The suspicion that clouded everyone's gaze the moment he entered the meeting room was the first thing Alvin noticed. Everyone was looking at him with dread. He checked himself stylishly to see if there was something wrong with his outfit or aura, then Murong Wuque behind him. Alvin looked at Tiffany, wondering what this was all about. In the corner, Lily Wen sat between two female guards, her face looking stiff, shoulders haunched. “Boss, have you seen the headlines this morning?” He shook his head, slightly confused. “What happened? I'm just waking up.” Tiffany tapped on her phone screen and turned it towards him. “Fred Coleman died at midnight… in a ghastly car accident which happened inexplicably.” Alvin was stunned at first, then he raised an eyebrow. “So? What if he's dead? What does it have to do with me? Karma has a way of catching up with people who deserve it.” Tiffany looked at him, a new degree of fear and awe in her eyes. “Someone had sent a car to smu

12.30 p.m Awe, fear and disbelief were the most prominent among all the emotions the executives were feeling at the moment. Murong Wuque had returned within an hour with five USBs. No one knew how he did it, but he recovered even deleted files, went through recordings spanning three years, and extracted the ones he needed, all within an hour. Then he had returned to help Alvin with the accounts by 9.50 a.m. In just three hours, he and Alvin had gone through the entire documents, flipping the pages with lightning speed as they reconciled accounts, fingers flying over the keyboard as if they were superhuman. Now, there were graphs, charts and key points carefully outlined, showing trends, mistakes and loopholes. On her end, Elena and the others were hard at work. Although they had only managed to go through that of this year and the year before, the information extracted was enough. Something was incredibly wrong with SW. Sure, it raked in billions in profit, but peop

Back in the office“Lily alone diverted twelve billion, fifteen million, seven hundred and eighty thousand. Director Britney, excluding the gains from the poached movies and stars used with low pay, the cash diverted to you came up to a billion. For Kensington, yours wasn't much, five hundred million, the Pierce family, two hundred million excluding bribes received from Lily and her spawns, the list goes on and on.”Murong Wuque motioned to Tiffany who accepted a stack of documents from him. He had created folders for everyone guilty of embezzlement, in addition to the amounts they owe SW and the things they have done. Lily's file was especially enormous, followed by Katarina and Director Britney. Their pictures were included, and at the back tagged index, records of their other crimes and scandals which had nothing to do with SW, but had severe legal and social implications were added, as if trying to pressure them using the evidence collected. “Lily, you have three days to gather

This time Miss. Gretchen was the first person to check her phone, and she gasped. Somehow, a video clip of Director Britney threatening to drag Alvin to every bureau known to man surfaced online with the tag “SWE's board of directors threathen to hurt the chairman if he doesn't drop the embezzlement charges against them. Insider suspects Lily Wen is Mr. Britney’s secret lover.” “Leaked news suggests that over twenty billion have been stolen by a combined efforts of the executives, with Lily Wen diverting more than half the amount to her secret boyfriend’s company, Dolcy studios. Is the entertainment industry about to experience a power change?” “It's over. It's over. Yes I'm finished.” Lily collapsed to the floor, totally losing her mind. With everything going on, if she gets fired by SW entertainment, no company would dare hire her again, talk more of giving her an important post. If she was unable to turn this situation around, she would become destitute, saying a permanent b

Natalie wasn't the only one stunned, the rest were. Even Elena had dropped her current task to listen properly. “This.. This is indeed a very tough question.” She replied, her brows scrunched up in deep thoughts. After three minutes of silence, she shook her head. “I might obey the first time, due to panic and desperation. However, harming artists to protect my interest is something I will never do. If the situation turns dire, and there's no way out, I will have to find the chairman and come clean. His reaction will determine how things proceed.”Alvin nodded, sucking his teeth. “What if the chairman ends up being dismissive, and arrests you instead after coming clean? Or even twists the narrative to make you seem evil and ungrateful.”“Then I would have done my part. No matter how I get punished, at least my heart will be light. I would just need to find ways to send my family to safety. If having a good life involves hurting others, it's probably not worth it.”Alvin turned to Mu
