Chapter 127: Megan abused her authority.
Augustine stepped into a small apartment, the air heavy with antiseptic and tension. Gustave met him at the door and silently led him down a narrow hallway into a bedroom.
"He was in too much pain," Gustave explained quietly. "The doctor had to sedate him."
Augustine approached the bed, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the man lying there motionlessly. Bandages were wrapped tightly around his head, his face pale and still.
"Did he say who hired him?" Augustine asked.
Gustave sighed, frustration in his expression. "He tried. But before he could say anything useful, the pain got worse. The doctor had to give him a sedative. I’ve already started digging—tracking who he met and where he went over the last few days. I’ll find something."
Augustine’s eyes darkened. A pit in his gut told him this wasn’t a random accident. This was targeted. His thoughts immediately went to his uncle and Denis. He suspected that they were using Anne as a way to strike back at him.
"Check for ties to Gabriel and Denis," he said sharply. "I want a full background—every place he has been, every person he has spoken to."
Without another word, he turned and walked out of the room, Gustave trailing after him.
"What about Megan?" Augustine asked, settling onto the sofa in the hall, one leg casually crossed over the other. "Did you look into her? I want her out of the company. Soon."
Gustave gave a slow nod. "I did. According to the records, Megan Granet was hired through the standard process. Everything checks out. She is highly qualified—international work experience, solid education. HR’s assessment says she is a good fit for the role."
He pulled a file from his briefcase and handed it over. "These are her documents. You can go through them yourself."
