Chapter 10 - Richard Discovers The Truth Behind His Parents' Death
Richard flipped through the handwritten pages of the leather-bound ledger until a specific entry caught his attention.
It was dated November 14th—the exact night his parents’ yacht had mysteriously exploded off the coast of Maine.
“Brake telemetry and engine valves successfully sabotaged by Marcus; insurance payout verified at fifty million,” Victoria had scrawled.
Tears welled in Richard’s eyes as the agonizing reality of his parents' murder washed over his soul like freezing seawater.
They hadn't died in a tragic accident; they had been executed by the very people they trusted to protect their legacy.
“We have enough evidence here to lock them away for multiple consecutive life sentences without parole,” Miller assured him softly.
“Marcus Sterling is currently testifying before the grand jury downtown; he’s already singing to save his own skin,” Miller added.
Richard closed the ledger tightly, feeling a profound sense of closure mixing with the overwhelming grief in his chest.
“I want to be there when Marcus realizes Victoria threw him under the bus first,” Richard stated with cold resolve.
