Chapter 8 - The AuditThe atmosphere at Sterling Enterprises was tense. James bypassed his usual corner office and walked straight into the accounting department. He was not the polished, polite CEO today; he was a man on a warpath.
"I need every ledger, every offshore account file, and every communication log from the executive suite over the last year," James ordered his chief financial officer. "And lock my mother out of the building. Her keycard is deactivated."
Over the next forty-eight hours, James and his loyal legal team, led by Arthur, meticulously dismantled Eleanor's reign. The forgery of the divorce papers was just the tip of the iceberg. They uncovered a trail of embezzled funds, corporate blackmail, and bribes intended to keep Catherine's location hidden from him.
Eleanor hadn't just destroyed his family; she had been systematically bleeding the company dry to fund her own shadow empire. James compiled the files, a cold fury settling in his chest. It was time for the board meeting.
