Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 166: The Trio's Schemes
***Michael arrived at Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise, Sheraton met him at the entrance.Her usually cheerful demeanor was decorated with unease.“Sir… sir, there's a problem,” she said with a trembling tone.Michael's brow furrowed. “What happened?”“Marshall King,” she whispered. “He's been calling around, trying to make deals with our suppliers. Offering them better terms to stop working with us.”A tinge of surprise crossed Michael’s face.Marshall was already making moves and Gerald was definitely the architect behind all that.“Has anyone agreed to his terms?” Michael questioned, his voice steady.“Not yet, but some of the suppliers sounded uncertain when we last spoke. They mentioned considering the offers,” Sheraton replied.Michael nodded, his mind already entertaining possible countermeasures. “I’ll handle it. Thanks for letting me know.”As he made his way to his office, Michael dialed Lord Eric's contact and his voice came alive as usual.“The Great Lord. We have a situati

The following day, the atmosphere at Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise was charged with determination. After the strategic meeting, Michael knew they had to strike back swiftly and decisively.No space for weakness!!!Marshall, Gerald, and Michelle had thrown the first punches, but he wouldn't let their assault go unanswered.Michael Scofield had an urgent meeting with Oprah, Sharon, Sheraton, Stephanie, and Cole in his office.He believed the best way to find his foes was to face them straight-up without hesitation, especially when the enemies were desperate to devour him.The room was clearly tense, but the spark in their eyes oozed readiness.“Alright, here’s the plan,” Michael started without delay.“We’re going to address this attack from three angles; media control, supplier relations, and internal security.”Oprah nodded affirmatively with her eyes all descended on their boss.“I’ve reached out to a few trusted media contacts. They’re willing to run an exclusive piece on our dedic

***Late in the evening, Cole received a flagged alert on his system. Someone had tried to breach the company’s server in an attempt to extract confidential financial data.He quickly traced the attempt and identified the source; an employee named Fiona Hales from the accounting department.Cole didn't waste time and immediately notified Michael.“Sir, please, we have a situation,” his voice broke out.“There’s a leak inside the company,” Cole resumed in speech, his voice oozed with concern.Michael’s eyes darted in motionless. “Who?”“Fiona Hales from accounting. She attempted to access restricted files, financial records, and supplier contracts.”Michael's mind whirled immediately with several thoughts.How deep did the betrayal run? Was she a pawn of Marshall, Gerald, and Michelle?“Get security. Bring her to my office,” Michael instructed, his tone exuding coldness.***Within minutes, Fiona Hales was brought into Michael’s office. Her face was complicated and her hands sparked wi
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 169: Connor Pierce
***Remarkably, the next day, Lord Eric Sanchez called a meeting with the senior executives, including Michael Scofield, Oprah Gracy, Sheraton, Stephanie, and Cole.The recent sabotage attempts and internal betrayal demanded a unified strategy to march their enemies wit for wit, toe to toe.His concern drifted on Oliver King maintaining that Michael was his biological son to ensure his winery company stood firm against any adversaries.Lord Eric opened the meeting with a steady and firm demeanor. His usual calm composure was overwhelmed by the fierceness of various attacks from Marshall, Gerald, and Michelle.“Everyone, thank you for being available on such short notice,” he commenced without delay.“Given the situation, it’s high time we reassessed our approach to protect this company from further sabotage.”Michael gazed without interruption, his brain processing several strategies making waves in his head.Despite the composure of his demeanor, he could perceive the fear among the
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 170: “We'll Hit Them Back!”
Lord Eric flashed an urgent stare at Michael and mouthed a whisper. “My boy, do you think we can trust him?”All hearts settled in thoughts; Connor Pierce knew his information was sensitive and everyone should wonder why he chose to reveal such information.Aside from the CEO, every other staff member in the boardroom had a similar thudding question: “Can he be trusted? Could be working alongside Gerald, Marshall, and Michelle.”Lord Eric knew his older brother could be extremely malicious in his attack and wouldn't mind playing such tricks on them.Michael didn't spill an immediate response and took extra time to study Connor carefully.From his disposition, Michael could perceive how sincere his words were but caution they must.Michael decided to question Connor. “Why are you telling us this?”“Why should we believe these words?”Connor drew a deep breath, tutted his lips, and bounced back to words:“The truth is I used to work for Marshall and handled some of his dirty jobs but I
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 171: Alvin Dorsey!
Within an extra hour, the meeting came to a halt with further measures taken against the known foes.Michael felt a renewed sense of purpose. Their enemies did strike hard, but now they had a weapon of their own which was the truth.Remove the truth from the equation, then they're just like their foes, if not worse.Michael was rooted by the roof right from inception and Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise was built on that too.Connor swiftly marched towards the COO. Michael noticed his steps but acted like he didn't see him.“Sir, I’ve given you everything I know. I hope it helps. Anything that'd stop Marshall, I'm all in.”Connor's voice charmed with determination and Michael could feel the energy.“Your information would help,” he replied sincerely Michael replied.“You need to be watchful of Marshall. He might come for you in fear you could expose his plans.”He warned!Connor gave out a grateful beam before stepping off.Behind was Lord Eric who was watching both men. He knew Michael
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 172: Far From Over
Michael Scofield didn't waste any time in compiling Alvin's confession along with all the sensitive details Connor gave after he showed up unexpectedly.He was serious about using the truth to fight his enemies, and nothing was going to alter that.After the public scandal purported by Gerald and his cohorts, there seemed to be a moment of calmness but Michael was smart enough not to be carried away.His sharp-witted mind warned him that Gerald Sanchez, Marshall, and Michelle should never be taken for granted.Hours ago, an anonymous message with provoked threats beeped on his phone which confirmed that the game was far from being over.Gerald wouldn't rest till he either had access to Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise or destroyed it.While Michael was plunged in thoughts on how to navigate the persistent storm, another text message chimed in.He sighed, thinking it came from his foes, but on a second stare, he realized it was from Oliver King, his biological father.The text message re
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 173: A Reputation Battle
A few hours later at Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise, Michael clinically instructed the cybersecurity team to trace the sources of the anonymous emails.It didn’t take long before a troubling lead was noticed.Stephanie hastened into Michael's office, in deep breath holding a printed report.“You need to see this,” she mouthed without hesitationMichael took the paper at one, his eyes glued at every content.The emails had been routed through multiple angels, but there was a slip; a brief moment when one of the angels rerouted through a local network.A network linked to an office that once belonged to a subsidiary of Kingstown Golden Telecommunications; a property under Marshall King's control.Before Oliver King considered making Michael the CEO of his company— Marshall, being the former heir, had some subsidiary businesses he managed, which were under Kingstown Golden Telecommunications business canopy.“Oh gosh! It's them.”“Marshall is using that leftover power to fight us. Yes, h

Chapter 196: “Thank You Sharon”
Elliot and James couldn't afford to muster any word in defense. The checkmate card on them was smooth and unexpected.Two minutes in drive with the police officers to Gerald's hideout for thorough arrest.Would Elliot and James lead them there?Would the information be leaked to Gerald and his cohorts before the police cruiser arrived?As the commotion in the boardroom subsided, Oprah addressed the shareholders with a firm tone.“Today, we expose deception and manipulation; not to harm, but to heal. Eric Cottage Winery and European Winery Industries will stand stronger, with leaders who genuinely care for integrity and genuine commitment.”Amid the chaos, Caleb received a call. His face etched into a relieved smile, and he signaled to his aunt, who eagerly announced:“Before this meeting concludes, I have one final update. Michael Scofield has been exonerated of all charges. The truth has prevailed, and he will resume his rightful position as the President of European Winery Industrie
Chapter 195: CheckMate!!!
Elliot prepared to deliver the final blow; the devilish proposal to remove Michael Scofield as the President permanently.The motion was still being perceived when Oprah Gracy cleared her throat.“With all due respect,” she began, her voice calm but firm, “before any decisions are made, I believe there is crucial information that must be considered. Information that speaks to the integrity of this organization and some people pushing for such drastic measures.”James’s eyes narrowed, his confidence dropping for a moment. Oprah's confidence somewhat intimidated him.Elliot shot a warning glance at her, but she continued without fear or doubt in her.She signaled Caleb, who activated the projector. Images of financial records, emails, and phone call logs appeared on the screen.The room fell silent. Elliot’s transactions with the accountant of European Winery Industries were displayed, which consisted of the funds transferred, the concocted deals to sabotage Michael's leadership in the
Chapter 194: European Winery Industries
A strong glimpse of tears burned in Oliver King's eyes.Those words from Michael came with absolutely mixed emotions!He couldn't believe what he just heard. “Did he just say he loved me?” he mused in a low breath.He slowly turned facing Michael in slow motion to take a proper look at his face.Michael unleashed a faint calm smile with a slight nod.The sergeant zipped his lips. He understood the moment and didn't want to interrupt given the fact they were done with their conversation.He understood the love between father and son and what it meant for Michael to admit he loved Oliver King.He didn't want to ruin the moment!Oliver's expression was plunged in gripping shock not knowing how best to respond.Marshall, who was raised by him, had never acknowledged he loved him.From how Michael spilled those words. It came out straight from his gut and his facial expression echoed— genuineness.Michael and Oliver shared a warm hug. The sergeant stared at them, his eyes darting in slow m
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 189: Togetherness
While Michael strategizes from within the confines of the interrogation room, Sheraton goes further to honor the invitation of Mr. Connection.She found her path to Mr. Snow's residence, explaining the unpleasant situation.Mr. Snow, loyal and influential, promised to use his vast network to uncover the truth.However, before both met, Mr. Snow, Bossman, and Oliver King had already paid Michael a visit for some thick conversations.Lord Eric had been under the weather after the invitation to Michael by the police force, but Oprah, Stephanie, and Sharon had ensured he took his medication when due.“He has done so much for me and my family,” Mr. Snow mouthed while staring at Sheraton. “If someone's trying to destroy him, they'll have to go through me first.”With Snow's vast connections, they managed to discreetly hire a private investigator, a seasoned detective named Caleb Rouke.Caleb had a reputation for digging deep and unveiling secrets buried beneath shadows of deception.He had
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
