The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 253
Abigail did not take long to pick up her phone and call her media contacts. Her reputation was built on completing tasks, and this was no exception. Publicizing the Nike family scandal was necessary; a strong case alone was insufficient. They needed to turn the tide of public opinion against their adversaries. It was the most reliable method to stop the Nike family from using their power behind closed doors.Sebastian paced the room as Abigail was making calls, feeling anxious about what lay ahead for them. "Once this makes the news, there will be no turning back," he said, looking at William. "The Nikes will fight like trapped animals. We have to be prepared for anything."William folded his arms and leaned against the desk. "Allow them to battle. They will only appear more helpless as a result. Everything we require to reveal them is here. It is time to exert pressure now."Abigail's labors paid off in a matter of hours. Anonymous tips regarding the arrests of the Nike family and

Gray Shelf stood by his desk, holding his phone close, and his hideout was strangely quiet. He gazed at the empty screen, attempting to calm his racing thoughts. He felt as though every idea weighed more heavily on him because of his situation. He had been hiding his involvement in dubious transactions for the Nikes for years, but he was running out of time to hide from the investigation into the family. He needed to move quickly.His fingers shaking, he punched in the first number. Nearly instantly, the investigator on the other end picked up."Boss?""Listen carefully," Gray said, lowering his voice to avoid being overheard. "I need you to monitor every single development in the Nike case. Do you understand? I want updates as soon as anything new comes to light. Anything concerning their arrest, any movement at all. Most importantly, keep an eye out for my name. I cannot afford for this to be traced back to me.’"Got it, boss," the investigator said, his tone tinged with concern. "

Gray Shelf stopped at the door, his hand firmly holding the handle. His heart pounded and uncertainty bit him. Could he really get out of all this by simply running? His mind was filled with conflicting thoughts, each louder than the last."Am I really going to flee?" he asked himself, turning away from the door and returning to the center of the room. The pressure on him was suffocating, but the idea of abandoning everything seemed weak. He detested the idea of coming across as cowardly and, worse, of giving someone else, like Sebastian, the impression that they were superior to him.His jaw tensed as he paused and fixed his gaze on the partially unzipped suitcase lying on the ground. A thought that had not occurred to him until now began to take root, and his mind began to spin. What if he turned the tables on Sebastian instead of fleeing? What if he was able to strike first?"No," he said quietly to himself, his voice hardening with determination. "Before Sebastian brings me down,

There was a fresh energy in the bustling atmosphere of Prime Enterprise. The office hallways were alive with murmurs and whispers, staff members huddled together in small groups passing documents back and forth. The shocking revelations had spread like wildfire throughout the building, with everyone voicing their opinions. This was the story of the Nike family's downfall."Have you heard? The Nikes were drug dealers all along!" a woman murmured to her partner by the coffee maker."They set up the president of Prime Enterprise. Can you imagine?” Her colleague replied quietly, eyes wide with disbelief.The rumor mill was working overtime, and word spread throughout the building. It was almost too crazy to believe that the once-respected Nike family had engaged in criminal activity and had planned an elaborate scheme against Sebastian. Several workers felt vindicated when they recalled the animosity that had existed between Sebastian and the Nike family for many years. On the other han

The sun peeked through the clouds the following morning, illuminating the police station's drab brick walls with a soft light. Senior Nike was waiting for his lawyer to arrive inside, and there was a lot of tension as he tried to figure out how to get out of the web Sebastian had woven around him. His frustration and rage had been simmering beneath the surface as he had paced his small holding cell all night. How could it all have come crashing down so quickly? He went from being a prominent member of Prime Enterprise to a police station where he was being investigated for a crime.There was a squeak as the hallway door opened and heavy footsteps reverberated through the concrete hallways. Senior Nike got up quickly as his lawyer entered the room. He was a well-dressed, steely-eyed man in his mid-50s. His hair was graying."Mr. Nike," the attorney nodded curtly. "I arrived as quickly as I could."Senior Nike did not waste any time introducing himself. "What information have you disco

Gray Shelf was in his hideout, sitting in his office, formulating plans in his head to seize back control and turn public opinion against Sebastian.Gray was not impetuous and angry like Senior Nike. He was cool, collected, and ten steps ahead of everyone. Even though Senior Nike was facing serious legal issues, he was aware that there was still time to restore the family's reputation. They had to quickly and drastically alter the storyline. Destroying Sebastian's reputation in the public sphere was the only way to prevent the entire collapse of the Nike family.Gray sat at his polished mahogany desk and rhythmically tapped his fingers against it. His mind was constantly brainstorming the best way to attack Sebastian while erasing any evidence of their collaboration. He needed someone to do the dirty work, but it had to be done carefully and meticulously.After a few moments of thought, he called his two most trusted publishers, Peter and Vince. They were the type of men who could c
The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 259
Peter and Vince got right to work carrying out Gray's meticulous plan. After a few hours, things started to happen: blog entries, articles, and social media buzz started to circulate on different platforms. Sensational headlines that were designed to draw attention and incite outrage:"A Lifetime of Betrayal: How Sebastian Betrayed the Nike Family After Getting Everything""Ruthless Backstabber Takes Nike Family Victim: Inside Sebastian's Plot to Destroy His Sponsors."The narrative skillfully blended fact and fiction, with just enough truth to support the story and just enough falsehoods to damage Sebastian's reputation. Sebastian was portrayed in the articles as the epitome of an ungrateful person: he was adopted by the Nike family when he had nothing at all, including connections or money, and he had used their resources to become powerful before betraying them when it was convenient for him. The story gained momentum with the claims of financial mismanagement and conspiracy agai

Sebastian paced his office, his thoughts racing as he stared at the phone. The recent events surrounding him had rattled him more than he cared to admit. He needed answers, and quickly. Leaning against the edge of his desk, he pulled out his phone and dialed Anthony’s number. Anthony Walker had always been reliable in such matters, someone who thrived in the shadows, dealing with people who preferred to keep their identities hidden. The phone rang only once before Anthony picked up. "Sebastian," Anthony's voice was calm, as though he anticipated the call. "Anthony," Sebastian replied, his voice firm but with a hint of tension. "I need you to dig up everything on an anonymous publisher. I’ve been getting reports about someone leaking information related to me, and it’s threatening to spiral out of control. I can’t afford any more surprises. Do you think you can handle it?" A faint chuckle came from Anthony. "Not a problem. I’ve dealt with more slippery characters. Just give

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
