The boardroom was already filled when Mrs. Carter and I walked up to the doors. Elias was speaking. I could tell by the tone. He was sounding too confident.
Mrs. Carter didn’t slow down.
She pushed the doors open hard enough that they slammed against the wall.
Every head turned as we walked into the boardroom.
The board members froze. Elias stopped mid.sentence. Clara, who was sitting two seats to his right, went pale the second she saw us.
No one said a word as Mrs. Carter marched straight toward the long table and dropped a thick file in front of Elias. I shut the door behind us and stepped closer.
Elias stared at his Mrs. Carter first, then at me.
“What is this?” he asked.
Mrs. Carter didn’t sit. “You’ll see.”
He glanced around at the board, searching for support, trying to stay composed. “We’re in the middle of a meeting.”
Mrs. Carter didn’t blink. “Then this is the perfect time.”
She looked at me. “Open it.”
I reached over, flipped the file open, and turned the first few pages toward the board.
The room went silent again.
Screenshots. Emails. Video snippets. Transaction logs with Clara’s name, Elias‘ name, and the funds that had moved through shell accounts just before every hit against Daniel, Brian, and me.
Clara’s chair scraped back as she tried to stand.
“Sit down,” Mrs. Carter said sharply.
Clara sat without saying anything.
Elias cleared his throat. “This looks edited. Anyone can-
“The files came from your office computer,” Mrs. Carter cut in. “Your personal drive. Pulled by the company’s internal security team. No one edited anything.”
He swallowed hard.
I stepped closer to the table and pushed the next set of documents toward him. “These show the money you

approved for the private investigators who followed me. Watched me. Reported to Clara.”
Clara flinched. “I didn’t-”
I held up a hand. “Don’t talk to me.”

Elias pushed the papers aside, trying to look calm even as his fingers trembled. “This isn’t what it looks like.”
“Yes, it is,” Mrs. Carter said. “Every time you sabotaged a project. Every time you leaked details about Daniel. Every time you created doubt in this board–your fingerprints are right here.”
One of the board members leaned forward. “Elias… is this real?”
Elias didn’t answer.
I slid my phone onto the table and tapped a video. The screen lit up with Elias and Clara in the hallway outside the finance department. His voice was clear:
“Make sure it goes through Clara’s account first. I don’t want anyone linking it back to me.”
Clara’s: “And Amy? What do we do if she gets too close?”
Elias: “We’ll handle her.”
The board erupted in whispers.
Elias stood up quickly. “This is taken out of context-”
“Sit,” Mrs. Carter snapped.
He froze. His jaw tightened, then he sat.
“This wasn’t an accident,” I said, staring straight at him. “Everything you did was intentional. You kept escalating because you thought no one would check. And because you wanted control.”
Elias opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.
“I lost count of how many times you tried to undermine us. How many times you used Clara to do your dirty work. How many times you tried to twist things so I’d look unstable.”
I stepped closer, my hands pressed against the table. “But this “I pointed at the evidence. “This is the part that matters most.”
Mrs. Carter reached into her bag and pulled out another envelope. She placed it in front of Elias.
“These are the hospital reports,” she said. “And the footage of the tampering with Amy’s car.”
The board went still.
Elias‘ eyes widened for a split second. That alone told me enough.
“You tried to scare me,” I said quietly. “But you didn’t think you’d actually put my baby at risk.”
The air shifted immediately. Even the board members who had been neutral looked sickened.

Clara whispered, “I didn’t know—”
“Don’t lie,” I said sharply.
My voice cracked at the end, and I hated that he heard it.
“You could have killed her.”

Elias‘ hands clenched on the table. “I never wanted-” He tried to feign innocence but Mrs. Carter cut him
short.
“You wanted Daniel out. You wanted power. You hated that Amy supported him. You hated that his father trusted him. So you started playing games you couldn’t control.”
Elias pushed his chair back and stood again. “Let’s talk privately-”
“No,” she said. “This family has hidden too much behind closed doors. They deserve to hear the truth.”
I stepped around the table, right in front of him. Close enough that he had no choice but to look at me.
“I need you to listen to me,” I said, my voice low. “If anything happens to my baby because of everything you set in motion… you will pay for it. And I’m not talking about board consequences. I mean legally. Publicly. Personally.”
His expression twisted–some mix of guilt, fear, and anger.
“Amy, I didn’t touch your car,” he said. “I didn’t order that. I swear-”
“But you created the chain of events,” I shot back. “You kept working with Clara. You kept hiring people who didn’t care about limits. You knew exactly what you were doing. You set the tone. You just didn’t think it would reach this point.”
Clara suddenly stood up again. “I didn’t mean for anything to get dangerous. I swear I didn’t—”
Mrs. Carter’s voice cut through her panic. “Clara, we have your transfers. Your messages. Your involvement is already clear.”
Clara’s face crumpled. “Elias said-”
“I said stop talking,” Elias snapped at her.
“Don’t raise your voice at her,” I said. “You used her. Just like you used everyone else.”
He turned back to me. “You don’t understand-”
“I understand perfectly,” I replied.
The room stayed silent for a long moment.
Then one of the board members spoke. “We need to vote on immediate expulsion.”
Another cleared his throat. “There’s no need to drag this out. The evidence is overwhelming.”

Elias looked around, panicking.

“You’re basing this on–on what? Some files? A video clip? Tell them—”
Mrs. Carter shook her head slowly. “I can’t protect you from this.”
My stomach tightened, and a wave of pain hit again. I held onto the edge of the table until it passed.
Elias noticed. “You’re… you’re in pain?”
“That’s because of everything you triggered,” I said.
Mrs. Carter turned to the board. “You have everything you need. Continue.”
The board members nodded and began organizing documents and preparing the formal vote.
