Amelia was on and on about her working environment, “Trust me, right now I feel very intimidated by her.” Amelia continued. Emery laughed as she turned the other side of the egg. “So what do you plan to do now?” “Girl, I don't know.

“My integrity,” she shot back. He was already her ex-husband, it made no sense. She could lose everything in this fight. Emery valued her reputation and integrity much more than anything. He chuckled darkly. “Integrity won’t get you your company back, sweetheart. But I will. I have most of the information you need.” This was a true fact, he was aware of all her work progress. Emery’s lips pressed into a thin line. She knew what his words meant, he was compelling her to his demands. Darren’s offer made her stomach churn. Aligning herself with someone like him, a man she didn’t trust, whose motives were just as selfish as those of the people who’d betrayed her, felt like stepping into quicksand or better still trying to run faster than a tornado. Both ways, she becomes the victim. And yet, he wasn’t wrong. She had no network, no funds, no way to expose her stepmother’s web of corruption. Her options were shrinking by the day. Every Investor now was sticking to her because she had i

Emery took a long breath, steadying herself as she approached the board. "If you vote me out now, without due process, you’ll be walking right into the hands of whoever orchestrated this." She looked around, making eye contact with each board member. "Think about it. This scandal emerged out of nowhere. Fabricated documents, leaked reports—these were all geared to destroy my name instantly."A few board members shifted uncomfortably, exchanging glances."My father founded this company from the ground up, and I have dedicated my whole life to its success. And now, when a crisis occurs, you’re willing to believe lies without a rigorous investigation?" She turned toward the legal counsel. "I assume no formal audit has been conducted?"The lawyer hesitated before nodding his head. "Not yet.""Then how can you be so sure these allegations are real?" Emery pushed.

In return we would let the reporter ask half of the questions according to you.” The man put his offer ahead making Emery more shocked. “Are you out

The words Darren spoke sounded strange to her, she raised her eyelids to see his lips moving. She had no idea what he was saying.
