“Elena…?” he stammered.
“Hello, Adrian,” I said calmly. “Sorry to interrupt your celebration of my death.”
He tried to approach me.
Two agents blocked him instantly.
Mateo walked to the control console and plugged in a USB drive.
“The pension funds the CEO just mentioned,” Mateo said to the stunned room, “can’t be restructured.”
“Because he already stole them.”
The giant screen flickered.
Then the dashcam video began to play.
The entire room heard Adrian’s voice.
“Get out, Elena… survive if you can.”
Gasps filled the boardroom.
The recording continued—Adrian discussing offshore accounts and laughing about stealing thirty million dollars.
Adrian panicked.
He tried to run.
Police officers moved in.
“Adrian Montes,” the lead agent announced, snapping handcuffs onto his wrists, “you are under arrest for fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and attempted murder.”
Valeria attempted to escape but was arrested as well.
Adrian screamed while officers dragged him away.
