Chapter 11 - The AuditBy nine the next morning, Apex Motors was closed.
Corporate attorneys occupied the showroom.
Financial investigators arrived with sealed boxes.
Computers were confiscated.
Every transaction from the previous five years was frozen for examination.
Maya walked through the showroom wearing a sharp crimson power suit.
Employees watched her differently now.
Not as a colleague.
As their CEO.
She stopped beside the Bugatti.
The same car where Eleanor's sunglasses had landed.
"Find every ghost vehicle," Maya ordered.
A lawyer nodded.
"Meaning?"
"Cars that existed in the records but never existed in reality."
The room fell silent.
Maya looked through the glass toward Beverly Hills.
Someone had been stealing millions.
May you like
Someone powerful.
And Maya intended to drag that person into the light.
