After speaking with William, Abigail was more determined than ever. Every step she took was no longer met with the chilling grip of fear. She finally had a strong ally who could handle whatever came her way.

As she arrived at her office, her phone buzzed and she recognized the name on the screen even though it was an unknown number.She answered after a brief moment of hesitation, her voice firm against the anxiety that tried to seep in.

"What is it that you want?!”

The blackmailer's voice was cold, calculated, and threatening. "You did not speak to the press, Abigail. You ignored my demand to expose Sebastian. Unwise decision."

Abigail clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white as she struggled to maintain her voice. "I am done with your games! It will not work anymore, no matter how hard you try to frighten me."

There was a deep laugh coming from the other end of the line. "You believe that you are safe because William Prime is on your side, right? Abigail, I have your secrets. I

    Seated in the Prime family mansion's office, Sebastian's attention was fixed on the developing situation, and his mind was constantly buzzing with ideas. He was aware that they were almost done finding the blackmailer, and the excitement was eating away at him like a vicious beast.Just as Sebastian's thoughts began to drift toward the next steps, he was drawn to the sound of approaching footsteps. With a determined yet urgent expression, he looked up as Anthony walked into the room. Anthony walked up to the desk with a thick manila folder in his hands, not waiting for an invitation.Anthony spoke quietly but firmly, "Boss, I have what we need."Sebastian sat up straight, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the folder. "Are you certain?" His tone was measured as he asked, showing no signs of internal impatience.Anthony firmly nodded. "I have evidence to support my claim that Abigail is being blackmailed by Jonathan Page, our HR director. After some time, everything came together.”H

    “Mr President? Mr. Vice? What is the issue, you summoned for a meeting this late.” One of the senior members said.Sebastian then made a gesture for them to be seated, as he did not want William Prime to be interrupted.William stood up slowly and deliberately, pocketing the flash drive. "You will be given a choice, Ms. Page," he said, his voice full of finality. "Resign quietly and this will remain between us. Or refuse, and I will make sure that every piece of evidence we have becomes public. The authorities will get involved, and your career, everything you have worked for, will be destroyed.“Ms. Page? What is going on here.” Another member whispered, looking lost.“I am lost myself, I do not know.” Another senior member responded.As the realization of the situation set in, Page's hands trembled and she clutched the chair's armrests. William Prime was not bluffing, as far as she knew. She would be wrecked if the evidence was made public. Accepting the deal, leaving in silence, a

    Page's words lingered in the air, and Sebastian felt a cold knot form in his stomach. The room's mood had changed from one of shock to one of intense curiosity, and even fear. Who could have been the person who so skillfully manipulated Page?Senior members looked at each other, whispers growing as they attempted to piece together the information that had just been disclosed.As Ms. Page wiped the tears that were pouring down her face, her hands trembled. Her once commanding and powerful voice had become little more than a whisper. "The money was not the only factor... It was the assurance of status and power. He made me an offer to become Vice President of Prime Enterprises and a big sum of money.""Page, you were willing to betray everything, to take my place, and to push my nephew away as the president of this enterprise?" William Prime said slowly, his voice heavy with disappointment. What is it all for? Money? Power?”"What is his name?" Demanding in a frustrated tone, Mr. Foste

    Ms. Page arrived at Prime Enterprises earlier than usual, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and resignation. The morning air was still crisp when she entered the towering structure, but she did not notice. The weight of her decisions and the consequences she knew would follow made every step she took toward her office feel heavier.Workers who had greeted her with respect a moment earlier avoided making eye contact as she walked down the hallway, their whispers barely audible. Her once-dominant presence had diminished to the level of mere office gossip, and she could feel the change in the air. She could not do anything to stop the humiliation that burned inside of her. Now that her bed was made, she was forced to lie in it.Upon arriving at her office, Ms. Page paused at the entrance. It felt like a tomb, this once-inviting room filled with awards and mementos of her accomplishments. The smell of leather and polished wood welcomed her for the final time as she pushed the door

    When Abigail saw the messages, her brow furrowed. "Do you think we will discover anything?""We have to try," Sebastian said, "but I do not know." Whoever this "Alexander Kent" is, I will not allow him to get away with what he is done because he is dangerous.With a fresh sense of resolve, Abigail nodded. "Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help."After glancing at her briefly, Sebastian nodded. "Yes, I will. But I have to concentrate on this for now. Thank you for coming to speak with me, Abigail."She smiled slightly, grateful for his understanding. "Of course, my President. And thank you for accepting my apologies.”Sebastian called Anthony as soon as Abigail left the office, his mind buzzing with all the possible outcomes. When Anthony picked up, Sebastian wasted no time."Anthony, I have something for you to look into. Ms. Page provided me with a name and a number."He spoke quickly to Anthony, who was listening carefully on the other end."Alexander Kent?" Antho

    Sebastian stared at the phone, trying to wrap his mind around what was going on. His thoughts were consumed by the name "Alexander Kent," which hovered like a black cloud over the investigation. Even though he appeared calm, something inside of him blazed with a desire to find out. He took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and purposefully moved his fingers to dial Anthony's number.After a few ringing rings, Anthony's well-known voice finally emerged, steady but with the weariness of someone who has been working nonstop."Boss, I am still looking, but 'Alexander Kent' is proving difficult to track down. Every lead I follow either leads nowhere or back to vague, untraceable sources. "It is as if this name was designed to lead us astray.As he listened, Sebastian's jaw tightened. "Do not give up, Anthony. Whoever 'Alexander Kent' is, he is not a ghost. He exists, and pursuing Prime Enterprises was a huge mistake. We must expose him in any way possible.""I understand, sir," Anthony

    Beauty Carter was deep in thought, still reeling from the conversation that had just ended, when her office phone rang again, breaking the tense silence. The tone demanded attention; it was sharp. She hesitated a moment before taking up the phone, the calmness of her voice belying the raging storm within."Ms. Carter," the executive secretary's clipped voice uttered. "You are required in the boardroom for a senior management meeting. Please make your way there right away."Beauty felt her heart skip a beat. A meeting with senior management? She was not usually summoned to such high-level gatherings. Something was not right. She swallowed her discomfort and said, "I will be right there," before hanging up.She straightened her skirt and adjusted her suit jacket as she stood there, attempting to hide the chaos inside of her. Her mind raced as she headed toward the boardroom. Could this have anything to do with her recent choice? The timing did not seem quite right. As she neared the

    In the office, Beauty reached for her phone, her hand steady even though she was running on adrenaline. She had been meaning to make this call for a while.Her fingers trembled as she dialed the unknown number from earlier. She had no doubts or hesitations now that she had gained power. The phone rang twice before the same icy voice answered."Yes?" There was something dangerous in the deep, masculine voice.Beauty leaned forward, a smile curling her lips as her voice was full of contentment. "There has been a recent development," she stated in a smooth voice. "I have been named Prime Enterprises' new HR Manager."After a moment of silence, the man on the other end chuckled softly. He exclaimed, "Well done, Beauty," with a tone of approval. "You have surpassed what I expected. I knew you were capable, but this is really amazing."Beauty was revealed in the compliments, and her confidence soared. "Thank you," she responded. "This is only the beginning."

    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
