    The admission confirms my worst fears about the position I've placed her in. By asking her to investigate Derek and Olivia, I've turned her into a potential target while compromising her professional standing. If Derek discovers her searches, he could have her fired for unauthorized access, ensuring

    Geneva. Asset redistribution. Contingency plans. The phrases swirl in my mind as I read through the entire thread, each exchange revealing additional layers of coordination between Derek, Olivia, and unnamed external parties. References to account access, documentation preparation, and something cal

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 136

    Derek Wolfe's communication patterns emerge first, predictable in their professional efficiency. Client emails follow standard templates, internal memos maintain appropriate corporate tone, scheduling confirmations arrive with clockwork regularity. But threaded through these routine exchanges are an

    "I hope not," I say simply. "But I need to be certain." She nods slowly, understanding passing between us without the need for explicit explanation. Her pen returns to the paper, capturing the parameters of her assignment with renewed focus. "Complete discretion," she repeats, more to herself than
