The Bribe That Backfired

"Here are the keys to a brand new Porsche," Jason whispered, sliding the shiny black fob across

the mahogany desk. Jason had never studied a day in his life because he never had to.

As the heir to a massive tech empire, he treated his failing Ethics final like a hostile business

takeover. Professor Vance looked at the keys, then down at the empty exam paper.

"Mr. Sterling, this is a bribe," he warned calmly. Jason just rolled

his eyes and doubled down. He pulled out a checkbook, aggressively scribbling

a number with six zeros. He began lecturing the professor on 'real-world economics,'

mocking Vance's tweed jacket and claiming that integrity always has a price tag.
