“Huh, why are you all just forcing me?” Juliana had to voice out. “I said it last time that I'll think about it.”

Grandpa Nike became disgusted with his grand daughter's hesitation. He said coldly, “What are you trying to do? The earlier you accept Brian, the better for you! The useless husband you have now has nothing to offer you.”

Grandpa Nike was not having it, he was determined to persuade his granddaughter to marry Brian, just for the good of the company and the family.

“Look here my daughter, I'm your mother and I know what is best for you. Don't toss aside a bright future all because of indecision.”

“Cousin, this kind of love Brian is willing to give to you is so enviable. Your penniless husband can't even afford to offer you such love.”

The pressure from the family members was still coming, as Juliana became so uncomfortable with their lack of understanding, and felt worse in her heart at the moment. In front of her family, she's a pain to them again.

In the moment, Sebastian was as quiet as a grave yard would be, he didn't have the courage to object during the boiling mood of the family members.

Brian who was seated comfortably, was watching the drama among the Nike family members. Although he was already frustrated, but with a pretending smile on his face, he said, “Well, it's fine if she wants to think, but I will only speak to the President of Prime Enterprise after she's done thinking.”

The words said by Brian made Grandpa Nike disappointed in his grand daughter, the winkles on his face folded the more. He never expected his granddaughter would let them down in their hours of need.

Even when he promised to disown her as his granddaughter the last time they had the same conversation, it was just a threat to make Juliana succumb, and accept the certainty of becoming Brian's wife.

The company need is at stake, and he fear the worse might eventually happen if Juliana doesn't think fast.

“Hey loser! You had better undo what you've done to my daughter, and sign the divorce papers immediately, before I make you pay.”

Meanwhile, Luis stood up, pointed her finger towards Sebastian, and made him feel her frustration.

Romy and Cindy had a face of unhappiness that was directed to Sebatian too, obviously there was fury.

Sebatian's facial expression also wasn't in a better state at the moment. Not because of anything else, but because Brian was too shameless. He lied about being a friend to the President of Prime Enterprise.

He even went further to promise the family to speak to the President on their behalf even when he knows he can't. Was he not scared of being exposed?

“Don't you dare to act like you are not happy with what is going on, you coward!”

“He's not just poor, he pretends alot too. Can't you even dare to say a word?”

Sebastian looked at Romy and the rest of the family, after hearing their disrespectful words to him, he then said slowly, “Alright, if you want me to say something, then I'll say. I did nothing to Juliana, and Brian here, is confidently deceiving all of you.”

The noise at that very moment, seized. Every member seated became quiet on hearing what Sebastian had just said against Brian.

They were all staring at Sebatian eye ball to eye ball in great disbelief.

“Keep your mouth closed you poor rat!”

Someone said after a while, and then the noise of fury resumed in no time.

“Are you so jealous of Brian? Is it his fault you're so poor, and a live-in son-in-law?”

“I thought you were just poor, you're also very stupid. Juliana, you need to divorce this clown already!”

“You're so shameless, how dare you call Brian a deceiver?....”

In the midst of the crowd, Brian started feeling uncomfortable. However, he acted all calmed, and smiled playfully.

Grandpa Nike was already furious with Sebastian's accusation against Brian. He banged the table with anger, and said. “You poor thing! What do you mean by disrespecting Brian in such manner? How is the Manager of Prime Enterprise a deceiver?”

“He lied when he said he knows the President of Prime Enterprise.” Sebatian replied calmly. “He doesn't, and he can't speak to him on your behalf.”

“Who are you to know that?” Jade tried to hold back her laughter. She then said, “Tell us here, how do you know that Brian, who's the manager of the Prime Enterprise, does not know the President of the same Enterprise.”

“Do you even have any idea of what is coming out from and disgusting tongue? I'll make sure I personally deal with you for disrespecting Brian!”

Brian who kept watching finally glanced at Sebatian at that moment, with a mocking expression on his face, he tried to lift himself to avoid any suspicion. “You fo*l, have you ever been to Prime Enterprise in your entire life? The highest you've got is just to hear the name of the company. I am the manager of Prime Enterprise, and I seat with the President!”

“That's a privilege you'll never have in your whole life you loser!” Brian voice out in exasperation. “If I say the Nike company will get a bigger share of the investment, then so will it be.”

Romy looked at Brian with admiration, and nodded his head positively. He shifted his look to Sebatian, and scolded him. “You're such a good for nothing, who are you to even doubt Brian's capabilities in Prime Enterprise?”

“I'm sure he is out of his mind.”

Sebastian could not help sneering, while looking at the disgusting faces everyone against him. He looked directly at Brian and said, “The President of Prime Enterprise invested six billion dollars to cover up the canceled investment plans. You're just a manager, you have no say about the investment.”

Brian was disdainful. “Don't you dare act like you know anything about Prime Enterprise, you know nothing.”

Brian knew Sebastian was saying the truth. However, he didn't stop acting like all was a lie because the entire Nike Family trust and believe him.

Cindy laughed out loud suddenly. And while mocking Sebastian with her laugh, she said, “Ok Mr Sebatian, tell us, why are you so sure of what you're saying?”

There was a long pause from Sebastian, he was willing to put all the compiling drama to it very end. With his hands folded, and his face looking so serious at the moment. Courageously, he stated, “I am the President of Prime Enterprise, this is why I'm so sure!”

The three of them wore outraged expressions as they sat in Prime Enterprises' spacious conference room.Frustrated, Sebastian slammed a fist down on the glass table. "This is unbelievable! We were aware of the Director General's corruption, but this? allowing criminals with serious charges like theirs to be released on bail?"Abigail folded her arms tightly and reclined in her chair. "It is disgusting. Drug trafficking, organized crime, and conspiracy are serious crimes. If they walk free, it means they wield more power than we thought."William Prime sighed deeply after reading the court's ruling quietly on his tablet. "This demonstrates one thing, the Director General is not operating alone. Someone convinced him to make the courts dance to their tune."Sebastian shakes his head. "Who might that be? Who has the power to persuade the court to ignore such serious crimes

There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting.

Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

    As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation.

    Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw
