Rachel Stone called an emergency meeting that evening. Her team had been working around the clock, and she had news.
"We traced the ownership of Apex Solutions all the way back," Rachel said, spreading documents across the conference table. "It took some creative accounting analysis, but we found the source. The company is ultimately owned by Meridian Pharma. And Meridian Pharma's largest shareholder is Amanda Reeves."
"So Amanda is behind everything," William said.
"Not quite. Here's where it gets interesting." Rachel pulled up another document. "Amanda is the public face, yes. But there's another major shareholder who's been hiding behind layers of shell companies. Someone who's been funding this operation from the beginning."
"Who?" Lucy asked.
"Ethan Blackwood."
