CHAPTER 7: CORPORATE SABOTAGE AND COUNTER-ATTACKS
Realizing her legal options were evaporating, Jessica turned to underground corporate sabotage to cripple Liam's technology company from within. She contacted a disgruntled former vice president who had been fired for embezzlement two years prior, offering him millions for proprietary source code.
The traitorous former executive sneaked into the server room late at night, attempting to upload malicious ransomware onto the primary databases. However, Liam's cybersecurity team had anticipated retaliation and maintained active honeypot traps across all internal networks.
Alarms flashed silently on the security monitors in the chief technology officer's office within seconds of the unauthorized intrusion attempt. Private security guards intercepted the saboteur in the hallway before he could complete the data transfer or wipe the servers.
Federal law enforcement officers arrived at the corporate headquarters within twenty minutes to take the suspect into federal custody. Under aggressive interrogation, the saboteur immediately confessed that Jessica was the mastermind who financed the entire illegal espionage operation.
Federal prosecutors added felony wire fraud and corporate conspiracy charges to Jessica's growing list of impending criminal indictments. Liam received the secure briefing on his private tablet while sitting in his corner office, watching the legal net close around his ex-fiancée.
