The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 177
Another workday began as the sun was just coming up, bathing Prime Enterprise in a warm glow. There was the usual morning buzz about the office, with people rushing to their desks, phones ringing, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. But tensions were there, simmering beneath the surface, particularly in light of the day before.With the weight of the ongoing investigation bearing down on him, Sebastian arrived early at his office. The previous night, he did not get much sleep because his mind was constantly racing with ideas about the sabotage and what Juan, the IT specialist, had privately revealed to him. Though she had not said much to him, the expression in her eyes told him enough to be very cautious because something was not right.Meanwhile, Beauty was engaged in her usual cunning in another area of the building. Her well-groomed fingers were tapping the glossy surface of her desk as she sat in her office. She would had the ideal chance to advance her plan

There was a lot of tension in the boardroom, and everyone's anxiety was practically exploding in the air. Despite the heavy charge looming over him, Sebastian stood tall and met William Prime's gaze as the police drew nearer to place handcuffs on him.The boardroom door slammed open, creating a loud bang that reverberated throughout the room, just as the officer extended his hand to grasp the icy metal around his wrists. A man wearing a sharply tailored suit stood at the entrance, commanding attention from everyone. The senior board members were immediately impressed by his presence and instantly recognized him by name.The man entered the room with a confident gait and said, "Don Carten, Sebastian's lawyer."The officers exchanged glances and paused before one of them finally spoke. "Mr. Carten, we are currently carrying out an arrest. You can raise your concerns at the station if you have any."Don Carten, though, remained unmoved. His gaze narrowed as he concentrated on the lead o

A low murmur of disbelief and unease filled the boardroom as the senior members attempted to make sense of what they had just seen. They were all taken aback by the revelation, struggling to accept that dishonesty and treachery had rocked the foundation of their business. Pale and uncertain faces replaced those that had once exuded confidence and authority. Unable to look their peers in the eye, a few of them lowered their eyes in shame.William Prime did not move as he tried to piece together the meaning of what they had just witnessed. The conspiracy's depth was astounding, and it was painful to realize that it had occurred right in front of them. The only indication that something was wrong inside him was the faint tapping of his fingers on the table.With a relaxed posture and alert eyes, Sebastian stood silently and observed the reactions taking place in the room. Though he had known this moment would arrive, he had still not quite prepared for the sight of it. As Don Carten had

"Yes," Daniel frantically nodded, his terrified eyes wide. "She... she instructed me to sabotage the paperwork and make sure the president was held accountable for everything. The entire situation, including the arrest, was orchestrated by her. I was just following her orders."Everyone in the room was left speechless as the shock of Daniel's confession descended upon them. Now that the truth was known, there were more questions than answers. What was the extent of Ms. Beauty's influence? And now that her part in this plot was known, what would happen?The officer turned to William Prime with a serious expression, having almost arrested Sebastian. "Ms. Beauty needs to be brought in so we can question her." His tone made it impossible to argue with what he said.With his thoughts still spinning from the revelation, William nodded slowly. "Yes, without a doubt," he said in a quiet voice. "Do what you have to do."Abigail was signaled by the officer to call Ms. Beauty to the boardroom, b

She quickly gathered herself and put on a cool, indifferent face to hide her fear. She was shaken, but she would not show it to anyone. She just needed to maintain her composure and deny everything in order to continue controlling the story, regardless of what had happened.With a voice as icy as the board members' glares, the officer who had spoken to Abigail earlier called her outright, "Ms. Beauty." "Please have a seat."After a brief moment of hesitation, Ms. Beauty nodded and moved elegantly to the designated chair. Her thoughts whirled with potential ways to make the situation work in her favor as she forced a smile as she sat down.Her tone was light as she asked, "What is going on?" as though it were a simple question.The officer did not provide an immediate response. Rather, he grabbed the tabletop remote control and hit a button. The identical video footage that had just been shown for the board was displayed on the big flat-screen TV that was mounted on the wall, a sight t

The senior board members, who had been closely observing the interaction, started whispering to each other as a result of Ms. Beauty's composed manner. As silent discussions and nods of agreement filled the room, their doubts about Daniel's charges intensified.Mr. Harrigton, a senior member known for his pragmatism and composure, cleared his throat and raised his hand. "Let us examine the available facts," he said in a composed yet commanding tone. "Ms. Beauty has worked for this organization for a long time. She has consistently acted with integrity and professionalism. This is a desperate man attempting to pull himself up by bringing others down with him. This is not uncommon in situations like these."Nodding in agreement was Mrs. Turner, another board member, who was noted for her keen intellect and meticulous nature. She confidently stated, "I have worked with Ms. Beauty on numerous projects." "She has consistently been open, honest, and thorough. Given her past, it is difficu

When Abigail turned to head out the door, she saw Don Carten standing there, staring at her. His customary detached demeanor had vanished, giving way to a subdued worry that Abigail had never noticed before.He stopped her in her tracks and called out, "Abigail." She faced him, preparing herself for the inevitable conversation she could feel coming."Don," she said, attempting to sound impartial even though she could feel her discomfort. With deliberate steps, he walked toward her, his eyes narrowing slightly as he studied her expression. His voice was low enough to keep their conversation private as he questioned, "What did you make of all that?"Reluctant to speak to Don, Abigail was not unsure of her ideas; rather, it was because she was not comfortable expressing them. "It was unexpected," she finally replied, carefully selecting her words. "I am still not convinced Daniel acted alone, even though his actions were reckless."Don nodded, obviously interested. "And, Ms. Beauty? Do

The Prime estate, with its expansive grounds tucked away among immaculate gardens, emanated a sense of classic elegance. Long shadows were cast over the grand halls of the mansion as the day turned into the evening thanks to its large windows capturing the last of the sunlight. There, Sebastian and William Prime sat in the grand living room with its walls covered in priceless artwork and the enticing smell of old wood. With a thoughtful expression, William swirled the amber liquid in his glass of bourbon. "Sebastian," he said in a measured tone, "this whole thing with Daniel, it does not make sense." Daniel was not able to plan something this complex on his own, as we both know.”With a focused expression on his face, Sebastian nodded. With all of the day's stress bearing down on him, he reclined in his seat. "I concur. Even though Daniel was never very careful, something feels off about this. As if he were being manipulated or pushed into a corner."As William took a sip of his bev

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
