The following morning Maxwell woke before the alarm.

The first thing in his mind was the research he did yesterday. And although he didn't find all the names of the potential rivals to Sterling Industries, he did find one of them, the Lee family.

Maxwell was adamant on finding out all the names that have had disagreements or any issues with Sterling Industries in the past before, as that could be the same people who did business with Frank. And he was going to look for them, but first, Maxwell

    There were no scandals, and no obvious ties to industrial sabotage. Instead, the top result was a Forbes profile from two years ago. Below that were a few industry quotes about modernizing legacy businesses and a high-resolution photo from a prominent charity gala. In the image, Damon Lee stood in a flawless, dark designer suit, wearing an easy, relaxed smile. It was the kind of face that read as completely harmless. But Maxwell wasn't fooled by that. From his experience, people who tried very hard to look perfect were the least perfect. They had something to hide most of the times. And looking at Damon's perfect profile on the internet it was definitely giving Maxwell the feeling that he has something to hide. Maxwell leaned forward, his elbows resting on the desk as he read through the Forbes profile line by line.The article painted a vivid picture: Damon Lee, thirty-four. Grandson of the Lee Group patriarch. The writer described him in glowing terms as a visionary operator who

    Julian was quiet after Isobelle spoke. Despite being cold and calculating Julian had always been an honest person. And he had always followed the rules, but after losing to Maxwell, he realized now that he couldn't play fair anymore if he wanted to take Sterling Industries back. His cousin had the full support of the board. Julian's usual way of thinking began to change.He agreed with Isobelle, playing fair was not going to change anything. Without saying a word, he grabbed his coat and walked out of the executive suite quickly, and Isobelle followed closely behind him. They avoided the main lobby and took the private elevator straight down to the garage.Julian was still furious about losing the board meeting. He opened the driver's door and got inside, looking bitter. Isobelle got into the passenger seat next to him and shut the door."I don't care what those files showed," Julian said, gripping the steering wheel. He looked at her, completely losing his usual professional compo

    When Victoria and Natasha walked into the conference room, they could sense that something had just happened."Ma'am, you've just missed something the board will be discussing for a long time," someone sitting across the table responded. He cleared his throat and added, "Julian challenged Mr. Sterling this morning to publicly prove his role in the Lexus Corporation turnaround. Julian brought in Mr. Quinn here, a forensic auditor with twenty years of federal experience, to examine the documents Mr. Sterling provided. Mr. Quinn has just delivered his findings."He paused, glanced at Quinn, then back at Victoria."The documents are authentic. The recovery strategy that saved Lexus Corporation was written and executed by Mr. Sterling personally, at around twenty years of age. The Lexus family took the public credit for work he had done."Victoria's expression did not change. But her eyes moved, just slightly, back to Julian. She already knew of this information so it was not surprising to

    "For the benefit of everyone who doesn't do this for a living," he said, his voice calm and clear, "I'm going to walk you through what I am doing as I do it. That way nobody has to take my word for anything later."He turned the screen slightly so the nearest directors could see it."First thing I do is check when each file was actually created. Not when it says it was created on the surface, which anyone with five minutes and a tutorial can change. I am looking at the deeper record, the one the computer writes for itself in the background. That record is much harder to fake. In most cases it is impossible to fake without leaving fingerprints."He clicked through several files in succession."These files were created between January and November of the year Lexus Corporation went through its restructuring. The dates are consistent. The deeper record matches the surface record on every file I have opened. If somebody had backdated these documents recently, the two records would not lin

    At Sterling industries, the board conference was already gathering by the time Maxwell arrived. The senior people including directors and shareholders and various other people from different divisions of the company were filing into the long executive room, settling into their leather chairs, opening laptops and pouring coffee, the low chatter of pre-meeting conversation filled the space. Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows and ran the length of the polished table.Maxwell walked in with the laptop under his arm and his expression unreadable.Hazel walked in with him into the conference room.“Do you need anything?” She asked politely, “I don't think so,” Maxwell responded. Hazel nodded and went to sit down. Maxwell looked in front of him, and saw that Julian was already there. Good. Everything was going according to plan. His cousin had clearly been waiting for him, because the moment Maxwell crossed the threshold, Julian pushed off the wall he'd been leaning a

Maxwell was adamant on finding out all the names that have had disagreements or any issues with Sterling Industries in the past before, as that could be the same people who did business with Frank. And he was going to look for them, but first, Maxwell was going to start with the Lee family. He lay still for a moment as the early light spread pale and clean across the penthouse floor, and let the day assemble itself in his head.Then his thoughts turned to the day ahead.As much as he wanted to focus all his thoughts on the investigation, today he had the board conference. And Julian, waiting for proof of his role in the Lexus turnaroundHe got up without rushing. He showered, dressed, and chose the darker of his two suits. He looked handsom
