Chapter 642
“Is it true that Maloney Sterling’s private jet has crashed?! What is the initial cause of the accident p>
“With this sudden tragedy occurring during a major power transition, is foul play suspected p>
“Are the rumors of backroom equity deals and brutal infighting among Sterling executives true p>
“Jarred’s grandmother and Helena haven’t been seen in public for ages! Is it true there’s a traitor in the family p>
Every question was like a precision missile strike.
The reporters were asking about highly classified corporate secrets that ordinary media had no way of knowing.
The board members were paralyzed.
They immediately wiped the murderous rage off their faces. No one dared give the press footage of them inciting a riot.
And they certainly couldn’t let the scandal of top-tier executives clawing at each other’s throats go public.
Their minds reeled in absolute panic, overwhelmed with disbelief.
Where the hell did the press come from?
Who leaked these damning internal secrets?
Even they didn’t know the full story regarding Jarred’s grandmother and Helena. Who would dare ask about that?
“Move! We talk upstairs!” one of the directors hissed through gritted teeth.
The executives tightly encircled Sienna, guarding her as if she were a flight risk, and herded her directly into the main conference room.
*Slam!* The heavy doors shut.
Thea tried to follow, but four security guards physically blocked her and dragged her away from the boardroom.
Inside, Sienna calmly stepped forward.
She meticulously analyzed the desperate, predatory expressions painted on every man’s face.
“I found out about Maloney’s crash at the exact same time you did p>
Her voice was not loud, but it commanded absolute clarity.
“I may have initiated the transfer of power, but it was with his full consent.
“Furthermore, I had absolutely nothing to do with his flight plan. The aviation records are fully accessible p>
One man suddenly barked at her.
“Maloney managed the overseas operations! He flew that route countless times a year without a single issue!
“So why is it that the exact moment you surrender your power, his plane mysteriously goes down p>
The others nodded fiercely, glaring at her with toxic suspicion.
“It’s obvious! Someone plays the saint, claiming she doesn’t care about the Sterling forttine, but she’s actually trying to swallow it all herself p>
“Maloney was the only legitimate successor! Eliminate him, and you get to reign supreme p>
Sienna took half a step forward. Her overpowering presence forced a dozen aggressive executives to stagger back.
“Gentlemen p>
She swept her icy gaze over their faces, her demeanor chillingly detached.
“Whether the crash was an accident or sabotage will be determined by the police and the aviation authority.
“Until that report is filed, your swarmed my car and beat on my windows. What exactly were you trying to force me to confess e me to confess to p>
She paused, a cold smirk curling her lips. Are you gentlemen assuming that since Maloney is dead, I’m next on the chopping block?
“Am I truly the mastermind here, or is someone in this very room trying to kill two birds with one stone?
“Getting rid of both Maloney and myself, so you can seize total control of the Sterling Group p>
Her words struck like a bombshell.
Several men flinched.
The previously united front instantly fractured into paranoid suspicion.
They began casting wary, sidelong glances at one another.
Sienna locked onto their expressions, lowering her voice dangerously.
“It hasn’t even been two hours since the crash. The search teams are still looking for the Flight Data Recorder.
“Yet you all conveniently had a narrative pre-written, ready to pin the murder on me p>
She paused, her icy smile deepening. “Was this a group decision? Or did someone specifically orchestrate this little ambush p>
The directors’ eyes widened in sheer panic!
