Part 3: The Boardroom Audit
The central executive center at Robles & Sons Logistics was completely surrounded by the time the clock struck 9:00 a.m.
Three plainclothes federal compliance investigators stood rigidly by the glass turnstiles, reviewing their encrypted administrative folders.
The high-rise building smelled faintly of expensive floor wax and old, corporate money that had never been questioned.
Carmen Robles sat at the head of the massive mahogany conference table, her gold gala dress replaced by a sharp designer suit.
Javier sat right beside her, his fingers tapping nervously against his leather portfolio as he tried to maintain his high-society composure.

"It was a criminal identity theft completed while your bride was being systematically assaulted inside the honeymoon terminal."

The corporate lawyers standing behind Carmen immediately closed their briefcases, their faces turning completely pale under the neon lights.
They realized that the entire multi-million-dollar empire was no longer facing a civil dispute, but an absolute criminal foreclosure.
