One of the men, an older gentleman with a sharp gaze, leaned forward, studying Michael intently. "You realize the risk you're taking. Vanessa has resources, connections… she won't go down quietly."
Michael nodded, his expression unwavering. "I understand the risks. But if we don't act now, she'll only grow more powerful. We can't afford to be afraid anymore."
The man glanced around at the others, and after a moment, he gave a small nod. "We're with you. We'll start the process of building a case and gathering more witnesses. But be careful, Michael. Vanessa won't take this lying down."
As the meeting concluded, i felt a wave of relief wash over me. We had allies. We weren't fighting this battle alone.
But just as we were leaving the building, my phone buzzed. I glanced down, my heart skipping a beat when i saw Vanessa's name on the screen.
