Chapter 2 — The Truth Hidden Inside the Carter Fortune
Chapter 2 — The Truth Hidden Inside the Carter Fortune
Jonathan placed dozens of photographs across the reception table.
Each image revealed a different lie.
Daniel secretly meeting financial advisors.
Daniel forging Emma's digital signature.
Daniel transferring foundation funds into shell companies.
Daniel laughing with another woman inside a private penthouse.
Every photograph carried verified dates.
Witness signatures.
Financial records.
Nothing could be denied.
Emma quietly covered her mouth.
She had loved this man for five years.
Everything had been calculated.
Daniel suddenly shouted.
"She's setting me up!"
Jonathan calmly slid another document forward.
"No."
"You did that yourself."
He produced the final video recording.
Large screens inside the ballroom came alive.
The footage had been recorded inside Richard Carter's private study months before his death.
The elderly billionaire looked directly into the camera.
"If you're watching this..."
"...then Daniel has already destroyed his own family."
He sighed deeply.
"My grandson inherited my wealth."
"But never my integrity."
He turned toward someone standing beside the camera.
Emma.
Much younger.
Helping him organize legal files during his illness.
"You never asked me for money."
"You never asked for power."
"You simply stayed when everyone else disappeared."
Richard smiled warmly.
"So I have rewritten my will."
The ballroom fell silent again.
Jonathan closed the folder.
"Mrs. Carter..."
"You are now the controlling beneficiary of the Carter Family Trust."
Daniel froze.
"That's impossible."
Jonathan shook his head.
"It became effective the moment you publicly betrayed your marriage."
"And according to your grandfather's instructions..."
"...you no longer own a single voting share."
Security guards quietly entered the ballroom.

Not to protect Daniel.
To escort him out.
