Cassie opened a thick file and began to list every single one of Wesley’s corporate crimes with a cold, surgical precision that left him speechless. She presented evidence of personal vacations charged to the company, illegal payments to offshore accounts, and the systematic use of corporate funds to pay for his divorce.
“These are nothing but fabricated lies designed to steal the company that I built with my own bare hands,” Wesley shouted, slamming his fist onto the table. “If you turn to page forty-seven, you will find the digital receipts and the intercepted emails where you ordered the suppression of my legal mail,” Cassie replied.
At exactly two minutes before five, Wesley was forced to sign his formal resignation in exchange for Cassie agreeing not to file immediate criminal charges against him. He walked out of the building completely alone, without a driver, without a bodyguard, and without a single person offering him a look of respect.
