Sebastian turned to face William Prime and Abigail, his eyes flashing with a steely determination. With a determined tone, he declared, "Jacob Ben is next." "We can not let him get away from us."William Prime gave a nod of approval. "Agreed. He shares, if not more, the blame for this conspiracy than does Jude. We can not afford to put things off."Still reeling from the revelations, Abigail inhaled deeply and regained her composure. "We need to get moving quickly before he finds out what happened right now. Jacob Ben might already be planning his getaway if he senses Jude's confession."Sebastian took out his phone and dialed the security team number. His tone was icy and authoritative. "Ensure that the authorities are informed regarding Jacob Ben. I want an arrest warrant for him to be issued right away. Forward a team to his home.

Sebastian closed the boardroom door behind him, and a palpable tension filled the room. He was already planning ahead, his thoughts racing through his head. Jacob. Though Ben had escaped their grasp, his freedom would not last long. Sebastian took out his phone as soon as he got to his office, this time to call the police."Captain Ben," Sebastian said quickly as the line connected. "I want to devote every available resource to finding Jacob Ben. We have confirmed that he has fled the country, but I need to coordinate with Interpol to ensure that he does not travel far.""Understood, Mr. Prime," Captain Ben replied. "I will have my team start the process right away. We will also send out a public alert in case anyone spots him. However, with him out of the country, it could take some time."Time is the only thing we do not have," Sebastian said, his voice tightening with frustration. "We can not let him get away. Whatever it takes, I want him to come back to this country and face the
Sebastian was standing in front of his office's full-length mirror, adjusting the cufflinks on his immaculate white shirt. Minutes passed, and the soft chatter of reporters outside the building grew louder. He needed to stay cool, collected, and tactical because the press conference was about to happen. Sebastian knew that this would be his turning point and that he could not afford to make a mistake.This time, he decided to disregard the alert that buzzed on his phone.

“Really? So Jacob has been caught? I think I will be next. “ Ms. Beauty paced nervously through her darkened penthouse, alerts buzzing nonstop on her phone. Jacob Ben's arrest had become widely known, and her name was prominently featured in the headlines of all the major media outlets. She was furious as she scrolled through the endless stream of notifications. "Jacob Ben in custody. Ms. Beauty mentioned in the inquiry into the Prime Enterprise scandal." The sound of her phone hitting the glass coffee table reverberated throughout the room as her fingers trembled. She stood motionless for a brief moment, gazing out at the expansive skyline of the city, her mind constantly planning her next move. Though she was aware that the walls were closing in, she was not prepared to give up. Not just yet. Approaching her desk, she pulled open a drawer and took out a stack of business cards. She paused after riffling through them until she found the one she was searching for: **Eric Maxwel
In the middle of her dimly lit penthouse, Ms. Beauty sat with her legs crossed, the gentle glow of the city lights dancing across her face. The phone buzzed once more in her hand, every new message serving as a reminder of the mayhem she had wreaked on Sebastian Prime. She was ecstatic about the wave of articles and social media rumors that her friend Eric Maxwell had started. However, something continued to nag at her despite the fleeting satisfaction. An untied thread, capable of bringing everything to pieces. The unidentified person who brought her into this whole mess. This whole series of events had been triggered by the mysterious caller. Whoever it was, they had wanted Sebastian to fail. But why? She at least had her own reason, whereas the unknown caller's reason was unknown. And why, initially, had they gotten in touch with her? Before things got out of her control even more, she needed answers. Her mind changed as the stark reality of her circumstances began to sink
Sebastian remained silent for a moment, taking in William's words and processing the gravity of the situation. The timeline was shortening, and the pressure was increasing. They had to act quickly. He turned away from the window, his gaze sharp and determined."Uncle, we can not afford to drag this out any longer. I am done playing defense. I am sending Anthony the unknown number we got from Beauty. Within 24 hours, he must track it down and determine who is responsible.” His voice was calm but determined, and each word carried the weight of a long-awaited decision.William raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure that is a smart move? If we push too hard, we could—"Sebastian cut him off, picking up his phone, saying, "I know what I am doing." "Beauty was not work alone. Someone was feeding her information, pulling the strings. It is time to figure out who."Sebastian did not wait to send Anthony a message, attaching the unidentified number that Ms. Beauty had been corresponding with. Befor
"This is one hell of a job to do," Abigail remarked, rubbing her hands together.Abigail was sitting at her desk reading the most recent stories that maligned Sebastian as the first rays of dawn broke through the Prime Enterprise building. She was determined to change the course of events despite the media frenzy that had reached a fever pitch. Now was the moment to carry out her plan.Her fingers danced over the keyboard as she composed a press release, constructing a story that would undermine Eric Maxwell while simultaneously defending Sebastian. The trick was to expose Maxwell's affiliations and motivations while painting Prime Enterprise as the target of a defamation effort. Sebastian's message buzzed through her phone at that exact moment.Sebastian: "What is the status?"Abigail answered right away.Abigail: "Developing it, sir. I will shortly have a counter-story ready. We will turn things around."She inhaled deeply, her thoughts buzzing with possible moves. She had to revea
The tension inside Ms. Beauty's home was evident even though the night had grown darker and the city lights were casting long shadows over the skyline. Her phone was tightly clenched in her hand as she paced back and forth. Her nervous energy was apparent in every step she took. Terry's revelation of Jade Nike's involvement had changed everything. Beauty's mind was already overanalyzing her situation and planning her next move. She was aware that she had to move quickly to change the story so that the Nike family would become the main focus and not herself.The quiet was broken by her phone buzzing. Her eyes slid to the screen below. It was Eric.Before responding, she muttered to herself, "About time.""Beauty," Eric said, tired but alert, "what is the next step? Abigail just ripped into me during the press conference. The media is all over it, and if we do not retaliate quickly, it could sink both of us."Beauty curled her lips into a wry smile. She knew precisely what to do. "Lis
