A Manager Humiliated a Delivery Woman in Front of the Entire Company, Until the Chairman Arrived and Saw the Document Inside Her Box Bearing His Name / Chapter 6 / 14

Chapter 7 - Uncovering a hidden web of offshore shell companies that connects the disgraced managers to a much larger international conspiracy today.

The encrypted hard drives recovered from Chloe's delivery carton continued downloading terabytes of hidden financial data in the background.

Dr. Harrison Vance, no relation to Marcus but a shadow board member, watched the decryption progress bar crawl across the screen.

"These offshore accounts in Zurich aren't just holding embezzled funds; they're routing capital to unregistered foreign defense contractors," Harrison noted.

Arthur Sterling leaned over the console, his brow furrowing as he processed the terrifying geopolitical implications of the discovery.

"Are you telling me our regional logistics branch was laundering money for international arms dealers under cover of corporate retail?" Arthur asked.

"Worse than that, Chairman; they were using our domestic shipping lanes to smuggle restricted dual-use microchips overseas," Chloe confirmed.

The atmosphere in the boardroom shifted from corporate fraud to a high-stakes national security investigation involving federal intelligence.

Agent Miller of the FBI stepped back into the room, holding a secure satellite phone blinking with an urgent priority red alert.

"Chairman Sterling, we just received a secure dispatch from the Department of Defense regarding those microchip shipments," Agent Miller said.

"Put it on speaker," Arthur commanded, his hands gripping the mahogany edge of the conference table with intense focus.

"If those restricted chips reach foreign adversaries before midnight, American tactical defense grids will be severely compromised," a voice warned.

Chloe stepped forward, tapping her sleek smartphone to cross-reference the shipment tracking codes with her delivery log database.

"The final cargo container isn't in Zurich or overseas yet; it's currently sitting in Port Newark waiting for customs clearance tonight," Chloe stated.

Arthur’s eyes flashed with fierce patriotic determination as he realized they had a very narrow window to intercept the illegal cargo.
