Hayley had just picked up her mug for a sip of water when she heard Emely’s order and nearly choked. “Emely, don’t you think that’s a bit much? Are you trying to drive them insane?” she muttered, looking completely stunned.

Emely lifted her chin, her voice unapologetic. “Hayley, leave this to me. We pay them the top salaries in the industry for a reason. If they can’t handle a simple demand like this, why are they here? I’ll fire every last one of them.”

Her words were meant for Hayley, but every technician in the room heard them. A chill went through the team, and suddenly the tension ratcheted up. No one dared risk a single mistake.

Pioneer Group had incredibly deep pockets. Every one of them enjoyed an enviable salary. It was a dream job, and nobody wanted to lose it.

Watching them all kick into high gear, their movements a frantic blur, Hayley felt some of the tension in her shoulders ease. With the entire team this focused, pinpointing the location within an hour was actually possible.

Harold was too cunning to leave anything to chance. To ensure absolute security, he’d hidden his private hospital in an incredibly remote location. Apart from a few core members of his circle, no one knew where it was. The hospital was camouflaged too, making it nearly impossible for an outsider to spot anything unusual.

This time, however, Emmalyn’s call had provided an opening. Hayley had seized the chance to trace the signal, confirming a general area. Now it was just a matter of narrowing the search.

“I suppose I should thank Harold for keeping Letitia alive.” Hayley sighed. “He thought that by holding Letitia, he could use her to threaten Rowan into dropping the lawsuit and acquitting Emmalyn after I recanted my testimony. But he never imagined Letitia would become the key to his downfall.”

A wicked grin spread across Emely’s face. “What do they call that? Hoisted by his own petard. Harold thought he had Rowan in his pocket, never realizing you’d already made contact and set a trap for him.”

Back when Emmalyn first approached Rowan, he had immediately informed Hayley and Emely. They all thought they were luring Hayley into a trap, but they were the ones walking straight into one that had been carefully laid for them.

Hayley took a sip of water, a cold glint in her eyes. “I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they lose everything. It’s going to be a spectacular crash.”

Meanwhile, at the Morgan Group, the atmosphere was anything but confident. Emmalyn had rushed straight from the Bliss Hotel to the company without a moment of rest.

The Morgan Group was in complete chaos. Brent and Kirby were using the two key projects Hayley had left behind to challenge Harold’s authority at every turn, siphoning off company resources for themselves. Then there were Allie and Luna. Abusing their senior positions, they threw their weight around without restraint, even filling departments with their own friends and relatives.

Their actions were pushing the already unstable company closer to the brink of collapse.
