Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3365

Only Gonzalez remained completely composed at the head of the table. He took calls and handled his daily emails with systematic precision. Seeing his unshakeable calm, the executives who had been worrying about the corporate fallout began to relax and return to their own work.

An hour later, the multi-department investigation reached its conclusion. With Gonzalez's authorization, they projected the damning, verified data onto the boardroom screen for the shareholders and executives to see.

The sheer volume of kickbacks, bribery, and exploitation of his position for personal gain was staggering. Beyond that, he had sold out core corporate secrets and proprietary technology to competitors on multiple occasions. The total financial damage had the entire boardroom gasping in shock.

And that was only the meticulously documented proof. The unverified suspicions, excluded from the presentation, would have pushed the stolen millions far beyond human comprehension.

Oliver's blood ran cold, but he desperately attempted to claw his way out. "I never did any of this! The evidence is forged! Isn't today a little too convenient? How did Kim even get into the executive suite? And my wife—someone tipped her off! This is an obvious, malicious setup!"

"Whether you're innocent or not will be determined by the authorities," Gonzalez stated coolly. He then leveled a meaningful gaze at the rest of the room. "As for the others implicated in these files, I am withholding judgment for now. Your survival depends on your future performance."

Several executives sitting around the table went deathly still, breaking out in cold sweats as they frantically mentally reviewed every illicit order Oliver had ever handed them.

Driven to hysterics, Oliver shouted, "Gonzalez, this is entrapment!"

Ignoring him entirely, Gonzalez turned to the legal department. "File the charges."

The legal team immediately nodded.

A violent ringing exploded in Oliver's ears. His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor in a dead heap.

"Oliver! Oliver!" Mina shrieked in absolute panic.

Gonzalez stood up and instructed Holly, "Get a doctor up here. Until this is fully resolved, Oliver doesn't take a single step outside the building."

Holly lowered her head in compliance.

Norah turned around, holding up a plate with a bright, charming grin. "Chicken and egg yolk rice. Want a taste?"

Gonzalez reached out and lightly tapped the top of her head. "That's for Circe. Don't think I don't know."

Her smile only grew wider. "It's completely edible! I'll give you a bite to prove it!"

Gonzalez caught his silly girl's hand before she could actually try it. "Feed Circe first. I'm going to go change, and then we'll go grab some hot pot for dinner."

Norah's eyes instantly lit up. "Back to the restaurant?"

Gonzalez caught her chin and pressed a deep kiss to her lips. "Yeah. Back to the restaurant."
