Liam kept sending updates.
*Liam: It’s a bloodbath in the conference room. Arthur just told Chloe to call her “well-connected” father to bail them out.*
I had run Chloe's background check before she was hired. Arthur had tried to waive it.
Her application described a wealthy family with venture connections. The report gave me a modest house in Ohio, a retired postman, and no investment history. Arthur told me pedigree mattered less than talent. He never asked why she had lied.
*Liam: She’s crying. Admitted her dad isn’t a venture capitalist. He’s a retired postman from Ohio.*
*Liam: He’s losing it. Called her a gold-digging parasite who tanked his company. Said she was nothing but a cheap knock-off.*
*Liam: She’s screaming back at him. Said at least her father wasn’t a bankrupt fraud
