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

    “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

    Sebastian felt the gravity of the situation as Abigail's urgent words echoed in his mind. Richard was trying to flee. This couldn't happen. They had to act now."Abigail, place a call to Richard," Sebastian ordered, his voice sharp and decisive. "We need to stop him before he escapes."Abigail, who was actually looking frustrated about Richard fleeing, quickly dialed Richard's number, her fingers moving with practiced efficiency. The phone rang twice before Richard's smug voice answered. "Richard Armitage.""Richard, it is Abigail Nelson from Prime Enterprises." Abigail said, her tone icy. "We know what you're planning, and it ends now."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Sebastian could almost see Richard's smirk fading."I don't know what you're talking about, Abigail," Richard replied, trying to maintain his composure."Cut the crap, Richard!" Sebastian interjected, grabbing the phone from Abigail. "We have enough evidence to bury you. We know about the fake inve

    The day that followed was a whirlwind of activity. Sebastian had mobilized every resource available to locate Gray Shelf and uncover the mole within Prime Enterprises. The stakes were high, and failure was not an option.In the dimly lit surveillance room, the Deal team worked tirelessly, sifting through hours of footage and mountains of data. Their goal was to find any trace of Gray Shelf and to identify the person within the company leaking information."Abigail," Sebastian said, entering her room with an air of determination. "Any progress?" Abigail looked up from her screen, her eyes tired but resolute. “I think I have narrowed it down to a few suspects. There's been some unusual activity in their communications."Sebastian, while looking at the screen, studied the data on the screen. "Who are our prime suspects?""Three employees stand out," Abigail replied. "Paul Jenkins, Laura Miles, and Anthony Walker. They've all had contact with external sources that are suspicious.""Focus

    “Finally, it is done. Back to how it was.” Sebastian walked briskly down the marble corridors of Prime Enterprises, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The recent events had taken a toll on him, and the weight of his responsibilities felt heavier than ever.However, there was a sense of satisfaction, knowing that the mole had been caught and that the investors' faith had been somewhat restored.Abigail was eager to get home after the press conference. “Mr President, I wish to run along now.”“That is okay Abigail.” Sebastian replied looking happy. “We will see tomorrow then. Thank you so much.”And off she went. Sebatian was left with just his uncle as they were about to go home too."Uncle William, thank you for your support today," Sebastian said as they exited the building and headed to the car waiting for them.William Prime, a towering figure with an air of authority, clapped his nephew on the back. "You have done well, Sebastian. Handling the investors and unmasking the traitor, i

    As Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime left Prime Enterprise and entered the government building that housed the Director General's office, the tension was evident. The imposing tower served as a stark reminder of the power housed within. But they were all unwavering in their determination. There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

    After hanging up the phone with Anthony, Sebastian sat still in his chair for a while, his thoughts racing with incredulity and frustration. Although there was a lot of tension in his office, he did not waste any time moping. He got up from his chair, grabbed his office phone, and called William Prime's extension. "Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure. Abigail trailed closely behind, her face displaying a mix of interest and anxiety. Although he was still standing and pacing close to his desk, Sebastian motioned for them to sit down. "I just got off the phone with Anthony," he said, his voice tight. "He told me that the

    As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply. Romy smiled with a mix of surprise and delight, and Cindy's face brightened as she clapped her hands together."We are leaving this place," Cindy declared, her vo

    Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw

    In her office, Angelina’s phone rang. She picked it up immediately, recognizing her cousin’s number.“It’s done,” the Director General said in a low voice. “The commissioner has agreed to submit a request for bail, though it’s far from certain that the court will approve it.”A wave of relief washed over Angelina, but she knew better than to celebrate prematurely. “Thank you, cousin. I know this wasn’t easy.”“Just remember, Angelina,” he warned, “this could backfire on both of us. If the Nikes don’t show up for even a single hearing, we’ll be implicated in their escape, and the fallout will be devastating.”She nodded, though he couldn’t see her. “I understand. I’ll make sure they know the gravity of the situation. They won’t risk it.”As she hung up, Angelina sat back, her mind racing with the next steps. She was painfully aware of how high the stakes had risen, but she was determined to see this through. She dialed the Nikes, instructing them to be prepared for the bail hearing and

    Angelina paced in her office, her mind spinning with possibilities. She knew the stakes were sky-high, and any chance she had to protect the Nikes was slipping away. Her only option now was to secure a bail for them, if only to keep their case out of the public eye for a little longer. Taking a deep breath, she dialed her cousin, the Director General, her fingers tightening around the phone as it rang.He answered after a few rings, his voice as calm and steady as ever. “Angelina, what is it now?”“Cousin,” she began, her voice steady but with an underlying urgency, “I need you to do something else for me. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please consider it.”He paused, as if bracing himself. “Go on.”“I need you to arrange bail for the Nike family,” she said, every word carefully measured. “If they’re kept in custody, their reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. Their businesses, their livelihoods, will crumble before they’ve even had a chance to defend themselves.”The Director Ge

    Greene and his group charged into Gray's hiding place, braced for battle, their movements coordinated and soundless as they broke through the door and spread out. There was a strange stillness in the air, like the calm after a storm, and the room was oppressively dimly lit. They moved quickly, checking corners, staying vigilant, and keeping their weapons at the ready, but with every second that went by, the team felt more and more uneasy. Greene quickly realized that Gray was not present.Greene straightened, his jaw clenched in frustration as he looked around. He had thought Gray would be in the shadows, huddled in a corner, about to run. Rather, the space was lifeless, frigid, and empty, as though Gray had departed long before they did. Some papers were strewn about, a chair was overturned, and there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, all evidence of hurried packing. He had definitely been here recently, but he had left before they could apprehend him.Greene took out his phon

    Gray's pulse accelerated as he gazed at his phone, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white. He was taken aback by his private investigator's news, and a cold shiver went down his spine. He had been hoping for positive news, perhaps even proof that his adversaries were losing sight of him. Rather, it was a shock to learn that Elliot had given the special unit team a lead."Are you sure about this?" Gray demanded, attempting to maintain composure in spite of his growing panic. "To what extent do they know?"In order to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the investigator's voice was tense. "From what we can tell, sir, they are getting closer to where you are. Elliot's tip appears to be specific enough to give them a ballpark estimate of your location. The team has already mobilized and is probably currently on their way. There is not much time for you."Gray's thoughts were racing as he weighed his options, and his eyes were darting around the room. His hiding

    As the day went on, Greene walked around the dark precinct office, reviewing all of the things he had said to Eliot. Despite his natural tendency to exercise caution, Greene was aware that Eliot's assistance might be crucial to destroying Gray ShelfHe looked down at the screen as the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. An unknown number. Greene answered, bracing himself as his heart began to race a bit."This is Detective Greene," he stated firmly."Detective," Eliot replied, maintaining the same guarded tone as before. "I have given it some thought. If you want my assistance with Gray, I have some conditions."Greene gripped the phone with clenched fingers. "Go ahead."After a brief silence, Eliot spoke again in a composed yet firm tone. "First and foremost, I do not want my name on any arrest lists. When this is finished, I will walk away clean. No trials or handcuffs. Second, I need to be compensated. A million dollars should be enough to cover the costs of risking my life. Fina
