Chapter 419

"I..." Dominic nearly confessed, but a sudden realization stopped him.

"Why should I admit anything? I've never done those things. Evelyn, don't you dare twist the truth just because you have Sophia backing you now. I'm innocent, and I won't be intimidated!"

With that, he ended the call abruptly.

Thank God I caught myself in time. If she had been recording this, I'd be finished.

He exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to his chest, relief washing over him. He had dodged a bullet—no evidence, no confession.

Meanwhile, Evelyn clenched her fists in frustration. She had been so close.

One more sentence, one careless admission, and she would have had the recording she needed. Posting it online would have been the final nail in Dominic’s coffin.

But he had shut down at the critical moment, refusing to take the bait.

He’s too careful. Too calculated.

"I told you he wouldn’t fall for it so easily," Sophia said, unimpressed.

If Dominic were the type to slip up, he wouldn’t have deceived Evelyn for as long as he had. He was cunning—Sophia knew that better than anyone.

Evelyn groaned, tossing her phone onto the desk. "He’s such a coward! He did all of it but won’t own up to it!"

Sophia shrugged. "The world is full of people like him. If everyone admitted their crimes, we wouldn’t need detectives, would we?"

Since she hadn’t expected much from Evelyn’s tactic, the failure didn’t faze her.

"Did you organize the documents I gave you?" Sophia asked calmly.

Evelyn nodded, her mood lifting slightly. "Yes. Thank goodness we still have the records."

"Good. Post them now. Redact the sensitive parts, but make sure the dates and locations are clear."

Sophia scanned the materials one last time before giving the go-ahead.

She had been meticulous when she left DR Holdings.

Dominic thought he had stripped her of everything—her research, her data. But he didn’t know about her backups, tucked away in notebooks and encrypted files.

Evelyn, as her assistant, had her own set of records, documenting every experiment, every adjustment.

Together, their notes were undeniable proof.

The moment Evelyn hit post, the internet erupted.

Neutral bystanders, previously hesitant, now rallied behind Evelyn. The evidence was too solid, too detailed to dismiss.

Handwritten notes, corrections, trial logs—it was all there. No one could fake years of meticulous work overnight.

The backlash was immediate.

Hashtags like #PlagiarismExposed, #CorporateFraud, and #DominicReevesApologize trended within minutes.

Dominic’s reputation crumbled in real time.

"No! This isn’t how it was supposed to go!" he snarled, staring at the screen in disbelief.
