Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 51: “Actions Speak More Volumes.”
Five days have passed after Michael Scofield's shock-gripping appointment and he deliberately hadn't held an official meeting till twelve hours ago when a memo was strategically distributed to different departmental heads.All staff had several complex questions about the new COO and why he didn't opt for a staff/management meeting within two days of his appointment which was more like a norm in enterprises.He took it upon himself not to go the route of his predecessors but to keep an open eye in observing the staff a few days more to deduce those who should be permanently relieved of duties.“We are converging at the third floor Oyster Gold Hall for the staff and management by 10 AM. Don't be late.”The various departmental heads passed the reminder message across as they handpicked some junior staff members who would be present while others stayed behind to ensure the company's work was in good shape.The memo didn't inform the specific hall for the meeting which was also a deliber
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 52: The Visionary Pacesetter!!!
“Wow!!!”“A Wine Tasting Edition?”The once emotional staff distinctly mouthed among themselves with gleaming eyelids.They knew what that meant; after all, they were laborers in a winery company, but it sounded strange due to certain underlying reasons.Sheraton exuded a confident smile— she was already loving every intricate detail of Michael Scofield's tenure as the new COO.Oprah Gracy gave out a thumbs up and winked at him in acknowledgment while other staff were still enthralled at what they just heard.“I know y'all are shocked and at the same time excited and I understand the reason for the mixed feelings.”“As staff, you must have learned of several Wine Tasting Editions in some winery companies, but never have ours entertained similar objectives.”“My distinguished workforce, behold, this is the first Wine Tasting Edition— Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise will ever host and we must make it magical!!!”His oratory prowess during the first official meeting has been undoubtedly e
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 53: The Burning Flames!!!
Michael's face was graced with a beam— he didn't expect anything less from the distinguished winemaker herself from making such useful inquiries.“Good question— One of the narrowed selections is Ernest Great, the Production Manager of Oceanic Life Wines, Singapore.”The remaining management personnel nodded thoughtfully while Oprah and Sheraton mouthed further:“I have heard good stuff about him and the work he's doing over there. Would be great to have him as one of the mega judges.”“Ernest is just perfect! He had participated as a two-time judge in the Champagne Lovers Edition and was nothing short of impeccable. An outstanding selection Sir!”Others may not know who the aforementioned subject was but had a receptive demeanor on what the new COO was planning.“Thank you for your time, and don't forget what we discussed earlier. We'll reconvene in a couple of days.”They charmed him with beautiful smiles before making it to the door, but one of the personnel strategically stayed ba
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 54: The Fire Rescue Adventure--- Part 1
One of the troubled neighbors who had been shuddering in dismay at what the girl could be passing through just had to mouth out some words:“At this point, it's only a miracle that would save her. I doubt if the fire service men could do anything extraordinary even if they were here ‘cause the fire burns so mercilessly!”Instantaneously, as those words crept out from his lips, two aggravatedly emotional women sighed and glared at him with cautionary words:“Shame on you for losing hope on that little girl! If it was yours that was trapped in a burning house would you wish for someone to spew those words?”“I don't blame him! When men with brains are talking— this one, also, would jump out!”The labeled man wanted to respond but swallowed back his words knowing arguing with those saddened women would be a total waste of time and energy.While the back and forth was unfolding, Michael had made a quick phone call before striding towards the insulted man.“Don't respond; what you said was
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 55: The Fire Rescue Adventure--- Part 2
Questions upon questions plunged into everyone's hearts as they beheld the outcome of the rescue adventure.All Michael knew was a firm inward voice continually assuring him to give it a firm shot, and he believed— the same voice asked him to start with his right leg and left arm, and he completely obeyed.“My God!!! My only daughter! Sir, please save her for me!”The mother who had hurriedly alighted from the cab after being informed through an urgent call about her rented apartment being a grave victim to a fire outbreak.Uncontrollable tears enmeshed her eyes; beside her was her nine-year-old boy in his school uniform, uncontrollably shuddering non-stop at the sight of his helpless little sister.The seven-year-old girl would have gone to school that fateful day but had been sick for almost a week and just recently recovered. “Please Sir, don't let my little sister die!!!”The little boy cried out— a surge of emotions swam through everyone's veins including the earlier discourager
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 56: An Unforgettable Help!!!
Michael Scofield was taken aback by those words and switched his eyes to where the voice came from. On reflection, he narrowed his eyes trying to grasp if he could fully recognize the subject from the past. “Wow! Michael Scofield? Is it really you?” “When I learned of your name from one of the personnel who recognized you as the new COO of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. I just knew that the name struck a chord!” He walked closer to Shalom's mother, who had been dead serious about knowing him beforehand— temporarily paying less attention to the cheering and chanting of the neighborhood. From the type of woman she was, he didn't think he'd be bluffing about knowing him after he risked his life to save his daughter. “Thank you, Michael Scofield!!! You're the best!!!” More eyewitnesses kept voicing out non-stop. Shalom's mother gave out a sweet smile followed by a deep exhalation before mouthing further: “You’ve grown more mature and bigger. I'm elated you were able to succeed des
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 57: The Bold Soul!!!
He narrowed his eyes to grasp who the strange personnel could be and what he meant by those puzzled words. He drew a deep exhalation and decided to decode whoever it was without fear or uncertainty. He vehemently alighted from the car with his fists knitted in case the hoodie-dressed personnel tried anything violent against him. He might not be a Martial Lord as they earlier played Marshall to believe, but he’d certainly defend himself anytime, no matter the odds. “Who are you!?” This time around his voice was somewhat authoritative, not giving in to weakness. In response, the unknown figure bashed into a ceremonial laughter that lasted for almost ten seconds before patting Michael's shoulder accompanied by a firm nod. Instantly, he induced his initiative ability in action and didn't necessarily perceive the hoodie-clothed personnel as a threat and the laughter didn't ooze disrespect. “I am not surprised. Didn't expect anything less from the bold soul that you are.” “We
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 58: The Fated Second Meeting!!!
Michael exhaled calmly and nodded thoughtfully— he just had to believe the mysterious personnel and hope he didn't turn out to be the opposite of what he presumed.After a few more minutes of a ride— the hoodie-dressed man screened the car brakes as they drove into a simple beautifully built castle while he muttered some inaudible words to himself before speaking out with a directed stare:“We have arrived. You'd need to inform your loved ones that you're perfectly fine. They may be worried sick about you.”Michael raised his brows at the hearing of his words— it felt like he read through his mind to know how much he wanted to return those calls from Lord Eric and others.[Was the mysterious hoodie-dressed man possibly a mind-reader?]Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and texted the personnel that called earlier:‘Sorry for missing your calls— I just got my phone after a memorable adventure. Trust me, I'm fine.’Within seconds, Lord Eric managed to text back:‘Thank Heavens!

Chapter 207: The Swift Blow!
At midnight, Michael stood in the dark, his hands in his front pockets while waiting.In less than thirty seconds, footsteps echoed across as Jacob approached his direction, a thick manila folder wrapped in his hand.Jacob, his lawyer, didn't waste time at the midnight meeting.“It’s worse than we thought,” he got into words, handing over the file.“We carefully traced the leaks back to former employees; people who were loyal to Marshall. But this isn’t just about you.”Michael reactively flipped through the pages of the file. The deeper he read, the more intrigued he was to know what it was all about.“They’re surely coming after Lord Eric next,” he continued. “From all understanding Marshall and Gerald aren’t satisfied with just tarnishing your name. They want to dismantle everything Eric built.”Michael's lips laced with a scoff. “These guys never seem to amaze me”Jacob sighed before continuing. “Eric’s company is still a major player in the industry due to your significant input.
Chapter 206: Birds Of The Same Feathers
Her words rang a chord in his head. He knew those words had once been said by someone in the past.DONG!Yes! It was from his biological father; Oliver King.A hint of his words replayed in Michael's head on how they trained him to have whatever he requested and demanded.Marshall would always frown if he had been said no to because he thought and believed no one could.Michael escaped from his thoughts and focused back on her.“Where did you get from?” He asked, trying to play the pretense card.Christine swallowed in some saliva about to divulge some information she hadn't spoken about in years.“When the Boss gave Marshall the impression he'd become the heir of the company given the fact we believed he was the only offspring of the family.”“He used to come by to supervise the daily activities of the staff and how businesses were being operated. But…”Michael knitted his forehead, willing to know what the but was for.“Speak on. I'm all ears.”He urged her to unleash the cat from t
Chapter 205: Christine's Fears
Michael jotted from his thoughts with his eyes squinted while staring at the lady a few distance from him.Her countenance soured with visible concerns about the challenging moments.Tarnishing content broadcasted by the media with false transactions that never really occurred.A tool of deception so carefully crafted that, if left unchecked, it would be enough to destroy him and all he had built.The price of hard work, creativity, and success was all a smooth road path. It has been a rollercoaster for Michael since he officially became the COO/CEO of three booming industries The female staff all along was Christine who walked closer after he nodded his head to entertain what she had in mind.Her glances laced with frustration— she had wished for the newly appointed CEO to have an interrupted administration but the reality was a stark contrast.“Do sit down,” he calmly asked her while heading to his designated high table at the conference office.“Sir, I would prefer standing.”She

Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i
Chapter 203: A Breach In The Walls
While Michael battled public unrest on the latest development--- a more harmful attack was looming within the company.That evening, Christine, the head of cybersecurity in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, stepped into his office, her face wrapped with concern while she breathed urgently.Behind her was Malik, the financial advisor who had worked in the company for over six years, his demeanor etched with unease.“We have a problem, Sir,” she began first, placing a file on his desk. “Hmm… A big one.”Michael calmly flipped it open. Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo

Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w
Chapter 201: The Storm Breaks
Two weeks after Marshall’s threatening text message, the looming threat that had been foreseen was finally showcased.It began subtly with whispers in the media about internal conflicts at Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.The bitter truth was Michael hadn't gotten a full grasp of the flow of activities in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.He was still unlearning and relearning how the company functioned with the aid of his father, Scarlett, but it was a different ball game with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise because he had always been a fan of great wine.Also while working as the inventory officer at Charleston Park Shopping--- still married to Michelle. He used to request Eric Cottage Wines for sales.It was more like a walk in the park for him. Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However
Chapter 200: The Looming Strike
Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
