Charles had secretly transferred millions through shell companies during the same year Emily disappeared.

Several former employees finally came forward.
One admitted Charles had paid them to remain silent.
Another revealed that the original kidnapping plan had never been reported honestly.
Charles was arrested outside his private estate.
News cameras captured the moment.

He only looked at Richard.
"I did it for this family."
Richard answered quietly.
"No."
