Chapter 13 - The Signature
The family gathered in the estate dining room.
Arthur placed a contract before Julian.
“Sign.”
Julian read it.
Transfer of company ownership.
Transfer of personal assets.
Transfer of inheritance rights.
Everything.
He picked up the pen.
Beatrice smiled.
Chloe looked sick.
Julian signed.
Arthur leaned back.
“Finally.”
Julian placed the pen down.
“You should read the last page.”
Arthur frowned.
“What?”
Julian smiled.
“I added one.”
Arthur flipped the pages.
His face drained of color.
A recording agreement.
Every conversation in the room had been recorded.
Every threat.
Every admission.
Every lie.
Arthur looked toward Chloe.
“You told him?”
Chloe shook her head.
“I didn't.”
Julian stood.
“I didn't need her.”
Police entered.
Arthur's face twisted.
“You think this proves anything?”
Julian held up the original inheritance evidence.
“It proves everything.”
Beatrice began crying.
Arthur lunged for the documents.
Police restrained him.
Then Arthur laughed.
“You still don't know what Elena has.”
Julian froze.
“What?”
Arthur looked at him.

👉 Arthur was finally trapped, but his last warning suggested Elena still possessed the one piece of evidence that could destroy everyone connected to him.
