Sebastian sat in his office, his gaze fixed on the horizon. Today was the day, the day his father's ultimatum expired.His mind was calm and gentle, even when the stakes had never been high
“Hey, I heard Me Prime and Mrs Prime are back.”“Of course they should, what were you expecting? The Prime Enterprise anniversary is a few hours from now.”“There have been so many happenings in the company, I hope the anniversary ceremony delivers.”The rumors and gossip by the employees within the Enterprise that morning was second to none. Well, a better way to make a place lively, it's through discussion.The next few hours were a whirlwind of activity. Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime worked tirelessly, finalizing their preparations. They gathered additional evidence, ensuring that every piece of the puzzle was in place. The Deal team intensified their surveillance on Sarah, monitoring her communications and movements with precision.As the anniversary celebration approached, the tension within Prime Enterprises was palpable. Even when the employees sensed that something significant was about to happen, only a select few knew the full extent of the plan.A few hours to the
As the event progressed, Mr. Prime took the stage to deliver his speech. Ignoring what had just transpired in the ceremony, he spoke about the company's achievements and the bright future ahead. The audience listened intently, unaware of the storm brewing beneath the surface."And now," Mr. Prime continued, "I'd like to invite my son, Sebastian, to say a few words."Sebastian stepped onto the stage, the weight of the moment pressing down on him. He glanced at his father, who gave him a reassuring nod."Ladies and gentlemen," Sebastian began, his voice steady. "Today we celebrate the success of Prime Enterprises. But as we look to the future, we must also address the challenges we face."He paused, scanning the audience. Sarah watched him, her expression unreadable.The guests were awaiting the explanation of the Enterprise, if what had just been said about them were true."Over the past few months, we've experienced a series of disruptions and resignations within our company, yes, th
A few weeks had passed since the dramatic unmasking of Sarah Lawson at the Prime Enterprises celebration. The company was still buzzing with the aftermath of the revelations, but the resilience and determination of its leaders had managed to restore confidence among employees and stakeholders. Sebastian had been relentless in his pursuit of the truth, working closely with the Deal team and other trusted members of the company. The investigation into potential conspirators continued, and the atmosphere within the company was one of cautious optimism.

“Abigail, contact Richard concerning the funds he invested. Let him know that we are aware they were fake,” Sebastian instructed.Abigail nodded and dialed Richard’s number again, her hand trembling slightly. The phone rang once, twice, then Richard’s voice came on the line.“Mr. Armitage, this is Abigail Nelson from Prime Enterprises.” She began, her tone steady but firm. “We’ve conducted a thorough investigation and discovered that the investment you made was fake. We need to discuss this immediately.”There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Richard responded, his voice filled with indignation. “How dare you accuse me of such a thing? My investment was legitimate, and I have the documentation to prove it. If you continue to slander my name, I will have the President of Prime Enterprises arrested for defamation.”Abigail’s heart pounded as she listened to Richard’s threats. She knew they were treading dangerous waters, but the truth needed to be exposed. She end
“These accusations are baseless,” Richard said, looking directly into the camera. “My investment was legitimate, and I have the documentation to prove it. Prime Enterprises is trying to cover up their own financial mismanagement by scapegoating me. I will not stand for this defamation, and I will take legal action if necessary.”Watching the interview, Sebastian clenched his fists. “He’s playing the victim,” he said, anger simmering in his voice. “We need to expose him before he does more damage.”Richard Armitage continued to deny all allegations. In a televised interview two days after the funds were returned to him, he appeared calm and composed, his voice dripping with indignation.Sebastian had actually wanted meeting with Richard about the fake investment funds alert, but there he is sitting and denying everything in television.Sebastian turned off the TV, feeling a knot of frustration tightening in his chest. As the screen went dark, the office's silence was broken by the ince
Sebastian’s heart pounded as he left the boardroom, the weight of the investors’ anxieties and demands heavy on his shoulders. The hallway seemed longer than usual, each step echoing in the silence. He headed towards his office, where he hoped to find a moment of respite and a strategy to counteract the chaos Richard Armitage had unleashed.Meanwhile, across town, Richard Armitage sat in his luxurious penthouse, a smug smile spreading across his face. He reclined in his leather chair, a glass of vintage whiskey in his hand, watching the rerun of his interview on a massive flat-screen TV. The satisfaction of seeing Sebastian struggle was palpable.“You see that, Gray? The whole company is on the brink of collapse,” Richard said, raising his glass in a mock toast. “Sebastian thought he could corner me, but he had no idea who he was dealing with.”Gray Shelf, a shadowy figure with a sharp gaze, leaned against the wall, his face partially obscured by the dim light. “Sebastian has always
As the press conference wrapped up, Sebastian felt a small measure of relief. His words had been measured, his tone resolute, but he knew that the real battle was just beginning. Abigail remained by his side as they left the conference room, her presence a steadying force. Sebastian said, his voice low. "We can't let Richard and Gray think they have the upper hand.""I've already arranged for our best surveillance team to follow Richard. They'll track his every move without him knowing." Abigail said.Sebastian paused, considering the gravity of the situation. "Good. Make sure they stay hidden. We can't afford any mistakes."Across town, Richard Armitage leaned back in his chair at the high-end restaurant, savoring his steak. The establishment was a discreet haven for the wealthy, where privacy was a given and the staff was trained to turn a blind eye.Gray Shelf sat across from him, his demeanor as shadowy as ever. "Sebastian's press conference was impressive," Gray remarked, his e
