Chapter 7 - The Arrest at Headquarters

The entire board gasped in shock as the financial numbers flashed across the screen.
"While you were freezing single mothers to death over a few thousand dollars, Richard, you were embezzling three million dollars from the corporate renovation fund," Jonathan declared with surgical, icy precision. "I spent the last two days having my personal forensic accountants tear through your private ledgers."
Richard’s arrogant face turned paper-white. The pen slipped from his hand, clattering loudly against the table. "Jonathan... wait... that money was just parked in a holding account!"
"It's parked in the Cayman Islands," Jonathan replied coldly. "And I already forwarded the routing numbers to the FBI."
Before Richard could even stand up to run, the glass doors of the boardroom opened. Three federal agents stepped into the room, their badges flashing under the fluorescent lights.
"Richard Vance, you are under arrest for grand corporate embezzlement and wire fraud," the lead agent announced, marching directly toward him.
"No! Jonathan! We're partners!" Richard screamed hysterically as the agents grabbed his arms, twisting them behind his back and snapping heavy steel handcuffs around his wrists.
The executives watched in utter silence as their corrupt Vice President was dragged out of the skyscraper in chains, utterly humiliated in front of the entire company.
Jonathan turned back to the remaining board members, his presence radiating a new, unshakeable authority.
"Effective immediately, all winter evictions are permanently canceled," Jonathan ordered. "We are establishing a massive tenant-relief fund. Any executive in this room who values profit over human life can leave their badge on the table and walk out the door right now."
