Ian developed the Project CloudTOP at Skyline. However, his boss Eleanor stole his credit, took his office, had him fired. She got promoted to Vice President, took the bonus, bought a Porsche, but knew nothing about tech. Before leaving, Ian planted an authorization lock and a self-destruct code in the CloudTOP. At the final review, the whole system crashed. Eleanor brought in a fake "Caesar" to fix it, but fell for Ian's trap. After that, Ian left Skyline. Olivia, an old friend and Ross Tech's chair, brought him on board. At the bidding, Skyline's demo crashed again. Ian revealed the laurel wreath mark and proved he was the real Caesar. Eleanor was blacklisted for life. She lunged at Ian with a knife, but tripped over a champagne tower and died by her own hand. Ian was promoted to Vice President of Ross Tech. He took back everything he built. Every line. Every win.
