The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 235
The light over Prime Enterprise was pale as the following day broke. There was tension in the air inside the building. Sebastian arrived at William's office after a restless night, his eyes hollow with resolve. Abigail was there already, her own anxieties casting a shadow over her face, but her presence providing a quiet support. Don Carten, as stoic as ever, stood off to the side, braced for whatever the day held.William stood up from his seat as everyone gathered. "The police have already questioned Richard Rice," he stated, folding his arms tightly. "We have to be there to hear what he says firsthand."Sebastian just nodded, his jaw clenched. All night long, he had been going over what had happened at the docks in his head, wondering what he could have done differently, or how close he had come to getting Richard to tell the truth before the cops showed up. Just that thought was bothering him. He vowed that things would be different today.—The atmosphere inside the police stat

Sebastian struggled some more, his frustration building as the police hauled him out of the interrogation room. Richard's mocking laughter rang in Sebastian's ears, raising his blood pressure. Eventually, he became calm enough for one of the officers holding his arm to let go of him."Mr. Prime, this is not how it is done," the chief officer chastised Sebastian as they were escorted back outside to the hallway. He spoke in a firm but not harsh tone. "We recognize your frustration, but using physical force will not solve the problems. We have policies in place for a reason."Still fuming, Sebastian wrenched his arm away from the cop. "Procedures? Your procedures have yielded nothing!" His voice was low and dangerous. "You have not gotten anything out of him after hours of him being in here!"With a voice full of desperation, Abigail stepped forward and said, "We do not have time for this. Prime Enterprise is in jeopardy; everything we have worked so hard to achieve is in jeopardy. The

The police station was strangely quiet the following day, but there was tension running through each hallway. Although everyone seemed to be waiting for something, there was a sense of anticipation in the air as the officers went about their daily business. The chief had assured William and Sebastian that they would make progress by morning, and Richard Rice had been detained in the interrogation room all night. But by midafternoon, Richard still said nothing.A lone man moved toward the police station, his presence unnervingly deliberate but subtle nonetheless. He moved like a shadow, dodging the gaze of any officers standing nearby, as if he was familiar enough with the station's layout to see past eyes that were not needed. The man was dressed in a dark trench coat with the collar pulled up to cover his face. He walked into the building with measured, firm steps and a forward-looking expression.He spoke with a young officer at the front desk and was directed to the back hallway

In front of the police station, Sebastian, William Prime, Abigail, and Don got out of the elegant black sedan. As they got closer to the station doors, Sebastian's jaw tightened in a tense atmosphere. Since last night, there had been no updates, and a cloud of uncertainty loomed large over him. Walking beside him was William Prime, who had a stoic but equally impatient expression.The station was alive with quiet activity inside. Officers were hopping between desks, but there was a noticeable uneasiness in the air, something that was not spoken. An officer at reception stood up sharply as soon as the group entered. He recognized William Prime right away, a man who demanded respect everywhere he went. "We are here to see Richard Rice," William Prime announced quickly and authoritatively."Sir, as of now, Richard has not... provided any further information," the young officer stammered, blinking nervously. There was clearly hesitation in him.Sebastian was getting impatient. His hands

Prime Enterprise was buzzing with activity early the following morning. Workers dashed from cubicle to cubicle, phones rang nonstop, and the sound of keyboard clicks reverberated throughout the office. A man in plain clothes approached the front desk amid this orderly chaos. Despite his nervousness and exhaustion, his tall stature made him a commanding presence. His gaze darted about the space, as though he wanted to make sure no one was observing him too intently. The receptionist smiled broadly and gave him a cordial greeting. "Good morning. How can I assist you today?"The man moved uneasily and spoke quietly, as though he did not want to be heard. "I have to talk to the Vice President and the President of Prime Enterprise. It is an urgent situation."The request caused her eyebrows to raise slightly. Not often did someone request to see the company's top executives without making an appointment, much less someone dressed as casually as he did. But she sensed something serious in

The new information hung heavy in the air as soon as Officer Paul Wesley left the room. With his hands clasped behind his back, Sebastian stood by the window, observing the bustling city below him. His thoughts raced over the disclosures, piecing together the corruption's threads that had escaped him for so long. It was obvious that someone with sufficient power was influencing events behind the scenes in order to influence law enforcement and conceal important evidence. The silence that had descended on the room was broken a few minutes later by a knock at the door. William Prime entered the room with a neutral expression but perceptive, ever-watchful eyes. He looked over at the seat that Officer Wesley had just taken. He closed the door behind him. "I saw the man leave," William explained, approaching Sebastian's desk. "So, who was he? Is there a new development concerning Richard Rice?"Sebastian looked out the window, his expression expressionless. Although he had learned to tr

Sebastian got up and called Anthony back as soon as William left the office. "Anthony," Sebastian said softly but urgently. "I would like you to start monitoring the Chief Officer's movements around the clock. I want to know where he goes, who he meets, and everything he does. Get your team on board right away." "Already ahead of you, boss," Anthony responded. "I have got my guys prepared. I will keep you updated on whatever we discover." Leaning back in his chair, Sebastian hung up the phone. Even though the room was silent, his mind was constantly churning over potential outcomes. Anthony was parked a few streets away from a bar that was well-known for holding private gatherings away from curious onlookers that evening. He would tell his team to be on the lookout for the Chief Officer, especially tonight. Coincidentally, the chief officer had driven himself to this bar. Something about his movement and the timing of his visit suggested that this was not a casual stop. Ant

Sebastian's mind was racing, making connections and drawing lines between Richard Rice and the Chief Officer, Frank Ainsworth. The conspiracy had become much more complex, with seemingly ever-deeper layers emerging with each step they took.Sebastian returned his attention to William and Abigail, who were still seated in front of his desk and debating their options for the future. They all knew there was not much longer to act, and the tension was palpable."William, Abigail, we need to move quickly," Sebastian said quietly but firmly. "We must get to the bottom of this before anything comes up again."William nodded, his eyes narrowed with thought. "We have to see the Chief in person. If he is involved, we will have to confront him directly. He may not reveal everything, but we might be able to put pressure on him to make a mistake."Still shook by the news of Frank Ainsworth's involvement, Abigail cast a quick glance between the two men. "We will need more than just pressure if the

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
