CHAPTER 4 — Patricia's Last Gamble
Patricia refused to surrender.
She filed lawsuits.
Held interviews.
Claimed I manipulated her son.
She even accused me of hiding my inheritance to trap Daniel.

The evidence arrived.
Thousands of emails.
Board minutes.
Financial records.
Every document proved one thing.
Daniel had knowingly claimed credit for projects he never led.
Worse...
He had secretly approved millions in unauthorized executive bonuses.
The investigation spread quickly.
Investors demanded accountability.
Banks withdrew their support.
The lawsuits Patricia filed...
Disappeared almost overnight.
Instead...
Daniel became the defendant.

Patricia appeared outside my office.
She looked ten years older.

She lowered her head.
