Chapter 4 - Clara Exposes The Corruption Inside The Elite Academy
Clara walked over to her designer leather tote bag resting against the wooden barre and unzipped the main compartment.
She pulled out a thick, yellowed manila folder tied with a faded red ribbon and held it out toward Julian.
“Read what your precious board members tried to bury beneath millions of dollars in hush money,” Clara instructed firmly.
Julian hesitated for a fraction of a second before accepting the heavy folder with trembling hands.
He untied the ribbon and slid out original contracts, bank statements, and handwritten notes bearing his mother’s signature.
“These financial logs prove the academy embezzled Elena’s trust fund to pay off the current executive directors,” Julian muttered in disbelief.
“They engineered her ruin because she threatened to expose their illegal ticket scalping and money laundering operations,” Clara added.
The studio owner’s private office overlooked the mezzanine, and shadow figures could be seen watching through the glass.

Julian stood up slowly, clutching the stolen evidence against his ribs like a shield against an approaching storm.
“They told me my mother was weak; they lied to me every single day of my life,” Julian whispered angrily.
