Chapter 15 - Vanessa Risks Her Freedom to Save the Company

Arthur’s disgruntled associates attempted to destroy the digital archives containing Elizabeth’s original design patents in the basement server room.
Vanessa Cole was walking past the IT corridor when she saw smoke billowing from the server racks.

Security guards rushed to her rescue, breaking open the door and pulling Vanessa coughing into the hallway.
