Chapter 2: The Evidence Goes Live

By sunrise, Ethan entered the boardroom expecting applause.

Instead...

every seat was occupied in complete silence.

The company's legal counsel sat beside federal investigators.

The chairman didn't invite Ethan to sit down.

He simply pressed a button.

The conference room screens lit up.

Security footage.

Audio recordings.

Private phone conversations.

One after another.

Months of evidence.

Every illegal transfer.

Every bribed executive.

Every conversation about forcing Olivia out of the company.

Then came the final recording.

Ethan's own voice.

"Once she's gone... everything belongs to me."

The room fell silent.

Ethan's face lost its color.

He looked toward Olivia.

She calmly placed a thick folder on the conference table.

"I didn't survive last night by luck."

"I survived because I knew you'd make your move."

Outside the building, financial regulators arrived.

Trading of the company's shares was immediately suspended.
