The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 245
As John waited for Frank's answer, his heart hammered in his ears. His anxiety increased as the silence continued on the other end of the line. Frank was silent for a while, then his voice became harsh and unforgiving."John, are you serious right now?!" Frank's voice was like a knife cutting through the tension. "I warned you not to push it too far. You screwed this up, and now you want to drag me down with you? Handle your own mess!”John felt his stomach twist. "Frank, you realize how serious this is—""I do not give a damn how bad it is!" Frank lost his temper and snapped. "I forewarned you! I told you to be smart about this, but you are too stupid to do it. Now look at the mess you have created."John gripped his phone tighter. "I need your help, Frank! The Commissioner is breathing heavily on my neck. If I fall, you will fall as well. He is demanding to see Richard, and I have nothing!""Then figure it out, John!" Frank roared. "Do not give me a call about this ever again! It is
The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 246
The Commissioner was lost in thought as he sat at his desk the following day. He was thinking a lot about the situation involving Chief John. Even though he had known John for years, it was disappointing and worrisome to be taken by surprise by his behavior. The mention of the Nike family was the real problem, though, and it chilled him to the bone. An excessive amount of unfounded rumors and covert power transfers were traced back to the Nikes.The Commissioner picked up the phone and dialed a number he had not used in a long time, his expression grim. The phone rang twice before someone calm and authoritative picked up."Sebastian prime.""It is the Commissioner, Mr. Prime," he leaned back in his chair. "You might find some of the information I have to be interesting. It relates to the case we have been investigating... and the Nike family."The phone froze for a moment, but Sebastian's voice did not waver. "Go ahead."The Commissioner inhaled deeply before proceeding. "I met with

Frank sat there in his car, tapping the steering wheel with trembling fingers. The Commissioner had just received a concerning call from a department contact, informing him of Chief John's bribe and the Nike family's involvement. The disclosure of the secret they had laboriously maintained could have disastrous repercussions. Frank took out his phone and quickly dialed Senior Nike's number. The phone rang, and a deep, commanding voice responded. "Frank, what is it?"Drying his throat, Frank took a sharp breath. "Sir, I recently learned that the Commissioner is aware of the bribe given to Chief John. He is aware of us. The pressure got to John, and now Sebastian Prime and his team are investigating our relationship with Richard Rice."On the other end, there was a brief moment of silence, but it was a somber, unsettling silence. Then the voice of Senior Nike emerged, even more icy than before. "How did this come to be?"Frank paused before responding, saying, "It appears that John b

Seated in his hideout, Gray Shelf's gaze was fixed on the crackling fireplace flames. His mind was filled with cold, calculated thoughts that were not much warmed by the room's warmth. He had started to hear rumors about the Nike family.It did not surprise him because he was accustomed to hearing alarming stories about the Nike family—corruption, bribery, and manipulation. Thus, Gray hardly raised an eyebrow when his private investigator called to give an update.His desk phone began to buzz. Calmly, he reached over and held the receiver up to his ear."What is in store for me?" Gray spoke in a steady, low voice that was devoid of emotion.There was no delay for the investigator on the other end. "Sir, I have some updates. The setup against Sebastian involves a significant involvement from the Nike family. They bought Chief John off, but the Commissioner found out. John seemed to be unable to take the pressure and revealed everything. Now that the Commissioner is looking into the bri
The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 249
Following the call with Sebastian, the Commissioner leaned back in his chair. He was aware that the Nike family's involvement in the case was sensitive and that it would be difficult to obtain sufficient proof to proceed without inciting their wrath. His fingers drumming on his desk, he let out a slow exhale. The clock was ticking down, and if they did not act quickly, they would miss their chance to corner the Nikes. Looking out the window at the busy city streets below, he turned his chair towards the window. Any slip-up now might notify them of the ongoing probe, and they would undoubtedly find a means to make their issues go away. He could not afford that. Grabbing his phone, the Commissioner scrolled through his contacts, coming across a name that had long been dormant in his dealings. He knew it was risky, but there was no other option. After three rings, the phone was answered by a gravelly voice that said, "Nike residence, Senior Nike speaking." The Commissioner took

As the words registered, Senior Nike froze, his piercing gaze fixed on the Commissioner's face. How on earth could he be aware of that? Only a small number of people in the Nike family were aware of the secret operations that had been hidden for years within the former Nike company. Senior Nike had made sure that as soon as Sebastian Prime took over the company, all evidence of it was eliminated. And yet here was the Commissioner, discussing it with a frightening assurance.Senior Nike was an expert at exercising self-control, even with the alarm going off inside his head. He schooled his expression quickly, letting only a fleeting glimpse of shock pass over his features before covering it with a cool, collected air. He could not afford to appear weak in the slightest. "Commissioner, I do not know what you think you have uncovered, but I assure you, there is no hidden business related to my family in Prime Enterprise 2," he said with a smooth but unmistakably sharp voice.The Commis
The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 251
As the Commissioner said his parting words, Senior Nike's mind raced. Keep a careful check on things? That was equivalent to saying, "We are going to tear your life apart piece by piece." The betrayal by Rice Richard had let a floodgate open, and things were coming apart faster than he could handle. He needed to think, needed to take action, but every step seemed like it could go wrong.A knock at the door occurred just as Senior Nike believed he had reached the bottom of this pit. The door opened before the Commissioner could say anything more. Something changed in the room air. It was not just any person who walked in; it was a move of power.Sebastian Prime, William Prime, Abigail Nelson, and Don, walked in as if they owned the place. They had hard, uncompromising expressions on their faces. This was not a visit, but an ambush.Sebastian fixed his scornful gaze on Senior Nike, and it was almost tangible. Senior Nike's throat tightened around his breath. He recognized the look; it

The room erupted into a tense atmosphere as Senior Nike's defiance began to fade and his thoughts turned to finding a way to restore his reputation. But as the Commissioner got to his feet, his expression hardened, and it was obvious that this confrontation was about to get really serious. "Senior Nike," the Commissioner said gravely, "based on the evidence we have gathered, I am placing you under arrest for your involvement in illegal drug operations, fraud, and conspiracy." Senior Nike's face turned pale, his cheeks losing their color as the realization dawned on him. He felt the weight of the situation descend upon him like a ton of bricks. "You can not do this!" he exclaimed, desperation creeping into his tone. "I demand to speak with my lawyer! You do not have the right to take me without proper legal representation!"The Commissioner nodded, unaffected by the outburst. "You will have the opportunity to speak with your lawyer, but you will remain under arrest. The evidence ag

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
