The Stranger Behind My Orgasm novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: ANOTHER LOOSE END

Finnegan

The boardroom was dead silent. Mother glanced at me surreptitiously, her eyes darting from me to the folder on the desk.

I kept my face as blank as I could, waiting for her to make a move. She thought she was the only one who could pull strings? Well, she was dead wrong. I was her son after all. I had known this was coming and I had prepared for it.

"We do not have all day, Mother."

Her eyes narrowed even further when she reached forward to take the envelope I pushed toward her and drew out the bundle of documents inside.

The white paper gleamed in the light, marked with several words in black ink. Nothing could beat the look of shock on Mother’s face, her eyes widening as they swept over the documents.

The directors present murmured among themselves.

"I’ve been investigating this for a while, Mother," I said. "Forensic accountants and independent auditors have been reviewing every transaction tied to your projects."

I paused allowing my words to sink in.

"A large chunk of those shares was acquired through forged documents, embezzlement, and backdoor deals using company funds."

The murmurs grew even louder. Mother’s face went pale, then flushed with fury.

"You have no proof," she hissed.

A cold smile spread on my face. "I have plenty. And proof can be easily gotten once the suspicion is planted, right, Mother?"

That was exactly what she had wanted to do to me when she planted that false evidence in my computer. It could easily be dismissed as a lie during investigation, but it would not change the suspicion planted.

"I’m sure that if we check your bank records and wire transfers, we can get all the proof we want. Or better still, the shares can be legally challenged and potentially voided in court. Should we do that?"

Mother snatched the envelope from the table, her hands shaking with anger. "You think this scares me? You’re nothing but a spoiled, ungrateful child playing at being king."

My brows rose. Really? Now we’re going for insults?

I met her eyes without flinching. "If you’re still so interested in being CEO, Mother, perhaps we should take this to court."

Mother huffed, lifting her chin high, green eyes blazing with hatred. "I refute these baseless claims," she announced to the room, her voice dripping with venom.

"This is nothing but a desperate attempt by my son to hold onto power he doesn’t deserve."

She gathered her lawyers and stormed out of the boardroom, the door slamming behind her with a resounding bang.

My fingers dug deep into my palm as I fought to keep myself from rushing after her and trying to reason with her.

That had never worked in the past, it wouldn’t work now. It didn’t make it hurt any less though. She was my mother after all.

The room remained silent for several seconds, well, except for Jason’s whimpering. Then murmurs broke out, some directors looked relieved, others uneasy and confused.

Yeah, I would be confused if I showed up for a sudden emergency meeting just to watch the CEO and his mother bicker and threaten each other.

Jason, my temporary assistant, followed me out, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Sir... that was intense." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
