Chapter 7 - The Betrayal of the Mistress
As the second officer stepped toward Camilla with another pair of handcuffs, the redhead dropped all pretense of loyalty. She frantically pulled off the diamond earrings, throwing them onto the table toward the officers.
"It wasn't me! It was all Julian!" Camilla shrieked, tears smudging her dark eyeliner as she pointed wildly at her lover. "He told me Nora agreed to the transfer! He was the one who altered the wire transfers! I didn't steal anything!"
Julian stared at Camilla in utter shock, his jaw trembling. "Camilla?! You swore you'd stand by me! I gave you everything! I took money from my own wife for you!"
"You ruined my life!" Camilla screamed back, ducking her head away from the flashing cameras as the female officer cuffed her hands behind her tight red silk gown. "You lied to me!"
The crowd watched in disgust as the two conspirators turned on each other like wild animals on the ballroom floor.
Malcolm Reed stepped back to the center of the stage, signaling the security team. "Please escort these individuals off the premises. Aurelia Corporation does not tolerate criminals."
As the officers dragged Julian and Camilla toward the exit doors, Julian fought against his restraints, lifting his head to look up at Nora on the stage one last time.
