“Your mother is already trying to rally the key shareholders.”

“She is going to try to remove you as CEO.”

“She will claim you are mentally unfit due to the stress.”

Alexander rubbed his temples.

“She can try,” he said.

“But she doesn’t have the leverage anymore.”

“The public knows she lied.”

“It’s not just about the lie, Alexander,” Margaret said.

She opened her laptop again and turned it toward him.

“I’ve been looking into the transaction logs from the foundation.”

“The foundation your mother controls.”

Alexander leaned in to look at the screen.

“What did you find?” he asked.

“There are payments,” Margaret whispered.

“Huge payments.”

“Dating back to the month Emma left New York.”

I stood up from the table and walked over to them.

“Payments to whom?” I asked.

Margaret looked at me, then back at Alexander.

“To a private account in Geneva,” she said.

“And to a shell company registered in Delaware.”

“I think your mother paid off the doctor who signed the sterility report.”

“And I think she paid someone else.”

“Someone in the family court system.”

Alexander’s face went completely still.
