Chapter 7 - THE SECRET BEHIND THE CYPRESS PAYMENT
The investigation revealed that Cypress wasn't a legitimate investment.
It was a fabricated procurement project.
Julian Vain had used his position to authorize false invoices.
Marcus helped create the vendor records.
And several employees had been pressured to approve transactions they didn't understand.
Clara discovered the scheme when she compared payment instructions against archived contracts.
The forged fourth page contained an authorization supposedly signed by Matteo.
But the signature didn't match.
Clara knew because she had prepared his documents for nearly two years.
She knew how he signed.
Where he placed his initials.
Even how the pressure of his pen changed when he was tired.
Matteo looked at the forged document.
Then at Clara.
“You saved the company.”
She shook her head.
“I only noticed something wrong.”
