Chapter 15 - Ethan’s Business Partner Turns Out To Be Traitor
Down in the subterranean parking garage, Arthur Sterling scrambled toward his idling black limousine near the exit ramp.
Before he could pull the door handle, two federal agents stepped out from the concrete pillars with weapons drawn.
“Hands where I can see them! You’re under arrest for corporate conspiracy and attempted murder, Arthur!” Miller announced.
Arthur stopped dead in his tracks, dropping his briefcase onto the concrete floor with a heavy, metallic clatter.

“All the offshore transfer orders and encrypted communications are right here on this drive,” Riley told him softly.
Ethan looked down at her, the cold, intimidating billionaire facade melting away into genuine warmth and gratitude.
