Pierce's expression instantly turned grim. "No. The influencer who broke the story claimed he received an anonymous email in the middle of the night. But the sender hid their IP address and set up advanced firewall protections against tracing."
Arthur frowned. "That only proves this is far more complicated than we thought. The company took a massive hit, and we don't even know who our enemy is. We are completely exposed in the light while they operate in the dark. Find out who is behind this, whatever the cost."
A predatory glare flashed in Pierce's eyes. "I'm going to destroy whoever did this."
If it weren't for that person, he and Riley never would have divorced. This unseen enemy had torn his family apart, and once he found out who it was, he was going to tear them to shreds.
As Pierce walked out of the estate, Scott approached with a stern expression. "Boss, you were right. Someone has been looking into your past with Seraphina overseas."
A vicious shadow crossed Pierce's face. Exposing his domestic affairs and then digging into his overseas past... it seemed the person behind this was aiming for the kill. "Did you take care of it?"
"Don't worry, Boss. I've wiped all traces of anything that shouldn't be found."
Pierce nodded, a cruel hint of amusement flickering in his icy eyes. He was becoming increasingly curious about this shadowy opponent who had managed to publicly humiliate him in Riverport without leaving a single trace.
For as long as he could remember, his word had been absolute law in Riverport. Standing at the top for so long had become mundane. Now, this sudden challenger sparked a thrilling sense of rivalry within him.
Just wait. He was going to drag them into the light.

The next day.
Right as it was time to clock out, Dr. Jenson walked into Riley's office with a beaming smile. "Riley, the special recruitment list is out. You've been selected."
Riley was shocked. She had only submitted the application yesterday, and the results were already finalized today. "That fast?"
