Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 33: Cole Meets Michael
“It’s fifteen minutes past eight. Sharon, you're late? Resuming work late on Monday morning? That's a bad start though.” “What happened? From the timekeeping record you always make it to work before 7:50 AM,” Michael calmly inquired, his face etched with ease. Her heart thumped in restlessness as she tried to hide her somewhat teary eyes. “I’m deeply sorry, supervisor. I promise it wasn't intentional.” He nodded for her to step into the production room as her words resonated with his thought, he believed something wrong could have happened to precipitate her lateness. He understood part of his job, which was ensuring the production staff were punctual to work and would report to Miss Sheraton if anyone chose to be defiant. He meticulously went through all the staff employment files during the weekend and decoded their names and faces— little wonder, he quickly grasped that her name was Sharon who happened to be one of the assistant production wine mixers. “Such a kind-hea
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 34: Oprah Meets Michael
“You gotta be joking right?” Stephanie mouthed with no iota of smile trapped on her face.On the other hand, Michael maintained his cool and smiled inwardly— he was beginning to love the adventure even more.Last week, on his first day in the office, he suspected Oprah Gracy but could not wrap his head around what she was, and suddenly, the narrative had swiftly changed. [Huh?]“Why didn't you tell me about another party involved?” she continually questioned with her words striking like an alarm without warnings.Michael patted her shoulder to chill out a little bit and have the young man explain himself.“Steph, I'm really sorry that I had to protect her identity at first. I needed to open up with someone in the company, and you were the better option, but at first, I couldn't completely trust you.”“I was afraid of the plan failing, if by any chance, you’d betrayed me, then Oprah Gracy’s identity would have still been hidden from the strategic moles with all eyes focused on me inste
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 35: “Do You Believe In Miracles?”
Oprah's cheeks wrapped with a smile; she observed the new freelance writer had really had his ears to the ground.Stephanie nodded intermittently at Michael's outstanding question; she also learned of Oprah's decision and wondered why she didn't sack the receptionists.Cole breathed out with ease, his face charmed in a beam, from his disposition— Michael suspected he already knew about his aunt’s partial decision.“Finally, It's time I gave a full response behind my decision.”“For over a month, Raymond and Cleopatra have been our key suspects as part of the disguised moles in the company. A couple of times Cole has caught them on surveillance trying to dodge the CCTV to make sneaky phone calls. People that do such have skeletons in their cupboards.”“Michael, you're a smart young man, one thing you have over us all— if you were in my shoes, would you sack or suspend them?” Oprah intelligently chipped in; her countenance oozed with cleverness.Michael, within moments, thought through
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 36: A Love Triangle???
“Do you believe in miracles,” those words kept thudding on Sharon's head for several hours while on duty.She didn't grasp why Michael made that expression while she constantly wondered how in heaven's name would such an amount of money be raised within the shortest time.TICK!!!It was already 18 hours on the clock, and most staff had rounded up with their work endeavors, including Michael.Thirty minutes ago, he received a text message from Lord Eric Sanchez, which read; “My boy, we have an outstanding discussion.”His mind was set on what information hadn't been disclosed yet and why he had kept it unknown for a while.He believed Sheraton knew about what Lord Eric was about to spill, but as usual, she wore a professional outlook and stuck to the undercover mission routine.***In less than an hour— he was already in the mansion with his eyes searching through if he’d sight Sheraton's car, and boom, he caught a glance of it.With a deliberate beam, he muttered. “I knew it. She's in
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 37: The Secret Flavor!!!
Lord Eric stared at both and unleashed a short smile as though he somewhat eavesdropped on their conversation.[Could he have?]“My boy, during the winemaking processes, what have you observed?” Lord Eric chimed with another intriguing question.Without explanation, Michael already knew his questions were on a route to a premeditated direction, and whatever the answer could be would be related to why he opted for a discussion.“Well, I have taken cognizant of some winemaking routines but one that's most striking is the finishing touch…” he got into words and paused for a while to find the perfect words to use.Lord Eric gestured his left arm out for him to continue already.Michael switched his gaze towards Sheraton as hints of what he had seen in the winery company replayed in his head once again.“I have observed that during the final wine mixing process, the last elements and unique flavors are solely done by Sheraton in her private office, which no other staff has access to.”“I b
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 38: “Miracles Really Do Happen”
***5:56 AM*** 5:57***5:58***5:59** and finally, at 6:00 AM on the dot, a resounding ringing tone was perceived.The call buzzed Sharon out of slumber with a persistent vibration in her ears.She reactively woke up with her eyes narrowed while bulging at the echoing phone call singing across her apartment.“An unsaved number? Calling this early?” she mumbled with a deep sigh before attempting to pick up the call.“Hello…” her voice crept out expecting a swift response from the goddamn caller disrupting her sleep.She barely slept all through the night with deep thoughts of her mum's deteriorating health knowing she'd be pronounced dead in a few days.In split seconds, the caller's voice broke out with much hastiness and urgency:“C’mon Miss, where are you? Your mother will soon be moved to the Operating Theatre at exactly 6:25 AM. You should be here to at least say some encouraging words to her before the surgeons take over.”Sharon flickered her eyes in absolute confusion while she a
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 39: Sharon's Epistle!!!
A series of palpitations was induced in the air as Sharon's ears were slammed with an eerie thudding sound after those shocking words oozed out from her lips.Michael stood in silence with his eyeballs glued at her without knowing the best words to employ.He was astute in judging people's emotions and character, but for some reason, he saw more of her good traits.“I know you're mad at your discovery and wouldn't hesitate in reporting me to the higher administrative positions.”“Yes, I know that's what you'd do, my fate is already doomed,” her muffled voice etched with intense regret.He remained speechless while garnering the perfect means of addressing the unforeseen development.“My instincts tell me you didn't want this. What happened? The odd Samaritan needs to know the full story and the subjects involved in the evil plot.”His words were charmed with in-depth wisdom, his tone wrapped in great intuition while he surprisingly maintained a mild composure.She flinched in extreme
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 40: The Abduction!!!
Michael rolled his eyes in building thoughts; her last words trapped him in more depth on the mystery behind the mole scheme against Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise.[It seemed like there was more to what they presumed]“During a couple of our meetings with the topmost players. I notice an unknown personnel covered in a silhouette while feeding them with information about our company.”“The strange person’s identity was deliberately hidden from us and I am certain that mysterious personnel had had a past relationship with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise.”Sharon's words were enmeshed in certainty; she didn't obviously have a reason to tell lies, given the fact she had exposed herself as a mole.After a few seconds of further pondering; Michael's lips finally let loose:“You’ve been blackmailed into working for the bad guys. Although you're guilty of falling prey out of desperation, I'd give you a second chance to make amends.”“I’d advise you to think carefully before responding.”Her s

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!!
Chapter 179: Her ROYALTY?
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.

Indeed, the success of the Wine Tasting Edition solidified its reputation, attracting new partnerships and expanding its reach globally.

Chapter 177: An Unexpected Visitor
A couple of days later, as Michael Scofield was about to exit the office, a familiar face showed forth; Michelle.The security personnel had called to notify him immediately.It was no longer news that Michelle was once married to the COO of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise and divorced during Charleston Park Shopping Mall anniversary when Michael opted out after enduring years of humiliation from his ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law.The security already knew that for some months, Michelle had teamed up with Gerald Sanchez and Marshall to fight her ex-husband.[What the fuck was she doing there?]Surprisingly, Michael informed the security personnel to let her in.Her appearance was a stark contrast to her confident, manipulative expression. 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. I just wanted to explain myself…” her breath was hot in fear while her lips trembled.Michael placed
Chapter 176: The War Really Over?
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
Chapter 175: The Conqueror!
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
Chapter 174: Unmasking The Truth
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. His enemies had employed more desperate tactics, and it was time to expose them publicly, leaving no room for underestimation.A couple of days after the anonymous call, Michael also received a surprising email from an unidentified sender.The subject content had it: “I do have what you need.”Michael glanced in curiosity but he breathed out with caution while opening it.There was a brief message in it:“They’re planning something bigger than you think. Do meet me at the old Kensing
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
