We expect Miles Empire to cover the additional costs incurred. Failure to do so will result in legal proceedings.'""Stellar Innovations is one of our main supply chain," Mr. Russell said. "We can't ignore their demands too.""Then we have to negotiate with them," Mr. Stephen replied.

"The account was temporarily deactivated by Mr. Franklin, but the money is still there. The account is now reactivated, and the balance remains intact."The administrators exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from suspicion to contemplation. The head administrator, Dr. Robertson, cleared his throat and addressed the crowd. "It seems we have received clear evidence regarding the joint account issue. Franklin did not steal any money."The students began to murmur among themselves. Some looked shocked, while others seemed relieved. A few still wore skeptical expressions.

He glanced nervously at the administrators, who were now looking at him with stern expressions.Dr. Robertson cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "Mr. Gerald, the evidence provided by Franklin, along with your own unsubstantiated claims, leaves us with no choice but to address your misconduct. This institution upholds integrity and honesty above all else, and it seems you have violated these principles."Mr. Gerald tried to defend himself. "Dr. Robertson, please, there must be some misunderstanding. I... I was only trying to protect the integrity of our examination process. I never intended for things to escalate like this."Mrs. Johnson stepped forward. "Mr. Gerald, it's clear that you con

The plane will be ready for takeoff in an hour."Casey nodded, her eyes distant. "Thank you, Alec."Alec hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Miss Ford, if there's anything you need, or anyone you want us to handle, just let us know. We're here for you."Casey looked at him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You mean, if I want to deal with anyone who crossed me back there?"Alec nodded, trying to gauge her mood. "Yes, ma'am.

The long table in the center of the room was surrounded by executives, some whispering among themselves, others sitting in stiff silence.The news of Franklin Miles’ return had traveled fast, and everyone was eager to see what would happen next.The double doors opened, and Franklin walked in, his steps firm and his expression serious. He wore a dark suit that made him look both confident and in control. Behind him were Deborah, Vera, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Stephen. They followed closely, their faces calm but focused.Franklin didn’t waste time. He walked straight to the head of the table and stood tall, placing his hands on the surface as he looked around the room. His eyes scanned each person, taking in their reactions.“Good afternoon,” Franklin began, his voice clear and steady. “Thank you all for coming. I know the last few weeks have been chaotic, to say the least. But today, things change. Today, I am officially announcing my

The café 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 wasn’t 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.“You wanted to talk?” 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. “Yes. Thank you for coming.”Richmond leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “What’s this about, Daisy? I don’t have all day.”Her hands gripped the edge of the table as she took a deep breath.

I had to come and show it to you.” He placed the USB on the desk, sliding it toward Franklin.Franklin picked it up, examining it. “What exactly is in this?”“Recordings,” Jake said, his voice low. “Recordings of Daisy and my mom. She… she’s the one who planned everything. She told Daisy to trap you, to use the baby as a way to control you.”For a moment, Franklin didn’t move. He just stared at Jake, his jaw tightening. “You’re serious?”Jake nodded. “I swear. I found the recorded conversations. I didn’t know if I should tell you at first, but I couldn’t live with it anymore.”Franklin looked at him for a long time before s

Every seat was occupied, and the room hummed with whispers and muffled conversations.Reporters lined the back wall, their cameras ready to capture every moment of the high-profile case.

She adjusted her blazer and took a deep breath, glancing at Franklin, who gave her a nod of encouragement. She was nervous but also ready to fight. This wasn’t 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. The charges against them were serious, and they knew

In the evening Franklin stood outside the large warehouse. The cold air stung his face, but he didn’t 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. “We’ve got the building surrounded. No way for them to escape,” he said in a low voice.Franklin nodded. “Good. Let’s move in.”With 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

The door creaked open, and Conor stepped inside. 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. “What did you find out?” he asked.Conor crossed the room and stood beside Franklin, lowering his voice but still loud enough for everyone to hear. “The Insider met Bill Ford. They’re working together, as we suspected. He gave Bill a full update. Told him we’re on to them, mentioned the CCTV footage and the fingerprints.”Franklin’s brows furrowed. “Did they say anything about their next action?”Conor nodded, his jaw tightening. “Bill Ford is angry, but he’s not giving up. He’s planning to cover his tracks, maybe destroy the evidence we have against them. He’s 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.“I’ve made a decision,” he said quietly, his voice carrying an undercurrent of urgency. “We’re locking down the building. I want everyone out. No one gets in or out until we’ve figured this out. We can’t afford to take any more chances. If we’re going to settle this, we need complete control.”Vera, always the first to act when things got serious, nodded immediately. “Understood. I’ll see to that. details. Everyone will be escorted out, and we’ll make sure the perimeter is secure.”Deborah didn’t 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 Insider’s 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.“I don’t know how they found out,” the Insider was saying. “But the son of Mr. Miles is back. He knows about the plan and they have footage and fingerprints of all of us. I’m on my
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIX
The Insider stood at the center of everyone’s 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.“I don’t know who this person you’re talking about is,” the Insider said, his voice steady but with a hint of defensiveness. “You’ve got the wrong man. I’m Paul. I work in logistics. Check with my team—they’ll tell you.”Franklin 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. “Paul, huh? If you’re so innocent, then how do you explain the fingerprints on the server equipment? They match yours.”The Insider shrugged, trying to look unconcerned. “It’s not uncommon to have similar fingerprints in large companies. Maybe someone
