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

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
Chapter 203: A Breach In The Walls
While Michael battled public unrest on the latest development--- a more harmful attack was looming within the company.That evening, Christine, the head of cybersecurity in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, stepped into his office, her face wrapped with concern while she breathed urgently.Behind her was Malik, the financial advisor who had worked in the company for over six years, his demeanor etched with unease.“We have a problem, Sir,” she began first, placing a file on his desk. “Hmm… A big one.”Michael calmly flipped it open. 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
Chapter 202: In Her Arms
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
Chapter 201: The Storm Breaks
Two weeks after Marshall’s threatening text message, the looming threat that had been foreseen was finally showcased.It began subtly with whispers in the media about internal conflicts at Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.The bitter truth was Michael hadn't gotten a full grasp of the flow of activities in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.He was still unlearning and relearning how the company functioned with the aid of his father, Scarlett, but it was a different ball game with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise because he had always been a fan of great wine.Also while working as the inventory officer at Charleston Park Shopping--- still married to Michelle. He used to request Eric Cottage Wines for sales.It was more like a walk in the park for him. Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However
Chapter 200: The Looming Strike
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

In the days following the dramatic shareholder meeting, Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise began the long process of recovery.The revelation of Gerald Sanchez's conspiracy left a mix of relief and mixed feelings on the foundation of European Winery Industries.If some stakeholders were considering removing Michael as the president. How long before another conspiracy would emerge?Michael, still the vehement COO, knew that while Gerald and his cohorts had been arrested, the journey to rebuild the company’s reputation had just begun.Oprah and Sheraton gathered the staff in the conference hall for an official address from Michael.There was a surge of anticipation; a mixture of excitement and curiosity. As Michael stepped up to the stage, his gaze darted across the familiar faces that had endured the stages of chaos so far.“Thank you all for your resilience, dedication, and trust,” he mouthed, his voice heartwarming. “The past months have tested us in core ways, but we stood firm. Now, it

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
