"Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge me," William scoffed as he knocked Zoe unconscious and locked her in the attic. "Once I have money and power, anything I want will be just a word away." That evening, Nina and Nash's plane touched down. As they stepped out of the airport, they noticed something unusual.

The largest billboard nearby, which used to feature York Corporation's popular beauty products, had been replaced with a food advertisement. The change hadn't been authorized by Nash, and that wasn't right. Both of them exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong in Birkham.

Just as Nina was about to speak, Nash's phone rang. It was Manager Wood from the Planning Department. He was one of the most loyal and long-standing employees at York Corporation. "Manager Wood, I was just about to call you. What's going on with the billboard outside the airport? Why was it changed?"

"Mr. York, we need to talk. Come to my house immediately. Everyone is here waiting for you," Manager Wood's voice was urgent.

Without further questions, Nash and Nina hailed a cab and rushed to Manager Wood's home. When they arrived, the study was packed with people, all of whom stood up the moment they saw Nash. "Mr. York," they all greeted him in unison.

Nash gestured for them to sit and asked, "What's going on? Just tell me."

He had a suspicion, but without concrete evidence, he couldn't be sure.

"William has bribed the company's financial officer, the head of procurement, and several key clients. Most of York Corporation is now under his control. We've been sidelined..." Manager Wood and the others detailed William's schemes, and it was far worse than they had imagined.

Nina frowned deeply. She had hoped for a few peaceful days after returning to Birkham, but it seemed that wasn't going to happen.

She sighed softly.
