Inside Daniel’s private office, Marcus opened the financial records.
Victoria finally admitted the truth.
Her family business was collapsing.
She had secretly invested millions trying to save it.
When the first investment failed, she used more money.
Then more.
Daniel stared at her.
Why did you not ask me?
Victoria looked ashamed.
Because you would have said no.
Daniel nodded.
Exactly.
The unauthorized transfers had become too large to hide.
So Victoria created the new trust documents.
If Daniel signed them, she could move money legally without asking again.
But he had never signed.
So someone copied his signature.
Daniel looked at the yellow envelope.
Why were you carrying this tonight?
Victoria answered quietly.
I was going to replace the papers in your office after the gala.
Daniel closed his eyes.
Lily had accidentally changed everything by wandering near the vase.
If the envelope had never fallen, Daniel might not have discovered the truth for months.
