Nadia held Eli tighter, feeling the invisible battle in the air.
Then Jonah said something that changed the room completely.
“Also,” he said, “I know what you have been doing.”
Silence.
Jonah placed a file on the table.
“Illegal transfers, hidden accounts, contracts signed without proper approval. You did not manage the company. You fed on it.”
The older man’s face tightened.

“We are safe because we are careful,” he said. “But we must be wise.”
