Chapter 4 — The Woman He Tried to Destroy

Chapter 4 — The Woman He Tried to Destroy

Alexander’s wife, Victoria, stepped forward.

She had been silent all night.

“Richard, this is unnecessary.”

Everyone looked at her.

Victoria continued:

“Claire has always been emotional. She exaggerates everything.”

Claire looked at her.

The betrayal hurt more than the fall.

Victoria had been like a mother to her.

Richard noticed.

“Claire trusted you.”

Victoria looked away.

“And you used that trust.”

The room became silent.

Richard revealed another document.

A private recording.

Victoria’s voice filled the room.

“If Claire disappears from the company, Alexander controls everything.”

Guests gasped.

Victoria’s face turned pale.

“You recorded me?”

Richard shook his head.

“No.”

He looked at Claire.

“She did.”

Claire finally spoke.

“I knew the truth would come out eventually.”
