The board members looked at me, their faces grave.

“But the records tell a different story,” I said.

James stepped forward, his face reddening.

“This is absurd,” James said. “Victoria is a pediatric nurse. She has no understanding of high-level hospital administration or procurement logistics.”

“I understand numbers, Dr. Hendricks,” Daniel said.

He opened his folder and projected a spreadsheet onto the large screen at the front of the room.

“These are the corporate registry records for a company called Apex Medical Supplies,” Daniel said. “Over the past year, Harborview paid Apex over one million dollars for pediatric medical equipment.”

“Apex is a reputable vendor,” Mark Bell interjected, his voice rising.

“Apex is a shell company,” Daniel corrected him. “Its sole shareholder is Bell & Associates, which is owned by you, Mark.”

A murmur ran through the boardroom.
