Chapter 8 - The Husband Discovers His Father's Dark Double Life
Sergeant Miller turned his attention to Thomas, noticing the legal document clutched tightly in the husband's hand.
“Mr. Vance, what is the nature of the document you are holding?” the sergeant asked professionally.
“It’s a genetic test and a secret trust agreement signed by my late father,” Thomas answered numbly.
“Let me see that file, sir; it may be tied to an ongoing federal investigation into corporate embezzlement,” Sergeant Miller requested.
Thomas handed over the papers, watching as the police officer scanned the high-level legal stamps and corporate seals.
“This isn't just a family dispute; this document links your father’s corporation to illegal offshore accounts,” Miller revealed.
Grandmother slumped further down the sideboard, realizing that her late husband’s secret empire was finished for good.
“He did it to protect us... the company was failing during the market crash,” Grandmother whispered in self-defense.
“He did it to secure a hidden lifeline for his true legacy, and you tried to erase it,” Eleanor stated fiercely.
