Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 70: John Meets Michael!!!
Jake struggled to observe a steady hard breath to control his breathing pace.Of all the things he'd have suspected, he definitely wouldn't have known what the new COO was already planning before sending for him.Perhaps, if for a second he had chilled out and allowed Michael Scofield to inform him of the reason for his summon, probably, he'd have gotten a stance on how to handle the threatening situation.[Is he really guilty?]Most of the invited Audit team had their eyeballs bulged at Jake who did everything possible to avoid eye contact by staring downwardly and forcing glimpses of smiles here and there.Apparently, Michael didn't engage the two parties before him in any quick conversation; he took his time to observe their outlooks, demeanors, reactions, emotional countenances, and whatever in-depth he could perceive.In less than a minute, his phone beeped, and it came from Sheraton, who winked at him after he was done reading through the text message.“Sir… Sir, what could we h
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 71: The Mind Game Continues!!!
His words depicted a different aura from what his actions were exuding and it was crystal clear for a blind man to deduce.Michael knew John wasn't good under pressure, and the few minutes of his entrance had given him enough belief that both parties should have been accomplices in shady businesses.Jake ignorantly prayed inwardly for the new COO to buy John's last statement and not stress the conversation any further.“Wow. Lack of food makes one behave like a suspect? I never knew,” Michael sarcastically mused and sighed in his heart.Sheraton, for over two minutes, vehemently fought not to laugh out during John's blame on lack of breakfast and held her mouth warming for the chuckles yet to come.“You mean to say because you skipped breakfast, you suddenly perceive Jake as a man with no integrity even without being asked? Huh? Make that make sense to me.”As usual, Michael didn't let the sleeping dogs lie; he believed he could leverage John's clumsiness and have him spill too much.
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 72: Stay Tuned!!!
Sheraton Morgan, who had been deliberately standing behind Jake and John with her arms positioned in akimbo posture, decided to briskly sit somewhat beside them still stealing glances at their unhidden clumsiness.The informed words of Michael Scofield about the expected company plunged perplexity and anxiety in their countenance, with their heart entertaining, disturbing thoughts.They still haven't grasped what the new COO is fully planning on but the scent of it didn't seem like a good omen.Michael was already having a long day, but he never envisaged to behold two guilty-minded personnel to constantly humiliate themselves all in the name of appearing as the better person.Interestingly, he observed something fundamental with his time spent with both men before him— he'd have rushed to mouth out why they were summoned or unveiled his furious facial expression.Importantly, a subtle voice whispered to his gut to sit down calmly— and wear a believable mild expression, while watching
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 73: Morris Meets Michael!!!
It wasn't until sixty seconds after the fear-gripping words fell out from Michael Scofield’s mouth, that a subtle knock was perceived from the office door.He blinked at Sheraton Morgan to do the needful as he couldn't wait to see the outcome of subsequent dramas.He was done entertaining the comedy concert of his labeled two staff and it was high time they moved to the next level.She arose with a smiling aura and faced towards the door— each of her deliberate footsteps slammed John and Jake's hearts like a drumbeat.[It's Michael's world against theirs!]Their random thoughts fell into a jumbled mess as they couldn't make sense of what was looming around their necks.Michael remained calm and calculative while he watched Sheraton stretch towards the office door knob.“Good morning, you're welcome.”She chimed in with a welcoming smile and swung the door wider.“Good morning, the goddess of beauty personified. Your beauty seems renewed every single morning.”A somewhat charmy thick v
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 74: Morris Disgruntlement!!!
Both guilty-minded personnel exchanged conscious eye contact and drew a deep breath in fear of what would soon befall them.Originally, Jake and John would have had words to spill to disorient the atmosphere, but Michael once allowed them to express whatever was left, and they unanimously decided not to say any further words.Little wonder, they had been unbelievably silent and would speak up only being spoken to.Morris held his two palms in respect to Michael for the opportunity and without delay unzipped his lips:“Mr. Jake is a profound thief. Not just a thief but a clever mastermind who doesn't do anything without a beneficial clause attached to it.”His first labeling words had begun, which sent an explicit message to Jake and his supposed cohort that hell had completely broken loose.He tried to maintain a calmer disposition as though Morris’ words weren't penetrating but his vibrating legs betrayed him.Michael and Sheraton could decisively decode the gripping tension in Jake'
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 75: Reverse Psychology!!!
Jake garnered some level of growing confidence in expressing himself before he drowned without attempting to save himself.His eyes were somewhat overly widened against Morris in a staunch defense against his repeated accusations.The atmosphere abruptly went silent which gave the two men the chance to continually stare at each other with lots of sneering and sighing.Sheraton, who was preparing to blurt out a scornful laugh against Jake and John after the premeditated appearance of Morris, was shunned at the proactive response of Jake.She rotated her eyes at all the men in the office, including Michael Scofield, who maintained an approachable demeanor thus far.John's facial expression suddenly started coming alive after the epic defense from his colleague— he nudged his neck and rolled his eyelids against Morris as a smidge of confidence sprinkled on his guts.The new COO wasn't entirely surprised by Jake's proficiency in words and his quickness in propelling a defense mechanism to
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 76: Jake's Resolute Stance!!!
Jake, John, and the other junior staff had their eyes darting across the door in anticipation of the unexpected guest(s)They presumed the company that the new COO was referring to was just Morris, little did they know more people would be welcomed sooner.As the doorknob seemed squeezed, and the door gradually swung open— their hearts profoundly jolted in confusion, with their feet running cold.It was looking like the CEO of Afrik Industries had something cooking up underneath that they failed to realize in time.Michael Scofield smiled inwardly and codedly gave Morris a thumbs up on how the situation had been handled thus far.Sheraton, in her usual posture, had her right leg crossed, her facial expression quite welcoming while waiting for the other personnel.Within a three-second countdown, two men gently walked inside the office, all dressed in corporate attire, with one brown envelope each on their palms.Their demeanor was mild as they went further to greet Michael, Morris, an
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 77: “I'm Fucked!!!”
Michael was swift with his demanding tone, not giving Jake enough time to cook up another set of defensive mechanisms.He knew if given a few moments of introspectiveness, Jake would most likely discover a new route of escaping the prevailing circumstance.Morris and his subordinates folded their arms while stealing spiteful glares at him.“Why the efforts to destroy my image? Where did you get those ridiculous account details from?”“Boss, I know what Morris is doing right now. Please don't fall for it. Anyone could manufacture such purported files as evidence.”Despite Michael's threatening tone, Jake managed to find defensive words to keep his guard afloat.Technically, Morris presenting a mere file that had fraudulent account details wouldn't be enough to back up his heavy accusations against Jake.There was no evident connection with the alleged personnel and, hence, could be argued or declared inconsequential.Jake swiftly realized that and used that as a stance to defend himsel

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

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
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
