“That was an administrative oversight—” Grant began, but Arthur raised a single wrinkled hand to cut him off mid-sentence.
“We have the signed transfer paperwork, the regional blood bank logs, and the emergency audit filed by your wife’s legal team,” Arthur continued.

“The board has voted unanimously to strip you of your CEO title effective immediately pending federal investigation,” the chairman concluded.
