The Assassination Attempt
POV: Ethan ColeI just know definitely that. Marcus was targeted because he's the financial genius keeping Cole Industries profitable despite Thomas's attacks. Remove Marcus, and our company becomes vulnerable to hostile takeover.My guts are never wrong.Adrian tracked the assassins to a hotel near Marcus and Lily's apartment, two former military contractors, hired through intermediaries that traced back to Cross Industries' security budget.Thomas was using corporate funds to pay for murder, buried through enough shell companies that proving it legally would take months.We didn't have months.The hit was scheduled for tonight when Marcus left work."I can eliminate them preemptively," Adrian said, his voice cold.
