Chapter 2: The Secret Behind Holloway Select Markets
The next morning, Grant expected me to apologize.
He expected fear.
Instead, he received a letter.
A simple envelope delivered directly to his office.
Inside was one sentence.
“You have 72 hours before your empire begins falling apart.”
Grant laughed when he read it.
He showed it to Margaret.
“She thinks she can threaten us?”
Margaret smiled.
“She owns a diner.”
“She doesn’t understand power.”
But they made the same mistake again.
They confused wealth with intelligence.
Because while they were laughing…
I was digging.
David discovered that Holloway Select Markets had been secretly manipulating supplier contracts.
Small farmers were being forced into unfair agreements.
Independent stores were being destroyed.
Employees were being threatened into silence.
And worse…
There were missing financial records.
Money that disappeared through fake companies.
Money that led directly to Grant.
Then David found something else.
A video.
From inside the mansion.
Security footage.
The same day I walked in.
The footage showed everything.
Margaret attacking Hannah.
Grant sitting there.
Watching.
Doing nothing.
David looked at me.
“This is enough to destroy them.”
I shook my head.
“No.”
He frowned.
“No?”
I looked at the screen.
“They hurt my daughter for months.”

I closed the laptop.
“I want them to lose everything.”
