She had come to understand that this confrontation with Mark was not just about protecting Henry's company; it was about proving to herself that she could change, that she could rise above her past mistakes. The stakes were higher than ever, and she was determined to show Henry that he could trust her again.

As she entered, all eyes turned to her, and she felt the weight of their scrutiny.
"Alison," Henry said, his voice steady but with an undercurrent of urgency. "Thank you for coming. We need to act quickly."
