow as he noticed the CEO’s fallen demeanor. “Seemed like you knew him?” After a few moments of lingering silence, Mr. Shaw unzipped his lips for words, his countenance still fallen. “My God. Of Course, I do. He was a dear friend. He was the major pioneer before six others joined his vision including myself.” He sighed deeply and continued. “It's quite unfortunate he passed on shortly after the Universal Unity Centre project was completed.” Michael could feel the pain in Shaw's heart for losing a great friend— a visionary. “Now you see why we should figure those plotting against the success of the event? I won't stop until I beat them to this game,” Mic
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 158: Revoked Cancellation!!!
After the manager's shameful exit, Bossman Shaw's demeanor softened slightly. The anger in his heart calmly settled, but his mind whirled on those who convinced his ex-manager to play such stupid games. Michael leaned back, his demeanor much more approachable. He had maintained a professional outlook just in case Bossman Shaw refused to settle the inconvenience. The pieces were falling into place — Michelle, Marshall, and Gerald Sanchez had their plot to halt the Wine Tasting Edition. He believed they were his career at Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise to ensure he failed. Bossman Shaw broke the silence. “I owe you an apology. This mess should never have occurred. My manager’s foolishness almost stained our work friendship we're about to build.” Michael shook his head gently. “There are people out there determined to see me and the company fall. They won’t stop until they achieve that, but I won’t let them.” Shaw's eyelids blinked. “Consider the matter resolved. The venue is your
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 159: HER Card
The staff chuckled with a renewed sense of purpose, their confidence secured by Michael's success in securing the venue. The Wine Tasting Edition was less than forty-eight hours away, and staff members had their hands on deck to ensure its success. Michael sat back to his office chair still holding a glass of red wine, his mind sharp and ready. While they celebrated, he paid subtle attention to their gestures and was happy Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise had such committed staff members— each person passionate about their tasks, pushing forward with a collective drive. Sheraton approached him with a charming smile on her face. “Please, Sir, I just wanted to check if there’s anything else you need me to handle henceforth.” Michael nodded in appreciation. “Actually, yes. Keep monitoring the communication channels. If anyone from Universal Unity Centre reaches out, I want to know immediately. And let’s keep a close watch on any unusual activity. We can't afford more surprises.” “Cons
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 160: A Friendly Call???
*** Later that afternoon, preparations already in motion for Saturday, the Wine Tasting Edition planning committee had gathered in the conference room, reviewing the final checklist for the event. The air screamed with excitement and nervousness. Sharon, her eyes widened with caution, ran through the guest list once more. Every act of commitment from her was forged by the legacy her late father laid behind. Though she wished her father were to be alive to witness the Wine Tasting Edition in Universal Unity Centre but she was most pleased that the venue was regained after the Manager pulled off those stupid stunts. She believed Mr. Gabriel Earth would be shining a bold smile at her from paradise! “We’ve confirmed over three thousand guests— juggernauts, wine connoisseurs, and media representatives. The guest list is star-struck!” Cole chuckled softly. “Imagine the crowd’s reaction when they taste our finest collection towards the end of the event. We’ll be the talk of the indust
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 161: Brewing Chaos
The day before the Wine Tasting Edition dawned with preparedness. Despite the team's epic enthusiasm, Michael felt his stomach rumbling in the early hours of the morning. The unsettling echo of Marshall's so-called friendly words from the previous day. By noon, the event space at Universal Unity Centre was overwhelmed with activity. Technicians set up sound systems, decorators arranged exquisite attractive displays, and various winery representatives set up their stations. The event was building up from a vision into a relatable reality. *** Michael, Oprah, and Stephanie walked through the venue, ticking off items on their checklist. Sheraton and Cole worked closely with the staff to ensure the technical arrangements were flawless. “This looks incredible,” Stephanie remarked, her eyes darting delightedly as she stared at a sophisticated setup. “Tomorrow, this place will be a masterpiece. I'm sure of it.” Oprah smiled warmly. “It already is. Everyone has worked so hard for thi

Chapter 193: ”I Forgive You”
Michael's astonished questions were met with deliberate silence.Oliver King hadn't really opened up to people about the inception of Marshall in the King's family.Hence it was expected for people to presume he was biologically his son.Isn't it ironic that Oliver's adopted son didn't blink twice to plot his elimination through the kitchen assistant?A boy, he gave everything like a father would to his son. What did Oliver get in return? A deadly plot for his permanent exit.If not for the special intervention by Michael in saving him. None would have known what really killed him unless an autopsy was conducted.“How did that all happen?” Michael's curiosity grew more.Oliver exhaled sharply, his face oozed with weary as particles of past events flashed before his eyes.“It was my late wife's sole decision. She desperately wanted an offspring. A male child who will become an heir to the family business.”“At first, I was reluctant to consent with the hope of finding you and your moth
Chapter 192: A Cat Out Of The Bag!
Michael Scofield chose to have an open mind and give his father a listening ear.Burning in fury and keeping malice with Oliver King wouldn't solve anything but rather would make things worse.It was time he heard from the horse's mouth on what really transpired that made him absent in his life for so long.After Oliver's revelation, Lord Eric had tried a couple of times to host both of them for a meeting, but somehow, his efforts had been futile.Lord Eric decided to keep everything in the arms of fate to take charge of the situation.Ordinarily, Michael would have disapproved of Oliver's request of making him the CEO of Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, but on second thought, he knew if he declined the offer, the company would somehow suffer given the fact Marshall wasn't in the option of being an heir.Aside from Mr Snow's and Lord Eric's advice to accept the CEO position. He has always been a great fan of what Oliver has achieved in Kingstown.He might not have a cordial relati
Chapter 191: Oliver's Visit
“The past?”“He'll tell you all you need to know.”Michael kept whispering those words after the call with Scarlett disconnected.For a couple of minutes, he had thought less about his temporary detention in the police station and settled his mind on his biological father.He grew up knowing nothing about his father— he was as good as dead, but for strange reasons, Oliver King's revelation changed the course of events.Yes, he didn't have the best father/son relationship with Oliver but one thing certain was he nursed no resentment against him despite being absent in his life for over three decades.The thudding question was what Oliver had been keeping from Michael and when he intended to let the cat out of the bag.“You have a visitor.”“Fifteen minutes is the best I can give.”The sergeant who engaged him about twenty minutes ago informed him.Michael halted from his thoughts and raised his head to dart his eyes to know who had come to see him.Ordinarily, he would have expected Sh
Chapter 190: Scarlett's Call
One of the sergeants in the police department Michael had been for days made his way into the interrogation room.The sergeant’s face was free from spite, he calmly stepped inside and politely greeted him.One thing Michael would never deny was how considerate the police officers had been in handling the sensitive case.Their utterances hadn't been extremely condescending. They were simply doing their jobs to uncover if Michael was truly guilty or not.Regardless, they had been respectful of all detention procedures.“Sincerely, I don't think you did all those published about you. But the evidence is everywhere in our faces that we can't just turn a blind eye.”The sergeant calmly engaged him with a tinge of worry etched on his demeanor.Michael leaned further from his seat, his facial expression welcoming as the words of the concerned sergeant resonated with him.“This is not the first time I have been framed but this time around. They did it so well and that I must admit.”“They hav

Chapter 188: His Fight For Redemption
The aftermath of Michael's invitation to the police center triggered tension in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise, Charleston Park Shopping Mall, and, of course, Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.Some of the paid-off media did malicious coverage, painting Michael as a deceitful mastermind behind a huge embezzlement scheme.In a couple of days, the amiable reputation that he had built through long months of dedication, seemed to be at risk.Regardless of the malicious painting of Michael, a large number of netizens and global communities still had hope he wouldn't stoop so low to such things.That wouldn't be the first time his image would be tainted dirty but he always seemed to fight back to victory.Inside the Eric Cottage offices, the atmosphere was tense with uncertainty.Some of the employees somewhat whispered anxiously, unsure if the company could survive the scandal.Oprah, Stephanie, Sharon Sheraton, and Cole vowed to hold things together, determined not to let Michael's hard

Chapter 186: Sinister Plot

The humiliation they faced during the press conference ignited a fury within the allied business tycoons who didn't like how the public opinion against Michael had been shifted.Gerald planted an insider, a stranger who would speak against Michael. He realized that was a stupid stunt because it gave the motion about Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise and her COO being attacked.If Gerald had known better, he wouldn't have employed such tactics against Michael knowing how the public should love him regardless.A wrong move if his pride would bend him to accept!Marshall, stripped of his claim to th
