Chapter 4: Isabella Learns the Truth
Hours later, Isabella requested to meet Valeria privately.
She arrived carrying a small envelope.
"I never knew."
Her voice shook.
"He told me his wife died after years of illness."
Valeria remained silent.
Isabella placed photographs on the table.
Julian had proposed to her using the same diamond ring he had once slipped onto Valeria's finger.
Even the proposal speech had been identical.
"He copied everything."
Isabella wiped away tears.
"I wasn't his partner."
"I was another victim."
She handed Valeria the envelope.
Inside was a flash drive.
"I found this hidden in his office."
Marcus examined the files.
Hundreds of encrypted financial transactions.
Fake identities.
Forged contracts.
Millions of dollars routed through offshore accounts.
Enough evidence to destroy Julian's entire empire.
Valeria looked at Isabella.
"You could have destroyed it."
Isabella shook her head.
May you like
"No."
"He already destroyed enough lives."
