“Is everything ready?” Emily Blair got straight to the point as she walked in.
Lucas Cox looked exhilarated. He slapped a thick stack of documents onto the desk in front of her. “This is all the evidence of Ryan Cox embezzling company funds.”
Emily took the pile and flipped through it without much ceremony. “Let me have a look.”
Dark circles shadowed Lucas’s eyes, proof of many sleepless nights spent assembling the case. Still, excitement radiated from him as he shot a sharp, eager glance at Samuel Walker, who stood quietly behind Emily.
“So, this is the corporate spy Ryan Cox planted at Vertex International?” Lucas asked.
Samuel’s face was ashen. He looked down, shoulders slumped in defeat.
“Yes,” Emily replied coolly. “Where’s Ryan Cox now?”
Lucas rubbed his palms together, settling into the chair across from her. “He’s in the conference room, mid-meeting. If we move fast, we can catch him completely off guard.”
Elizabeth Wilson slid the documents across the table. “I’ve reviewed everything. The evidence checks out, and the seals are all legitimate.”
Emily gave a terse nod, pressing her hand on the stack as she turned her gaze on Lucas.
“I need to ask you again—are you absolutely sure you want to go up against your own father with me?”
Lucas’s eyes narrowed. “So you still don’t trust me?”
Elizabeth gave a dry laugh. “She’s reminding you: If Ryan goes down, your family’s business and stock prices are going to take a hit. Are you sure you’re ready for that?”
