The atmosphere in the office was tense as Kiara, Mike, and David dove into research about Ruddy's past. They scoured through company records, old news articles, and any public records they could find, determined to uncover anything that might serve as leverage against him. But beneath the flurry of activity lay an undercurrent of anxiety.
"Okay, let's recap," David said, leaning over a stack of papers scattered across the conference table. "Ruddy has a history of reckless behavior, but nothing that directly ties him to any legal issues we can exploit. If he's careful, he could navigate around anything we might find."
"Maybe we need to dig deeper into his family connections," Mike suggested, rubbing his temples. "Ruddy's father was a criminal. Perhaps there's something there we can use."
"I can reach out to some contacts in the press," Kiara offered, her heart racing. "I might be able to get some intel on his past. Cyndi might know someone who can help."
