The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
Meanwhile, Franklin was still surprised at the beautiful woman who was sitting at the assistant's desk, typing away on the computer. Who was she? And what was she doing here? He thought to himself.Vera looked up, startled, as she noticed his presence. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was him, the delivery guy from the mall! The one who had given her and her ex-colleagues money. What was he doing here? And how did he get into the CEO’s office?Franklin's mind began to race with a lot of questions. Was she a spy? Working for Bill Ford or Casey Ford? How did she get past security? He felt a surge of anger. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.Vera was taken aback by Franklin's tone. "I...I can explain," she stuttered.Franklin's eyes narrowed. "Try," he said curtly.“I'm an employee here.” Vear explained.Franklin crossed his arms in his chest. "I don't believe you," he said bluntly. "What are you really doing here?"Vera felt accused, but continued to speak gently. "I'm telling the

Franklin hadn't realized he didn't have a secretary, and he was relieved that there was someone new who could help him with some office tasks.Franklin's face relaxed, and he smiled. “I didn't know you are related to Deborah, or that you'd be working for me." He said.Vera laughed awkwardly. "It's a small world, isn't it, Sir?"Franklin waved his hand. "Please, just call me Franklin. No need for 'Sir'."Vera shook her head quickly. "No, Sir. It's not respectful. You're the CEO."Franklin sighed. "Really, I insist. Franklin is fine."Vera stared at Franklin with respect and nervousness. "Sir, I can't call you by your first name. It wouldn't be right. It's inappropriate to the position you hold."Franklin sighed softly. "Vera, I insist you call me Franklin. Titles create distance, and I want us to work closely together without formalities.""I understand, but I was taught to show respect to people," Vera replied earnestly. "And besides, it's not right for me to address you informally."F

Professor Arjun quickly gathered his team in a small conference room so they could finalize their preparations for their upcoming operation in Miles Empire.These people were not ordinary employees; they were trained foreign scammers, experts in faking identities and claiming to be someone else."Alright, listen up," Professor Arjun began, with a steady voice. "Today is the day we discuss the partnership with the Miles Empire.”One of the scammers, a tall man named Viktor, asked. "What’s the plan, boss?”"We have our man inside who will arrange everything for us. Our goal is to hand over the briefcase containing the device and sign the legal documents." Professor Arjun laid out the briefcase on the table. "This device here," he said, tapping the case, "will give us full access to Miles Empire’s systems. Once inside, our man will know exactly what to do."A woman named Svetlana, who has been involved with several operations like this asked, "What about the partnership terms? How do we
The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Twenty minutes had passed, and Viktor, Igor, and Svetlana were parked outside the headquarters of Miles Empire.The sleek black Mercedes they arrived in gleamed under the morning sun. They were dressed like the most prestigious business personnel in the state.Viktor was wearing an expensive navy suit, Igor too was in a suit, but not navy in color but a gray suit with a red tie, and Svetlana on the other hand wore a black office dress and matching high heels.Inside the car, Viktor glanced at his watch and muttered to his partner, "We need to get inside. Time's running out."As they drove near the entrance, a security personnel stopped them. "Hold on. Who are you, and what's your business here today?"Viktor tried to remain calm. "We are from Green Tech Inc. and we have a business appointment scheduled today."The security guard frowned. "I haven't been informed about any business deal. You seem strange. I need some evidence."Igor snapped, "What do you mean you weren't informed? Do y

Bill Ford was a very clever man and has always wanted to be the best and at the top in the business world which is why he had several big plans in motion to make sure he got what he wanted and stayed at the top.Bill Ford had a special device called "Necrosync" made by Professor Arjun. This device was like a magic key. It could bypass any company's computer system and look at all their secret information.Necrosync could also be used to change things to make Bill rich. For example, it could make the stock market, where people buy and sell pieces of companies, go up or down just like Bill wanted. This device was super important to Bill because it helped him control everything.Bill's second plan was about making special deals with other big companies like his own. He wanted to make sure that Bill Enterprise, his company, could take over these other companies. To do this, he created another company, Green Tech Inc and with the help of Prof. Arjun, they had some tricky helpers called "sp
The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
Franklin Miles has a brilliant idea. "If we can make a public announcement to put all our partnership deals on hold, we can prevent Green Tech Inc. from finalizing the deal at the last minute." He said.Vera looked intrigued. It was a brilliant idea but time was running out. "How do we do that in such a short time?" She asked."We'll use the company's internal media communication channels to make the public announcement. We'll say we're doing a comprehensive review of all partnerships due to new company policies. This way, we can sabotage the partnership between Green Tech Inc. without raising any suspicion," Franklin explained.Vera nodded. "That could work."Franklin sat back down and began to quickly draft a memo on his computer. He outlined the new policy for reviewing and putting an end to all ongoing and future partnership deals to ensure the company's best interests.He made it sound like a routine check.Franklin's fingers flew over the keyboard, drafting the memo with precisi

Professor Arjun was in his office, busy with some work, when suddenly he heard the news of the public announcement from Miles Empire. He quickly focused on his TV to see for himself.Other news outlets and presenters were now speaking. "Miles Empire has issued an immediate halt to all ongoing and future partnership deals till further notice. This decision comes directly from the new CEO."Professor Arjun's eyeballs widened in shock. "What? How did this happen?" he muttered to himself.He grabbed his phone and quickly dialed Igor's number. "Igor, what's going on? I just saw the news!"Igor answered, sounding tired. "Yes, Professor Arjun, it's true. They made the announcement just as we were about to finalize the deal."Arjun frowned. "Where are you now? What's happening?"Igor replied, "We are driving back to our apartments. The meeting was called off."Arjun took a deep breath. "Did you manage to deliver Necrosync to our insider in Miles Empire?""Yes, Professor. We handed it over aft

In Franklin’s office, he was standing near his desk with his secretary, Vera, and the general manager of the company, Ms. Deborah.They had just managed to stop Green Tech Inc.'s plan and save the company.Vera, even though it was her first day at work, was smart enough to help Franklin save the company.She didn't know everything that was really going on and Franklin didn't want to tell her to keep her safe."We did it," Franklin said, a small smile forming on his face. He glanced at Vera. "You were amazing today. Without you, we couldn't have figured this whole thing out."Vera blushed deeply, looking down at the floor. "Thank you, sir. I was just doing my job as your secretary."Franklin pulled her into a hug. He could feel her body against his chest and he smelled her light, floral perfume. For a moment, he felt a sense of peace.Ms. Deborah, who was standing by the window the whole time watching them crossed her arms and smiled. "You two make a great team."Vera pulled back from

The boardroom of Miles Empire was filled with tension. 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.

Jake walked into Franklin’s office earlier that day, holding a small USB drive tightly in his hand. Franklin had been sitting behind his desk, reviewing documents, but when he saw Jake, he set the papers down and leaned forward.“Jake,” Franklin said, his voice calm but curious.Jake hesitated, his fingers fidgeting with the drive. “I… I couldn’t keep this anymore. 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

The courtroom was packed the next morning. 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. At the center of it all was Franklin Miles and his team, determined to reclaim Miles' Empire and bring justice to those who had tried to destroy it.Ashley in front of their legal table, her briefcase resting neatly beside her. 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

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
