part 5
Dominic struck the table again, attempting to display dominance. “This is a calculated emotional manipulation! Audrey has zero operational background! She lacks the data capacity to comprehend these corporate structures!”
“You are entirely correct, Dominic,” I countered smoothly. “I did not participate in your operational updates. And because I stayed out of your mainframe, you failed to sanitize your tracking data.”
I popped the latch on the black folder. Robert Sterling immediately began distributing verified forensic bundles to every director: corporate bank statements, international wire logs, backdated shell company invoices, and encrypted communications. Every single document carried a digital timestamp, Dominic’s executive signature, and the exact routing markers. I systematically detailed how Dominic had funneled millions in corporate capital to fund luxury lifestyles and systematically wired assets to dummy corporations owned completely by Valerie’s immediate family.
A legacy director reviewed the compliance ledger, his face completely pale. “These media agencies have zero operational footprint. They are entirely hollow shell corporations.”
“Precisely,” Robert Sterling stated. “The transaction frequency matches the exact legal definition of systematic corporate embezzlement.”
Dominic stood up, slick with sweat, his tailored suit looking suddenly loose. “This data is completely fabricated! These are strategic marketing investments! Audrey is weaponizing personal marital disputes to execute a hostile takeover because our relationship concluded!”
I didn’t alter my frequency by a single hertz. “Then let’s audit your strategic investments utilizing your own voice capture.”
I synchronized my terminal to the main boardroom projector. The massive screen flickered awake, displaying the high-definition night footage from the CEO suite lamp. There sat Dominic and Valerie on the executive sofa. The clarity left zero room for interpretation. First came their shared laughter, followed by Valerie’s explicit demand to have me evicted from the brownstone.
Then, Dominic’s voice filled the boardroom with an insufferable, clinical coldness:
“The exact moment the capital from Northstar Capital clears into our primary account, we route the core infrastructure assets directly to the shell agencies. Apex will be left holding the toxic debt liabilities, Audrey will execute the divorce decree under financial starvation pressure, and we exit the jurisdiction entirely clean.”
Nobody drew oxygen. The tape continued to run, capturing his explicit strategy to strip my father’s life’s work down to a hollow frame.

When I paused the feed, Mr. Beltrán’s face was completely red with an immense corporate rage. He turned his eyes slowly toward Dominic. “Charles opened the vault doors of his home to you, Dominic. He granted you his name, his trust, and his unearned respect. And you attempted to liquidate his very memory.”
The Chairman of the Audit Committee immediately raised his hand. “I move for the immediate suspension of Dominic Vance from all executive duties as CEO, the total termination of his network credentials, the freezing of his corporate accounts, and the immediate transfer of this forensic archive to the federal authorities.”
