Chapter 7 - The Stolen Signature
Refusing to accept total defeat, Helena suddenly stood up, pointing a trembling finger at Clara. "The tape is a fake! Arthur forged Richard’s voice using modern digital editing! And even if the charter was real, Clara signed a non-disclosure agreement six months ago when she joined our charity board!"
Helena pulled a laminated document from her coat pocket—a signed contract where Clara allegedly waived all future claims to Vale property in exchange for a foundation director role.
"Look at the signature!" Helena shouted, holding the paper up to the light. "She signed away her rights voluntarily!"
Clara took a step closer, examining the ink on the laminated paper. "I never signed this document, Helena. I signed an attendance roster for the children's hospital gala six months ago."
Adrian took the document from his mother, holding a ultraviolet forensic light over the paper. Under the special light, the faint ghost lines of a secondary page revealed that the signature block had been chemically lifted from a gala sign-in sheet and printed onto a forged contract waiver.
