The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 190
Jude walked quickly down Prime Enterprise's lengthy hallway, leaving an empty trail behind him. The worried look on his face vanished as soon as he was out of sight, to be replaced by a cunning, content smile. As he got closer to the isolated, poorly lit parking lot where a sleek black car was waiting for him, he reached into his pocket and took out his phone, typing a brief message.Jude managed to get a glimpse of Ms. Beauty's calculating and piercing eyes as the car window rolled down slightly. Leaning back in her seat, she read Jude's message, her face lit softly by the interior car lights.Her tone was tinged with icy humor as she inquired, "So, how did it go?"Jude put his phone back in his pocket with a sly smile. "Exactly as we had hoped, Miss Beauty. The board is completely disorganized, and the investors were incensed. They do not know what hit them."Beauty smiled sinisterly, her lips curling. "Well done. Very good. I knew that their panic would keep them from asking you al

In his office, Sebastian paced back and forth in, the weight of the situation pressing down on his shoulders. He was aware of the growing pressure and that each minute they continued to ask questions, the possibility of catastrophe increased. He inhaled deeply before picking up the phone and contacting Anthony.On the second ring, Anthony picked up the phone, sounding alert and vigorous. "Yes, boss, what is the update?"With a hint of annoyance in his voice, Sebastian said, "We are hitting a dead end here." "A delivery man appears in some video, but it is too grainy to positively identify him. I need you and your team to look into it. See if you can improve it or find anything we may have overlooked."Anthony did not hesitate. "Okay, boss, send it over. We will start working on it immediately.”Sebastian knew that Anthony was the one who could find the truth, so he uploaded the video and sent it over a secure line. He ended the call and went to the big window that overlooked the city.

Anthony poured over files, scanned documents, and went over every detail they had regarding the indistinct figure from the video footage for the remainder of the night. His hands were typing methodically on the keyboard, his eyes bloodshot, his mind racing with urgency. The video remained visible on the main screen, albeit grainy and incredibly confusing. His group had improved it somewhat, but not enough to offer a clear identification.He muttered under his breath, "Come on... come on," as he flipped between databases, cross-referencing the security personnel details, employee records, and contractor lists with the video footage. After a brief pause, he brought up the profile of Jacob Ben, a name that had surfaced a few times during their search but had not yet caught his attention. . His online profile portrayed him as a tall, slender man with an unremarkable face who would fit right in with any crowd. Anthony fixed his gaze on the picture, then the video again, mentally compari

Beauty closed her office door and pulled the phone up to her ear to carry on her conversation with the unidentified caller. She returned to her desk and spoke in a tone that was both cool and shrewd."Yeah, the foundation is being established," she said, her voice somewhat acerbic. "I have been spreading the word that Sebastian might resign as a result of pressure from the board. Already, senior executives are talking about it. As some people are already beginning to lose it, that is precisely what we require."As she said, "Good, good," there was a slight laugh on the other end of the line. What we want is panic. We need them perplexed and anxious. It will weaken Sebastian’s support within the company."Beauty smirked, relishing the prospect of the chaos she was unleashing. "Precisely. However, I need Jude to delve deeper. I require more leverage. The more dirt we get on Sebastian, the easier it will be to push him out.The phone voice lowered conspiratorially, "Jude has proven to be

In his office, Anthony paced back and forth while a paused video still played on the screen in front of him. His gaze lingered on the image, a hazy figure captured on security footage from Prime Enterprises' parking. After days of work by his investigative team, he was finally able to make out a unique tattoo on the subject's left wrist. The design was straightforward but striking, featuring a snake encircling a dagger. Anthony was aware that he had previously seen that tattoo, but where?A faint knock distracted him from his thoughts. "Come in," he called out, his gaze still focused on the screen. A junior investigator, Mike, entered the room, holding a tablet."Sir, I believe we have made progress in identifying the person in the video," Mike said in a steady voice. “I ran a search on tattoos with that design, the snake and the dagger. It’s pretty unique, and it led us straight to Jacob Ben.”Anthony's expression changed from one of curiosity to triumph as his head snapped up. He

Sitting at her desk, Abigail pretended to be focused on her work, but her thoughts were elsewhere in the room. Jude had been acting strangely for weeks now, and she was becoming more and more convinced every day that he had ulterior motives. Everything suggested that he was not just a disgruntled worker spreading untrue rumors about Sebastian, including the whispers, sidelong glances, and suspicious absences. She had overheard enough of Jude's chats to know that he was planting doubt in the minds of the junior staff, whispering with a thoughtless smile that concealed something far darker about the president's imminent resignation. Still, she required evidence, something tangible that would link him to the forces opposing Sebastian, in spite of everything she had observed. She remained at a distance, waiting for him to make a mistake, and biding her time.Her gaze strayed to Jude as he emerged from the staff lounge, a sly smile hanging over his features. She observed him walking dow

Abigail's gaze never left Jude while he faltered to stabilize himself. What had been his usual arrogant manner had given way to a twitchy nervousness. She could almost see the gears in his head turning as they frantically tried to figure out how to get out of this situation.Jude finally said, his voice strangely calm, "Jacob Ben is just a friend." "We have a very long history together. Nothing more or less than that."Abigail's eyebrow went up. "Do you mean a friend?" She moved a step closer, her voice hinting at suspicion. "So why were you talking about documents? And why did you seem to be so concerned about them?"Jude answered after a brief moment of hesitation, "Oh, that. Nothing major, just some private matters to attend to. I am getting some help from Jacob with some legal paperwork. There is no connection between the president or the Enterprise."Unconvinced, Abigail crossed her arms. "Legal paperwork?" she repeated in a doubtful tone. "You mentioned something about forged do

Jude's arm was more tightly held by Abigail as they moved in the direction of the president's office. Jude's face reddened, and he walked with hesitation and weight, as if every step could be his last. Through her firm grasp, Abigail felt the tremor in his body; she knew he was scared, but she also knew he had no other option. When they got to Sebastian's office door, she pushed it open without thinking.Sebastian was sitting behind his desk inside, papers all over him, and his eyes locked onto Abigail. His expression changed to one of firm authority when he noticed Jude being practically dragged into the room, but his eyes were still filled with curiosity and concern."Abigail," Sebastian commanded in a calm voice, "What is going on?"Abigail did not take long to act. "Mr. President," she started, "I found Jude in possession of this folder, which contains fake documents intended to cast doubt on you. He claims he had no idea what was inside and was simply following orders from Ms. B

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
