His voice sounded different now.

“Emma, what happens next?”

I walked toward the door.

“Now we find out what your family has been hiding.”

The emergency board meeting began at noon.

Daniel and Charles entered expecting to challenge the investigation.

Instead, they found a conference table covered with financial records.

I sat beside my attorney, Claire Morrison.

Daniel pointed at me.

“This is ridiculous! She’s retaliating because we had an argument this morning!”

Claire calmly pushed a folder across the table.

“The financial discrepancies were identified before your wedding, Mr. Harrington.”

Charles opened the folder.

His hands began trembling.

The documents outlined questionable consulting invoices, payments to companies connected to Daniel’s college friend, and business funds used for personal expenses.

Among the expenses investigators had traced were Daniel’s luxury vehicle, bachelor-party travel, and private investment losses.

The total amount under examination approached $4 million.

Charles turned toward his son.
