Chapter 2 – The Empire They Tried to Steal
The following morning, Daniel entered Hale Global Headquarters.
No one expected him.
Especially Marcus.
His brother was already sitting in the CEO chair.
"My condolences," Marcus said with fake sympathy.
"You should stay at the hospital."
Daniel smiled.
"I came for the board meeting."
Marcus laughed.
"You haven't worked here in eighteen months."
"I don't need to."
Daniel placed a black folder on the conference table.
"The board requested a forensic audit before I came home."
Confused faces filled the room.
Daniel opened the folder.
Every forged document.
Every offshore account.
Every illegal transfer.
Every fake medical authorization.
One by one.
Silence spread across the room.
The company's chief legal officer finally spoke.
"This is enough evidence for criminal prosecution."
Marcus slammed the table.
"He's lying!"
Daniel pressed a button on the remote.
Security footage appeared.
Marcus entering Elena's bedroom.
Victoria carrying a syringe.
A private physician preparing injections.
Date.
Time.
Everything recorded.
Marcus turned pale.
"You hacked the system!"
"No."
