Chapter 441
It was nightfall, and Jamie was about to reach out to Sonia over the phone. Since she was still staying with him, it was best to inform her that he was having dinner with a guest, and that guest was Julius Bolt.That way, Sonia doesn't walk in on a surprise she wasn't prepared to interact with. Jamie didn't have to think too much about it, as this is his penthouse after all.It didn't matter if Jamie informed Sonia of anything going on in the penthouse or not, but he wanted to be as hospitable as possible, so Sonia wouldn't feel like a squatter for a second.Of course, Jamie is putting in so much consideration because of one thing that has become clearer to him, especially during his absence. He’s still deeply attracted to Sonia Goidwin. The last time they talked was when Jamie's relationship with the famous actress, Arlene Gilliard.It had been somewhat of a messy breakup as Arlene had been ignoring him, only for them to reunite by Arlene walking in on him and Sonia about to kiss,

Now, Sonia just told him that both the $400 million Reynold's Agency, and the $7 billion Crooks Studio are coming together to oppress the mere $100 million Carson Biotech.Jamie excused himself from the dining room without giving the three people seated there any explanation. Neither Tom, Stella, nor Joe Julius needed the explanation, though. They had overheard the words of the young woman at the end of that call, and they knew this was a personal matter to Jamie.Meanwhile, Jamie headed out to the roof terrace, overlooking the nightlight mega city laid out in his eyes, but it was hardly reflected in his eyes at this moment.He spoke to Sonia with a concerned tone. “What exactly is going on, Sonia? Can you talk to me over the phone, or do you need us to meet up and…..”Sonia cut him off. “No, you can't come! It would only cause more trouble. I'm currently under house arrest. My dad won't let me out of the house for now. I'm even forced to switch to the online classes temporarily, un

Sonia related to this. “It's practically done with. The crazy part is that they kept Billy's family involved with Carson Biotech as lower-level employees. It's only been a few days, and I witnessed Billy and his family suffer a lot of humiliation.”“Stacy and I showed up to help the Carsons, but it seems they were prepared for this. Benard had Stacy forcibly taken back to the Reynold mansion where she's also under house arrest. These men have lost their fucking minds!”Jamie couldn't agree more. “And you? I'm guessing your father was brought into this through Tyson's parents.”Sonia let out another long sigh. “As much as I wished it wasn't the case, my dad is deeply connected with Tyson's parents - Holland and Freya Crook. He can't afford to offend them. For their sake, he had me move away from helping Carson.”Jamie hummed as he replied with his deep voice. “Got it. Leave it to me, Sonia. I handle everything from here on. Just wait for the updates.”Sonia allowed a moment of silence

Jamie had picked up on what Sonia was hesitantly navigating through her words. “You want me to speak to the Ashford subordinate, Ethan Lincoln, right? See if he is willing to use his connections to shift the ongoing momentum of the situation.”Sonia giggled lightly. “I know. It could easily come across as presumptuous, and….”Jamie cut her off once again. “I'll do it. Let me reach out to him first, and see how things would go.”The call came to an end. In truth, Jamie didn't need Ethan Lincoln's help at all. After all, he's the heir apparent of the entire Ashford clan, but it would provide the perfect cover when Jamie finally solves the situation.In fact, Jamie was really glad that Sonia was the one who made the suggestion to reach out to the Ashford subordinate. It would make the cover story easier to believe by the time everything settles.Once Jamie thought everything through, he dialed Stacy's number to get in touch with her. He was immediately directed to voicemail.Jamie scoff

Jamie didn't bother asking how things turned out this way, and that's because he understood everything.Billy's dad, Kevin Carson, was the one who established the dream to build his own biotech company. It was when he met the love of his life, Ada Wright, aka the love of his life, that the dream began manifesting into reality.Together, Kevin Carson and Ada Wright built Carson Biotech. But they only had millions and needed shareholders to help boost investments in the company.While Kevin and Ada own a joint share of 45% of the biotech company, the remaining 55% belongs in smaller percentages to various shareholders.“Hence, once Tyson and the Rey old family had the other shareholders in the palm of their hands, acquiring Carson Biotech wasn't really that hard.”Jamie nodded his head. “I see. So your parents couldn't exactly entrust the operations of the company to anyone else. So they negotiated to keep working there as part shareholders, and part employees.”Billy nodded his head.

Throughout the 12-star hotel building, every human and animal was scared, and they needed varying times to get over that unexplained feeling.Of course, those AS99 soldiers under the building stopped as well, recognizing that this wave of murderous aura belonged to their young master.If those living all the way below ground level could feel Jamie's aura, then the three powerful soldiers in the luxurious penthouse couldn't ignore it.Tom, Stella, and a reluctant Julius walked out to the terrace to check on Jamie.Tom stared at the young man. “Young Master, what's the matter?”Stella nodded her head. “Yeah, you've been gone for more than a quarter of an hour now, and your mood…..I'm certain that the entirety of Clayton Skyline Hotel felt your anger. Sir, are you okay?”Jamie let out a long sigh before he gave them a brief version of what he had just learned today.Julius scoffed as he glared out at the bustling nightlife of this city below him. “If I were you, Young Master Jamie, I wo

Jamie gazed out at the night sky, the wind blowing at his wavy hair. “A so-called academic child of an Ashford subordinate shouldn't be able to influence the mobilization of AS99 soldiers.” “Inevitably, the Crook family, the Reynold family, and many others watching this drama with Carson Biotech, would start reevaluating the narrative I sold to them.”Julius nodded his head. “Yeah, I see. Once that happens, it would only be a matter of time before the truth starts to surface, and your hidden identity as a notable member of the Ashford clan is on the verge of exposure.”It should be noted that Julius doesn't actually know the truth. Jamie isn't just a notable member of the Ashford clan, but rather, the heir apparent of the entire clan.Stella tapped a finger on her shoulder, as she had her hands crossed over her chest. “In that case, how do you plan on handling this issue, Young Master?”Jamie smirked at her. “The same way I've dealt with other issues: I'm gonna take a roundabout app

Jamie nodded his head with that slightly embarrassed smile. “It's fine. There's no time like the present. I'll make it up to her properly. Just go get in here.”Meanwhile, Security Guard Breanna Clay has been getting teased nonstop by her colleagues as soon as it was confirmed that a powerful superior to the chairman was here on a visit.She had told them about meeting Jamie the last time he was here. From the moment Jamie promised to reward her, she had told all of her colleagues. The news spread among the outer security unit.Breanna Clay ended up gaining favor with a powerful guest of Chairman Jones and is expected to be rewarded soon. Even if Breanna herself didn't say a word, news would still have spread, because the head of the outer security guard got fired because of this encounter. Too many familiar eyes had witnessed the man begging Jamie after disrespecting him.After Jamie's visit to the chairman's office, the entire security unit received a warning to keep a lookout for

Breanna could see the luxurious high heels right in front of her, before she felt a light tap on her back, causing her to slowly raise her head.She was now seeing the gorgeous smile on Stella's face and she couldn't help her racing heart from fluttering. “Um, hello?”Stella smiled at her. “My boss would like you to ride with him. I believe there is unfinished business that needs to be finalized. Miss Clay, your reward is here.” The bowing security guards gasped out loud as they couldn't keep their heads down anymore. They had to turn their heads up to see if this was truly happening. There was shock on their faces.Hearing those words, Breanna couldn't stop the tears from sliding down her face. “Okay.”As she followed Stella back to the luxurious $18.8 million Pagani Codalunga, those security guards who made fun of Breanna endlessly felt fear surge within their hearts. What kind of reward would Breanna receive? Would it truly upgrade her life? If it does, how would it affect peopl

Meanwhile, Tom Yates had just pulled up at the Reynolds family's mansion, here on his mission to rescue Stacy from house arrest.Tom rolled his eyes at the handsome man next to him, who wouldn't stop batting his thick eyelashes at him. “Stop being a creep, Supreme Lord Julius. It's far beneath someone of your status.”Julius sighed, feigning an expression of hurt. “Come on, Tommy. It's just you and I. Stop trying to push me away with the honorifics.”Tom gave a fake smile. “I wish it would work, though. But you and I both know it's hopeless against a shameless man like you.”Julius rested his chin on his propped hand to lovingly look at Tom. “Nah, it wouldn't work. But you know what would work great together? You and I.”Tom scoffed. “Don't you get tired? You always do this bullshit over and over again. I'm not stopping you from doing whatever you want but why am I always your target, huh?”The mood in the car got a bit tense after those words. Yet, there was a slightly warm smile on
