Everyone was unsure at first, then they started looking worried. They stared at ude, who was on


    stage, and began whispering to each other.

    At first, ude didn''t notice their reactions, but as the room got louder, he turned and saw the photos


    of him holding a woman''s hand on the screen. He started to feel anxious.


    Suddenly, Angus''s group stood up, pointing at the screen. "Isn''t that Mrs. Harris?" The other directors


    from Yancey Bank also stood up,paring the pictures on the screen with those on theirptops.


    They were the same.


    ude''s face became tense and serious. Angus demanded immediately, "What are these pictures


    about, Mr. Pearce? What''s your rtionship with Mrs. Harris?"


    The room filled with gasps and murmurs. ude was the new leader of Yancey Bank, and his actions


    represented thepany. Any scandal could hurt thepany''s reputation and, in turn, the interests


    of the board. This was even more critical since it involved the Harrises.


    The host of the meeting was just as shocked by the unexpected photos. She tried to turn off the


    computer to get rid of them, but despite pressing the button repeatedly, the photos stayed on the


    screen. Angus pressed on, "Mr. Pearce, could you exin your rtionship with Mrs. Harris?"


    More of his supporters joined in, "You''re supposed to be the Harrises'' son-inw, but here you are,


    caught in photos with Mrs. Harris. This shouldn''t be happening at ourpany. You''re the vice


    president, representing our future. How did this happen? Can you exin these photos?"


    ude stood on the stage, facing the board of directors and their growing demands for an exnation.


    Some of his long-time supporters also began to demand answers.


    He looked around at everyone''s faces, feeling betrayed. He knew Tyler was behind this, either as a


    warning or a ploy to get him to resign. He couldn''t believe Tyler sacrificed his family and Olivia''s


    reputation just to fight him.


    Despite his disappointment, ude remainedposed and faced the crowd courageously.


    Angus threatened, "If you don''t exin this, for thepany''s future and our collective interest, I will


    ask the board of directors to remove you from your position as vice president!"


    ude, stillposed, asked Angus, "What do you mean by that?"


    Angus pushed him further, "Can you exin these pictures then?"


    "Why don''t you ask Tyler?" ude retorted.


    ude nced at the host and instructed, "Turn off theputer." As they couldn''t shut it down, it


    became clear that theputer had been hacked.


    Just then, Lh ran to the main switch and pulled the plug directly.
