Catherine helped college friend Daniel build his consulting firm — lending her Cullinan, subsidizing office rent, covering payroll. Once stable, Daniel betrayed her. Intern Lena falsely accused Catherine of misusing the company car. Knowing it was Catherine's, Daniel fined her, suspended her, and gave her clients to Lena. When investor Victor arrived, Catherine proved the Cullinan was hers. Victor cut ties. Catherine reclaimed her office and exposed their lies. Reed collapsed; Daniel lost everything; Lena faced charges. Catherine reclaimed her car, property, and dignity — and founded Stone Consulting.
