Chapter Forty One
Elias read the message for a moment before typing back.Elias: Rhodes.It didn’t take long before the typing bubbles appeared again.Loid: It’s messy. Took a while to narrow it down, but I found a few people who might’ve been behind the Rhodes contracts.Elias: Go on.Loid: Three names overlap between Rhodes and Halberg’s old financial trails.First — Callen Drew. Used to be a systems consultant for Halberg. Resigned a month before the audits vanished. Now runs a “logistics and evaluation” front. Most of Rhodes’s invoice transfers route through him.Second — Maris Kettle, procurement lead back then. Had signing authority over some of those vendor contracts.Third — Javier Holt, offshore handler tied to Drew’s shell accounts. Smaller amounts, but same pattern.Loid’s messages came in three bursts, successively.Loid: Of the three, Drew’s the one that fits. The dates, the money flow and everything, lines up. I’m sending you his file now. Basic background, past employers, and account tra
Chapter Forty Two
A call came from Lina just as Elias finished reading.“Mr. Grant?” Lina called out urgently. “Linar Group is here. You asked me to inform you once they responded.”Elias was silent. This client was their current one from that assignment. They had only just accepted the project and requested contact with the client.He had no intention of keeping on with Aureus PR when he had already gotten what he needed from the laptop. Anyway, there wasn’t much he could do since he wasn’t truly a PR consultant.“Have Colin meet them,” he responded lightly. “He’s in charge of client correspondence.”“I don’t think that will work, sir,” Lina answered hesitantly. “They asked for the senior crisis staff specifically. It seems to be a confidential case.”Elias went silent.After a couple of seconds, he finally told her, “Prepare the meeting room. I’ll be there soon.”“Yes, sir.”He ended the call and proceeded to get ready.In the end, he decided to go.After all, he had already acted out of character by

Lina waited quietly as Elias processed the name.He exhaled once, slow and controlled, before speaking.“Tell her I’m not available.”Lina blinked. “Should I—”“Yes.” His tone left no room for interpretation.As the door shut behind her, Elias leaned back slightly, thinking it through.Since she and Sebastian had been accused of having an affair, then at the very least, they must have been close to some extent. Appearing in front of her now—acting differently, speaking differently—was a risk. She might notice something was off. And if she became suspicious enough to talk…No. Best to avoid her altogether.He intended to return to the Linar case immediately, but Lina came back almost as soon as she’d left.“Sir.” She looked troubled. “She said she won’t leave unless she speaks with you.”Elias paused.Then Lina stepped aside, rolling down the blinds that covered the small glass panel beside the door.“...You should see this.”Through the blind slats, he saw the young woman sitting in t

Claire’s words landed like a thin blade across the tense room.“If you won’t help me… then can you afford the consequences if I reveal what I know?”Elias was silent.He turned calmly and met her gaze.Unlike earlier, the tears had disappeared, and she now had a sharp glint in her eyes.Good, he thought. He’d take this over the crocodile tears.But outwardly, he showed no reaction. Not even a flicker of annoyance.Claire stood there, tense, waiting for him to say something. She knew her boss—or rather, ex-boss—was smarter than most people gave him credit for. He wouldn’t take the threat lightly.But that was truly her only leverage. She had no choice but to use it.Just as she was beginning to lose her composure under the intense look he was giving her, the man suddenly spoke,“Do whatever you want.”He said it straightforwardly, as if her threat were nothing more than another irrelevant noise in the room.Claire’s breath caught, her eyes widening. She had clearly not expected him to
