His voice was calm.

"I spent three years earning your son's trust."
"Not because I loved him..."
"...because I wanted the truth."
The ballroom lights dimmed as the technician inserted the drive into the reception projector.
A second recording appeared.
Victor.
Inside his executive office years earlier.
"I don't care if the numbers are fake."
"Blame Daniel Foster."
"If the investigation needs a sacrifice..."
"Make it him."
Silence crushed the room.
Adrian slowly looked at his father.
"You knew?"

Guests pulled out their phones.
Lawyers exchanged stunned glances.

Emails.
Signed documents.

Victor's empire began collapsing before everyone's eyes.
