Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 41

Over the span of five years, Melody and the finance department had been secretly funneling funds, siphoning off tens of millions from the company.

Gael and Evelyn worked seamlessly together, both in the open and behind the scenes, finally gathering all the concrete evidence.

Faced with irrefutable proof, the finance director, Joanne, immediately lost her nerve and pointed the finger squarely at Melody. They broke into a screaming match right then and there.

The spectacle of two vultures tearing each other apart made for an incredibly entertaining show in the conference room. Gael told Evelyn to hold her phone steady and record the whole thing so they could upload it online later, maybe even buy some trending traffic to make Melody famous for free.

Hester sat at the head of the table, arms crossed, coldly watching Melody and Joanne tear each other to shreds.

Gael had already called the police. Melody and Joanne were suspected of corporate embezzlement. With tens of millions involved, it was more than enough to keep them locked away for over a decade.

When the authorities arrived, Gael handed over the evidence. Shortly after, Melody and Joanne were escorted out in handcuffs.

With that, an eerie atmosphere descended upon the entire company. Melody's sudden downfall sent absolute panic through the employees who had previously taken her side and openly opposed Hester!

By now, it was already past clock-out time. The staff gradually headed home, but across the company's various group chats, every department was exploding with gossip about Melody's arrest.

Evelyn's phone was freezing up from the sheer volume of messages. Everyone was trying to fish for information. After all, she was now Hester's assistant, the key player who had helped Hester and Gael investigate Melody over the past few weeks. Everyone assumed she had to know the inside scoop.

But Evelyn completely ignored them. Even if she did know Hester's next moves, she wouldn't have told them anyway. They were nothing but a bunch of spineless opportunists who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Evelyn knew someone as decisive and sharp as Hester would never tolerate them.

Sure enough, barely an hour after Melody and Joanne were taken away, an HR notice was blasted across the internal system.
