Michael Scofield’s words were wrapped in diplomacy in order to catch a glimpse of other participants involved in illegal transactions.

He believed if he could lay hands on one of the perpetrators to find others wouldn't be much of a headache.

The bigger question is whether Jake and his cohorts would decide to solely bear the consequences and save others who could be involved.

For some special reasons, Michael believed the hammer hadn't completely hit the nail.

He somehow believed there would be someone or others involved that hasn't been exposed yet and he was bent on making the twisted adventure much simpler.

The devastated apprehended staff were still plunged to the ground while they exchanged pitiful eye contact among themselves.

They were deciding on how to reply to the COO’s question while using winks and brow wiggles to communicate codedly.

“The choice is yours! Would you want to fall alone or would you decide to have guilty companies beside y'all while falling?”

    Jake's vehement words plunged profound silence into the atmosphere and had all eyes profusely glancing at themselves.He didn't sputter, nor was there any form of stutter while he was making further revelation about the next partner in the decorated shady business.Michael Scofield couldn't help but blink his eyelids at Sheraton, who had resumed with her video recordings a while ago before Jake made the last expression.From her facial expression, it was crystal clear that her nerves were enmeshed in shocked surprise.The goddess of beauty couldn't have guessed the name that Jake mentioned even if a sectorial investigation had been conducted.Jake had his face lowered, his heart banging in frustration, he knew it was a matter of time for the full consequences of his ill actions to catch up with him.He wasn't ready to foster any goddam legacy that was initiated by the ex-COO— if he'd fall then others must fall alongside him.Michael had over twenty seconds to digest Jake's confession

    Sheraton temporarily paused the video recordings and handed her device over to Michael Scofield with an approachable demeanor.She wanted to communicate with the Marketing department through the configured intercom but the COO wiggled at her to apply a different approach.A smidge of further information etched in Michael's mind and he felt calling to inform Lilian could be a wrong move.If she was guilty, as Jake and John had affirmed, then one had to be quite meticulous while dealing with her.For her not to seem far from a suspect list but behind the fraudulent perpetration showed how uniquely skilled she was and shouldn't be taken for granted.Sheraton halted from her initial thought process and withdrew her hands to herself while waiting for the COO’s further instructions.John, Jake, and others were obviously dumbstruck, but their hearts and ears were induced on what Michael's next play in action would be.“When was the last time y'all saw Lilian? Shortly after my welcome at the

    Whatever the reason was, the button line was Michael would most likely benefit from Jake's personality of not falling alone.Michael brought out a piece of paper and wrote out clear instructions with bold capital letters.It seemed like in each minute of events— the new COO had a unique pattern of handling the inward fraudulent activities.“You’d call Lilian and inform her as follows…”Michael handed the piece of paper over to Jake and temporarily gave him back his phone for a specific assignment.“You had better not try anything stupid. Make sure the phone call is on loudspeaker. I want to hear every single word.”He uttered while wearing a serious outlook— it was over three minutes after Lilian sent a text message across, hence she should be expecting feedback from Jake.Lilian noticed Jake and John hadn't been in their designated offices for over an hour and had to chime Jake's phone with an urgent inquiry text message.She was most interested to know the motive behind the meeting

    Immediately, Sheraton strategically ended the call with a smirk etching in her heart; the office temporarily slammed into a thoughtful state, with each person having a distinguished idea to ponder on.Despite how clinical and spontaneous Jake was on the phone— Sheraton somewhat had doubts if Lilian would profoundly buy the pretentious idea of the meeting taking longer time than it should.On the contrary, Michael Scofield's thought patterns weren't related to whether Lilian would suspect anything dicey or not.He was most interested in Stephanie and how compromised or naive she could be about the shady endeavors of her direct boss.Not quite far from Sheraton's perspective— Jake wasn't completely confident about his level of spontaneity in conceiving Lilian about the so-called thirty drafted smaller companies.He presumed he should have done better while on the hot spot and gave an enticing excuse than the one he mouthed.Knowing how sensitive and coordinated Lilian was— she could per

    She didn't know exactly how to feel or whether she had been overthinking things lately about Michael and Stephanie or if it was normal for him to be whirled up with several thoughts.She had done everything possible to always enthrall Michael's attention, but one way or the other, the Adonis of Manchester seemed to redirect his attention to other things, and that has been discouraging.Michael had been the first man to treat Sheraton professionally for a longer time and that was entirely shocking to her.All men who had found a path with her always desired to date her, but with Michael, nothing was actually guaranteed, and that had been a puzzle that she hadn't been able to solve.She presumed Michael should have already perceived how she felt about him due to how sensitive he was but deliberately didn't want to delve on that path with her.“We must hurry. We can't keep the COO waiting for so long.”Lilian, whose countenance had been basking with a smile, informed her assistant of the

    Immediately Michael Scofield’s words crept out of his mouth— John and Jake tightened up their loose countenance and maintained a calmer demeanor.They didn't need a soothsayer to tell them how complicated it would be to trap Lilian if she profoundly sensed something awkward with them.During the first five seconds of her entrance, Michael waited to know if she'd fall, victim, as John and Jake did in mouthing too much than expected.Apparently, she seemed different and only proceeded to greet the COO while waiting for him to pop the expected question about salary and incentive increments.Michael's question rang a different tone in her head, and slowly, she exchanged eye contact with her assistant, who still hadn't fathomed the motive behind the meeting.Lilian was trying to make sense of the twisted reality before her and find answers to questions she was entertaining inwardly:‘My possible closeness with the ex-COO? The former elevated staff member who was sacked over a year ago? I t

    Stephanie had few words yet unspilled and had to bounce back to words before the suspicion abounded.Lilian stared through her and could smell the uncertainty entrapped on her assistant's curious facial expression.“Sir. I actually met him a couple of times during my internship period. However, when I officially got employed, he was already apprehended and sacked.”Michael nodded thoughtfully and arose while holding Jake's phone on his right finger.He was exhausted with the back and forth and needed to find a way to get to the peak of the investigation.“Haha!”“Did you know your boss has been involved in several shady businesses?” He fixated his eyes on Stephanie with his face completely enmeshed with ease.DING!Lilian dreaded in growing fear, it was beginning to make sense why Michael Scofield called her in for a meeting alongside her assistant.Stephanie bulged her eyes out and uncontrollably stared at Lilian and Michael with her mouth agape.She never knew the meeting was about

    Michael sat in his office, scoffing as his counterattack went in place. While in his silent moment, his phone chimed. A single text message appeared on the screen.His skin tickled in the process. He beamed while unlocking his phone— he already suspected the personnel behind the message.As expected it came from an untraceable contact: “You just made a grave mistake.”Michael smirked the more and solely dropped his phone back on the table.He had gotten used to Marshall's rageful tantrums and knew he'd send in an anonymous message soon.Despite being determined to fight Michael. The act of sending warning anonymous messages has become an unpredictable act.***Michael did well by exposing three more corrupt business executives but the media publication about his thievery in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications hadn't completely died off.Two days later, Michael and Oliver King scheduled a meeting with senior staff of the company.Indistinct voices were perceived at the Kingstown Golden

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
