The uncertainty in the office was evident. Each staff member of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise acted with utmost caution, their eyes darted with diligence.Michael’s private meeting with his closest allies had revealed the lurking threat; Gerald and his cohorts were not just issuing threats but an active, vehement force seeking to crumble everything Lod Eric and Michael had built.Each of the foes had a past connection with the CEO and COO and sought a vengeful attack.Michael knew he had to be strategic.

Back at the office, Michael, Oprah, and Stephanie settled in the conference room to examine the contents of the flash drive.Cole, Sharon, and Sheraton joined as well, eager to know what they would uncover.Stephanie worked thoroughly, her fingers trailing across the keyboard. From one folder to another in search of evidence to support the stranger's words.After a few minutes of intensive examining— the recorded phone calls revealed Marshall coordinating with Gerald and Michelle, plotting falsified documents, and bribing insiders.The uncovered emails outlined their malicious plans to plant counterfeit records in Michael’s office, implicating him in espionage.There were even cleanly fabricated images designed to showcase Michael in compromising situations and hence increase the authenticity of their scheme.Oprah's face flushed with displeasure. “Fuck!”“They were bent on destroying you. Not just the company but your entire life.”Michael’s expression was composed, and his eyes flas

For the first time in a while, the weight on Michael's shoulders felt lighter.The threat had subsided, and his reputation was restored. Yet, there was a distinct sense of unfinished business; a whisper of the conflict that would unfold.He found his phone beside his cupboard and read through various congratulatory messages from staff, closest team members, Bossman Shaw, Mr. Snow, and, of course, his biological father.The message from Oliver King had him smiling uncontrollably with warm emotions wrapped in his countenance:“Dear Son, from the first day I set my eyes on you. The mysteriousness that you exuded while exposing Catherine was epic, and I had wondered how a human would be so bold to pull such off. You have earned this victory that everyone is buzzing about. Congratulations and I wouldn't have asked for a better son than you!”He patted his shoulder and whispered under his breath: “Thank you, Dad. I'm grateful.”Also, after reading Bossman’s message, a small beautiful smile

She seemed weary, defeated.“Michelle,” he mentioned with a cautionary tone.Her eyes flashed with regret. “I didn’t come here to ask for forgiveness.

Before afternoon on the same day, Michael was seated across from Shaw in his luxurious penthouse, the view of the city appealing but that was none of his fantasies at the moment.He would have had a meeting with Mr. Snow alongside Shaw but he traveled for an urgent business meeting in Berlin.However, Michael kept Mr. Connection informed of the latest developments.Marshall and Gerald's escape from detention shouldn't be taken for granted.He defeated them in their past sabotages and understood how dicey the situation was.Shaw’s presence was powerful yet calm; his composure echoed a billionaire who had seen his share of conflicts.It is impossible to be aiming higher without having stumbling blocks along the way which would be incited by your fierce enemies who desperately want you out.“So, tell me. What’s the play? I suspect of the looming threats given the fact Gerald and Marshall are no longer in detention,” Shaw got talking while pouring two glasses of Scotch.[What is a meeting
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 180: Inevitable WAR
Shaw didn't waste any time as he employed his private investigator, who had already made some progress a few hours after Micheal had a meeting with him.They traced unauthorized log-ins to an employee in the marketing department, a young man in his late twenties named Jared Steele, in his illegal involvement with another personnel.Shaw's private investigation team reached out to Michael with the latest information of their findings.He summoned Jared to his office, accompanied by Bossman Shaw’s head of security. The young man stepped inside with a disoriented demeanor.From how rapidly he flickered his eyes, he already suspected a problem!“Jared,” Michael called out, his voice steady and raw.“I know what you’re doing. I know about the data breaches, the unauthorized access; working with Greg Turner to sabotage this company.”Jared’s eyes flushed in anxiety, fear consumed his facial expression. “Sir… sir… I… don’t know what you’re talking about.”Even the lie felt dumb in his ears!!

Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i

Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo

Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w

Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
