Chapter 479:

Camille felt tears welling up again. “I can’t handle any more betrayals, Stefan. I can’t discover that someone else I trusted was lying to me.”

“Then let’s find out if Victoria was telling the truth or if Alexander was. Let’s get real answers instead of living with suspicion and pain.”

“I don’t know how to investigate something like this. I don’t know where to start.”

“I do.” Stefan pulled out his phone and showed her a folder of documents. “I’ve been looking into Alexander’s uncle already. Victoria asked me to investigate Alexander’s background before all this happened.”

Camille stared at the phone. “Victoria suspected Alexander?”

“She suspected someone was feeding Kane Industries information to outside attackers. She wanted to know if Alexander might be involved.” Stefan’s expression was grim. “She was right to be suspicious.”

“Show me.”

Stefan opened the folder on his phone. “These are the official court records from the Meridian Technologies case. The real ones, not edited versions.” Camille read through the documents, her heart sinking with each page. The safety violations were clear. The worker complaints that Richard Pierce had ignored. The shortcuts his company had taken to underbid competitors.

“This doesn’t match what Alexander showed me,” she whispered.

“What did Alexander show you?”

“Richard Pierce’s journal. It painted Victoria as the villain. Said she planted evidence and bribed inspectors.”

Stefan nodded grimly. “I’d like to see that journal. And any other evidence Alexander has.”

“He won’t talk to me. And even if he would, I don’t want to see him.”

“Then we’ll have to find another way.”

The cafeteria door opened, and Hannah Zhao walked in. Kane Industries’ chief engineer looked exhausted, her usually perfect appearance rumpled from days of crisis management.

“Camille? I’ve been looking for you.” Hannah sat down beside them. “How’s Victoria?”

“The same. Sedated. Fighting.” Camille gestured to Stefan. “Hannah, this is Stefan Rodriguez. Stefan, Hannah Zhao.”

Hannah’s eyes widened slightly. “The Stefan Rodriguez? From the Rodriguez Shipping crisis?”

Stefan winced. “That’s me. Though I’d prefer to be known for something else these days.”

“Stefan wants to help investigate the allegations against Victoria,” Camille explained. “He thinks someone might have manipulated the evidence Alexander was given.”

Hannah leaned forward, intrigued. “What kind of evidence?”

“Documents suggesting Victoria covered up safety violations and destroyed Richard Pierce’s company to hide her crimes,” Stefan said.
