CHAPTER 246 PART 2
As Faye made her way toward the stage entrance, she scanned the audience through a gap in the curtains. The attendees were settling into their seats, chatting quietly among themselves. Then her eyes fell on a familiar figure in the back row."Is that James Franx?" she murmured to herself, frowning slightly.James sat slouched in his seat, his appearance disheveled and his eyes fixed on the stage with an intensity that made Faye uncomfortable. He definitely wasn't on the guest list, but she decided not to make a scene by having him removed."I guess everyone's entitled to attend a public conference," she said to herself, though something about his presence felt wrong.As she approached the podium, James suddenly stood up and began walking toward the front of the auditorium. Faye paused, watching him with growing unease."Ms. Langford," James called out, his voice carrying across the quiet room. "Before you begin your little presentation, I have something to say."The audience turned to
CHAPTER 246 PART 1
In his penthouse office, Yemin stared at the morning news with a mixture of frustration and cold calculation.The headline read: "Charges Dropped Against Businessman Justin Castellanos Due to Lack of Evidence." He turned off the television and rubbed his temples, the weight of the situation pressing down on him."This is exactly what I expected would happen," he said to Marcus Chen, who sat across from his desk reviewing police reports."The evidence tampering was thorough," Marcus replied grimly. "They didn't leave anything to chance.""Even if I handed my own copy of the evidence back to Captain Rodriguez, the fact remains that most of the people willing to testify and back it up have either recanted their statements or mysteriously disappeared," Yemin said, his voice filled with controlled anger. "Dead witnesses can't testify."Marcus leaned forward. "So what's our next move?""It's obvious this was all the work of Agent Collins," Yemin continued, his analytical mind working throug

But even as he asked the question, he knew the answer. Yemin Morgan's reach was apparently far more extensive than anyone had realized.While Justin rotted in his cell, Agent Collins was busy implementing his emergency protocol. The first stop was a rundown apartment building on the east side, where he found Marcus Webb, a low-level drug dealer who had witnessed one of the Sphinx's operations."Please, man, I don't want any trouble," Marcus pleaded as Agent Collins kicked down his door."You testified against my boss," Agent Collins said coldly, pulling out a silenced pistol. "That was a mistake.""I didn't have a choice! The cops said they'd put me away for twenty years if I didn't cooperate!""And now you're going away permanently."The gunshot was barely audible through the silencer, but Marcus Webb's body hit the floor with a definitive thud.Agent Collins's next stop was the office of forensic accountant Sarah Mitchell, who had been instrumental in tracking the Sphinx's financial
CHAPTER 245 PART 1
The chaos outside Justin Castellanos's building was unlike anything the city had seen in years.Camera flashes erupted like fireworks as reporters pressed against the police barriers, their voices creating a deafening cacophony of questions and accusations."Mr. Castellanos! How do you respond to allegations linking your company to multiple unsolved murders?""Is it true that you ordered the assassination of key city officials?""What about the bribes to judges and politicians?"Justin's face was a mask of barely controlled fury as he was led through the gauntlet of media attention. The handcuffs bit into his wrists, but the humiliation cut far deeper than any physical discomfort."This is a fucking witch hunt!" he snarled at the nearest reporter. "You vultures don't know what you're talking about!"A reporter from Channel 9 pushed her microphone closer. "Mr. Castellanos, sources say you've been operating a criminal empire for over two decades. Do you deny these charges?""I deny ever
CHAPTER 244 PART 2
"Sir, maybe we should lay low for a while," Vincent suggested cautiously. "Yemin is starting to look more dangerous than we initially thought. Maybe even more dangerous than his mother was."The mention of Elena Ashford only fueled Justin's anger further. "Don't you dare compare that upstart to her. Elena Ashford was a formidable opponent, but she was predictable. This... this is something else entirely."Before Vincent could respond, another subordinate burst through the office doors, his face pale with panic."Sir! Sir, we have a problem!""What now?" Justin snapped."The police are here looking for you, sir. They're asking questions and demanding to speak with you personally."Justin scoffed in disbelief, his anger momentarily replaced by incredulous laughter. "The police? Here? Do they have any idea who they're dealing with?""Sir, they seem very serious," the subordinate continued nervously. "They're not taking no for an answer.""Then go out there and remind them who signs their
CHAPTER 244 PART 1
Faye stood in the doorway, her hands trembling slightly as she met Yemin's gaze.The weight of her guilt was evident in every line of her posture, and when she spoke, her voice was barely above a whisper."Yemin, I came to apologize," she began, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I know I have no right to be here after what I did."Yemin stepped aside, allowing her to enter. Marcus Chen gathered up some of the sensitive documents from the desk, giving them privacy while remaining close enough to intervene if needed."Faye, you don't need to—""No, please let me finish," she interrupted, her voice growing stronger. "You warned me that things would get dangerous and bad. You told me that being close to you would put me at risk, and I promised I would stand by you. I said I would be with you no matter what happened."Yemin watched her carefully, noting the pain in her expression. "Faye—""But when the time came, when you actually needed me, I froze up," she continued, her voice brea
