Chapter 12 - THE PRICE OF SAVING CLARA VANCE
The investigation threatened Matteo's empire.
Investors demanded explanations.
Several executives resigned.
The company's reputation suffered.
Matteo faced pressure to remove Clara from her position.
He refused.
But Clara surprised him.
“I want to resign.”
He stared.
“Why?”
She looked down.
“Because I don't want my life to become another problem you have to solve.”
Matteo stood.
“Clara.”
She shook her head.
“I need to build something that's mine.”
He looked at her for a long moment.
Then nodded.
“I understand.”
She smiled sadly.
“Thank you.”
He hesitated.
Then said:
“If you ever need anything—”
Clara interrupted gently.
May you like
“I know.”
And for the first time, Matteo let someone walk away without trying to control the outcome.
