Chapter 208 The Intruders
Lady Flourish’s POV

My wolf remained on edge as Damian ordered the warrior to keep the information confidential, but I could barely concentrate on anything else.

Someone inside Midnight Society had accessed F-Tech, and the timing felt too deliberate for me to believe it was a coincidence.
Damian pulled me toward a quieter section of the hall before speaking again. “Rhys said the person used senior executive credentials.”
I frowned. “Whose?”
“He’s still checking.”
I crossed my arms. “Then whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing.”
Damian nodded, and my thoughts immediately returned to everything that had happened before my suspension. There had been too many people willing to interfere with my career, and now someone was trying to gain access to a company system while I was already under scrutiny.
“Nathan,” I said.
Damian looked at me. “I think we should look at Nathan.”
His expression stayed controlled. “Why?”
“Because someone trying to undermine me would need access from inside the company.”
Damian’s jaw tightened. “I won’t accuse anyone without evidence.”
“I know.”
He reached for my hand. “We’ll get the evidence.”
His confidence settled something inside me, and my wolf relaxed slightly. Across the hall, Phina was receiving congratulations from several guests, but I noticed her attention kept returning to Harold.
The moment she caught him alone, she approached him with a smile that looked forced even from where I stood.
I couldn’t hear what she said. Harold answered briefly, and whatever his response was, her

expression changed at once. Then she turned away from him.

I looked back at Damian, but his attention had shifted to his phone. He read a message, and his entire expression hardened.
“What happened?”
He turned the screen toward me. The access to F-Tech had come from a terminal registered to Stonehedge Holdings.
I stared at it. “That can’t be right.”
“Why?”
“That office belongs to Ragnar.”
My wolf immediately grew restless. Ragnar was one of the most powerful people in Stonehedge, and his reputation could not simply be destroyed by a careless accusation. If his credentials had been used to access F-Tech, someone had either betrayed him or deliberately framed him.
Damian’s eyes darkened. “Do you think he did it?”
“No,” I said, my answer coming immediately. “I don’t.”
He studied me. “Why?”
“Because whoever did this wants us to think he did.”
The realization made my stomach turn. Someone had been manipulating the conflict around me for too long, and now they were expanding it into Damian’s own family.
If they succeeded in making us suspect each other, they wouldn’t even need to attack us directly.
Damian’s phone vibrated again, and he answered it. “Rhys.” I watched his expression while he listened. “Confirm it,” he said, then ended the call,
I stepped closer. “What did he say?”
“We found the access point.”
“Where?”
“Ragnar’s private office.”
My chest tightened. “Who had access?”

“One of his executive assistants.”
I frowned. “Where is he?”
Damian’s eyes turned colder. “Missing.”
I stared at him. “Since when?”
“Twenty minutes ago.”
The noise around us seemed to fade for a moment. Someone had accessed F-Tech using credentials connected to Ragnar’s office and then vanished almost immediately after.
The more I thought about it, the clearer it became that whoever was behind this had planned every piece of it carefully.
“Can Rhys track him?”
“He’s trying.”
My wolf suddenly lifted its head, and I froze. There was a scent nearby, faint beneath the perfumes, food, alcohol, and hundreds of werewolves gathered in one room, but my wolf recognized something unfamiliar underneath it all. I turned slowly toward the corridor behind
