William's hand was reaching for the next page of the folder—the page that would finally reveal who had taken their son twenty-five years ago—when his phone suddenly rang, shattering the tense silence of the hotel suite.

The sharp ringtone made both William and Vanessa jump. William pulled his hand back from the folder and grabbed his phone, ready to silence whoever was interrupting this crucial moment.

But when he saw the caller ID, he froze.

Private Investigator - Marcus Reynolds

This wasn't the same investigator who'd compiled the folder about Pervis's disappearance. This was Marcus Reynolds, the security specialist they'd hired weeks ago to keep tabs on their children back home—to make sure Aria, Cristina, and Grace stayed safe while William and Vanessa were abroad dealing with the painful revelations about their lost son.

"It's Marcus," William said to Vanessa, his voice tight with sudden concern. "The security investigator."

Vanessa's face went pale. "Why would he be calling unle

    Pervis looked at his phone thoughtfully. "Actually, Linda, I have a better question for you. Do you have any evidence to support your accusations? Any proof whatsoever that I harassed you, manipulated Alicia, or did any of the things you've claimed?"Linda's confident expression didn't waver. "I have my testimony! I saw what I saw with my own eyes! I experienced what I experienced!""So no actual evidence," Pervis clarified. "No recordings, no messages, no witnesses who aren't part of this mob, no documentation of any kind. Just your word.""My word is enough!" Linda insisted. "The testimony of a victim is evidence in itself! That's what all the experts say! Believe women! Believe survivors!""Even when they're lying?" Pervis asked mildly."I'M NOT LYING!" Linda screamed, her composure finally cracking. "I know what happened! I know what I saw! I don't need physical evidence because I have the truth in my memory!"She gestured wildly at the crowd. "This is exactly the problem with soc

    He met each person's eyes in turn, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "Don't regret your decisions today. Don't come crying to me later claiming you were misled or pressured or didn't understand what you were doing. You're making a choice right now—to believe Linda's lies, to condemn me without evidence, to participate in what will ultimately be revealed as a malicious mob attack on an innocent person.""We won't regret anything!" the crowd shouted back."Because we're right!""Because you're guilty!""Because justice is on our side!"Linda was practically glowing with satisfaction now. She took several steps closer to Pervis, invading his personal space in a way that was clearly meant to be intimidating or provocative. Her chest—clearly augmented by plastic surgery and deliberately emphasized by her too-tight blouse—was thrust forward as she leaned in close to his face."You're going to regret every single thing you've done to me," Linda hissed, her breath hot against Pervis's

    He paused for effect. "Would you accept the consequences of having believed her? Of having spread her lies? Of having publicly condemned an innocent person?"The crowd shifted uncomfortably, not quite sure where Pervis was going with this."What consequences?" Michael Roberts asked suspiciously."Whatever consequences would be appropriate," Pervis replied. "Public apologies, for starters. Admitting you were wrong. Acknowledging that you participated in spreading malicious falsehoods about a coworker.""We won't need to apologize," Linda interjected confidently. "Because I'm telling the truth! Everything I said about you is real!""Is it?" Pervis asked mildly. "You're absolutely certain? You want to stand by every single accusation you made?""Absolutely!" Linda declared. "Every word! You're a predator, a manipulator, and a violent criminal! And everyone here believes me because they've seen your true colors!""We do believe her!" the crowd agreed."Completely!""Without a doubt!""You

    The office bristled with offense. More people were standing now, drawn by the confrontation, phones out and recording, faces showing varying degrees of hostility and suspicion."You think you're so smart," Michael Roberts said, stepping forward aggressively. "You think you can just slap people around and face no consequences because you've got the Colemans protecting you. But we see through you, Tyler. We know what you really are.""And what's that?" Pervis asked, genuinely curious what they'd come up with."A shameless bottom feeder!" another voice called out—Tom Bradford from HR, ironically. "A penniless nobody trying to claw his way up by any means necessary!""A manipulator!" Sarah Chen added. "Using people's weaknesses against them!""A predator!" someone else shouted."A con artist!""A parasite who latches onto wealthy people and bleeds them dry!""A bastard who has nothing to offer but trouble!"The accusations came faster now, people emboldened by the mob mentality, each tryi

    After Aria left with security escorting the terminated Linda from the building, the office didn't settle into quiet productivity as the CEO had commanded. Instead, the moment the elevator doors closed behind Aria's departing figure, the whispers started again—quieter this time, more cautious, but no less venomous.Pervis sat at his desk, ostensibly focused on his computer screen, but acutely aware of every muttered comment, every suspicious glance, every phone being pulled out to continue documenting what had become the most dramatic morning in Whitewater Corporation's recent history.Linda's accusations—wild and fabricated as they were—had taken root in certain minds. The seeds of doubt had been planted, and now they were growing into something uglier."I don't care what Ms. Coleman said," Michael Roberts was saying to a small cluster of coworkers gathered near the coffee station. "Where there's smoke, there's fire. Linda wouldn't have made those accusations if there wasn't some trut

    The office erupted into chaos the moment Pervis sat down at his desk. What had been shocked silence transformed into a cacophony of outraged voices, coworkers standing up from their cubicles to point accusatory fingers at Pervis."Are you insane?" Michael Roberts shouted, his earlier support of Pervis apparently evaporating now that actual violence had occurred. "You can't just hit people! You can't assault your supervisor in the middle of the office!""That was completely out of line!" Sarah Chen added, her face pale. "I know Linda was wrong to say those things about Alicia, but you can't respond with physical violence! That's not how adults handle conflicts!""He's unhinged," Jennifer Park said to the people around her, her voice carrying across the office. "Completely unhinged. First he gets into fights outside work, now he's attacking people here? He's dangerous!"More voices joined in, building into a chorus of condemnation:"Someone needs to call security!""This is assault! Wor
