Chapter 97
Later that night, Michael's phone buzzed with a private, encrypted text message. “Meet me at the abandoned docks. Warehouse 12. Come alone. – Janet” Twenty minutes later, Michael pulled his car into the shadow of Warehouse 12 near the Eastport harbor. Cold wind blew off the ocean as he stepped inside the vast, empty structure. Janet emerged from the darkness, wearing a heavy dark trench coat, her black butterfly tattoo faintly visible under the dim overhead bulb. "You look like a man who just discovered that billionaires are all snakes, Michael," Janet said with a faint, dry smirk. "Lord Christopher used my scandal to launch a hostile takeover on Carrick," Michael said, leaning against a wooden crate. "I was just a pawn between two rich megalomaniacs." "I told you from day one, Michael—in this city, money drinks blood," Janet replied, her tone turning deeply serious. "Which is why I brought you here tonight. I heard you gave Susan a forty-eight-hour divorce ultimatum." "

The iron gates of the Sterling estate creaked open as Michael’s car pulled up the long driveway.Armed with his official appointment documents, his new high-income contract, and the police reports proving Susan's criminal body-double fraud, Michael stepped out of his car. He wore a sharp black suit, his posture radiating unyielding authority.He walked straight up the marble steps, pushed open the heavy front doors, and walked into the grand living room.Chief Carrick Sterling was sitting on the leather sofa, sipping scotch, while Susan sat near the fireplace, scrolling through her phone. When they looked up and saw Michael standing in the center of the room, Susan stood up immediately, her face twisting in pure rage."Michael?!" Susan shrieked. "How dare you barge into my father's house after what you did!

An hour after the board meeting ended, Michael pushed open the door to Marcus's private office.Marcus was sitting behind his desk, frantically packing his personal belongings into a cardboard box. His face was red, his hands trembling with anger. When he saw Michael walk in and lock the door behind him, Marcus snapped."What do you want, Michael?!" Marcus spat, throwing a stack of folders into the box. "You won in the boardroom! You got your promotion and your massive paycheck! Are you here to gloat?!"Michael walked up to the desk, leaning his hands flat against the wood. "I'm not here to gloat, Marcus. I'm here to ask you how much Susan Sterling paid you."Marcus froze, his eyes widening in brief terror before he forced a sneer. "I don't know what you're talking about! I was misled by the legal complaint!"Michael pulled out his phone and played a short audio file from Janet's drive. It was a recorded phone call between Marcus and Susan Sterling from two nights ago, where Marcus pr
