Chapter 14 - The Shocking Identity Of The Figure Is Revealed
Agent Miller and Ethan stepped into the dark corridor with flashlights drawn, sweeping the beams across the dusty concrete.
A few yards down the hall, Riley emerged from the utility shaft, coughing slightly from the dust and cold air.
“Riley! Are you alright?” Ethan asked urgently, rushing forward to steady her by the shoulders.
“I’m fine... but the man who attacked me dropped this inside the shaft,” Riley said, holding up a heavy gold signet ring.
Ethan took the ring under the flashlight beam, his face turning deathly pale as he read the engraved initials inside.
“This belongs to Arthur Sterling... my chief legal counsel and supposedly my most loyal advisor,” Ethan whispered in disbelief.
Agent Miller checked his tablet, confirming the alarming revelation with real-time digital surveillance logs.
“Sterling orchestrated the corporate hack, the fake security footage, and the insider leaks from downtown headquarters,” Miller reported.
The conspiracy was far larger and deeper than Ethan had ever imagined, reaching into the highest levels of his empire.
