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

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

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

The light from the overhead lamps made the space feel brighter. Franklin, who had arrived earlier than the usual time, took a seat and his hands rested on the table, fingers lightly tapping as he waited for the others.His mind raced with thoughts about what was going to happen today. This is the time. No more hiding. It’s time to face Bill Ford and his evil schemes.The door creaked open, and Conor stepped inside, carrying a laptop bag and a small black case.Behind him was Mr. Hughes, who looked serious as always.Then came Ashley, her expression calm but her fingers nervously clutching a folder.Vera and Deborah entered last, talking quietly between themselves.Everyone greeted and took their seats around the table.Franklin stood up, clearing his throat. “Thanks for coming, everyone. We don’t have much time, so let’s get straight to it.”Conor placed the black case on the table and unlocked it, pulling out a small stack of papers and a flash drive.“We’ve gathered enough proof to

The executives sat frozen, each man consumed by anger or fear. Papers lay scattered across the table, evidence of the evil scheme Bill had stirred. He stood at the head of the table, his presence commanding, his eyes scanning the room like a hawk.Franklin Miles, seated in a secret room around the corner, watched everything unfold with a tight jaw. Something about the whole ordeal didn’t sit right with him, but he kept his expression neutral. He glanced at Conor, who was standing by the wall with his arms crossed. The two exchanged a subtle look before Franklin’s gaze returned to the table. He had other plans to figure out what was really going on, and those plans required patience.Bill tapped the table lightly with his fingers, the sound breaking the uncomfortable silence. “Gentlemen,” he said, his voice calm yet piercing, “it’s clear we have a serious issue here. Investors like me don’t appreciate seeing their money vanish into thin air.”Lee leaned forward, his face pale. “I didn’

The morning sun shone brightly over the grand headquarters of Bill Enterprises. It was a day of high pressure, as Bill Ford and his entourage were finally visiting the Miles Empire. This wasn’t just a casual meeting. Bill had been well articulated about his evil scheme with the way Miles Empire handled investor money, and today he planned to address it.Bill stood in front of his mirror, adjusting his tie. He was wearing a sharp black suit, his expression calm but cold.His assistant knocked on the door.“Mr. Ford, your convoy is ready,” the assistant said.Bill nodded and grabbed his briefcase. “Let’s not waste time. Today, we will finish what we started.”Downstairs, the convoy waited. His entourage, including Professor Arjun, Ivan, Viktor, and Igor, stood by their separate car. Each of them wore a similar grim expression and had their own different role to play.“We’re ready when you are,” Viktor said.Bill looked at them, his lips curling into a small smile. “This is going to be q

Franklin sat at his desk, staring at the laptop in front of him. His office was quiet, but his mind wasn’t. The things Jake had told him about Daisy’s plan and now his worries about Miles' Empire wouldn’t let him rest. He ran his hand through his hair, leaned back in his chair, and picked up his phone. It was time to act.“Conor, come to my office,” Franklin said after Conor picked up.A few minutes later, Conor entered. He was dressed casually but moved with the ease of someone always on guard. “What’s up, boss?” he asked, sitting down.Franklin leaned forward. “We have a problem. I installed surveillance cameras in critical areas of the headquarters—quietly, without anyone knowing. I need you and Mr. Hughes to check if they’re working properly. Don’t let anyone suspect what you’re doing. I have a feeling something's going on.”Conor nodded, his brows furrowed. “You think someone’s trying to mess with things there?”“I do,” Franklin said. “And I want proof before we act. These camera

Daisy pushed the door open and stepped into her apartment, kicking off her shoes by the entrance. The place was quiet, but not the comforting kind of quiet. It felt tense, like the walls were holding their breath. She dropped her bag on the couch and ran a hand through her hair.“Sophia?” she called out, her voice echoing in the stillness.“In here,” Sophia’s voice came from the kitchen.Daisy followed the sound, her steps slow and careful. When she got to the kitchen, Sophia was leaning against the counter, arms crossed, her face tight with frustration. A cup of tea sat untouched in front of her.“Hey,” Daisy said, trying to sound cheerful, though her stomach twisted at the sight of Sophia’s expression. “What’s with the look? Did something happen?”Sophia’s eyes narrowed. “You tell me, Daisy.”Daisy froze for a second, her mind racing. “What do you mean? Did… did something happen with you and Jake?”Sophia let out a short laugh, but there was no humor in it. “Oh, yeah. Jake happened.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY
Franklin was having breakfast with a coffee cup that had gone cold, and a laptop blinking with unread emails. The day had been long, and he was already feeling drained.Just as he reached for the coffee cup, his phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen. It was an unknown number.He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up. “Hello, this is Franklin Miles,” he said in his usual calm tone.“Franklin, it’s Jake. Daisy’s brother,” a nervous voice came through the line.Franklin frowned, sitting up straighter. Jake? Daisy’s brother? This was unexpected. “Jake? Why are you calling me? Is everything okay?”There was a pause on the other end, and Franklin could hear Jake take a deep breath before speaking again. “No, everything is not okay. I need to tell you something important—about Daisy.”Franklin’s chest tightened. “What about Daisy?”Jake’s voice was shaky but firm. “She’s lying to you, Franklin. About the baby. It’s not yours.”Franklin froze, the words hitting him like a pun
