The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
The âInsiderâ at Miles Empire who had been quietly observing the company for days, knew today was the perfect day to strike. He had spent hours studying the behaviors and routines of the prominent executives at Miles Empire. He knew when they came to work, when they took breaks, and even the way they talked. His plan was simple: sabotage the agreement and ruin the companyâs reputation.The Insider's first move was to impersonate Mr. Stephen. He had perfected Stephen's voice and mannerisms, practicing every little detail until he could flawlessly mimic the acting CEO. Wearing a suit similar to Mr. Stephen's, he walked confidently into an empty office, a place he had discovered was rarely used.He picked up a telephone and dialed a number. âItâs time to make the public announcement.ââGot it!â"Good day, this is Stephen Miles, the acting CEO of Miles Empire. I have an important announcement regarding our recent agreement with the other companies. After careful consideration, we have dec

Franklin was still upset from the intimate moment he shared with Daisy the previous night coupled with the attack in the hotel a few hours ago as he picked up his phone and dialed Conorâs number. He had lost contact with him and his team since the night before, and he needed to know what was going on.After a few rings, Conor answered, his voice calm and reassuring. âYoung master, itâs Conor. Weâve secured the hotel. Youâre safe to return now.âFranklin let out a sigh of relief. âThank you, Conor. I was worried. Who were those guys that attacked us? And why?âConor paused for a moment before responding. âIt was Richmond Wright and his boys, led by Big Joe. They came to take back the Empire State Hotel, claiming it belongs to their family. They accused you of buying it illegally.âFranklinâs expression darkened. âRichmond is just a jealous man. Heâs always been that way. I bought the hotel legally, and I have the documents to prove it.â His voice held a note of anger, but also a sense

The board members of Miles Empire gathered once again at a luxurious 5 star hotel called the central city hotel.

"We can't let Mr. Miles and those puppets he put in charge ruin our company. Their decisions have been reckless so far, and we need to do something about it."After he finished speaking, Mr. Reynolds nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with agreement. He scribbled some notes on his pad as he spoke. "I've spoken to investors, and they're fed up with Franklin's leadership," Mr. Reynolds added, his voice rising. "They're willing to support us if we take action."As he spoke, Mr. Lee pul

You look so pale."Casey forced a small smile and nodded. "Iâm fine, Maria. Just tired."Maria looked unconvinced but didnât press further. "Come inside, Miss Casey. Iâll make you some tea to help you relax."Casey followed Maria into the house, her mind still racing. As soon as she stepped inside, the familiar surroundings offered little c

Franklin Miles arrived at Miles Empire early the next morning, feeling the weight of everything that had happened over the past few days. He decided not to bring Conor and the rest of his security team back with him; he needed them to stay behind and continue to protect the Empire State Hotel. He couldnât risk another attack, not with so much at stake.Immediately he walked through the front doors, he sensed the tension in the air. The usually bustling lobby was quiet, the employees moving with a sense of purpose but also with an underlying unease. The conversations were hushed, and every face he passed wore a worried expression.

Franklin took a deep breath and broke the silence."Alright," Franklin said, breaking the tense silence that hung in the room. "We have to split the tasks to handle this crisis effectively. I'm going to dig into this sabotage. It's clear someone inside the company wants to bring us down, and I need to find out who." He looked at Vera and Ms. Deborah, his expression serious. "I can't do this on my own. Vera, Deborah, Iâm going to need your help with this investigation."Vera, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up. "Of course, Sir Franklin. We have to look into everyone who had access to the sensitive information that got leaked. Whoever did this had to know their way a

The security room was bright with several monitors flickering, each showing different parts of the building. Franklin, Vera, and Ms. Deborah stood close, watching the screens intently alongside the head of security whose name was Rick. Rick was clicking through the footage with an eagle eye. Rick scratched his chin, his eyes narrowing on one of the screens. âHold on a second. Something doesnât look right here,â he muttered, pointing to the monitor showing a hallway near the server room. âSee that guy? Heâs not supposed to be there.âFranklin shifted closer to the screen, studying the figure. âWho is that?â he asked, his brows furrowing. The figure was wearing a uniform similar to the maintenance crew, but there was something off about the way he was movingâtoo cautious, too aware of his surroundings.Rick continued clicking through the footage as his fingers moved quickly over the keyboard. âI donât recognize him,â he said. âAnd Iâve been here long enough to know every damn face in t

The cafĂŠ where Daisy and Richmond were finally meeting was quiet, the soft hum of conversations and clinking cups filling the air.Daisy sat at a corner table, her hands resting on her lap, fidgeting nervously. 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.

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

His look was serious, and his eyes glanced around the room, quickly locking onto Franklin.The room was quieter now, with just Franklin, Vera, Deborah, Mr. Hughes, and Ashley seated around the table.Franklin stood up immediately, his hands resting firmly on the table. âWhat did you find out?â he asked.Conor crossed the room and stood beside Franklin, lowering his voice but still loud enough for everyone to hear. âThe Insider met Bill Ford. 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
