PART 2: THE SECRET RECORDINGS
The very next day, Mauricio filed a lawsuit.
He accused Valeria of fraud, manipulation, and elder abuse.
News channels quickly picked up the story.
Social media exploded.
Many people believed Valeria was a gold digger.
The pressure became unbearable.
Then Attorney Salinas called.
"There is another document your employer left behind."
Everyone gathered once again in the boardroom.
Mauricio arrived with his lawyers.
Valeria sat quietly.
Attorney Salinas pressed a button.
A video appeared on the screen.
Don Alejandro filled the room.
"If you're watching this, I am gone."
Mauricio looked uncomfortable.
"I know my son will challenge my will."
Don Alejandro sighed.
"For years, Mauricio treated this company as his personal bank account."
The room went silent.
The screen displayed financial records.
Unauthorized transfers.
Fake consulting contracts.
Millions of pesos diverted into shell companies.
Mauricio's face turned pale.
"I discovered everything three years ago," Don Alejandro continued.
"I gave my son many chances to change."
Another video appeared.
Security footage.
Mauricio yelling at his elderly father inside a hospital room.
"Just sign the papers!" Mauricio screamed.
"You don't understand business anymore!"
Another clip.
Mauricio leaving his father alone on his birthday.
Another.
Ignoring dozens of phone calls.
Some executives lowered their heads in shame.
Then came the final revelation.
"I did not leave Valeria my assets as charity."
Don Alejandro smiled gently.
"I left them to the person who reminded me what being human looks like."
Mauricio exploded.
"This is a setup!"
But it was over.
The board immediately voted.
Mauricio was removed as CEO pending criminal investigation.
As security escorted him from the room, he pointed at Valeria.
"This isn't finished."

Everyone assumed it was merely an angry threat.
They were wrong.
