The Tycoon's Pawn

Withers' smile faded slightly, but he didn't flinch. "I'm simply looking out for the best interests of the company. We've been moving too fast, taking on too much risk. Someone needs to ask the hard questions."

Kiara crossed her arms, her gaze hard. "The company is moving in the right direction, and you know it. We've secured new partnerships, expanded into innovative markets, and brought the board and investors on board. The only risk we're facing is from people like you, who are stuck in the past."

Withers' expression darkened. "The board deserves a say in how this company is run. We've been a real estate leader for decades, and now you want to gamble it all on solar panels and wind farms? I'm not the only one who has concerns."

Kiara took a step closer, her voice low but filled with steel. "You're not concerned about the company's future, Charles. You're concerned about losing your influence. This isn't about the business—it's about you."
