"Nathan Ayers, based on what you know, does Seraphina Redgrave have any other secret evidence about Veridian Isle?"

Nathan Ayers did not respond, his mood complex as he stared at the gray-black corridor of the Directorate.
"You know I have many concerns in my heart. If she exposes everything she has, it could escalate internationally, causing enormous detriment to Country Z."
Miles Harrington tried to maintain steady tones, yet hints of worry peeked through.

But if its secrets were exposed, revealing Veridian Isle as an outcome of in-fighting among financial giants and its other sordid acts, the impact could shake the earth.
Between nations and financial powers, each has its own interests; none would hesitate to seize this chance to kick Country Z while it's down, potentially even fanning the flames from behind.
