Chapter 11
Caroline’s sonorous and intimulating voice was enough to roh what color away from the middle–aged man’s face
He knew that what he did was illegal, but he was hoping to be able to get away with it.

Section 232 of the Criminal Code makes attempted murder punishable by a death penalty, life imprisonment or at least a ten–year prison
That was enough to send all three of them into a panicking frenzy.
The middle–aged woman’s face was a pallid shade of white. “A–Are you saying that my husband is going to jail!!”
“Yes, but he won’t be alone. All of you are involved in this as fellow co–conspirators, so all you three will be going to jail,” said Neal with hardly any
pity at all
The the almost fainted at that revelation,
In the end. Caroline left the interrogation room with Neal accompanying her.
“A notice will be issued later to announce that Ressua Pharmaceuticals is completely innocent in this fiasco, Miss Green,” said Neal
Thank you so much, ofheer,” said Caroline, who felt thankful that the cops could solve the case so quickly. That would help Ressa Pharmaceuticals in regaining market trist
Knowing that she was about to leave. Neal called, “You’re very good in IT, Miss Green. Would you be interested in a collaboration of sorts”
Knowing that the owed him a favor for his expediting this case, Caroline thought that she might consider the offer. “I’m busy most of the time, so make sure it’s really something challenging before you come to me.”
Basically, leave me alone unless needed to
Neal was excited at the chance to procure her help, knowing how great a hacker she must really be-“Very well,” he promised.
With that tacit understanding, Caroline went back to Ressua Pharmaceuticals
Her car was only just arriving outside the main entrance and before she even got out, Sarah Young was already there waiting for her.
Sarah hurried forward to receive her with eyes moist and red. “Miss Green, the police have cleared us of the Na incident” she said jubilantly.
Caroline did not expect to find such an emotional Sarah. Her lips curled into a grin. “Serve me well and I will make Ressus bigger and stronger.”
A mirthful Sarah bobbed her head vigorously in profuse repetitions, saying, “I know and I trust you will
They walked together into the office and everywhere they passed by, they could hear whoops of joyous celebration and bangs of crackers sprinkling confetti into the air.
“Wow, M Miss Green is awesome! S She just KO–ed the opponent and they can’t even hit back!”
“I told ya: Ms. Miranda Green was being framed. Well, at least her memory is protected now
“Wow, for the past one day and one night, I was worried that I might go jobless
I always stand with Ressual For Caroline Green!”
Morale was restored back up to incredibly high standards at Ressua Pharmaceuticals.

Later, the mood in the conference room was of two polar differences: some were exultant while the rest were morose.
Those who did not sign the letter of demand looked relieved and optimistic. “What a surpriset Caroline Green might be young, but make no

“Yeah, buenay long years have passed. To think that Ms. Miranda Green would leave us all so suddenly. And to think that there are scoundrels who wished to beatmuch her good memory by using her as a scapegoat!”
Many beard those words and felt hon keenly they pricked.
These were the ones who cowered and even demanded for their personal prosta ile moment Miranela’s name was being slandered.

As the Ressua Pharmaceuticals was Diohurst’s largest pharmaceutical supplier, even the smallest shareholder with just a minuscule percentage of the company’s stocks regularly raked in precious amounts of dividends all thanks to the company’s roaring business.
Now that the dignity of Resua Pharmaceuticals has been restored, it was only a matter of time before the gravy train starts to run again and these soundrels wish to still be onboard.
That spurred more members of the board to stand up and reiterated their wish to stay.
“I’m sorry for not trusting you, Caroline. Please let us stay. I promise that we do our best for Ressua
“Me 100. I don’t want to leave Ressua Pharmaceuticals either, Miss GreenTM
None of them were ashamed of what they had done at all. Each and every one of the pestered and cajoled Caroline, hoping to worm their way out of the terms of the letter of demand
Caroline stared at these people coldly, exuding a cold fury so unlike what she was when she was dealing with the staff outside.
“And now you’re begging me?” she hissed with frost
Many were affronted by the cold shoulder, but none of them dared to parade their displeasure.
Especially Simon Jacob, the ringleader of the gang who had been trying to pin the blame on Miranda’s name. Now, he remained nailed to his chair, fervently praying for some mercy by Caroline.
Caroline intentionally looked at him and tossed a question from her side of the table, “What’s going on, Simon, you looked like you’ve seen a ghost Why so quiet?”
That was enough to kill off every other element of noise in the conference room as all chatter died quickly. Everyone was watching him.
Simon Jacob snorted arrogantly, “I was just joking. There’s no need to take what I said seriously.
That was disgusting that even other shareholders could take this no longer. One heckled loudly. “We had an agreement, Mr. Jacob. Are you saying that you’ll be having trouble trying to live up to your promise?“.
“You signed the letter of demand and yet you lack the conviction to commit to your word until the end?”
“Those who are willing to overcome their scruples often are those who are the mightiest.”
The conference room erupted with numerous other shareholders hurling scathing remarks at Simon that he was turning red with shame and embarrassing
Enraged, he thrust his finger at the rest of the boardroom. “And you think you are honest and loyal, eh? Don’t forget how you people were also in agreement to pin the bbme on Mirandar
That retort was enough to at least filence the ones. On the other hand, all of them were rather perturbed that they were wrong
Some did really think so.

Not one to beat around the bush, Caroline dumped the stacks of letters on the table, declaring, “Once bitten, twice shy. I don’t need people who go agant their own word”
The potency of words laced with unyielding force and resolve left an indelible trepidation on those who were present to bear witness.
Those whom Simon had cajoled or coerced into signing the letter of demand were regretting their decision to acquiesce or agree with him. Every single one of them was resentful of him for this botched coup.
Those who had been neutral were thankful that they were not swayed by Simon back then or they would be part of the group that would be
