Chapter 5: The Betrayal Inside the Empire
The traitor was revealed.
Victor Hale.
Marcus’s closest business partner.
The man who had stood beside him for fifteen years.
Victor had secretly helped Isabella create fake evidence.
Why?
Because he believed Marcus’s success should have been his.
“I built this empire with you,” Victor said.
“But everyone only remembers your name.”
Marcus looked at him with disbelief.
“You destroyed innocent people because you wanted attention?”
Victor laughed.
“You have no idea what it feels like to be invisible.”
But Victor made one mistake.
He underestimated Khloe.
She had secretly recorded every conversation between him and Isabella.
Because after the attack, she stopped trusting everyone.
The evidence was enough.
Victor was arrested.
Isabella’s final weapon disappeared.
But before she was taken away, she looked at Khloe.
“You won.”
Khloe stepped closer.
“No.”

She shook her head.
