RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW 111- on the verge of losing Ashley Group
Soon they arrived at a beautiful mansion. The huge gate opened automatically, and Mello drove in. They got out of the car and looked around. There was no one in sight; the place was completely empty.Mello smiled, moved over, opened the door, and walked in. The mansion was silent, each step echoing through the empty rooms.They went into the main room to see Mr Baker, Elijah, one of the smartest hacker in the research department, Lex and Kelan. There was also a big visible screen by the wall.Esther placed both of her hands over her mouth and nearly screamed when she saw him. Kelan appeared to be in bad shape, yet he still managed to hold a smile.There was a bandage wrapped tightly around his head She turned to Mello in surprise, her eyes brimming with tears. "How can you hide this from me?""It's a surprise," Mello replied, his voice tinged with regret. "I don't trust anyone anymore, so I had to be careful about who might be eavesdropping on our conversations. I'm sorry.""Come ov

Mello chuckled."Since Sir Ren's main establishment where he conducts his illegal activities is Ren's Logistics, I'm going in myself," Mello declared." What!!" Esther's eyes almost fell off their sockets " What do you mean? " Kelvin shouted." You remember the last time didn't end well!!" Esther rushed." Mello, please don't make any rash decisions please."Mr Baker added.Mello looked at them." This is the only way to save Ashley Group, I have a strong feeling that I'm going to get something out of it when I go in myself." " But Ren's logistics is very tight, how do you plan to make it in."" Well, that's where Ashley pharmaticals comes in. Since Ashley pharmaticals make casual delivery to Ren's pharmaticals today, then I'm going in as one of the delivery boys."" What if they fished you out ""He won't notice anything. His moles must have informed him that I'm still inside Ashley Quarters," Mello asserted. "I just have to get in, and then I'll figure out the rest on my own.""Al
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW 113- I'm wishing you luck, Boss.
Elijah spoke again into my earbud" I'm wishing you luck, Boss. You don't have to say anything so you won't seem suspicious and I have hacked into their inspections gadgets and surveillance so you can be rest assured you won't be detected."Mello smiled and followed the others in.The inspection team at the entrance allowed them in after a few minutes of running inspection on them.Mello sighed a relief when he saw that they were finally allowed in.It was through the back door and only a few people were around. A guard came and led them down to the store room where they met another group of securities . They all bowed and moved in dropping the boxes on a designated shelf Mello dropped his and walked outside.He took another box and walked slowly.Instead of going through the normal route, he quickly sneaked away into another passage, praying no one noticed his divergence.Mello held his breath and stuck to the wall, careful not to draw attention.The hallway was dimly lit and smell

Mello walked further down the hallway, trying to stay calm. Suddenly, he barged into someone. His heartbeat sank, fearing his cover was blown. He looked up and was relieved to see it was Sir Chen."Mello, what are you doing here?" Sir Chen whispered urgently, his eyes wide with surprise.Before Mello could respond, they heard footsteps approaching. Guards were coming. Sir Chen quickly dragged Mello to a corner and covered his mouth, signaling him to stay quiet." I need to get into Sir Ren's secret office"Mello replied after he freed his mouth." What! That's Sir Ren's top room, this is suicidal! Mello." Sir Chen pointed towards a door down the hall. It was heavily guarded, with six guards stationed outside.Mello's eyes widened in shock. "How am I supposed to get in there?" he whispered, barely audible.Sir Chen leaned in closer, taking a deep breath. "We need to create a distraction. I'll handle the guards. You get inside and find what you need."Mello nodded, grateful for Sir Chen'
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW 115- what's Mello planning
Elijah's voice came through Mello's earbud again. "You can go now. The men are already in the building.""Okay," Mello replied.He stood up and turned to his colleague. "I'll go and check if there's any left in the vehicle.""Alright," the colleague said, nodding.Mello walked out, his heart pounding as he made his way through the corridors. He maintained a calm facade, moving with purpose to avoid drawing attention. Reaching the exit, he glanced around to ensure no one was watching and slipped out into the second hallway.Almost instantly, a man emerged from the shadows and walked out. Mello hurriedly hid himself behind a nearby door, pressing his back against the cold stone. The man moved quickly, muttering to himself, his footsteps echoing through the hallway.The man got to the door at the end of the hallway, Sir Ren's secret room.The man knocked in a specific pattern, and after a moment, the door creaked open, allowing him entry. Mello held his breath, watching as the door clos

Mello stood outside in a room tow door away from Sir Ren's office.He changed the setting on his earbuds and connected them to the recorder in Sir Ren's office.He waited patiently for Sir Ren to say something. Just then, a phone rang in the room and it was placed on speaker.Mello listened attentively.📞 Mikel, are you sure your cover isn't blown yet.📞 I'm sure, Sir. I have been extra careful not to draw attention and all is going fine over here. 📞so how's the update on Mello, is he still in his office.📞yes, Mello is feeling sick and trying to avoid the public for now, he had himself locked in his office and he's still inside as we speak. Kelvin told him.📞 Good. Sir Ren dropped the call and laughed to himself."

As he stared at the recorder, his thought flowed."Sir Ren, if I use this evidence to convict you, two things are involved: you might get arrested and lose all your establishments and status, or you might use your connections to get yourself out of prison. But the bottom line is that I will still lose Ashley Group because I am out of time."He decided to consider it from another angle.But if he uses this evidence to secure Ashley Group, he won't be able to bring Sir Ren down again, and he will go scot-freeMello scratched his head angrily, torn between the two options. Should he destroy Sir Ren or save his father's life work?As he pondered, a new thought emerged. What if there was a third option? One that could allow him to achieve both goals?He pulled out his phone and dialed Elijah. "Elijah, I have the evidence. It's explosive, but I'm facing a dilemma. Using it to save Ashley Group means I can't bring down Sir Ren. What if we leverage this to force Sir Ren into a corner?"Elijah

Just then, the warehouse doors swung open with a bang, and Mello rushed in, his steps quick and full of purpose. His eyes locked onto Sir Ren's, unflinching."Malcolm, what is so important?" Mello said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. His sudden appearance left Sir Ren stunned, unable to mask his shock. How did Mello manage to bypass his guards so easily?"What... what are you doing here?" Sir Ren snarled, anger twisting his features as he tried to regain his composure.Mello simply smiled, that infuriating calm spreading across his face, as if he knew something Sir Ren didn't. That smile was enough to make Sir Ren hiss with frustration, realizing he was surrounded by evidence that could incriminate him.Panic flickered across Sir Ren's face, his eyes darting to the drugs and documents scattered around. "Shit! Everybody clear out! Move! Gun him down, now!" Sir Ren screamed, his voice cracking with desperation as he reached for his men.But before he could finish his order, the room s

As Mello drove away, the lights from his father's mansion grew smaller in the rearview mirror until they disappeared entirely. His jaw was clenched tight, muscles tense, as his mind raced with the weight of everything he’d just faced. The meeting had been more painful than he’d imagined, more personal than he had wanted it to be. But there was no room for regret now.He took a deep breath, his fingers drumming impatiently against the steering wheel. This was the last step of the plan, the final confrontation that would bring everything together. Yet, in the back of his mind, a whisper of doubt gnawed at him—would his father really let him go through with this? Or was there another twist waiting in the shadows?As he drove through the dimly lit streets, his phone buzzed on the passenger seat. He hesitated, glancing at the screen. It was a message from Zach.**"All set on my end. Sir Ren’s warehouse is under close watch. Your move now. Make it count."**Mello’s eyes narrowed, the resolv

Mello smiled politely as he rose from the plush leather chair. “Thank you, President,” he said, his tone measured, careful not to let the adrenaline that still pulsed through his veins leak into his voice.He turned to leave, but before he could take more than a step, Sir Asher’s voice stopped him. “It’s late, Mello. Why don’t you stay here tonight? Get some rest.”Mello paused, his back to the man, and allowed a moment of consideration to pass. The offer was laced with something more—an unspoken test. Was this an olive branch, or was it bait? Either way, he couldn’t stay.He smiled, glancing over his shoulder. “I’m a man of time, and unfortunately, I don’t have much to spare at the moment. I appreciate the offer, though.”Sir Asher studied him for a second, then gave a curt nod. “Very well,” he replied, his face expressionless, though the calculating gleam in his eyes hadn’t faded.Mello turned and headed for the door, walking with an air of calm composure, though every nerve in his

As Mello left Sir Nerio’s residence, he couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal hanging over him like a storm cloud. His father’s silence over the years suddenly made sense, and he felt a mix of anger and disappointment rising in his chest. But he pushed those emotions aside; he had a mission to complete.The ride to Sir Asher’s estate was long, giving Mello time to strategize. He needed to gather more evidence, and he couldn’t let his father’s involvement cloud his judgment. When he finally arrived, the sight before him was nothing short of overwhelming.The estate loomed like a fortress, sprawling over vast acres with manicured lawns, fountains, and elaborate sculptures. It looked more like a city than a home. Mello stepped out of his car, taking a moment to adjust his suit, ensuring he looked every bit the part of a powerful player in this high-stakes game.As he approached the entrance, two guards stood at attention, their eyes scanning him with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. He

Mello settled into the plush booth, his heart pounding as he faced Sir Nerio. The Prime Minister looked polished and composed, as expected, but Mello knew beneath that facade lay a man tangled in a web of corruption. “Let’s skip the pleasantries,” Mello began, his tone firm and unwavering. “I’m not here to exchange small talk. I know about your dealings with Sir Ren.”Sir Nerio feigned confusion, raising an eyebrow. “What dealings? I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Mello. You must be mistaken.”Mello couldn’t help but smirk at the Prime Minister’s naivety. “Mistaken? Really? I have video evidence of you in a room full of drugs, discussing shipments with Sir Ren.” He pulled out his phone, swiping through the screens until he found the video. He pressed play, and the room filled with the sound of laughter echoing from the screen.The footage showed Sir Ren and Sir Nerio, surrounded by piles of drugs, their faces illuminated by the dim lights of the room. The two men leaned in clo

Mello felt a surge of realization wash over him. No wonder his father had never interfered with Sir Ren's dealings all these years. The weight of his father’s choices settled heavily in his gut. Even though Mr. Buster had the power to quench Sir Ren's operations, he never did. The truth was painfully clear: Sir Ren had something on him, some past dealings and evidence that kept him silent.Mello clenched his jaw, anger bubbling beneath the surface. His father, a man he had respected, was ensnared in a web of deceit, trapped by his own mistakes. It was infuriating to think that the very person who should have been a protector had chosen to align with a monster out of fear.The room was still, the atmosphere thick with tension. Mello looked at his team, their faces a mix of concern and determination. He couldn’t let this betrayal distract him. He had a mission to accomplish.“Alright, let’s focus,” he said, forcing his voice to remain steady. “So, any update on Sir Vane?” Mello asked,

As the evening shadows stretched across the sky, Mello felt a surge of impatience. He couldn’t wait any longer. Something inside him gnawed at his sense of urgency.He turned to Lisa, who was resting beside him. “I’ve got to go,” he said softly, brushing a kiss against her forehead. Before she could protest or ask him to stay, Mello was already on his feet, leaving her with just a glance.In the living room, he pulled out his phone and dialed Kelan. His voice was steady, but there was a quiet intensity beneath it. “Kelan, gather the team. We’re meeting at the hideout. It’s time.”There was a brief pause on the other end before Kelan answered, “We’ll be ready.”Mello ended the call, his mind racing. Tonight would set everything in motion.Mello slipped into his car, the engine purring to life as he pulled out of the driveway. The city lights flickered in the distance, but his mind was elsewhere, focused on the task ahead. The weight of the evidence he’d seen gnawed at him—the video of

Mello lay in bed, his thoughts racing. The room was quiet now; Kelan and Lisa had gone to the doctor to finalize his discharge. He rubbed his temples, trying to make sense of everything. The previous night still haunted him, but it also fueled his determination.Suddenly, the phone beside him rang. It wasn’t his. He glanced at the unknown number flashing on the screen, instinct telling him to answer. Hesitating for a moment, he placed the call on speaker."Hope it didn’t hurt much," a familiar voice chuckled through the speaker. It was Zach, his tone mocking yet amused.Mello couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re crazy, but I’ve got to hand it to you, it was a brilliant plan."Zach’s laughter followed. "That means you owe me, you know, for boosting your fame and making you the talk of the town overnight."Mello smiled, recalling how close he came to losing everything. "When I nearly died last night? Yeah, thanks for that.""It was just a light knockout. You’re still here, right?" Zach’s gr

the next morning When Mello opened his eyes, he found himself in a room full of people, all watching him with worried expressions. Their whispers filled the air. "He's awake," someone said softly.Disoriented, Mello rubbed his eyes and saw Kelan and Lisa standing nearby, their faces pale with fear. He slowly sat up in bed, feeling a dull ache in his head. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice groggy.Kelan motioned for the others to leave, and soon it was just the three of them in the room. Lisa, sitting by his side, took his hand and spoke " thank God" Mello stared at her, trying to process what had happened. Mello blinked slowly, trying to piece together what had happened. His body felt heavy, his mind foggy. He looked down at Lisa, who was resting her head on his legs, her silent tears soaking into the blanket. The weight of her words sank in, but they felt distant, like an echo from a dream."Attacked?" he muttered, still rubbing his temple. His eyes flickered over to Kelan
