Chapter 5: Freedom
Six months later...
The company belonged to its employees again.
A new leadership team restored the business with transparency and accountability.
Olivia never returned to the executive office that had nearly become her prison.

She paused for only a moment before continuing forward.
A young reporter caught up with her.

"The truth gave me my future."
She walked away without looking back.
