Her testimony was crucial, and she delivered it with conviction, knowing that the stakes couldn't be higher. --- During a recess, as Vivian and Alexander stepped out for a breath of fresh air, she noticed a man loitering near the entrance, his gaze fixed on them. There was something off about him, a sense of menace that set her on edge. "Alexander, do you see that man?" she whispered, nodding towards the stranger. Alexander followed her gaze, his expression darkening. "I see him. Let's head back inside." They turned to re-enter the courthouse, but the man suddenly moved, his hand slipping into his coat. Time seemed to slow as Vivian realized what was happening. She grabbed Alexander's arm, pulling him towards the entrance. "Get down!" she shouted, diving for cover as the man drew a gun. Security reacted swiftly, tackling the gunman before he could fire. The scene was chaotic, people screaming and running for cover. Alexander shielded Vivian with his body, his eyes scanning for any additional threats. When the danger had passed, and the gunman was subdued, Vivian's heart was pounding in her chest.

"There's more to this than just business," he said, his eyes intense. "The people we're up against, they have connections in places you wouldn't believe. I've been keeping some things from you, to protect you." She felt a pang of fear and curiosity. "What do you mean?" "There are powerful people involved in this, people who can make or break lives with a single decision. I've been digging into my own company's records, and I've found links to political figures, law enforcement, even international players. This goes deeper than we thought." Vivian's mind raced as she processed his words. The scale of the corruption was staggering, but it also made sense. "What do we do?" "We keep going," he said, his voice firm. "We expose everything. But we have to be smart. We can't trust anyone outside of this room." She nodded, her determination solidifying. "I'm with you, Alexander.
