The audio recording played loudly through the silver tablet, exposing Victoria plotting to alter the household trust documents.
“You are destroying our lives with this digital trash!” Victoria screamed, lunging forward to swipe the tablet off the dresser.

“My badge belongs to federal oversight, Victoria, and my fortune was secured before you ever married into this name,” Arthur reminded her.
