Chapter 11 - The Audit of Deception
One week later, Marcus received a formal court summons delivered directly to the cheap motel room he was forced to rent.
Valeria hadn't just fired him; she had unleashed Salazar Enterprises’ top legal and forensic accounting teams to conduct a ruthless line-by-line audit of his entire tenure as regional manager.
The findings were catastrophic for Marcus.
In the legal summons, Attorney Marcus Vance (head of corporate litigation) laid out evidence showing that Marcus had systematically falsified expense reports over eighteen months, using company funds to buy designer jewelry, hotel stays, and luxury meals for Renata under the guise of "client entertainment."
The total embezzled amount was $320,000.
In the corporate deposition room, Marcus sat across from Valeria, who wore a sharp charcoal-grey suit, looking every bit the powerful CEO she was born to be.

"Valeria, please," Marcus whimpered, clutching his hands together across the glass table. "I made a mistake! I'll pay it back! Just don't file criminal charges! I'll go to federal prison!"
