Damian chuckled, getting up from his chair again and walking toward her. “What could possibly go wrong?” He tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with amusement.Laura glanced away, as if unsure. “I don’t know… things like this can get messy. And if the boss finds out—”“Tch.” Damian scoffed. “She won’t. I have everything under control.” He took another step closer, lowering his voice. “Laura, all you have to do is listen to me, and I promise things will get better for you here. You don’t have to struggle like the others.”She forced a small, hesitant nod. “I… I’ll think about it.”Damian grinned, clearly pleased. “That’s all I ask. Take your time.”Laura nodded again before finally turning and walking out of his office, her heart steady but her mind racing. She had planted the seed—now it was only a matter of time before Damian dug his own grave.As Laura turned to leave, Damian suddenly reached out and slapped her ass, his fingers lingering as he tried to pull her closer."Sir!" Laura

At the same time, Laura sat at her desk, pretending to be focused on her work, but her mind was elsewhere. She was just waiting for the best opportunity to slip into Damian’s office and retrieve the hidden camera.She stole quick glances at the office door, hoping for a moment when Damian would step out or be too distracted to notice her. The last thing she wanted was to raise any suspicion.Every second that passed felt longer, but she knew she had to be patient. The camera had already recorded crucial evidence—now, all she needed was a perfect chance to retrieve it without getting caught.As soon as Damian stepped out of his office and headed toward the washroom, Laura knew this was her chance. She quickly grabbed a few files, pretending to have an errand, and made her way toward his office.Just as she reached the door, however, Sophia suddenly stepped in front of her, arms crossed, looking at her suspiciously."And where do you think you're going?" Sophia asked, tilting her head s
Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 201
Damian nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be there."Sophia gave him a satisfied look before turning and walking out of the office, shutting the door behind her.Meanwhile, Laura made her way back to her seat, her heart still racing. The moment she sat down, she let out a quiet breath of relief—she had almost been caught. That was too close.She quickly retrieved the memory card from the hidden camera, slipping it safely into her pocket before placing the now-empty camera to her side. She needed to pass this onto the boss as soon as possible.Just then, a presence at the entrance caught her attention. The office suddenly shifted as the director walked in, looking elegant and commanding as always.Immediately, the entire office stood up in unison, their voices respectful as they greeted her."Good morning, ma'am.""Good morning, ma'am."The director gave a brief nod, her sharp eyes scanning the room as she walked deeper inside.As everyone settled back into their work after greeting the d

The director exhaled sharply and clicked on the email Damian had sent. As she scrolled through the report, her eyes darkened at the outrageous figures he had listed."One hundred and fifty thousand dollars?" she muttered under her breath. "This man has no shame."Her fingers tightened around the mouse, but she remained composed, her anger simmering beneath a cold, calculating exterior. He really thought he could keep getting away with this?Meanwhile…Laura sat at her desk, her fingers fidgeting slightly as she stared at her screen. It had been several minutes since she sent the email, but there was no reaction yet."Did she see it?" Laura wondered. "What if she ignores it? Or worse… what if Damian somehow finds out I sent it?"She forced herself to focus on her work, but her heart kept pounding. She had taken a big risk. Now, all she could do was wait.About twenty minutes later, the director’s phone buzzed. She picked it up and placed it against her ear."We're at your place, outsid

Damian swallowed hard, his entire body tense."You think you can just hand positions to whoever you want?" she added, glaring at Sophia, who looked ready to collapse from embarrassment.Sophia’s legs felt weak. She knew everyone’s eyes were on her, judging her, but she couldn’t even lift her head.The director turned back to Damian. "You really thought you were untouchable, didn’t you?" she sneered.Damian opened his mouth to defend himself, but no words came out. He knew there was nothing he could say. The proof was right there, playing in front of everyone.The weight of his downfall was crushing him.The director’s piercing gaze swept across the office before she spoke again."Who’s Laura?" she asked, her voice sharp and demanding.The room fell into a tense silence.Laura, who had been watching everything unfold with bated breath, felt her heart skip a beat. Slowly, she stood up, trying to keep her expression neutral despite the way her hands trembled slightly."I’m Laura, ma’am,"
Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 204
The director looked at Laura, her expression firm yet approving. "You'll resume the role of the assistant now, taking Sophia’s position. Train yourself well, and after a month, you’ll take the role as the head of the department."Laura's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-what?" she gasped, covering her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes.The entire office erupted in applause.Overwhelmed with emotion, Laura dropped to her knees in front of the director. "Thank you so much, ma’am! I won’t let you down!”The director gave a small nod before turning and walking back into her office, leaving the employees buzzing with excitement.Laura’s colleagues rushed to her, hugging and congratulating her."You did it, Laura! You exposed him and now look!""Head of department in a month? That’s insane!""You deserve it!"Laura couldn’t stop smiling, happiness radiating from her. At that moment, she felt an immense wave of gratitude—not just for the opportunity but for the one person who had encouraged

Elijah watched as more people excitedly approached Sierra, some even trying to get closer for more pictures and videos. He could see that Sierra, though polite, was starting to look overwhelmed.Stepping forward, he raised his hand slightly, his expression firm but composed. "Alright, that's enough," he said in a calm yet authoritative tone. "She's here for business, not a fan meeting. Let her be."His presence alone was enough to make some people hesitate. A few lingered, reluctant to leave, but Elijah’s sharp gaze swept over them. "You’ve had your pictures, now move along," he added.Slowly, the crowd dispersed, some whispering among themselves about how protective Elijah seemed over Sierra. As the last few people walked away, Elijah turned to Sierra. "Don’t let it bother you. Just focus on what you came here for," he said, his voice gentler now.Sierra exhaled, giving him a small smile. "Thanks."Elijah simply nodded, keeping his attention ahead as they waited for Jacob.Meanwhile,

Elijah nodded. “If you love it, of course. Why not?” He then turned to Jacob. “How much is it?”Jacob smiled. “The 2024 Audi Q8 is priced at $78,000 for this fully loaded version. But since it’s you, young boss, I can offer a special deal—$75,000 with all the necessary paperwork handled immediately.”Sierra’s eyes widened slightly at the price, but she remained quiet, looking at Elijah to see his reaction.Elijah turned to Sierra. “Are you okay with the price?”Sierra looked at the car again, her fingers brushing over its sleek surface before nodding. “Yeah, I can afford it.”Jacob smiled. “Perfect!”As Sierra finalized her choice, Elijah continued strolling through the garage, his sharp eyes scanning the variety of luxury vehicles. He wasn’t in a rush, simply taking in the selection.Then, his gaze landed on a striking 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado—rugged yet refined, built for both city drives and tough terrains. The sleek midnight black exterior gleamed under the soft lighting of

His cold, sharp eyes locked onto Elijah's calm, unwavering face.There was a moment of chilling silence, the sound of the dogs barking faintly behind them filling the heavy air.Phantom frowned slightly, as if assessing Elijah from head to toe.The blood-stained singlet on his chest stuck awkwardly to his skin, his muscles tense, the brutal energy he carried unmistakable.Yet before him stood Elijah — unflinching, arms slightly loose at his sides, his expression unreadable, almost casual.Phantom dropped the stick to the ground with a loud thud, wiped his hands slowly on a dirty cloth nearby, and took two slow steps closer, the tension thickening with every move.Phantom stared at Elijah for a long moment before a twisted smile curved on his lips.He opened his arms wide slightly and said in a low, taunting tone,"Elijah Westbrook... welcome."Elijah remained calm, his sharp gaze surveying the room again — the cages, the brutal scene behind Phantom, the men standing like loyal wolves

The scarred man gritted his teeth furiously but stayed in place, glaring at Elijah with burning hatred, breathing heavily as if restraining himself.Elijah stood there, unbothered, a light smirk still on his face. His calmness only made them more unsettled."Tch," Elijah muttered, shifting his weight slightly on his heel, still relaxed. "If this is the best Phantom Reiss has, then maybe I should be disappointed already."The group stiffened hearing Elijah mention Phantom Reiss so casually.One of the rough-looking men stepped forward, pointing a thick finger at Elijah and barking, "How dare you mention boss's name with your filthy mouth?"Another, gripping a rusted pipe in his hand, spat on the ground and said angrily, "Let’s just beat him bloody here and now!" His voice was thick with rage.But immediately, one of the older, slightly smarter men grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly."No! Are you dumb?" he snapped. "Boss said bring him, not break him here. If we mess him u

As Elijah drove further, he suddenly spotted a small open area along the road—a place wide enough to pull off without causing suspicion.Without hesitation, he turned the steering, brought the Prado smoothly to a halt, killed the engine, and stepped out casually, leaving the driver’s door open.The man following him, surprised, immediately slowed down too, stopping a few meters behind, unsure what was happening.From inside his car, he watched Elijah.At first, he thought maybe Elijah was checking something on his car... but when he saw Elijah closing the door slowly and beginning to walk toward him—directly—his heart skipped a beat."Shit," the man muttered under his breath, quickly adjusting himself in the driver’s seat.He frowned hard, panic creeping in."Am I exposed? How? Was he monitoring me the whole time?"He kept his hand ready on the ignition, debating whether to drive off, but Elijah’s calm yet intimidating pace made it clear:Running might make it worse.Elijah's gaze was

“Elijah Westbrook?”“Yes. He just came out of a flower store by East Ridge Avenue, entered a black Prado. He’s with another man—probably a close aide or driver. They’re still parked.”“Good. Stay on him. We'll come there quickly.”The call ended. The man’s fingers moved swiftly over his phone screen, snapping a picture of the car and sending it in a flash.Elijah carefully opened the back door of the Prado and placed the beautifully wrapped bouquet—white and red roses mixed with some fresh lilies—gently onto the back seat. He closed the door quietly and glanced up at the sky; it was already getting darker, with the thick clouds hinting that rain could fall again soon.He checked the time on the car dashboard — 4:30 pm, almost brushing 5 pm. The day had moved faster than he expected.Without wasting time, he got into the driver’s seat, buckled up, and started the engine with a soft hum. Felix, who had been quietly scrolling on his phone, looked up and nodded as Elijah began driving out

Betty glanced at Sierra and suggested, “What about some jewelry? Like a nice chain or bracelet? Might look good on him.”Sierra shook her head gently. “I’ve not really seen Elijah wear those kinds of things. He’s more of the simple and classy type. I think these are enough.”“Alright then,” Betty nodded with a grin. “Still, what you’ve picked is solid.”With that, the two of them continued walking toward the mall’s main payment counter, their hands filled with stylish branded bags and other goods.On the other side of the floor, Sophia had also gathered a few items—less than Sierra but still noticeable. She began walking in the same direction, unaware of who else might be headed there. Her heels clicked lightly as she adjusted her purse and made her way to the counter to process her payment.As Sierra walked forward toward the main counter, her steps slowed slightly. Her eyes locked onto a familiar figure just a few meters ahead which was Sophia“That lady?” she murmured to herself, e

"I know I've wronged you, Elijah," he said, his voice cracking as desperation bled into his tone. "Please… please help me get out of here. I beg you."Elijah didn’t flinch. He held Damian’s gaze, his face unreadable—until, suddenly, he broke into laughter. Cold, mocking laughter that echoed off the walls of the grimy cell block."Help you?" Elijah chuckled, stepping closer. "Damian… why would I save you… from the very place I personally put you in?"Damian’s eyes widened, his lips parting in shock. "W-What? What do you mean… by where you brought me?" he stammered.Elijah’s smile was calm, sharp. "That’s right," he said smoothly. "Everything… every step that led you here—it was all part of my plan. You see, I knew what you were doing. I watched you ruin others, abuse your power, lie, manipulate. You thought nobody saw, didn’t you? But I did. And I waited. Waited till the right moment to crush you under the very weight of your own sins.”Damian stumbled back a step, gripping the bars ti

As they stepped out of the office, Elijah’s eyes caught Felix already standing across the hallway with his arms crossed, waiting alertly.Upon seeing Elijah approach, Felix immediately straightened up.Elijah stopped in front of him. “I’m giving you a task,” he said firmly. “You’ll make sure this whole place—everything inside—is transformed in a week. Hire the best interior designers or whoever you need. Every single material in this station must be replaced. Floors, walls, chairs, desks—everything. It should look brand new and high quality. And if you need more money, let me know.”Felix nodded instantly. “Sure, brother. I’ll do so. You can count on me.”Elijah gave him a quick nod and turned, continuing his walk with Dorson by his side. Felix followed closely behind.They soon reached the side of the building where the other policemen were stationed. The officer who had escorted Elijah earlier was there too. As they saw their superior, Superintendent Dorson, all the policemen stood

As Elijah sat silently, staring at his phone screen while it rang, Superintendent Dorson chuckled mockingly and leaned back in his chair, clearly thinking he had the upper hand.“Now you’re quiet, huh?” Dorson smirked. “Thought so. Must be regretting that chairman story. You young people and your jokes—next thing you’ll say is you own half the city. Don’t worry, I won’t lock you up… yet.”He laughed again, smugly folding his arms. “You looked so confident before, now you look like someone who just realized he’s out of his depth.”Just then, Elijah’s phone screen lit up—Isla had picked up the video call.Her face came into view, seated at her sleek desk, her glasses perched delicately on her nose. Behind her, the Dominion Group’s logo gleamed brightly on the wall.“Yes, Master Elijah?” she said calmly, clearly on speaker as her voice echoed faintly through the phone.Dorson’s laughter froze midsentence. His eyes widened, brows furrowing in confusion as he leaned forward, staring at the

Dorson’s jaw tightened slightly at Elijah’s composed boldness, and the air between them grew heavier.Superintendent Dorson narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what exactly did you come here to discuss?”Elijah leaned back slightly in the chair and replied, “Before we get into that…” He paused and let his eyes drift slowly around the room. His voice was calm, but edged with quiet criticism. “When I walked in here, I saw how bad this place looks. It shouldn’t be this way—for a whole police station, with your name and rank tied to it.”Dorson raised a brow, watching him.Elijah continued, “The paint on the walls is peeling like it hasn’t been touched in years. The hallway smells like damp papers and sweat. I passed broken ceiling tiles, exposed wires near the light switch. Some of your officers looked like they haven’t had new uniforms since 2010. Even the floor tiles in the corridor were cracked. Superintendent, you’re a big man—this shouldn’t be your standard.”Dorson’s face tightened s
