At 5 A.M Nathan sat in Victor’s study, staring at the muted TV screen, its ticker crawling red numbers. Hayes Telecom plunges as Kane Capital announces withdrawal. Headlines stacked one after another across every channel, the family empire he’d once defended now wobbling under the decision of a single strike.Victor’s voice carried through the room, calm, controlled, as he spoke into the phone. “Yes. All of it. Every share, every bond. Make sure the press knows by market open.” His tone was clipped, decisive. War disguised as business.Nathan rubbed his side head. This was no empty threat, no bluff. Victor’s words would ripple across the city by sunrise, boardrooms trembling, analysts scrambling to explain how Hayes Telecom had lost its largest backer overnight.By mid-morning, the impact had landed. News anchors dissected charts. Confidence shaken… investors rattled… unprecedented move by Kane Capital. The Hayes name, his name, was plastered across every screen, dragged through anot

Nathan’s resolve hardened. “Okay dad.”Nathan stood in Victor’s tech firm office, facing board member Clara across a polished table. His laptop screen glowed with Liam’s insider trading evidence—dates, trades, accounts. He’d rehearsed this pitch, every word sharp, ready to expose Liam’s lies. Clara’s eyes flicked over the documents, her expression unreadable.“This is damning,” Clara said, voice cool. “If it’s real.”“It’s real,” Nathan said, keeping his tone steady. “Liam’s been skimming profits for years. These records prove it.”Clara leaned back, skeptical. “You’re asking me to believe you over a Hayes? After that bribe story?”Nathan’s jaw tightened, Liam’s lie still stinging. “I didn’t bribe anyone. Victor adopted me because the Hayes family threw me out.”Clara’s brow arched. “Convenient timing. Why should I trust you?”Nathan’s chest burned, but he pushed forward. “The evidence speaks for itself. Check the accounts. It’s all there.”Before Clara could respond, Nathan’s phone b

At Victor's library, Nathan sat at a brown oak table in Victor’s library, surrounded by shelves of books and the glow of his laptop. New evidence of Liam’s fraud: more hidden accounts, more illegal trades, stared back at him. He leaned forward, his heart pounding, ready to plan his next move.Victor stood nearby, scanning a document. “This is gold,” he said, voice low. “Enough to sink Liam for good.”Nathan nodded, fingers flying over the keyboard. “I’m compiling it now. I’ll hit him where it hurts, publicly and undeniably.”Victor’s eyes glinted. “Make it tight, Hayes will try to spin this.”Nathan’s phone buzzed, a news alert flashing. “Nathan Kane Suspected of Hacking Hayes Telecom Systems.” Mr. Hayes’ accusation, bold and public, claiming Nathan stole the evidence. Shareholders were already turning, comments online branding him a criminal. His chest tightened, anger flaring.“He’s lying again,” Nathan said, voice sharp, shoving the phone toward Victor. “Hacking? He’s covering for

In the city's all elite meeting,Nathan stood at the head of Victor’s boardroom, facing a row of investors, their eyes bright and skeptical. His laptop projected Liam’s fraud evidence of dates, trades, hidden accounts onto a screen. “Liam Hayes has been defrauding Hayes Telecom for years,” Nathan said, pointing to the screen. “These records prove it—illegal trades, siphoned profits. He’s not who you think.”Investor James leaned forward, frowning. “That’s a bold claim, Nathan. You’re sure this isn’t… manipulated?”Nathan’s jaw tightened. “It’s verified. Cross-check the accounts. Liam’s the one lying.”James nodded, hesitant. “We’ll need to review—”The door burst open, and Liam strode in, a smug grin plastered on his face, holding a tablet. “Review this first,” he said, voice sharp. “Nathan’s been spying on Hayes Telecom, stealing data for Victor. Corporate espionage.”Nathan’s heart sank, the accusation hitting like a punch. “That’s a lie,” he snapped, turning to the investors. “He’s

The week after, Nathan sat in Victor’s library, surrounded by the legal team, their laptops humming. He reviewed the final draft of the court challenge against Liam, packed with evidence of offshore accounts, insider trading records, and undeniable proof. He signed the document, with a pounding heart.Sarah, the lead lawyer, nodded. “This is rock-solid, Nathan. Liam’s finished.”Nathan’s jaw tightened. “Good. File it today. Let’s bury him.”Victor, standing nearby, clapped his shoulder. “You’re taking him apart. Hayes won’t know what hit them.”Nathan’s voice was steady. “They’ve lied long enough. This ends it.”Sarah gathered the papers. “We’re filing now. The court's set for next week.”The next week, Nathan’s phone buzzed, a news alert flashing. “Liam Hayes Arrested for Fraud at Airport.” His breath caught, the screen showing Liam in handcuffs, cameras swarming as he was dragged from a private jet. The headline called it a failed escape, his fraud exposed. Nathan’s heart raced, sho
