Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152 The Reckoning

Draven’s POV

"Ryan, I need you to spread the word immediately that Linda has been terminated from Thorne Enterprises," I ordered as we returned to my office. "Contact all our business partners, suppliers, and every establishment we frequent. Make it clear she was trafficking corporate information and had placed spies throughout our network."

"Already on it, Alpha," Ryan replied, pulling out his phone.

"And send Gamma with a team to find Linda. She betrayed not just the company, but our pack. I want her detained for questioning."

"You think she might flee?" Ryan asked.

"After what we’ve uncovered? Absolutely. She’s been Howard’s accomplice all along."

I paced my office, Alaric growling deep within me.

"Alpha Draven, when you were dating that slut Liz, she got along well with Linda, right?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, but later Linda said she was really disappointed in Liz. She never imagined something like that could happen and didn’t want to see her again. Why?"

"Because I’m starting to think your reunion with Liz wasn’t a coincidence!" Kyle voiced her suspicions.

"That’s impossible..." I commented.

"Totally possible, Draven," Ryan agreed with Kyle.

"I’ll look into this. Liz’s mom goes to my sister’s salon," Kyle concluded.

"Besides,I’ve arranged for Howard and Ella to be here in thirty minutes," Kyle reported."The conference room is prepared."

"Perfect. Get Ava to compile all the evidence we’ve gathered," I instructed. "I want a comprehensive presentation ready when they arrive."

Ryan hung up his call. "Gamma has dispatched a team to Linda’s residence. And I’ve notified our key business contacts about Linda’s termination."

"Excellent. One more thing,contact the Social Club casino and have Leila removed immediately."

Kyle raised an eyebrow. "You think Linda’s network extends that far?"

"I’m certain of it. This is like a cancer that’s spread throughout our operations."

"What about Bruno?" Ryan asked.

"Have him brought in as well. The poor bastard deserves to know he was being used."

An hour later, I sat at the head of the conference table with Ryan and my pack lawyer beside me. Howard entered first, looking smug as always, followed by his wife and daughter.

"Draven, darling!" Ella squealed, moving to embrace me. "You’ve been so busy lately. I’ve missed you terribly!"

I stepped away from her touch. "Have a seat, Ella."

Her smile faltered at my cold tone, but she complied.Howard glanced around nervously.

"I assume this meeting is about the mating agreement?" he asked.

"Not quite," I replied as Bruno was escorted in. The young man looked confused, especially when he spotted Ella, whose face immediately darkened.

"What is he doing here?" she hissed.

"Clarity," I answered simply. "Kyle, please begin."

Kyle dimmed the lights and started the presentation. First came the footage from the party with Clayton’s confession about the drugged whiskey. Then the security camera footage showing Ella slipping into my office afterward, followed by the medical reports confirming the false pregnancy.

By the time the lights came back on, Howard’s face had turned purple with rage, while Ella sat frozen, eyes wide with panic.
