Her eyes glared at me with pure venom as I approached.

“Are you satisfied, Elena?” she spat, her voice echoing off the marble walls.

“You’ve ruined this family.”

I walked past her to Benjamin and placed a hand on his trembling shoulder.

He looked up, his face pale and aged by ten years in a single night.

“I found the money, Benjamin,” I said quietly.

“Vanessa used Alpenglow Holdings to drain forty-two million dollars from the corporate accounts.”

Benjamin stared at me, his mouth opening slightly but no sound coming out.

“That’s impossible,” he finally whispered. “I sign every major transfer myself.”

“She forged your digital signature,” I said, handing him the warm printouts.

“She used her administrative access to bypass the security protocols Claire put in place.”

Detective Pierce stepped closer, taking the documents from Benjamin’s hands.

Pierce flipped through the pages, his brow furrowing as he read the financial logs.

“This is bank fraud, wire fraud, and grand larceny,” Pierce said, looking at Vanessa.
