Marco's weakness was obvious. He liked credit and he liked being seen. So they built a case that fit him perfectly: a falsified invoice, an edited email thread, a photograph cropped to mislead.

By dawn the story ran in the feeds. Marco called lawyers then Isadora. He did not call anyone who could stop the first wave of damage.
Fiona watched the fallout without glint of celebration in her eyes. Laura watched it for leverage. The operation did what it needed to do: it shifted attention, exposed a weak link, and forced a reaction.
