JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 107
Chapter 107“Jaxon, look who's here to see you.” Mr Sterling said and knocked on Jaxon's door.There was loud music coming from inside his room.After a few seconds, Jaxon opened the door and saw his father and a young man who looked a bit older than himself standing in the door.“Hello, Jaxon.” Williams said and stretched forth his hands for a handshake.“Hello,” Jaxon said and took his hand sluggishly after barely responding.His father explained how Williams had helped him in the past. “This is Williams, the guy who got you released from ESU custody the last time.”“Oh well. Williams.” He reluctantly greeted Williams as his father introduced them. The room was filled with loud music, and Jaxon seemed uninterested.He looked at Williams from head to toe not believing that a young man like Williams is capable of doing such.“In that case, I'll leave you both to catch on along with each other," Mr Sterling said and walked out.“Nice to see you, Jaxon,” Williams said.“Me too. Nice to

Chapter 108"You see, Jaxon, I like you so much, and that's why I want to tell you about this. Or has your dad already told you about it?"Jaxon shook his head and was curious. "Told me about what?" he asked impatiently.Williams sighed and looked at Jaxon with a mix of disappointment and pity. With a solemn expression, he replied, "Your dad doesn't regard you one bit. Take it from me; he sees you as a prodigal son who does nothing but spend all his money."Jaxon's face turned red with anger. "Screw you! Is that what you came here to tell me?" he yelled.“That's the tip of the iceberg of the things I want to reveal to you here in this room. Only if you would calm down and listen.”“You must be mad! I thought you have something important here to say, or your broke a** needs some cash. And I even believed you're dating Lana.”Williams was not going to have that insult. He shook his head again and asked. "Were you expecting me to tell you that your dad truly loves you?" he scoffed. "If s

Chapter 109Williams told Jaxon a whole lot of sugar coated nonsense and spiteful lies with falsified evidence that he ended up brainwashing Jaxon to develop an instant hatred towards his father altogether.“Your Dad is not really who you think he is.” Williams ended.Jaxon got up from the floor and headed for the door straight with rage.As he stormed toward the door, Williams was alarmed by his fury and hurried after him. "Where do you think you're going?" Williams demanded."I'm going to confront him and make him pay for ever treating me and my mom this way," Jaxon replied and his voice trembling with anger."Wait, are you mad? Do you not have sense?" Williams interjected, trying to reason with him. "What if he ends up doing something bad to you? You know his personal security won't hesitate to eliminate you if he gives them the order, even if you're his son.""Not when I kill him first," Jaxon retorted, He walked back to his wardrobe, reaching for a dagger from inside the wardrobe

Chapter 110Meanwhile, back at Star Suites, in James' room. He was not comfortable after he learnt that Williams has now been promoted to the position of head of technical department.He thought something was off about the guy and he didn't like him for one bit.Ellen also told him that she didn't like the way Williams was acting all through the date last night. According to her, ‘he is too full of himself and is not really who he claims to be.’He drove to Diamond Ville to ask Eric how everything happened and if possible for him to have Williams demoted.At the main entrance to the ville, the security guard stopped him. "Do you have an appointment or a pass?""Yes," James replied, handing over a pass with Mr. Wane's name on it.The security guard wasn't convinced as he didn't recognize James. "How did you get this?" he asked angrily, unsure of James's identity."From Mr. Wane himself," James replied calmly, though he understood the guard's concern for security."Are you sure, or did

Chapter 111EMERALD MULTI-SOURCE CORPORATIONIt was a Monday morning and all the workers were just arriving to work.The news of Williams' sudden promotion spread throughout EMC, and employees couldn't help but take notice as he and Jaxon entered the building together.Whispers and murmurs followed in their wake as they made their way through the corridors."Look, it's Williams and Jaxon.""Are they friends now?""Oh, so Mr. Sterling's son is back from vacation?""Goodness gracious, what's going on?"“Is this not the new director of the technical department? Is he now friends with Mr. Sterling's son?”Meanwhile, Alisha Carl, Cara Hart, and Anna Davis, along with other young female workers, caught sight of Williams and Jaxon walking into the senior staff members block together.“That's Williams and Jaxon,” Anna Davis said on spotting them."Oh my gosh, is that Williams and Jaxon?" Milly Sienna exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.She's one of the new senior employees and happen

Chapter 112James arrived at work on time and headed straight to the junior staff block. Upon his arrival, he found Elson waiting eagerly for him to unlock the restroom as per their agreement."Today's my last day cleaning here for you," Elson informed James."Yeah, I'm aware. Now, let's get to work," James replied and unlocked the restroom door for Elson to begin cleaning.As they entered, they were surprised to find a bag lying on the floor."What's that?" James asked, pointing to the bag.Elson glanced at the bag and shrugged. "Why are you asking me? Can't you check it out yourself?"James cautiously opened the bag and was astonished to find bundles of money inside, with a piece of paper indicating a total of one billion dollars."O! My! God! One billion dollars!" Elson exclaimed in disbelief as he saw it."That's a huge sum," James remarked.“A whole lot of money,” Elson exclaimed greedily."Who do you think owns this money?" James inquired.“Do I know? Do you see a name written o

Chapter 113 On his way to the control center, Williams bumped into James and Elson having a fight. He quickly rushed to the scene to find out what's wrong. He saw that James had given Elson the beating of his life without much of a stress, and Elson was already bruised on the lips and was panting heavily. “What's going on here?” he asked with a friendly tone. James turned around and looked at him with a dead stare and didn't respond. He turned around and tried to leave. “Oh! it's the Head of the technical department.” Someone said, “He has come to separate the fight.” Williams noticed his attitude, he already knew James doesn't like him and is not pretending. “You! Oh it's you James. The chauffeur by night and cleaner by day. I never expected for us to meet like this at EMC… You know this act is shameful.” Williams said and held him by the shoulder. “Now tell me what's going on?” He asked him with authority. He noticed the bag that James was carrying and wondered what was insid

Chapter 114Williams entered the technical block with a sense of power, and saw the staff of the technical department going about their work.When they saw him, they began greeting him respectfully."Good morning, Sir.""How are you, Boss?""Welcome, Boss."He barely acknowledged their greetings as he was consumed by his own pride. This was his first day as the manager of the technical department but he was already full of himself.He ordered two junior staff members to carry his technical tools and computers and they went straight to his new office, which was formerly belonging to Sam, and as he entered, he found Sam packing up."Good morning, Williams. Good to see you," Sam greeted and extended a hand for a handshake but Williams ignored him."Take off your ID from the badge pass and hand it to me," Williams commanded.The badge pass is the only pass into the control unit, and only a few board members have it.Sam was privileged to be among the few persons entrusted with a badge pas

His desk was a battlefield of financial reports and Priya’s red-inked notes, each page a clue in the war against Williams and Sterling’s virus scheme. The air was thick with the scent of coffee and ink, but James’ black eyes, sharp and restless, softened as Ana Davies’s heels clicked out the door, her promise to crack the restricted server logs lingering like a lifeline. He exhaled, rubbing his jaw, the weight of EMC’s survival pressing hard on his shoulders.Before he could dive back into the reports, his phone buzzed, the screen flashing Lana Wane’s name. James’ lips curved into a faint smile—he hadn’t heard from his cousin since she’d brushed off his security warnings for her Santorini trip. He swiped to answer, leaning forward, his elbow resting on the desk. “Lana, what’s up?” he said, his voice warm but tinged with curios

James’ eyes, sharp and unyielding, scanned the pages, his brow furrowed as he pieced together the puzzle that threatened his reclaimed empire.His dark hair fell slightly over his forehead, a stray lock he brushed back with a quick, impatient flick of his hand. The man who once scrubbed floors at a grocery store was gone; in his place sat the Wane heir, his jaw tight with resolve.The weight of Gregor’s words from his meeting with Kai at the Starlight Diner clung to J
Chapter 473: Secrets in the Sun
Chapter 473: Secrets in the SunThe Wane family estate in Emerald Falls sprawled across manicured lawns, its white marble facade gleaming under the late morning sun. The air hummed with the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant buzz of a lawnmower, a serene backdrop to the opulent mansion that whispered wealth and power. Inside, the grand foyer echoed with the soft clink of crystal chandeliers and the faint murmur of staff moving discreetly through the halls.Ellen Princeton stood at the threshold, her designer suitcase resting by her polished heels, her auburn hair catching the light as she adjusted her sunglasses atop her head. Her tailored cream blazer and matching skirt spoke of elegance, but her hazel eyes betrayed a flicker of weariness—her father Jonathan Princeton’s presidential campaign, now on hold, had left her navigating a storm of public scrutiny and private doubts.The heavy oak doors swung open, and Lana Wane swept into the foyer, her long, curly hair bouncing with

Chapter 472: Whispers of BetrayalThe grand hall of Liam Carter’s mansion gleamed under the soft glow of a crystal chandelier, its light bouncing off polished marble floors and dark oak paneling. The air carried the faint scent of leather, a testament to the wealth and power that defined the sprawling estate in the heart of Emerald Falls.Kai Nakamura stood near a towering window, the night sky beyond framing his lean silhouette. His gray suit was slightly rumpled from the day, but his sharp features remained composed, his dark eyes glinting with calculation. In his hand, he clutched the folded paper Gregor had given him at the Starlight Diner hours earlier—Lana Wane’s Greece itinerary, a key to unlocking the Wane family’s secrets. Kai’s mind churned, replaying Gregor’s words about Williams Jesse and Mr. Sterling’s virus scheme. Someone else knew, and that was a problem.The heavy oak door creaked open, and Liam Carter strode in, his tailored navy suit pristine despite the late hour.
Chapter 470: Shadows of Deception
Chapter 470: Shadows of DeceptionThe fluorescent lights of the Starlight Diner buzzed faintly, casting a harsh glow over the checkered linoleum floor and worn red booths. The air smelled of greasy burgers, stale coffee, and a hint of cigarette smoke that clung to the walls despite the no-smoking sign.Gregor sat in a corner booth, his broad shoulders hunched over a chipped mug of black coffee, the steam curling upward like a ghost. His hair, neatly combed, glinted under the lights, and his weathered face was set in a mask of calm, though his sharp gray eyes flicked to the diner’s entrance every few seconds. As James Wane’s loyal butler and covert operative, Gregor was no stranger to clandestine meetings, but tonight’s rendezvous with Kai Nakamura felt like walking a tightrope over a pit of vipers.His phone sat on the table, the screen dark but heavy with James’s last text: Give him the itinerary. Push the Sterling-Williams angle. Say you’ve got dirt on their virus scheme. Let’s see

Chapter 470 A Game of Trust (Continued)James glanced at the reports again, his fingers flipping through pages, searching for a clue he might’ve missed. The absence of Kai’s report gnawed at him. “What are you hiding, Nathaniel?” he murmured, his voice barely audible.The door creaked open, and Ana Davies, his secretary, stepped inside, her dark hair pulled into a neat bun, her glasses catching the light. She clutched a tablet, her posture professional but her eyes curious. “Mr. Clarkson, the meeting’s in an hour. Need anything prepped?” Her voice was crisp, but a slight tilt of her head betrayed her interest in his mood.James flashed a disarming smile, masking the storm in his mind. He leaned back, tossing the pen onto the desk with a casual flick. “Just the financials, Ana. And… any word from Patel’s team on the virus cleanup?”Ana crossed the room, her heels clicking softly on the hardwood floor. She stopped at the desk, tapping her tablet to pull up a file. “Nothing official. Mr.
Chapter 469: A Game of Trust
Chapter 469: A Game of TrustThe late afternoon sun filtered through the tinted windows of James’ office, casting long shadows across his polished mahogany desk.The room was a blend of modern elegance and understated power—sleek monitors, neatly stacked files, and a single framed photo of his parents, a reminder of the legacy he was fighting for.James leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers steepled under his chin. His sharp blue eyes, usually calm, flickered with unease as he stared at the muted TV screen mounted on the wall. The news ticker blazed: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED: COMPANY RESTORED TO FULL OPERATIONS.”James’s jaw tightened. Yesterday’s headlines had been a whirlwind of relief for EMC—customers flooding back, stock prices climbing, and employees celebrating. But to James, it felt too neat, too sudden. He’d long suspected Williams Jesse, the cunning tech manager, and Mr. Sterling, the manipulative head of the board, was behind the virus that had crippled EMC’s systems
Chapter 468: The Hidden Hand
Chapter 468: The Hidden HandThe dawn light crept beneath the heavy drapes of Williams Jesse’s bedroom, painting thin stripes of gold across his neatly made bed. He lay still for a moment, listening to the low hum of traffic outside. On the bedside table, the news channel played on mute, flashing headlines across the screen: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED,” “CUSTOMERS POUR BACK IN,” and “COMPANY STABILITY RESTORED.”Williams propped himself up on one elbow and reached for the remote, clicking off the TV. He studied the blank screen for a heartbeat, then swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood. The past few days had been a masterclass in deception, and now the world believed the danger was gone. But in truth, the real virus—silent, undetectable, and far more dangerous—lay hidden in the deepest layers of EMC’s network.He dressed quickly in a crisp white shirt and charcoal slacks, buttoning cuffs with precise motions. His reflection in the mirror showed a calm, confident man. No one w

An impromptu all-staff meeting had been called by CEO Eric Wood, a rare occurrence that sent ripples of curiosity and anticipation through every department.Employees from all levels gathered in the grand auditorium, a state-of-the-art facility designed for such significant announcements. The room buzzed with chatter, the air thick with excitement and speculation. Whispers of the recent virus removal and the mysterious figure behind it dominated conversations.The middle rows were filled with dozens of staff from departments like finance, IT, customer care, logistics, and development. They whispered, leaned sideways, and shared raised brows as they clapped.“That’s the guy, right?” one whispered to her colleague.“Nathaniel Grey. They say he barely even comes to EMC.”“Well, he shows up and boom—t
