The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 263
The rumored betrayal of Sebastian started to become ingrained in the public's consciousness. One article after another, each more damning than the last, was published every day. He was characterized by the media as an ingrate, a man who had abandoned the very family that had once provided for him. The pressure increased in the streets and in the courtroom with every new report."Why would he act in that way?"“He had better drop the case against those that Fed and made him.”“I wonder how he run Prime Enterprise with his foolishness!”The public wanted answers. They called for action more than anything. As people from all walks of life started to speak out against Sebastian and demand the Nike family's release prior to the court date, the cries became louder. There was an abundance of campaigns, petitions, and hashtags on social media. The world appeared to have turned against him, and the story had become widely publicized.However, Sebastian did not budge in the face of increasing

As they prepared to send out the most damaging statement of their careers, Peter and Vince both stared at their screens, their hands shaking. They were troubled by the thought of Gray's threat. Vince paused, going over what he had just typed again, each time a lie that would further damage Sebastian's reputation. He inhaled deeply while his fingers shook and he hit "send." Social media and news outlets immediately picked up the live statement. Breaking: "Sebastian, The Drug Addict, Exposed"The headline caused a flurry when it appeared on major media outlets. Sebastian was described as an unstable man who had concealed his addiction behind his wealth and business success in the article, which also detailed his alleged long-term drug abuse. A story that would tarnish Sebastian's reputation and call into question everything he had fought for was precisely what Gray had desired. Peter leaned back in his chair and used both hands to massage his face. He was aware of what they had just

Romy, who usually maintained his composure under pressure, paced back and forth in the holding cell. His hands were trembling, and her mind raced with thoughts of how badly this could turn out for her and her family. With each breath, the walls seemed to close in on him, and every second seemed to drag on forever.Cindy sat with her head buried in her hands on the chilly bench next to her. A desperate prayer or plea to anyone who could hear her was mumbled under her breath. She was terrified at the prospect of going to jail any longer. She was aware that they might spend a considerable amount of time here, their entire legacy destroyed, if the court decided against them. Her typical confidence was undermined by the thought of staying incarcerated, which tore at her like a cancer."I can not believe this is happening," Cindy finally said, barely audible. "Romy, we cannot stay in here. What happens if the court rules against us? What if we never get out?”Romy paused his pacing and tur

Officer Greene sat behind his desk, going over the profiles of Vince John and Peter Carter, the two men suspected of planning the smear campaign against Sebastian, the president of Prime Enterprise. After following their movements for the last 24 hours, the special unit was able to track them down and bring them in for interrogation following a string of late-night leads."Are they prepared?" Greene asked Officer Miller, his second-in-command, who was waiting at the door."Yes, sir. They are in separate rooms, as you requested," Miller responded. "So far, both have claimed their innocence."Greene nodded and rose from his seat. "We will start with Peter."As Greene approached the interrogation room, he considered his strategy. Experience had taught him that these men would attempt to deny everything, but he also knew that one of them would give way if he put enough pressure on him. According to the reports, Vince appeared to be the weakest link. But Peter was up first for the moment.
The Heir's Redemption (From Disgrace to Dominance) Chapter 267
Greene slammed the door behind him and strode back into his office. He had hoped for some progress by now, but neither Vince nor Peter would budge. Every denial irritated him, and the longer it continued, the more strain his shoulders were under. He paced back and forth while occasionally watching the interrogation rooms' surveillance feed. Peter's tense posture had not altered since their initial interrogation, and Vince was clearly fidgeting.Officer Miller, aware of the mounting tension, entered the room with caution. "They are still not breaking, sir," he said.Greene stopped dead in his tracks and gritted his teeth. "At this moment, I do not give a damn what they say. Miller, I want results. I want them to own up to their guilt. If they know anything, I want them to reveal it! Push harder!”Miller nodded, attempting not to wince at the command. "Yes, Sir. I will tell the team to apply more pressure."Greene rubbed his temples in exasperation as Miller walked away. This was not

There was only the faint sound of Gray Shelf's phone vibrating against his desk in his hideout. He listened to his investigator's update with great attention, and the tension in the room was evident. When the man on the other end broke the news, his piercing, calculating eyes grew icy: Peter and Vince had been captured by the special unit team, and worse, one of them had broken."You are saying that one of them confessed?" Gray's tone was abrasive and tinged with controlled rage. The investigator stumbled as he tried to explain the situation, and he held the phone tightly. Gray's thoughts whirled. To make sure that nothing could be linked to him, he had meticulously planned every aspect of the smear campaign against Sebastian. It appeared that one of Peter and Vince had given in to pressure, even though they were supposed to remain silent and devoted to the core."They... they mentioned your name, sir," the investigator said warily, as if bringing up the subject would make Gray angr

Greene walked back to the holding room where Vince was sitting with a purpose. He was not here to play games anymore, and his eyes were piercing and unforgiving. Vince, hands clasped in front of him, looked up as Greene entered, his guarded expression giving way to worry as he noticed the investigator's intense gaze.Greene did not waste any time. "Gray Shelf denied everything," he said coldly, cutting through the silence. "He claims he knows nothing about you, Peter, or this case. "He claims you acted on your own."Vince's face went pale, and he opened his mouth, his words briefly fading. Greene took a step forward, his voice growing irritated. "Are you telling me Gray Shelf is behind everything? You are telling me he orchestrated the smear campaign against Sebastian Prime, but he denies even knowing your name. So, who is lying here? Vince, are you telling me lies?”Vince's hands began to shake a little, and his eyes darted around the room as though he was looking for a way out. H

Greene exited the holding room with a feeling of satisfaction. He had finally penetrated Gray Shelf's wall of silence. Vince and Peter's testimonies, which were both filled with rage and betrayal, were more than enough to propel his investigation forward. Gray Shelf had meticulously planned out the lies and deceptions, and now they were coming apart piece by piece.Greene was feeling the pressure of the case as he walked to his office. Sebastian was no longer the only focus; justice and overthrowing a strongman who thought he could control people's lives without suffering any repercussions were at stake. He paused as he arrived at his office and then picked up the phone. He pressed Sebastian's phone number."Sebastian," Greene replied as soon as the line connected. He could almost feel Sebastian's anticipation through the line."How is it going, Greene?" Sebastian's voice was calm, but there was a palpable edge, the result of weeks of waiting, planning, and hoping.Greene smiled as

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
