That night, Rebecca called me.
—Elena, we found something else.
I moved away from Maya's bed.
—Dime.
—Sterling Consulting didn't just receive money. They also tried to access confidential information about our contracts.
I felt my heart pounding in my chest.
-So that?
—We don't know yet. But there's another person involved.
-Who?
Rebecca took a deep breath.
—Victor Hale.
I immediately recognized the name.
Victor had worked as an external consultant for our company.
We fired him a year ago after detecting irregularities in his reports.
—What does this have to do with Chloe?
—They appear together as representatives in several documents.
The next morning, I received an unexpected visit.
It was Daniel Mercer, my company's corporate lawyer.
He sat down opposite me with a grave expression.
—Elena, we need to review something related to Maya's accident.
I felt my heart stop.
—What's happening?
Daniel opened a folder.
—The company that owns the truck that crashed into your car has business ties with a company controlled by Victor Hale.
