A woman sitting beside him nodded rapidly in full agreement, echoing his sentiment under her breath. “You couldn’t be more night about that.”

Up until this point, nearly everyone in the room had operated under the assumption Johnny was far too intelligent and mindful of his mentor’s legacy to risk something this reckless.

But now, after hearing the explosive backstory Yale had laid out before them, the group’s collective certainty began to crumble.

If every detail they’d just listened to rang true, the theory that Johnny penned all of Maggie’s published research was no longer so far-fetched after all.

As for Maggie herself, none of the audience had anticipated that she harbored such ruthless ambition paired with calculated. underhanded tactics to climb the professional ladder.

It was a stark reminder that appearances could be wildly deceiving, no matter how poised and unassuming a person seemed

Another attendee shifted uncomfortably in his padded auditorium chair, unable to suppress his urge to voice the epiphany settling over the entire crowd.

“I never knew there was such a messy, bitter history tangled up between Johnny, Maggie, and Julia. That explains why Dr. Mercer brought up how odd the dynamic was earlier.

“Wilson Group and Cole Corporation have maintained a long-standing, lucrative collaborative partnership for years. their joint projects consistently hitting every performance benchmark ahead of schedule

“Still, Franklin and Johnny have always kept an icy, distant relationship, rarely interacting outside mandatory board meetings and almost never reaching out to one another socially. Now all of that awkward tension finally makes perfect sense.”

A young analyst a few rows back sighed softly, chiming in with shared astonishment. “Who could’ve guessed such a deep-seated grudge existed between those two men?”

Every set of eyes in the auditorium drifted toward Johnny at that moment, including Dr. Mercer’s own focused stare. The entire room waited with bated breath to hear how Johnny planned to defend himself against Yale’s damning allegations.

After a lengthy stretch of thick, heavy silence hanging over the stage, Dr. Mercer was the first to break through the quiet tension, directing his question toward the two people at the center of the storm.

“Mr. Gray.” He paused briefly, his gaze sliding over to Maggie before he continued gently. “Maggie. Do either of you have anything you’d like to say in response to everything this gentleman has claimed here today?”

Maggie remained completely silent, her features calm and unruffled without a single flicker of emotion crossing her face.

Johnny let out a faint, unrushed chuckle, holding Yale’s unyielding glare without a hint of retreat as he spoke in a steady. unwavering tone.
