CHAPTER 151 PART 2
He walked right up to Gerald, getting in his face. "You're a liability now, Gerald. A weak link. And weak links in my organization get severed before they cause more damage."Gerald went pale. "Mr. Devoe, I've been loyal to you for years—""Loyal?" Chris laughed bitterly. "You call this loyalty? Bringing me failure after failure? Making me look weak and stupid? Exposing me to legal consequences and family disgrace?"He stepped back, his expression cold now instead of simply angry. "The only reason I haven't cut you loose already is because you know too much about my operations. But don't mistake that for job security, Gerald. It just means I need to decide the best way to handle your... disposal."The word "disposal" hung in the air like a threat. Gerald felt sweat beading on his forehead. He'd worked with dangerous people before, had seen what happened to those who became liabilities. He'd never expected to be in that position himself."What makes this worse," Chris continued, moving
CHAPTER 151 PART 1
Chris Devoe's office was on the top floor of the Devoe Industries building—a sprawling glass and steel structure that dominated the downtown skyline. The office itself was ostentatiously decorated with expensive art, imported furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city like a throne room surveying its kingdom.But right now, none of that opulence mattered.Chris stood behind his massive mahogany desk, his face contorted with rage, his hands trembling with barely controlled fury. Gerald Roden had just finished explaining the day's events at Whitewater Corporation—Linda's spectacular failure, Pervis's methodical destruction of the accusations, the evidence that had turned the entire office against their planted agent.For a moment, Chris just stood there, breathing heavily, his jaw clenched so tight it looked painful. Then, with a roar of pure rage, he swept his arms across his desk, sending documents, pens, his laptop, his coffee mug—everything—flying across the ro
CHAPTER 150 PART 2
At the mention of Alicia's name, Pervis felt his face warm slightly. Aria noticed immediately and smiled knowingly."Speaking of Alicia," Aria said, her tone shifting to something more personal, "I wanted to discuss her situation with you.""Her situation?" Pervis asked cautiously."Her mother's surgery is scheduled for this week," Aria said. "I've made sure she has the time off she needs and that the medical team understands this is a priority case. Full VIP treatment, the best surgeons, comprehensive post-operative care.""That's very generous of you,"
CHAPTER 150 PART 1
Aria walked back to her desk, pulling out her phone to make a note about tomorrow's emergency board meeting. "You're absolutely right about cleaning house, Pervis. I've been wanting to do this for months, but I needed someone I could trust completely to help lead the charge. Someone who understands what we're trying to build here, not just someone protecting their own interests."She looked up at him with a slight smile. "I'll help you in any way possible. Whatever resources you need, whatever support you require—consider it done. We're family, and family protects each other. Especially when we're taking on entrenched corruption."Pervis felt a weight lift from his shoulders at her words. He'd been prepared to do this alone if necessary, but having Aria's full support—her authority as CEO, her resources, her strategic mind—made everything significantly more viable."There is one thing I need immediately," Pervis said. "A private investigator. Someone trustworthy and efficient. Someone
CHAPTER 149 PART 2
Linda's face went pale as the full scope of her situation became clear. She couldn't accept the demotion—her pride wouldn't allow it. But she couldn't refuse it either without losing her job entirely. And finding new employment with her now-infamous reputation would be nearly impossible.She was trapped. Completely, utterly trapped by consequences of her own making."This is Tyler's fault," Linda whispered, but there was no conviction in her voice anymore. "All of this is his fault.""No," Jennifer Park said firmly. "This is your fault, Linda. You lied. You harassed people. You tried to destroy an innocent person. And now you're facing consequences. That's not Tyler's fault. That's yours."Linda stood there for another moment, swaying slightly, her mind clearly struggling to process the complete destruction of everything she'd built. Then, without another word, she turned and fled down the hallway, her sobs echoing behind her.The crowd watched her go in silence. Then, one by one, the
CHAPTER 149 PART 1
Within an hour of the confrontation, Pervis had compiled everything—the security footage showing Linda's harassment of male coworkers, the videos of the office mob attack, audio recordings of the false accusations, and witness statements from the few employees who hadn't participated in the harassment.He forwarded it all to HR, copied Aria and the legal department, and included a formal complaint documenting every single person who'd participated in the hostile work environment and spread defamatory accusations without evidence.The response was swift and brutal.By early afternoon, Margaret Palmer from HR had convened an emergency disciplinary hearing. The offending employees were called in one by one—Michael Roberts, Sarah Chen, Tom Bradford, David Kim, Jennifer Park, and a dozen others who'd enthusiastically joined the mob.They emerged from those meetings pale-faced and shaken, carrying written warnings that would remain in their permanent employment records. Some received mandat
