The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 146
Warm light filled the room as the morning sun streamed through the courthouse windows. Everyone was waiting anxiously to see how the trial would proceed. With an incomprehensible expression, Sebastian sat at the defense table, his thoughts racing. William and Abigail huddled next to him, going over their notes in preparation for the struggle to come.At the head of his legal team, Senior Nike walked confidently into the courtroom. With a determined expression on his face, he took a seat. The court was called to order by the woman judge, who had a sharp appearance and piercing eyes. She spoke loudly enough to be heard throughout the room, "Court is now in session. We will carry on with the Prime Enterprise 2 case. Senior Nike, feel free to provide your proof.”Senior Nike stood with an old document bundle in his hands. With purposeful steps, he made his way to the front of the courtroom. "Your Honor, these records will conclusively demonstrate my ownership of Prime Enterprise 2."The

Concerning the document Sebastian had provided to the judge, Senior Nike's mind was full of inquiries. He had a persistent feeling that something was wrong.After stepping outside, Senior Nike took out his phone and dialed a number, his fingers shaking a little. When the call came through, he spoke harshly, "Did you destroy the document you stole from Prime Enterprise?"The firm yet composed voice snapped through the receiver. Indeed, sir. I made sure the old man did, there was nothing left. He destroyed everything with fire."Senior Nike narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. What then was given to the judge by Sebastian? Nothing ought to have been available for him to use."Could it be that he had a backup plan? With an uncertain tone, the voice from the phone made a suggestion.Senior Nike's hand gripped his phone more tightly. "If he had a backup, why wait until now to reveal it? No, there is more to this than meets the eye. I want you to see what that document was and how he ob

As the judge's final words echoed throughout the courtroom, Sebastian smiled faintly. There was a long moment of silence, in which some felt crushed by defeat and others revealed in victory.William Prime gave himself a rare, wide smile and patted Sebastian on the back as Abigail's hand went to her mouth to hold back a cry of relief."You succeeded, Sebastian, my darling nephew!" With a trembling voice full of pride, William said. "You saved Prime Enterprise 2."With his lips slightly lifted, Sebastian met his uncle's eyes. I was not the only one, uncle. This involved all of us in some way."But even as they looked at each other in relief, the seriousness of the battle they had fought made their victory feel a little less dramatic. It had been a costly victory for him.Abigail was unable to contain herself any longer. She smiled and was happy all around. Mr. President, you are a man of miracles. I can not believe how close it was, even though I knew you would succeed."After giving h

Sebastian and Prime Enterprise felt a sense of accomplishment and renewal in the days following their court victory.The energy in the office was palpable; the once tense hallways were now alive with laughter, excitement, and a fresh sense of direction.Admiration was directed toward Sebastian, the ever-calm leader. Workers who had regarded his leadership with suspicion before now regarded him almost reverently. Sebastian took a moment to sit back in his chair and reflect during the morning hours. The light from the large glass windows in his office brought back memories of the courtroom, the significance of the judge's remarks, and the wave of relief that followed. They were at last on firm ground, but it had been a difficult battle. He was distracted from his thoughts by a knock on the door. "Come in.” Sitting up straight, he called as Abigail came in holding a file. Her smile remained warm despite the slight shadowing of her normally bright eyes.She said, her voice full of play

Abigail's fingers quivered as she gripped her buzzing phone and looked in shock at the message. She felt the words on the screen piercing her thoughts as they glared back at her."Accuse Sebastian of harassing you sexually. Do it, or everything comes crashing down!"As she read the message again, her breath caught, hoping that she had misinterpreted. However, there was no escaping the truth. This threat's source was aware of her embezzlement and was cunning enough to take advantage of it.Abigail's mind was racing. Her office's low light created long shadows that mirrored the chaos inside of her. Her knuckles whitened as she grasped the edge of her desk. How could she even consider such a thing? She had received nothing but kindness and encouragement from Sebastian. She felt her stomach turn at the mere notion of betraying him.She shook her head and whispered, "No," as though saying it aloud would make it true. She was startled when the phone buzzed once more, her heart thumping her

Tears streaked her vision as she read the directions. They had even got the lie ready for her. If she simply signed it, Sebastian's life and career would be irreparably damaged.What option did she have, though? Her past would be exposed for everyone to see if she disobeyed. Everything would be lost for her: her freedom, her reputation, and her work. If she did this, though, could she live with herself?***Abigail followed instructions and showed up early at the office the following morning. She avoided making eye contact with everyone she passed and moved through the building like a ghost. With each step, her heart felt like a lead weight in her chest, weighing her down.Her hand trembled so badly as she got to HR that she had to brace herself against the wall before she could even get to the door handle. Once again, she hesitated as the room beyond was excessively silent. However, her phone began to buzz in her pocket. The reminder.She forced open the door after taking a deep bre

The HR manager nodded, shutting the document and looking directly at him once more. "Mr. President, I understand that this is challenging, but we must adhere to protocol. You might be asked to temporarily resign until the issue is resolved while an investigation is underway.As Sebastian tried to take in what he was hearing, his mouth moved back and forth. This was ridiculous. There had never been anything even slightly improper between him and Abigail, they had always maintained a professional relationship. Why would she make such a statement?"I would like to talk to her. Can I?" With a rough voice, he asked.The manager of HR shook her head. Mr. President, I am afraid that would not be appropriate. This is something we have to tackle by the book. I advise you to fully assist with the investigation. If you are innocent, the facts will be revealed.Sebastian did not even hear her. His thoughts were racing, going over every conversation he would ever had with Abigail in an attempt to

‘I can not believe this is happening to me.’Sebastian’s eyes were fixed on the ceiling of his office, the faint hum of the air conditioning doing little to calm the storm in his mind. The ticking of the wall clock had become louder, a rhythmic reminder of the time slipping away, each second a ticking bomb. As he prepared to step aside from his position temporarily, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something was terribly wrong. Abigail's sudden betrayal felt out of character, too orchestrated to be a simple act of malice. There had to be more to this, he was sure of it.He pushed himself up from his chair, his body heavy with the weight of uncertainty. Grabbing his phone, he paced the length of his office, his fingers hovering over Abigail’s contact. He had already left a voicemail, yet the silence “She’s hiding something.” He muttered under his breath. The conviction in his voice was laced with desperation. He needed answers, but more importantly, he needed to know what w

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
