The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 217
The news spread like wildfire.Seated in his office, Sebastian watched the reporters on the news, their faces unreadable as they continued to analyze the situation. Only a few days had passed since the Nike family made their intention to sue him known to the public, and already the story was being widely covered by the media. Accusations of bribery, defamation, and corporate sabotage erupted in headlines. Tension was palpable as Prime Enterprise was threatened by a lawsuit that was hanging over them like a black cloud.Seated at her desk, Abigail was frantically typing on her computer while keeping an eye on the news coverage. "It seems like the Nike family is putting a lot of effort into this," she muttered, scowling. "Every significant media outlet is conducting a press conference. They have already painted you as the villain."Sebastian remained staring at the TV and did not answer right away. He was thinking of other things, planning his next move. He was aware that the Nike fam

Beauty's smile fell away as her gaze locked onto the TV. She did not even notice when the wine glass fell out of her hand, smashing onto the plush white carpet and splattering crimson liquid. The words on the screen seared into her consciousness, and her heart raced. The accusations, which she had been burying for so long, were all she could hear as the news anchor's voice continued to drone on. These accusations were not just rumors.The proof presented against her was extremely damaging. All of the damning evidence that could destroy her reputation, career, and entire plan was in the public domain, including emails, financial records, and private conversations. Her heart began to race, and panic shot through her. Who was responsible for this? Who knew?"Impossible," she uttered in a barely audible whisper. She reached for her phone and frantically dialed Terry's number while her hands trembled.The phone kept ringing, and ringing, and finally, he answered."Terry!" she yelled, her

In the family's private meeting room, Senior Nike sat at the head of the long table, his deeply confused expression etched on his brow. He could feel the news pressing down on his shoulders like a physical burden. He flicked off the TV, his own troubled thoughts resonating through the now quiet room. How could Beauty have gotten herself involved in this mess? More significantly, how on earth could she have attempted to play with the Nike family?"What in the world is happening?" Amidst the thick silence, Senior Nike muttered something under his breath.Cindy, seated across from him, looked just as shocked. With her eyes wide with shock, she had been repeatedly refreshing the news feed on her phone as she scrolled through it. Every update seemed more improbable than the previous one. "I do not understand," Cindy exclaimed, her voice tight with frustration. "Why would Beauty draw us into this? What does she gain by attempting to manipulate us? Did she think we would not notice?"Romy,

Another day, but the same problem, Beauty's hands continued to shake when she tried to call Terry again. The idea that Eric might be the one to betray her made her head spin. She refused to believe it, yet every sign Terry had uncovered pointed directly at him. The phone rang, and it seemed to ring forever before Terry finally answered."Beauty?" Terry's voice came out hoarse, as if he had not rested in hours. "I need an update," Beauty insisted, her voice tight with desperation. "What else did you find?"Terry let out a long sigh before answering. "I have looked through everything we have. I looked into everyone who had access to the sensitive information. And it all comes back to Eric. There is not an error.”Beauty felt her stomach churn as she took in Terry's words. She had to hold onto the edge of the table to keep herself steady as her hands began to shake even more violently. "But Terry, it is Eric," she murmured. "He has been with me since the start. How could he...?"Terry

"This way, Eric, come with us."Eric never took his eyes off of Beauty's handcuffed appearance as he watched. It did not matter that the police were now closing in on him. Everything had proceeded precisely as expected. Eric reached into his pocket and took out his phone just as they were about to cuff him. He quickly typed a message to Sebastian, making sure it was succinct but understandable."Sebastian, Beauty and I have been arrested. It is done."The officers grabbed his phone just as he pressed the send button, and he did not resist. His job was completed."Let us go," one officer said, pulling him to the door.Eric took one final glance at the office that had functioned as the launchpad for his whole plan. The chaos that was about to break out was already apparent to him. He smiled and went along with the officers without a word.---Sebastian was in the midst of a tense meeting with Abigail and William Prime when his phone vibrated. He saw Eric's message as he squinted down a

Senior Nike called his family into the large dining hall for an urgent meeting as the magnificent Nike mission shimmered in the evening light. Romy, Cindy, and Luis sat around the table, their expressions varying from interest to agitation.Nike the senior slammed his palm down on the table. "The announcement is official. Eric and Beauty have been taken into custody. At last, that woman is no longer in our path."Cindy crossed her arms and exhaled deeply in relief. "It is unbelievable. She has been an annoyance to us for far too long."Romy leaned back in his chair and grinned. "This makes things easier for us. Sebastian will be without a vital component of his support network now that Beauty is not involved. Our entire attention can now be directed toward Prime Enterprise."Luis, who was sitting quietly, looked at Cindy. "But we should not become too comfortable. Sebastian is a sharp one. He is not going to take this lightly."Senior Nike looked at the table with narrowed eyes and no

Within Prime Enterprise, the vibrant energy was illuminated by the breaking dawn light that streamed through the tall glass windows. The company machine hummed with activity as staff hurried down hallways, phones rang nonstop, and meetings got underway. The atmosphere was tense but productive after the recent upheaval surrounding Beauty's arrest. Everyone was aware that the stakes had never been higher, and everyone was looking to Sebastian, the president, to lead the business through this difficult time.Sebastian remained composed and focused on outwitting his adversaries in spite of the increasing pressure. Ready to take on the long day ahead, he straightened his tie and went back to his desk. The ground floor receptionist was sitting at her desk, greeting guests and fielding phone calls. She was used to the steady stream of people entering and leaving Prime Enterprise, but something felt a little off today. A man came into the lobby and walked up to her desk; he was wearing a si

Another man entered the Prime Enterprise as Jonathan Wood was leaving. With a quick glance at his watch, he let out a frustrated sigh. It was unusual for him to be several minutes late for his appointment. It was concerning for him to be late because he was a professional and punctual man, but he hoped the president would not mind.The receptionist, who had been occupied all morning taking calls and directing the flow of guests, smiled warmly at him as he approached the desk. "Hello, sir. Good morning. How may I assist you?" With her customary grace, she inquired.The man grinned, but there was a trace of worry hiding behind his eyes. "Good morning. I have a meeting with Prime Enterprise's president, Mr. Sebastian. I apologize for being slightly late."With a nod, the receptionist grabbed her appointment list. "Not an issue. Would you kindly tell me your name?""Jonathan Woods," he replied calmly, adjusting his tie while waiting for her to confirm his appointment.The receptionist t

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
