All Chapters of Between Her Shithead And The Wrong Brother : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Ariella’s POVLyra called the early meeting without notice. I arrived first, followed by Marcus and Roe. She dropped a folder on the table and pushed it toward me.“There’s something off in the secondary logistics reports,” she said. Her tone was measured, but I could sense the weight behind it. I opened the file and scanned the highlighted figures.Several invoices reflected inflated transport and customs costs under dormant subsidiary accounts. Marcus leaned closer, running quick calculations beside me. “These amounts are being cycled,” he said.Roe opened his laptop and synced the document with the audit dashboard. The trend was identical across two fiscal quarters. “This pattern isn’t incidental,” he added.I looked up. “Who still has clearance to these subaccounts?” Lyra already had the list ready. Three names, one of them recently reassigned from Isabella’s portfolio.“That one’s a remnant,” Lyra said quietly. “Transferred before the freeze order went into effect.” Marcus frowne

Ariella’s POVRoe arrived before sunrise. His report was short, precise, and heavy. “The transactions were routed through dormant subsidiaries,” he said. I reviewed the document. The same pattern repeated, micro payments, concealed as consultancy fees, all linking back to shell companies tied to Isabella’s remaining network.I called Damon, Marcus, and Lyra to the situation room. Roe projected the full trace on the screen. “She’s been bleeding us in fragments,” he said. The transfers were small enough to evade flags but structured enough to disrupt liquidity. Damon leaned forward, his tone dry. “Freeze all associated accounts before 9 a.m.”Roe moved quickly, sending digital authorizations through the internal banking network. Marcus kept time. “We’ll have a chain reaction once the accounts lock,” he warned. I didn’t care. “Better reaction than depletion,” I said. The command went through. Within minutes, transactions pending under false IDs failed mid-process.The first call came fro

Ariella’s POVThe alerts came before sunrise. Lyra’s message confirmed the traces of unauthorized data movement. Damon was already awake when I arrived at the study.He didn’t ask questions. I gave him the summary, and he nodded. “Contain it quietly,” he said. I agreed. This time, there would be no external noise.By eight, I assembled Marcus, Lyra, and Roe. The internal channel was locked to direct relay. No staff outside the executive level were to be informed. I made it clear, every action from this point would be logged, encrypted, and reviewed personally.Marcus volunteered to isolate the executive network first. Lyra began scanning for file transfer history. Roe initiated background risk analysis. Damon authorized legal clearance under the guise of “corporate continuity audit.”The pattern showed encrypted messages routed through a proxy node. Roe noted timestamps aligning with last week’s board upload sessions. I traced the permissions. Three executives had clearance, two recen

Ariella’s POVThe meeting started before dawn. The boardroom lights were steady, the air measured. Damon sat beside me, his expression unreadable.I began with a single line. “We close every gap today.” The executives understood. No one questioned it.Marcus presented the updated structure. “Operations, Finance, and Strategy now report directly to your office,” he said. I approved the chart without pause. Roe and Lyra exchanged silent notes.Roe confirmed biometric verification for every top-level clearance. No exceptions. I told him, “If anyone hesitates, mark them.” He nodded once.Lyra monitored the internal feeds. “Rumors are minimal. No direct opposition yet.” I answered, “That’s good. Silence works in our favor.”Damon spoke next. “All actions today must pass legal review before execution.” He was precise, his tone neutral. I gave approval immediately.Marcus initiated system purges across operations. Outdated roles were terminated. Access chains were rewritten within the hour.

.Ariella’s POV.Roe confirmed that all accounts were clean, no discrepancies or irregularities. I leaned forward. “We maintain transparency. No internal anomalies. All communication goes through official channels.” Lyra nodded, typing precise responses to institutional partners. Marcus confirmed supply chains and production lines were stable.A sudden alert pinged on my dashboard. “Minor sell-off on shareholder stocks,” I said. Roe responded quickly. “It’s triggered by external rumors. No internal action required yet.” I acknowledged, keeping my tone neutral.I called Lyra to prioritize investor relations messages. “Confirm the integrity of all audited reports. Reassure stakeholders immediately.” She typed rapidly, sending concise statements to key accounts. Marcus monitored operational infrastructure, double-checking network security.The boardroom remained tense. Everyone understood that even minor miscommunication could snowball. I reviewed the latest data, scanning for irregularit
