Gave him up

Amber POV

Grandpa walked into the press conference looking like he had been waiting years for someone to annoy him publicly.

The woman with the supposedly defective bag was there.

So was her lawyer.

So was the bag.

Reporters filled the room.

I watched everything from bed.

Because apparently this was my life now.

The accusations came quickly.

Poor materials.

False advertising.

Luxury pricing for inferior merchandise.

One reporter asked whether Asher Corporation had knowingly sold defective products.

Grandpa didn’t argue.

He didn’t threaten anyone.

He simply looked at the woman.

“May I see the bag?”

She handed it over.

Grandpa examined it briefly.

Then looked toward her.

“Could you provide the bag identification number given to you by the salesperson?”

The woman hesitated.

“What?”

“The identification number.”

She looked at her lawyer.

Grandpa waited.

“I don’t have it with me.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

Then he asked, “Your receipt?”

Another hesitation.

Nost

Nost it.”

The room changed.

Reporters started murmuring.

Grandpa remained completely calm.

“Digital receipt?”

“I paid cash.”

“Which store?”

She named one.

Grandpa looked toward Pamela.

Pamela checked something on her tablet.

Then shook her head.

“No transaction matching her name or the bag occurred at that location.”

The woman’s lawyer intervened.

“Perhaps the sale was registered incorrectly.”

Grandpa nodded.

“Certainly possible.”

Then he held up the bag.

“Which is why we have another method.”

I smiled.

Here we go.

The bag was taken to the quality-control specialist.

They checked the hidden mark.

Nothing.

Grandpa looked directly at the cameras.

“This bag did not pass through our current production system.’

The room erupted.

The woman immediately started arguing.

She insisted she’d purchased it recently.

Grandpa asked again for the identification number.

Nothing.

Receipt.

Nothing.

Salesperson’s name.

She suddenly couldn’t remember.

Then Pamela brought up the current inventory database.

Every bag produced after the manufacturing pause had been individually recorded.

Every bag carried the new internal verification.

The one in front of them didn’t.

It wasn’t one of the new bags.

It was one of the inferior ones we’d removed from circulation.

Which meant someone had deliberately obtained it.

The media turned on the woman almost instantly.

Questions came from everywhere.

Where did she actually get it?

Who gave it to her?

Why did she claim she’d purchased it recently?

Was someone paying her?

Her lawyer tried to end the press conference.

Too late.

Because while Grandpa had been speaking, Pamela had been investigating her.

And then my phone rang.

“Amber.”

“Tell me.”

Pamela sounded delighted.

“She’s related to one of the fired logistics managers.”

I sat straighter.

“How?”

“Niece.”

Of course.

By that evening, the story had completely reversed.

Instead of-

Asher Corporation Selling Defective Luxury Products

-the headlines became-

FAILED SMEAR ATTEMPT AGAINST ASHER CORPORATION EXPOSED

The woman lasted less than a day under the pressure.

Once our legal team informed her that Asher Corporation was considering action over the false claims and reputational damage, she panicked.

Then she offered a deal.

Information in exchange for us not pursuing her for slander.

Her uncle had given her the bag.

He had told her exactly what to say.

He wanted Asher Corporation publicly embarrassed after being fired.

But once she started talking, she gave us considerably more than that.

Her uncle hadn’t simply known about the low-quality substitutions.

He had participated.

He knew who coordinated shipments.

He knew which employees were involved.

He knew how products disappeared from storage.

And most importantly-

He knew where some of the missing premium merchandise had gone.

I stared at Pamela through the screen.

“She gave him up completely?”

“Names, dates, messages. Everything she still has.”

“Over one threatened lawsuit?”

Pamela shrugged.

“Apparently family loyalty has limits.”

Jason laughed beside me.

I looked down at my stomach.

One of the twins kicked.

“Did you feel that?”

Gave him up.
