章 38: Chapter 38

"Good morning, everyone. We'll now begin the emergency board meeting. I'm sure you all know why we're here, so let's move straight to the agenda."

I sat there, my stomach in knots, but I kept my face calm. Luna Catherine and Mona were staring at me, their eyes cold, trying to intimidate me. But I couldn't let them see any sign of weakness. If this meeting went badly, my father would never get his position back, and I couldn't allow that to happen.

Sir Jethro broke the silence. "We've all seen the emails sent out yesterday, and I trust we're all clear on why we're here. Let's begin by hearing from Luna Catherine. The floor is yours."

Luna Catherine adjusted herself in her chair, giving a small, rehearsed smile. "Thank you, Sir Jethro. First, I want to express my gratitude for the support I've received during these difficult times, especially with Alpha Darwin missing." She paused, her voice taking on a dramatic tone.
