He had promised to take them to the most expensive restaurant on campus.He remembered when he used to date Daisy and didn't have money to take her out. Franklin loved Daisy a lot back then, and thatâs why he always treated her with respect even though they never did anything inappropriate.Thinking about Daisy made Franklin feel sad. He wondered if Daisy would want to be with him again now that he was rich. He remembered all the times they held hands while walking in the library, and other places they went together.Just then, Franklin heard a familiar voice call out his name. âFranklin!â He turned around and saw Daisy, Emily and Jessica standing near the entrance of the big restaurant. Tom, and others were also there but not Richmond.Before he could say anything, Emily stepped forward. âWell, well, if it isnât the thief and cheater. What are you doing here, Franklin?âFranklin opened his mouth to res

Back to Casey Ford and Richmond in a corner of the school campus.Richmond took a step closer, lowering his voice as he spoke. âYou know, I can see youâre so upset with Franklin. But you should know that I'm angry with him too. The money he took from Daisy wasnât his to take. It was mine,â he explained, trying to gauge her reaction.Casey raised an eyebrow. âAnd why should I care about your money, Richmond?âRichmond chuckled softly. âMaybe you shouldnât. But Iâm just trying to understand why someone like you would go to such lengths to get back at him. What did that bastard do to you?âCaseyâs expression hardened again. âLike I said, I donât have to explain myself to you. My reasons are my own.âRichmond took a deep breath, deciding to change his approach. âAlright, Casey. I wonât press you on that. But letâs talk about something else. Iâve been watching you for a while, and I must say, youâre quite impressive and gorgeous.âCasey looked at him skeptically. âIs that so?ââYes,â Richm

"Hey, look at them trying to get into a place like this! Do they think they're rich or something?" one of them jeered."Yeah, I mean, come on, Franklin, you're not exactly swimming in cash," Tom sneered. "What are you doing here, trying to impress us with your fake wealth?"Franklin smiled calmly. "Tom, you'd be surprised what I can afford. And as for impressing you, I don't need to try. My presence here speaks for itself."Daisy and the girls chimed in, giggling and making snide comments. "Yeah, right, Franklin, you're probably going to get kicked out before you even make it past the lo

"Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Here's your check."Daisy glanced at the bill and frowned. "My boyfriend will be here any minute to pay," she said dismissively.Emily, Jessica, and Tom exchanged nervous glances. Emily whispered, "Daisy, are you sure Richmond is coming? It's been a while."Jessica added, "Yeah, what if he got caught up with something and can't make it. Just as you said earlier."Tom, trying to keep his cool, said, "Don't worry, girls. I'm sure he's on his way."The waiter cleared his throat, looking unimpressed. "Ma'am, we do need to settle the bill now. It's our policy."Daisy rolled her eyes. "Do you know who my boyfriend is?

Daisy and her friends were escorted by the manager to the back room of the high-end restaurant, away from the main dining area. This is done to handle the situation discreetly and avoid causing further disruption or embarrassment to other patrons.The room was small and plain, with a few chairs and a table. The walls were painted a dull gray, and there was a faint smell of cleaning supplies.The manager closed the door behind them, locking it. "Alright, here's the deal," he began, looking at each of them sternly. "You have ten minutes to come up with the money to pay your bill. If you can't do that, you have to pick three of the following punishments."Daisy and her friends listened as their faces were pale with worry."First," the manager continued, "we can call the police to get you arrested. You'll have to explain to them why you can't pay your bill."Emily gasped. "The police? No way!""Second," the manager went on, "you can work off your debt by doing tasks in the restaurant, lik

She had texted Richmond the day before, asking to meet. To her surprise, he had agreed, though she wasnât sure if it was out of guilt or curiosity.When Richmond walked in, Daisy spotted him immediately. He was wearing a leather jacket over a plain t-shirt, his usual smirk absent from his face. His steps were slow as he approached her table.âYou wanted to talk?â Richmond said, his voice calm but distant as he pulled out a chair and sat down.Daisy nodded, her throat itching. She had rehearsed what she wanted to say a hundred times, but now that he was here, the words felt jumbled. âYes. Thank you for coming.âRichmond leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. âWhatâs this about, Daisy? I donât have all day.âHer hands gripped the edge of the table as she took a deep breath.

I had to come and show it to you.â He placed the USB on the desk, sliding it toward Franklin.Franklin picked it up, examining it. âWhat exactly is in this?ââRecordings,â Jake said, his voice low. âRecordings of Daisy and my mom. She⌠sheâs the one who planned everything. She told Daisy to trap you, to use the baby as a way to control you.âFor a moment, Franklin didnât move. He just stared at Jake, his jaw tightening. âYouâre serious?âJake nodded. âI swear. I found the recorded conversations.

This wasnât just about saving the company; it was about protecting everything her team had worked for.Bill Ford sat on the other side of the courtroom with his lawyer. His face was stony, but his eyes darted around the room, betraying his unease. Beside him were Prof. Arjun, Ivan, Viktor, Igor, and the Insider, all looking equally tense.

In the evening Franklin stood outside the large warehouse. The cold air stung his face, but he didnât care.This was the moment he had been waiting for, a chance to finally put an end to everything Bill Ford and his crew had done.Beside him were Conor, Russell, Stephen, and a team of armed security guards. Everyone was focused, ready for what was about to happen.Conor glanced at Franklin. âWeâve got the building surrounded. No way for them to escape,â he said in a low voice.Franklin nodded. âGood. Letâs move in.âWith a signal from Conor, the security team moved forward, silently positioning themselves around the warehouse.Franklin motioned for Russell and Stephen to follow him as he pushed open the main door. The sound of the door creaking echoed in the quiet space, and inside, they saw Bill Ford standing at a table with Prof. Arjun, Ivan, Viktor, Igor, and the Insider.The men froze when they noticed Franklin and his team. For a moment, no one spoke. The tension in the air was s

Theyâre working together, as we suspected. He gave Bill a full update. Told him weâre on to them, mentioned the CCTV footage and the fingerprints.âFranklinâs brows furrowed. âDid they say anything about their next action?âConor nodded, his jaw tightening. âBill Ford is angry, but heâs not giving up. Heâs planning to cover his tracks, maybe destroy the evidence we have against them. Heâs got Viktor, Igor, and Ivan in on it, and Professor Arjun is helping him figure out the technical side. They know

Franklin's hands were folded in front of him. The room was filled with a few people that had been there for hours.Conor had just left, taking the responsibility of tracking the Insider. Now, it was time for Franklin to make the next move.He glanced at the faces of Vera, Deborah, Mr. Hughes, and Ashley. The group was waiting for him to speak.Franklin inhaled deeply, gathering his thoughts before speaking.âIâve made a decision,â he said quietly, his voice carrying an undercurrent of urgency. âWeâre locking down the building. I want everyone out. No one gets in or out until weâve figured this out. We canât afford to take any more chances. If weâre going to settle this, we need complete control.âVera, always the first to act when things got serious, nodded immediately. âUnderstood. Iâll see to that. details. Everyone will be escorted out, and weâll make sure the perimeter is secure.âDeborah didnât say anything, but Franklin could see the gears turning in her mind. She, too, knew the
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN
The day had been full of tension, even as the Insider walked out of the meeting room, he felt a sense of fear.He had convinced the others that he was just Paul, a simple logistics employee, and for now, it seemed like they believed him still.But as he made his way out of the building, he had no idea that Conor was silently following him. Franklin had ordered him to keep a close eye on the Insider.Conor stayed far enough behind to remain unnoticed but close enough to follow the Insiderâs every step. He saw the Insider turn into a narrow alley, change the face mask and clothes he was wearing and pull out his phone.Conor stopped and crouched down behind a parked car, straining to see him changing and to hear the conversation.The Insider was speaking to someone on the other end, his voice low and hurried.âI donât know how they found out,â the Insider was saying. âBut the son of Mr. Miles is back. He knows about the plan and they have footage and fingerprints of all of us. Iâm on my
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIX
The Insider stood at the center of everyoneâs attention, his face calm but his eyes darting nervously around the room.Franklin watched him closely, noting every twitch, every sign of unease.The room was still except for the quiet hum of the laptop, which had just finished playing the damning CCTV footage.âI donât know who this person youâre talking about is,â the Insider said, his voice steady but with a hint of defensiveness. âYouâve got the wrong man. Iâm Paul. I work in logistics. Check with my teamâtheyâll tell you.âFranklin narrowed his eyes, his fingers tightening on the edge of the table. Paul? Is that the best he could come up with?Conor exchanged a glance with Franklin, then stepped forward, his arms crossed over his chest. âPaul, huh? If youâre so innocent, then how do you explain the fingerprints on the server equipment? They match yours.âThe Insider shrugged, trying to look unconcerned. âItâs not uncommon to have similar fingerprints in large companies. Maybe someone
