Everyone in the room was watching.
Then Daniel entered.
Behind him were two investigators.
Victoria stared.
“What are they doing here?”
Daniel answered,
“Listening.”
Victoria's face went pale.
“You recorded me?”
Anna nodded.
“You wanted to humiliate me again.”
She looked around the room.
“But this time, everyone heard the truth.”
Victoria tried to leave.
Security blocked the door.
Then police officers entered.
Victoria stared at them.
“This is impossible.”
One officer showed her a warrant.
“You're being questioned in connection with financial fraud, intimidation, and obstruction of justice.”
Victoria looked at Anna.
“This isn't over.”
Anna didn't move.
“Yes, it is.”
Victoria was taken away.
But before leaving, she smiled.
“You still don't know the whole truth.”
Those words terrified Anna.
Because Victoria was right.
There was still one missing piece.
Who had ordered the cover-up?

And why had Anna's father been so afraid of someone inside the Whitmore family?
The answer would come from the person nobody suspected.
CHAPTER 7
Thomas Reed disappeared the same night Victoria was arrested.
Daniel immediately realized what it meant.
Thomas wasn't simply an accomplice.
He was running.
Anna and Daniel searched the company records.
They discovered that Thomas had transferred money to Richard Blackwood for years.
But there was another name hidden inside the transactions.
Daniel's own uncle.
Edward Whitmore.
Daniel felt betrayed.
Edward had always treated him like a son.
He had attended his graduation.
He had helped him start the company.
He had been the person Daniel trusted most.
Daniel confronted him.
“Did you know my father was investigating Richard?”
Edward remained silent.
“Answer me.”
“Yes.”
Anna stepped forward.
“Did you know my father?”
Edward closed his eyes.
“Yes.”
“Did you help Richard?”
