Before they could even process the shock, court officials arrived on the scene, immediately moving to seize and seal the servers and source code.
The commotion at Hawkins Technology was impossible to hide. It didn't take long for the news of the company's crisis to leak to the public.
Moran Albright and Granger Harden caught wind of the situation almost instantly.
They hadn't spoken to Thorne since the previous night.
They were fully aware of the digital firestorm that had erupted online after the gala, and now, with the Hawkins family facing a catastrophic lawsuit on top of it all...
"Given the circumstances, it's going to be pretty damn hard for Thorne to step in and help," Moran remarked.
If Thorne intervened to save the Hawkins family right now, the public backlash would be absolute carnage once word got out.
Granger simply nodded. "Yeah."
Moran couldn't help but voice the question burning in his mind. "Do you think... Charlene is the one pulling the strings?"
After all, PrimeStar Technologies and Axiom Flux had a notoriously tight partnership.
The timing was just too perfect. The explosive revelations last night followed instantly by the Hawkins family's company going up in flames? It was far too coincidental.
Whoever orchestrated this had even calculated the exact moment when Thorne would be too politically paralyzed to intervene.
Granger hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Hard to say."
Following the chaos of the previous night, Moran had secretly dispatched someone to investigate Yaleborough. He was now absolutely certain that everything Stewart Ferguson had exposed about the Hawkins and Spencer families was the cold, hard truth.
Moran let out a breath. "What do you think is going through Thorne's head right now?"
Even as he asked, Moran secretly doubted that Thorne would actually dump Vesta over the gala incident.
"Not sure," Granger replied, his thoughts clearly mirroring Moran's.
Moran fell silent.
A few moments later, he caved and sent a text to Thorne: 'Do you need Granger and me to step in?'
