My Free Puppet Betrayed Me

After graduation, Chloe Sterling's startup, Aetheria, is valued at eight figures thanks to her father Julian Sterling's VC fund. A tech geek who hates networking, she makes her boyfriend, Leo, the charismatic face of the company. His ego spirals, and he calls an emergency board meeting to terminate her as co-founder and CTO, threatening to dilute her equity to nothing and telling her to be a good trophy wife.

Unfazed, Chloe mirrors her screen to the projector, revealing a Founder's Agreement signed by her father. Mr. Harvey, the general counsel, confirms she owns the core algorithm patents and her Golden Shares grant absolute veto power. Leo grovels, but Chloe has security drag him out and takes her seat as CEO.

The next morning, Leo's mother, Mrs. Martinez, barges into Chloe's penthouse demanding a chauffeur and the CEO title back for Leo's brother. Chloe throws them out, then grows suspicious of Leo's desperation and heads to the company data center to uncover what he is hiding.
