Chapter 8 - THE BOSS WHO DISCOVERED HIS OWN EMPIRE WAS ROTTEN
Wesley's investigation uncovered connections between Harrow Systems, Thaddius Mercer, and several shell companies.
The false invoices had been used to move money through shipping contracts.
Some transactions were linked to Wesley's legitimate businesses.
Others were connected to criminal operations he had inherited.
The deeper he looked, the worse it became.
His own organization had been compromised.
A senior financial officer named Marcus Vale had been working with Thaddius.
Together, they had manipulated records and diverted millions.
Wesley stared at the evidence.
For years, he'd believed his empire was under control.
Now he understood that fear had made people hide problems instead of reporting them.
His employees had been afraid to tell him the truth.
His experts had been pressured to produce answers.
And the people stealing from him had exploited that silence.
Wesley closed the folder.
“Bring in independent auditors.”
Rowan nodded.
“And the authorities?”
Wesley looked toward the harbor.
“Yes.”
Rowan hesitated.
“Boss, that could expose everything.”
May you like
Wesley's expression hardened.
“Then everything deserves to be exposed.”
