CHAPTER 281 PART 2
Outside the pharmacy, a crowd of reporters and camera crews had already assembled. News of a major arrest connected to organized crime had leaked, and the media was eager for details."Roberto Santangelo!" a reporter shouted as police led him toward a squad car. "Can you comment on the charges against you?""Is it true you were plotting to murder Yemin Morgan?" another journalist called out."What's your relationship with Justin Castellanos?" a third reporter demanded.Roberto's face went pale as he realized the scope of the publicity disaster unfolding around him. The cameras captured every moment of his humiliation as he was pushed into the back seat of a police cruiser."No comment! No comment!" Roberto yelled, but the damage was already done.Yemin had strategically leaked the arrest to every major news outlet in the city. Within hours, Roberto's face would be plastered across television screens and newspaper front pages, forever linking him to Justin Castellanos in the public min

Three days after his recovery, Yemin was sitting in his hospital bed reviewing business reports when a courier delivered an elegant black envelope bearing the seal of the International Billionaire's Consortium.The invitation was embossed on gold paper, announcing the annual billionaire retreat at the exclusive Montclair Estate."Interesting timing," Yemin mused as he read the formal invitation. His recent public exposure as Alexander Ashford had confirmed his status among the world's wealthiest individuals, earning him entry into circles that had previously been closed to him.What made the invitation particularly intriguing was the guest list attached. Among the names of tech moguls, oil barons, and media tycoons was one that caught his immediate attention: Justin Castellanos."Perfect," Yemin said with a cold smile. "Time to finish this face to face."Despite his doctor's protests about early discharge, Yemin checked himself out of the hospital and began preparations for the retrea

"The pleasure is mine, Harold," Justin replied with practiced charm. "I trust your operations in the Middle East are proving profitable?""Beyond our wildest projections," Blackstone confirmed. "Your introduction to those government officials made all the difference."Similar conversations continued throughout the afternoon as various billionaires sought Justin's favor. Media mogul Sarah Chen wanted access to his political connections. Tech entrepreneur David Kim needed help navigating regulatory challenges. Real estate tycoon Patricia Williams hoped to secure permits for controversial developments.Justin basked in the attention, feeling like the undisputed king of this exclusive gathering. His ability to open doors and solve problems made him indispensable to people whose net worth exceeded the GDP of small countries."This is how it should be," Justin thought to himself. "Everyone recognizing my power and coming to me for solutions."That's when the atmosphere in the room suddenly

The tension between Yemin and Justin was palpable when petroleum executive Harold Blackstone stepped forward, clearly eager to curry favor with what he perceived as the more powerful man in the room."Excuse me," Harold said, positioning himself beside Justin with obvious deference. "I couldn't help but overhear this conversation, and I have to say, Mr. Morgan, you should show some respect here."Yemin turned his attention to Harold, studying the man from head to toe with cool disdain. Harold was typical of the breed – expensively dressed, desperately insecure, and willing to attach himself to anyone he thought could advance his interests."Respect for what exactly?" Yemin asked with mild curiosity."For what Justin Castellanos has accomplished," Harold said, his voice growing more confident as he sensed support from nearby guests. "This man has done more for our city than you could ever imagine. Meanwhile, all I hear about you is spending money on women and flashy cars."Yemin looked

On the 100th floor, Justin Castellanos stood near the elevator shaft, his voice echoing down to the trapped passengers below."Don't worry!" Justin called out loudly. "I'm going to get help right now! Just hold on down there!"His words carried the tone of genuine concern and urgency, but his actions told a completely different story. Instead of rushing toward the building's communication systems or emergency controls, Justin began examining the elevator's mechanical housing with calculating eyes."This is perfect," Justin muttered to himself, his facade of concern dropping entirely now that he was alone. "I never thought I'd get a chance like this to take out Yemin. The earthquake practically handed me the opportunity on a silver platter."He located the main cable housing and began working to disengage the primary support system. The elevator was currently being held by both the main cables and emergency brake systems, but Justin was confident he could find a way to disable both."L

As the elevator doors opened on the ground floor, a crowd of concerned billionaires and staff members immediately surrounded the nine survivors. The relief and chaos were palpable as people pressed forward with questions and offers of assistance."Thank God you're all alive!" Charles Whitmore exclaimed, pushing through the crowd. "We felt the earthquake and heard about the elevator malfunction. Are you injured? Do you need medical attention?""We're okay," Patricia Williams said shakily, still visibly rattled by the experience."It was terrifying," Victoria Sterling added, accepting a glass of water from a concerned staff member. "We thought we were going to die in there."The crowd murmured with sympathy and concern, but before anyone could provide detailed explanations of what had happened, Justin Castellanos appeared, pushing his way through the gathered people with an expression of manufactured relief and concern."Thank goodness everyone is safe!" Justin announced loudly, his voi

The accusation sent shockwaves through the gathered crowd. This was exactly the kind of high-drama confrontation that made these exclusive events memorable, but it was also deeply uncomfortable for people who valued social harmony above truth."That's a serious accusation," Charles Whitmore said carefully. "Are you saying Justin didn't activate the emergency override systems?""I'm saying Justin Castellanos couldn't activate an emergency override system if his life depended on it," Yemin replied bluntly. "Which, fortunately for him, it didn't."Justin's mask of concern began to slip, revealing flashes of the cold anger beneath. But he was too experienced a manipulator to lose control completely in front of so many witnesses."I understand you're still shaken from the experience," Justin said with condescending sympathy. "Trauma can sometimes affect memory and judgment. Perhaps you should see a doctor.""My memory is perfectly fine," Yemin shot back. "I remember exactly what happened i

Chapter 286Two days after the disastrous billionaire retreat, Yemin sat in his penthouse office with Marcus Chen, reviewing the fallout from the elevator incident and planning their next moves against Justin Castellanos's crumbling empire."So he actually proposed a face-to-face meeting?" Marcus asked, his expression skeptical."He did," Yemin confirmed. "Said it was time to put all our cards on the table and settle things once and for all."Marcus leaned back in his chair, his years of experience in corporate warfare making him immediately suspicious of such direct approaches."It's undoubtedly a trap," Marcus said firmly. "Justin Castellanos doesn't do anything without multiple hidden agendas. The man who tried to drop an elevator on your head isn't suddenly interested in honest negotiations.""I'm aware of that," Yemin replied calmly. "But I'm curious to hear what he has to say. Sometimes your enemies reveal more about their weaknesses when they think they're in control.""And if

Justin Castellanos paced his office like a caged animal, his face twisted with rage from his humiliating encounter with Yemin in the park. The dismissive way Yemin had walked away from him, calling him juvenile, burned in his mind like acid."That arrogant bastard thinks he can just dismiss me," Justin snarled to Salvatore Greco, who sat nervously in the corner. "He wants to play games? Fine. Let's see how calm he stays when people he cares about start disappearing.""What do you want us to do, boss?" Salvatore asked."Take Faye Langford," Justin ordered coldly. "Grab her off the street, from her office, I don't care where. Bring her to me."The kidnapping attempt was swift and coordinated. Three black SUVs converged on Faye's apartment building as she returned from work, armed men ready to drag her away. But they hadn't counted on Kazimir Volkov's vigilance.The first kidnapper never even reached the building entrance before Kaz put him down with a precise strike to the throat. The s

Yemin looked at Marcus Collins standing in the shadows of the underground parking garage and let out a derisive scoff. The appearance of Justin's enforcer was so predictable that it bordered on comedy."I should have known," Yemin said, shaking his head with disgust. "Even when you claim to want a fair fight, you still can't resist stacking the deck in your favor."Justin spread his hands in a gesture of mock innocence. "What are you talking about? This is exactly what we agreed to – a final confrontation to settle our differences.""A final confrontation between the two of us," Yemin corrected coldly. "Not between me and your personal attack dog.""Personal attack dog?" Marcus Collins stepped forward, his enhanced physique evident even in the dim fluorescent lighting. "That's rich coming from someone who hides behind money and connections.""At least I don't hide behind other people," Yemin shot back. "Tell me, Justin, are you that scared of losing to me that you brought your lapdog
