Chapter 4 - Secrets in the BoardroomInside the high-security boardroom of Vance Global, the morning light streamed through floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the skyline. Clara, now dressed in a sharp, tailored midnight-blue suit that commanded immediate respect, sat at the head of the polished mahogany table. Daniel sat to her right, while the senior board members murmured among themselves, reviewing the legal documentation proving Clara’s true identity.
"The verification is complete," the chief legal counsel announced, sliding a signed dossier across the table. "Miss Clara Vance is legally reinstated as the primary shareholder and rightful chairperson of Vance Global."
Clara folded her hands, her gaze steady and piercing as she looked around the room. "Thank you, gentlemen. For years, this company has drifted away from its core values of integrity, compassion, and hard work. Today, we restore that foundation. But before we proceed, we must address an internal audit regarding unauthorized asset drains connected to Victoria Vance and external corporate entities."

Suddenly, the large digital display screen at the front of the room flickered, bypassing the internal firewall with an aggressive override code. The corporate logo vanished, replaced by a manipulated financial spreadsheet designed to look as though Clara had illegally transferred funds into an overseas account under her old alias.
Alarms beeped softly on the security terminals. A corrupt board member, secretly loyal to Jonathan Cross, stood up quickly. "Look at this! The new chairperson is embezzling funds! We can't trust her!"
