Isabelle’s driver had been on the road for over ten minutes to take her back to the private lounge where she would temporarily stay.She hoped for the business endeavour to get wrapped up sooner rather than later. Amid the smooth drive, her mind drifted with pressing thoughts based on how the first business meeting unfolded.Her countenance was somewhat complicated and had been often too silent since the driver zoomed off. Beside her were two smartly dressed men— precisely her bodyguards.They practically escorted her whenever she went, except during her private moments. Isabelle has become a figure to reckon with in France, and most business juggernauts would want her on their sideShe kind of let a smile show on her cheeks. She noticed the pretentious stares from mostly Stephanie and Sheraton.She was conversant with such hidden motive glances. The ladies weren't as receptive as they claimed to be, and she knew.She suspected they felt threatened by her presence and the possibility
Chapter 225: The Launched Rivalry
Michael Scofield stood at the glass window of Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, and business has been thriving regardless of the looming dangers and consistent threats.The Telecommunications empire that he commanded was expanding, but he knew his enemies wouldn’t stop until they had torn everything apart.The multi-talented Herbal Fortress welcomed their challenge.

The screen displayed a breaking news broadcast; Vandora and Shedrack had just launched a rival telecommunications company with a bold declaration:“We shall become the most successful telecommunications y'all have ever known. The apex is where our vision lies, and no one will stop us, not even the fraud.”Michael didn't need to be told that Vandora and Shedrack were among the invi
Chapter 224: Isabelle Laurent
The next afternoon, Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise was struck with anticipation.Isabelle Laurent, one of Europe’s most powerful CEOs, had arrived for her meeting with Michael Scofield.Without exaggeration, the French businesswoman was stunning; tall, elegant, with attractive emerald eyes and a confidence that was evident to anyone to notice.Her reputation preceded her; she was ruthless in business, charming in negotiations, and dangerously persuasive.As she stepped into the executive boardroom, Michael wore a welcoming smile on his face.“Welcome, Laurent,” he uttered smoothly, extending his hand for an appealing greeting.Isabelle’s lips curled into an alluring smile as she took his hand. “Mr. Scofield, finally, we meet. I must say, the rumors do not do you justice. You're undoubtedly a fine-looking, successful man.”Michael smirked. “I hear the same about you.”They took their seats, and the discussion began. Isabelle proposed a joint venture, an exclusive wine distribution deal
Chapter 223: A No With An Advice
Marshall's tiniest hope of being intimate with Miss June was shattered the very moment she spilled her last words.She seemed like one who doesn't say a word without meaning it.Clearly, she had been observant enough to have noticed how he flirtatiously stared at her with a subtle sexual hope entrapped in his heart.While listening to June's furious words against Michael and all therein. A smug smirk enthralled his cheeks in the hope that she would allow him to have his way.Unknown to him, a bigger shock was coming with her last words to set the record straight.Michael might be hated by her, but come rain, come sun— she'd always prefer him to whatever that looks like Marshall.A frown etched on his face while the subtle scoff that was once seen on his demeanor disappeared. There was no bluff in her words and nothing he'd say to change her decision.Gerald blurted a deep laugh he had been holding for quite a while. A while ago, he advised Marshall to think less about having access to
Chapter 222: Burning Fury
Miss June muffled those words, wearing a complicated expression. She wished the past events had played out differently.She wished her father's complaints about the company losing clients to Michael had sunk deep into her head sooner.For the longest time, her father refused to engage her in topics that related to his businesses.To him, it was a waste of information because his adamant daughter would choose a hopeless crush over the actual unfavorable reality.Most of the things she found out were through private and personal digging. Hence, Elliot never wanted her to know about his offline dealings with Marshall and Gerald.Miss June knew how desperate and ambitious her father could be and suspected he was gaining momentum to stand firm through other sources.“I dug deep about Michael and found out he had deliberately not officially engaged any of the women flaunting around him. What a smart arse dude.”She resumed words, a thick smirk curled across her left lips.The confidence exu
Chapter 221: A Sweet Fool
Gerald asked further. His mind completely sank in June's epistle about her journey to despise Michael.Before Gerald was allowed to work in the winery company, their father had to allow it. Before his frolicking lifestyle with the female staff began.He once had a serious crush on a gorgeous lady named Danielle, who clearly wasn't into him for reasons not fully known.Gerald, in a respectful act, did all he could for Danielle to see him beyond just another family acquaintance, but all attempts failed.Gerald's father knew about his feelings for Danielle. Lord Eric, through observation, found out for himself. It was crystal clear that Danielle wouldn't see him beyond what it already is.She even went as far as choosing Gerald’s close family friend— Jacob Webs. Rumors had it— it was all her tactics to get him off her face with the consent request to date her.Whatever it was, it didn't change the fact that Gerald at some point was a subtle laughingstock to the neighborhood who knew of h
Chapter 220: June's Truth
Marshall's attention has been somewhat distracted by the thought of Michelle and where she could be.He wondered how much she had revealed to her ex-husband, especially during his arrest.The spy agents had kept a tail on Michael for several weeks. Their reports stated that Michelle hasn't been found anywhere close to him in several days.If she wasn't spilling secrets to Michael, then what else could she be doing?Has she always been a shadowed agent for Michael, pretending to be on their team just to harness information for him?Or could it be that she has started to subtly fall in love with her ex-husband? How possible could that be?Has she been trying to stay off the crossfire and live a calmer life far from Michael's wrath or his enemies' plot?Was Michelle keeping a low profile while scheming for the freedom of her mother from jail?Marshall couldn't help but ponder about all these and had found no concrete answer to his plunging questions.Michelle knew coming back to the sini
Chapter 219: Gerald's Questions
Miss June went to grab a cup of hot coffee from the kitchen, which was east of where they were.Marshall's mood remained complicated while his cheeks reeked of sinister scoffing.Gerald slowly kept thudding his left index finger on the chair he rested on. A thought came across his mind, and he'd want to share.June returned to the original spot and noticed both men were engrossed in clustered thoughts.She deliberately cleared her throat to jot them out from their heavy thoughts while they acknowledged her presence.One thing outstanding about June was her irresistible presence, which carried an attractive aura. Even in silence, you'd somehow noticed she was around or nearby.It wouldn't be a lie to admit that she loves attention and would somehow swift the course of attraction to hers.Marshall stared at Gerald and uttered a word. “I know you have something extra to say. We are all ears.”He had been working closely with Gerald for several months, against Michael, to understand how h
Chapter 218: June's Plot
Moses’s countenance brightened with Michael's aid on the herbal medicineWth his exit from the penthouse suite— he didn't know when exactly he'd resume domestic duties but hoped to be sooner.Immediately, Michael left to see Lord Eric, who should be waiting for his arrival.Michael stepped into the grand balcony, where Lord Eric, his long-time mentor and benefactor, sat with one of the finest wines produced by his winery company.The old man’s sharp blue eyes studied Michael's demeanor, a calm smirk wrapped on his lips.“My boy,” Lord Eric called out as usual while signaling for Michael to sit.“I assume you received the letter?”Michael paused for a moment with his eyelids slowly blinking before resting his waist on the sofa.Lord Eric's words came like a surprise, given the fact that he didn't know he already knew about the parcel.“Did any of my domestic staff members inform him already?” He mused in darting eye contact.He nodded at Lord Eric's question, tossing the parcel note o
