Chapter 5 - Marcus Uncovers Rebeccas Dark Past And Hidden Motives
While Daniel bullied the corporate board in downtown Chicago, Marcus dug deep into digital records regarding Rebecca.
The glowing screen displayed a complex web of past bankruptcies, falsified credentials, and previous high-society relationships.
“Well, your husband’s mistress has quite an interesting history,” Marcus muttered, spinning the laptop toward Victoria.
Victoria leaned over, scanning the background check documents with sharp, analytical eyes born from decades in real estate.
“Rebecca Vance—or rather, Rebecca Moore—has been through three different shell companies in the last four years alone,” Victoria observed.
“And look at her current debts,” Marcus pointed to a highlighted financial summary at the bottom of the dossier.
“Over half a million dollars in unpaid luxury boutique credit lines and private high-roller casino markers in Las Vegas.”
Victoria let out a cold, humorless chuckle, shaking her head at the sheer stupidity of her husband’s choices.
“Daniel thought he found a adoring young partner, but he actually invited a professional parasite into our lives,” Victoria said.
“She’s pushing him to liquidate your assets so she can clear her own debts and vanish offshore,” Marcus deduced.
“Not on my watch,” Victoria said, tapping her finger against the mahogany table.
“What’s our next move against her?” Marcus asked, readying his encryption tools for deployment.

“We let them believe they are winning every single step of the way,” Victoria instructed with absolute steel in her voice.
“When the trap finally snaps shut, I want both of them completely trapped inside the wreckage.”
