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

Mello walked into the general meeting looking as composed as ever. He took his seat and opened the file spread across the table in front of him, listening attentively as Clara, the chairperson, addressed the gathered shareholders."Please proceed," Clara said, looking out at the crowd of concerned faces.A smile played on Mello's lips when he noticed Sir Barnes among the attendees. He had been preoccupied, forgetting about the pending shopping mall project, but that would have to wait."It's about our lockout at Ashley Health Care," Sir Lee began. "We've been locked down for too long, just as we were beginning operations again. Reacquiring our patients has been a challenge.""What's more, we're facing significant financial losses," Sir Gusta added. "Our doctors and nurses, who were sent home during the lockdown, are now demanding payment for the days the hospital was closed.""Yes, Mello, how can we justify paying them for not working when the hospital was shut down?"

Ray stormed out of the room, his mind racing with frustration and urgency, only to come face to face with the two delegates he had punched earlier. They stood outside, waiting apprehensively.Seeing them again ignited Ray's anger anew. He stopped abruptly in his tracks, his face contorted with irritation. "What is it?!" he shouted at them, his voice booming with intensity.The delegates flinched at his outburst, clearly taken aback by Ray's ferocity. They exchanged nervous glances, unsure of how to respond to his sudden aggression."We... we brought important news, sir," one of them managed to stammer out, his voice trembling slightly.Ray's expression softened slightly, though his frustration still simmered beneath the surface. He took a deep breath, trying to reign in his emotions. "Ok,noted, so what is it?" he replied tersely. The delegates hesitated for a moment, clearly nervous under Ray's stern gaze."We heard important information, sir," one of them began tentatively. "Mello i

"Okay, sir. I'll take my leave now," Kelvin said, turning to leave."Wait," Mello called after him, a smile spreading across his face. "I planned on treating you to breakfast today. Do you want to deny my request?"Kelvin smiled and turned back to face Mello. "No, Mello, since you insist, okay.Mello stood up, grabbing his coat. "Great! Let's take a break and enjoy a good meal. We deserve it after all the hard work."Kelvin nodded smiling as they left the office together.**Lisa woke up feeling happy, the enticing aroma from the kitchen drawing her out of bed. It had been a long time since she woke up this late and it could be seen in her smiles. She walked to the kitchen with happily to find Jessica making sandwiches and poached eggs."Hey Jessie," Lisa greeted warmly. "I didn't even know when you returned last night. ." She smiled, using her hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.Jessica barely responded, her expression somber and tinged with a hint of anger. She contin

Mello drove into the lot of the restaurant and parked. His security vehicle also stopped behind him.He and Kelan got out with smiles before proceeding into the building. Kelan surveyed the place. It wasn't flashy or expensive, but it was neat and welcoming. It made Kelan wonder why Mello would want to eat in such a common place, but he kept his thoughts to himself.Inside, they were greeted by a friendly hostess who showed them to a cozy booth near the window. Mello seemed completely at ease, his good mood evident."Why here?" Kelan finally asked as they sat down.Mello chuckled. "Sometimes, the simplest places offer the best food and the most relaxed atmosphere. Plus, it's good to take a break from all the luxury now and then."Kelan nodded, appreciating Mello's perspective. As they looked over the menu, Mello continued, "Besides, it's these little places where you find the most genuine experiences. I like to stay grounded."Kelan smiled. "I can see that. I'm looking forward to it."

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
