Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: From Asylum To Billionaire CEO Chapter 74: The Route That Wasn't Listed
Emily's PovI did not put the payment record down. The route recorded against it was not the route named in the original request. That difference was now the question. A different route might be innocent. It might not.I did not call the department responsible. I did not accuse anyone. I called Hale."I want the complete processing history for this payment. The original record, not a summary.""What do you need in it?""The department that initiated it. The submission date and time. The account or system it entered through. Who or what role submitted it, who reviewed it, who authorised it, and who processed it. Any additional approval required. Any exception or manual intervention. The final processing date and time.""The report only shows the route it passed through," Hale said. "It doesn't hold every stage.""Then retrieve the original from the department that handles payment processing. And I want the procedure that applied when the payment was made. Not the one in use today."Whi
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: From Asylum To Billionaire CEO Chapter 73: The Reason Behind the Reference
Emily's PovI was still holding the phone. The original submission was kept outside the department's current records."Where exactly, and which office maintains it?" I asked."Older departmental submissions were moved into a separate administrative records collection during the restructuring.""Was this one moved in the ordinary process, or because someone requested it?""I can't confirm that from the department's records.""Then I need the transfer reference and the name of the receiving office. I don't want a summary. I want the original submission and any correspondence attached to it."He agreed to check. I wrote everything down and read my list. The reference had been created shortly before the disputed payments began. It had come from an operational department in the Eastern Division. The senior administrative authority had approved it. The person who submitted the request was still unknown.Someone might have stored the file separately on purpose. It might also have followed th
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: From Asylum To Billionaire CEO Chapter 72: The Trail Outside the Archive
Emily's PovI read the message a third time. The original archive log existed. Access required approval from the senior administrative authority.An informal request would not move this. I knew that. I also knew I could not accuse anyone of withholding records. The person controlling access to historical documents might have every right to do so.But I could not let my investigation depend entirely on the cooperation of someone whose decisions were part of it.I called the administrative office. "I want formal access to the original archive log. What is the procedure?""The request must be submitted in writing," the administrator said. "It must state the reason for access and the specific records required. The responsible authority reviews it before release.""Will it be recorded? Will I receive written confirmation of its status?""Yes.""Then I'll submit it today."I set out the scope in numbered lines. The original archive log connected to the retained permission approval. The reco

Emily's PovI set the technical department's report on my desk and picked up the phone."This is Emily Grant," I told the administrative office. "I'd like to meet the person responsible for maintaining the division's archived approval records. This morning, if possible."The line went quiet for a moment. Then a calm voice agreed to ten o'clock. It did not ask why I wanted to see them. I noted that, and I did not read anything into it yet.I called Hale in next. "I need the full administrative structure, including the reporting lines of that office.""It maintains records from previous administrative periods," he said. "It also handles the transfer of certain approval documents.""Does it hold the original permission records the technical department couldn't retrieve?""It should. I can't confirm which records are available until they check.""Then I want the originals. Not another summary." I paused. "And I want the records showing who approved the continuation of permissions after th
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: From Asylum To Billionaire CEO Chapter 70: The Access They Left Behind
Emily's PovI laid the technical department's report beside the organisational records and read the name again.The employee had held a role in the division's administrative structure before I arrived. They still held a role now. The two positions were not identical, but they were close. Their name appeared beside dozens of routine entries."I want a meeting with them," I told Hale. "I want information, not a confrontation.""They've been with the division for years," he said. "They've served under more than one administration.""Long service isn't wrongdoing." I slid a note across the desk. "Before the meeting, I need their complete access history covering the period before the disputed payments, including every change to their permissions. I also want their job description, their previous responsibilities, and their current reporting line.""Of course.""Did their permissions change when I took over?"Hale paused and opened his tablet. He scrolled, then closed it again. "I can't giv
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: From Asylum To Billionaire CEO Chapter 69: The Records They Tried to Hide
Emily's PovI turned back to the screen. The request still sat there, a department name and an access reference with no person attached."I want the complete request history," I told the technical department. "Submission time, department, access reference, stated reason, and authorisation route."Adrian stood beside me. He did not reach for the phone. He let me work. He was giving me the room I had asked for.The answer came within the hour. The request had been submitted through an internal departmental access account. It identified the department but not the individual who had used it."Why was it made before my instruction?" I asked."We can't say," the technician replied. "The request describes a financial archive, but the stated reason is incomplete.""A general explanation isn't enough. I want the original request form, the approval trail, and the name of everyone who had access to that account at the time.""Understood.""Do not cancel the request. Do not let the archive be mov
