Chapter 8 - The Twenty Million Dollar Clause
Maya explained how the late patriarch of the Vance empire had left a hidden twenty million dollar contingency clause in his will.
If Daniel produced a legitimate biological heir before his thirty-first birthday, full control of the estate transferred to the child's mother.
However, if no heir existed, ninety percent of the empire remained under Victoria’s absolute personal management.
"Victoria was losing her grip on the family fortune the moment I got pregnant," Maya said, clutching her blanket tightly.
"She convinced Daniel that I was using the baby to steal his inheritance and destroy his future."
"So they orchestrated a scene on the balcony to make it look like an accidental fall," Hannah added angrily.
