Chapter 6 - The Gold Digger's Panic
"You're lying!" Vanessa shrieked wildly, her red sequin dress swishing as she aggressively lunged forward. "Richard is a billionaire! He bought me this diamond necklace! He promised me half the company when we get married!"
"He bought you that necklace with stolen corporate funds, Vanessa," Emily replied smoothly, not even flinching as the furious woman screamed in her face.
Emily raised her phone again, putting it on speaker so the entire ballroom could hear the devastating confirmation.
"Mr. Sterling," Emily asked calmly. "Could you please confirm the current status of Richard's corporate accounts?"
"All executive accounts linked to Richard's name have been permanently frozen, Ms. Emily," the deep, authoritative voice of the Chairman echoed through the speaker. "The federal authorities have been notified of his massive embezzlement. We are currently locking down the corporate headquarters. He has zero liquidity and zero access to the family trust."
Vanessa physically collapsed against the marble pillar. She didn't love Richard; she loved his bank account. And his bank account had just been permanently erased in a matter of seconds.
"You told me you were in control!" Vanessa screamed aggressively at Richard, aggressively yanking the heavy diamond necklace off her throat and throwing it violently onto the marble floor. "You're broke! You're a fraud!"
