Chapter 643:
The scene had provided considerably more entertainment than a standard mathematics competition ever could. He drew a slim tablet from his breast pocket and typed a rapid, encrypted message to his chief financial officer.
“Pause all movement on the InnoTech acquisition term sheets,” Carter wrote, his face an unreadable mask. “Launch an immediate, deep-dive background audit on Belle Escobar’s technical claims. I do not blindly invest in public liabilities, and I certainly don’t invest in frauds p>
Meanwhile, Belle seized her mother’s arm with a bruising grip. “This is a disaster,” she hissed through clenched teeth. “We’re leaving. Now p>
She yanked a sobbing Kaiden by the collar and began dragging him and her stunned mother toward the nearest exit, trying to escape before the journalists with their telephoto lenses could close in. They kept their heads down, pushing through the jeering crowd in a pathetic scramble for the shadows.
They managed three steps toward the exit stairs.
A small figure stepped out from behind a heavy black curtain, blocking the narrow walkway completely.
Leo Harrington stood with his hands clasped over his chest, his tailored navy suit immaculate, his pale blue eyes cold and unblinking.
“Excuse me,” Belle snapped, attempting to push past the nine-year-old boy.
Leo did not move an inch. Two large security guards, followed by the furious head judge, moved to flank him, their expressions grim. The crowd nearest the stairs closed in immediately, forming a solid wall of bodies behind Belle and cutting off her escape route entirely.

The trap was shut.
Leo reached up and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

“You publicly accused a minor of academic fraud in a broadcasted venue,” the head judge barked, stepping forward. His face was dark red with anger. “The Olympiad committee will not tolerate this kind of malicious sabotage. You hijacked our broadcast feed to frame a contestant p>
He pointed a finger at Kaiden, who was still wailing into Belle’s skirt.
“If you do not issue a formal, public apology to Ms. Carson and her daughter right this second,” the judge threatened, his voice booming across the hall, “I will permanently ban Kaiden Lancaster from all future STEM events, and I will have security hold you here until the NYPD arrives to take a statement on the network breach p>
The word police hit Kaiden like a physical blow.
The boy let out a terrified shriek. He grabbed fistfuls of Cheryl’s faux fur coat and yanked violently. “Grandma, do something! I don’t want to go to jail! Fix it p>
Cheryl’s face contorted with panic. “You wouldn’t dare,” she hissed, her voice shaking. “InnoTech and the Lancaster family are platinum sponsors of this event. If you touch us, Grayson Lancaster will pull every dime of funding p>
The judge let out a harsh, barking laugh.
