Apparently, he was calm in speech, and I didn't even want him to stress himself to make explicit explanations.

Clearly, that was weird of the Great Lord which got the Young Lord somewhat perplexed.

“I have known you enough to know how diligent you are in whatever you believe in. If it was something that I needed to know you'd have told me already in the last few days.”

“I believe a lot is happening in your life, and you're transitioning to a better version of yourself. Don't worry about telling me what you believe I shouldn't know yet till the time is ripe.”

“Whenever you're ready to spill the juice. I'll be all ears but for now. Welcome back, my boy!”

Lord Eric's words carried lots of weight despite using a low tone to express himself.

Michael embraced him once again and whispered to his left ear: “Thank you. Thank you for understanding.”

Lord Eric nodded thoughtfully and firmly while patting his shoulder— a tinge of emotions etched on both faces while they giggled and t

    Michael Scofield literally felt his throat tingling as he leaned further and wiggled his brows at Lord Eric to spill out the premeditated name already.His face was somewhat concocted with a frown, and he would preferred the caller to dial the Great Lord's cell line after their intense conversation was over.The call had rung for about five seconds— Lord Eric chimed a beam at him with a hint he was about to indulge the caller.Michael knew how personal the Great Lord took phone calls, especially when someone he knew needed to communicate with him.“We will continue shortly. I need to indulge Mr. Snow Ambrose…”He managed to spill out and winked at Michael before engaging with the aforementioned caller.Lord Eric knew his boy would have expected him to temporarily ignore the first ring call but had to pick up because he didn't know what could have caused Snow to dial his line.Michael leaned back to the couch and slightly sighed in thought while waiting for the Great Lord to be done.“

    Lord Eric took three hasty steps backward as his boy's words tingled his sensory organs. He managed to let out a faint smile before responding. “Oh, don't worry, my boy. I believe you must have had a long time being away from the mansion.” “You need to take some time to rest and rejuvenate so don't stress yourself, okay.” The Great Lord presumed his boy was being considerate as he always had and wanted to console Snow during a tough period of his life. However, he'd prefer Michael to stay behind and get served by the domestic staff members. Michael chimed in back a smile and tutted his lips in disapproval. He understood the motive behind the Great Lord's words, and as usual, he had his best interest at heart--- but the unfolding events were beyond Lord Eric's stance. He has a greater purpose of opting to go with the Great Lord which he wouldn't understand until the time is most ripe. He moved his feet onward and maintained close physical contact with Lord Eric. “The

    Lord Eric hastily flashed his eyes on his boy— the weight of his words had him stand at a point.Mr. Snow receded his tracks and glued his sight on Michael while exchanging eye contact with his friend— he didn't understand what gave the young man such overwhelming confidence.The wealthy personnel who had earlier arrived bulged their eyeballs on Michael and engaged in inaudible conversations among themselves.Michael's words connote he wanted to do something regarding the young boy's deteriorating state which seemed strange to grasp.“Honey, is that not the superhero who's immune to fire and saved the little girl called Shalom. Our son sang lots of praises about him throughout last week.”One of the prominent female individuals spilled as she stared at her husband with bewildered eyes.Another wealthy personnel seated beside her chipped in, his voice charmed with shocked excitement.“Wow. He's actually our two sons’ role model. My family hasn't stopped talking about him after the fire

    “C’mon, we know you're desperate to see your son healed again, but don't insult the medical profession by giving a chance to mediocrity!” his voice slammed hard, his tone cold and distant while glaring at Michael.After his stern voice fell out; the wealthy personnel blinked their eyelids in displeasure and didn't like how demeaning his words were.Some of them wiggled their brows at Mr. Snow, not to buy the words of the medical experts, and give the young man a chance.Within moments, another medical personnel stepped further and dashed into words with no smidge of a smile etched on his face.“Most of us here had been into the medical profession for over a decade, and if we couldn't save your boy, what in the hell's name makes you think he'd do anything differently?”Their faces were intrigued with a deeper frown while they spilled derogatory statements to have Snow change his mind and distort Michael's plans to examine the sick young boy.They would have sworn that Snow would ignore

    The sight of the numb young boy triggered some of the level of emotions in the atmosphere as most of them sighed in sadness.The medical experts in the building could have shown their jealousy of Michael's confident aura but the underlying fact remained none wanted the young sick boy to pass on.If they had what it required to heal the boy and make him whole again, they'd have done that already, and Michael wouldn't have accompanied Lord Eric.Michael drew a deep breath and stared at the boy— a surge of pity charmed in his conscience and he felt bad for Mr. Snow and how terrible he must have felt these past weeks due to his son's health deterioration.Gradually, he was beginning to understand why the Angel force needed an heir to offer help to the needy.The young boy lay helplessly and according to the medical diagnosis conducted, he barely had up to an hour to stay unconscious.Mr. Snow briskly walked towards the mattress and sat behind his boy— he held firmly to his emotions not to

    Michael Scofield, for a moment, drifted his eyes from the sick young boy and stared at the female medical personnel who uttered those demeaning statements.They had been doing everything possible to get on his nerves— but he had done his best to ignore their incessant tantrums for obvious reasons.If he hadn't encountered the Angel Force, he'd have possibly indulged in a fierce brawl with them which would be exactly what they desired.However, for some reason, the subtle inward instructions had been to ignore them and focus mainly on what led his path to Mr. Snow's residence.Within seconds after the words of the female medical practitioner echoed in everyone's eardrums which had most people in the room darting their eyes on her and Michael.The medical experts were engulfed in muffling mocking expressions and high-fiving her for being brutal with Michael.Mr. Snow and Lord Eric had their mouths somewhat widened— the belittling questions were mostly rhetorical and concocted with immen

    Michael Scofield's words re-echoed like an alarm without warning and had Mr. Snow flashing his eyes in confusion.His breath temporarily paused from inhaling while he helplessly stood and narrowed his eyes on Michael.In perfect slow motion, he drove his neck towards the medical practitioners who couldn't retain steady eye contact with him.Lord Eric and the wealthy individuals had their mouths agape while darting their eyebrows back and forth in perplexity.The room went numb like a graveyard and the only words that could be mumbled were inward.With blinking eyelids and multiple body gestures, a thousand messages were sent across by Mr. Snow to the medical experts who stood breathless with no immediate responses.Expectedly, his voice barked out as he couldn't continue with the deafening silence.“Doctor Richard! Is there an atom of truth in what he just said!?”His words slammed in a high pitch as he uncontrollably glared at him while taking four bold steps further.“Speak immediat

    DING!Half of the medical experts widened their mouths as the word: ‘Thallium’ reverberated in their eardrums.Of course, they were medical experts from different prestigious medical institutions in Britain and knew how the deadly substance thallium was made up.Lord Eric's throat ached with words, but he managed to amble two steps further toward Michael with a shocking demeanor etched on his facial expression.He vividly remembered how one of his best staff, who would have been appointed as the new COO before his encounter with Michael, was mercilessly poisoned with thallium, and he couldn't stay breathing for more than forty-eight hours.The mystery behind his death filled the atmosphere of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise with fear, and for over a year, he didn't find a suitable candidate to exalt the position of COO till he met Michael.Lord Eric, from that moment, started suspecting there was a looming battle that he could perceive but couldn't fathom where it emanated from.Hence,

    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.

    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

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.
