Hey guys, I'm updating on time today! Thanks for all the support in this book, it's crazy how well this book is doing!! Anyway, let's get to the chapter!!!

Continuing from the last chapter...

I slammed my palm on my desk as I stood up, outraged. Charlie looked at me for instructions.

"Organize a meeting in exactly 30 minutes. Report to the press right away. I want an interview today with all the board executives and members. We will get to the bottom of this." I said, furious.

Charlie nodded at me before taking the tablet back and shutting my office door behind him. I immediately searched up the exact article online, and saw that there were many other articles covering the same topic. I viewed them all, and watched the video that came with one of the articles, as my blood boiled.

As I was looking through the details, I saw my Rotomphone buzz next to my mouse on my desk. I was too busy with my company thing. I turned my Rotomphone over so the screen was facing my desk and continued with my research and preparing my papers and evidence to show my board. 

~~~~~~At the board meeting, Ash's pov~~~~~~

As the CEO, I would sit in the chair in front of everyone, as the other board members sat along the long table, I would sit in front. Charlie was the last to enter the office before me, sitting on the right side right next to me. As the CEO, I entered last. I had also called my mother, the former CEO, who was still a major board member, to join me, she sat next to me on my left side.

I had my jacked draped around my shoulder and shut the door of the conference room behind me before standing right in front of seat. "Good morning, all. I am sorry for the rushed meeting. I know that some of you may have just gotten to the company only to be rushed into this emergency meeting." I said, greeting my board members, as they all nodded their head to acknowledge me. I nodded towards Charlie as I sat down. He nodded back and stood up, passing the folders with the evidence I had collected.

As all the board members looked at everything with their eyes wide open. "We have a traitor among us. This traitor has sold our newest Rotomphone model design blueprint to our biggest rival. Lander Electronics." I said, standing up, and glaring at each of my employees in the eye. "But it is important to remember, we must stick together. We won't point fingers at anyone. Do you understand. I don't care if you're right, if the person you accuse is truly the one who is the traitor. We cannot point fingers among us, otherwise it will cause us to be divided, and we will be in even more trouble." I said. "Who is with me?" I asked, and got everyone in the room's hand.

"I will second Ash's words." My mother said, standing up and looking at everyone else in the eye. "I don't want us to be divided. Anyone who is pointing fingers will immediately face consequences. I will ensure that anyone accusing someone else without evidence is punished." She said, before she sat down.

"If you have evidence of someone possibly being the traitor, I want the person with the evidence to talk to me, and me only. Don't discuss this among yourselves. Last I need is people gossiping about each other." I said.

"Excuse me, Sir." One of the members said, raising his hand. "How do you know that this isn't a careless mistake, that one of these blueprints were left behind on accident and then stolen?"

"Because of this." I said, throwing documents on the table. They were the contracts with other companies. "Look at these dates. I have evidence of myself being away from the company at this time. My signature has been forged on here. It seems that whoever did this made a fatal mistake. They copied it wrong, and they seemed to have forgotten I have evidence of everything. I always think many steps ahead."
