The accusations were grave, and along with them, they brought a significant downfall to the shares of the Perkinston Corps once again. Michael Specter had been accused of money laundering. The news headline hit the Monday morning spectators with utter disbelief.
People couldn't believe it. Michael Specter was recently known for his compassionate nature; he had several NGO groups under him, dealing with the eradication of poverty, encouraging education, and providing food and shelter to the needy ones. Thanks to Layla, who had brought this change in him.
Gripping hard on the remote, Michael turned off the TV. Layla, who had witnessed everything, could now make sense of his taken-aback look the day prior during that phone call.
"Michael… Stay strong. I know it's hurting…" Layla went ahead and embraced him in her arms. After so many years of remaining honest and true to the face of the world, is this how people will repay him?
