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,

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 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.

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

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
