Chapter 15 - Arthur Learns The Full Extent Of The Betrayal
Sitting alone in his restored mahogany library, Arthur reviewed the comprehensive corporate audit generated by the federal accountants.
The numbers revealed a staggering betrayal that went far beyond a simple marital dispute or domestic conspiracy.
Marcus and Victoria had been systematically draining the company’s philanthropic foundation funds for over three years.
“They were planning to bankrupt the corporation and flee to South America before the annual audit,” Arthur muttered aloud.
Lily walked quietly into the library, holding her beige plush bunny and wearing her favorite blue pajama set.
“Daddy, are you still reading those scary papers?” Lily asked softly, climbing up onto the leather armchair beside him.
Arthur closed the heavy financial binder instantly, wrapping his arms around his brave little girl with a warm smile.
“No, sweetheart, I’m done reading scary papers forever; today we’re going to the amusement park,” Arthur promised.
Lily’s eyes lit up with pure joy as she cheered and clapped her small hands together in excitement.
