Chapter 10 - Justice Restored
Mr. Higgins stood shaking in the corner, his face sweating profusely as Julian turned his cold gaze toward him.
"Mr. Higgins," Julian said, his voice flat and devoid of mercy.
"S-Sir! I was manipulated! I had no idea Mrs. Vance was acting illegally!" Higgins squeaked, dropping to his knees on the glass-strewn floor.
"You fired an employee without an investigation, ignored safety protocols, and covered up a hazardous environment for a bribe," Julian replied. "You are terminated effective immediately, and my legal team will be filing full criminal negligence charges against you by sunset."

He took her bruised hand gently in his, his eyes filled with immense gratitude and deep remorse.
