Tom had misappropriated company funds and manipulated financial records. One mistake could spell disaster for him and everyone at the company.

‘Tom is truly ambitious. I never thought he had the guts,” said Linda.

After learning more about the company, she shared Wendy’s sentiments.

Tom’s actions were already enough to get him a lengthy prison sentence, but Linda had no intention of letting him off that easily. She was devastated to watch the company she had meticulously developed for

over ten years fall apart.

Wendy, who had been with Linda for years, sensed she had something in mind and asked, “Linda, what’s your plan?”

“Book a flight for me. I need to be in Aventis next Friday.”

“Got it.”

After work, Linda headed to the front of YK Media and asked the security guard to get her car instead of doing it herself. William’s behavior before had deeply unsettled her.
