Chapter 3 - The True Owner of the Empire
Mabel was not an orphaned working-class girl with zero connections. She was Mabel St. Claire, the sole surviving heir to the St. Claire Global Trust—the massive institutional investment group that held seventy percent of Vance Enterprises' voting shares.
Seven years ago, before marrying Flynn, Mabel’s grandfather had placed her inheritance in a blind corporate trust, instructing her to live simply and find a partner who loved her for who she was, not her wealth.
Mabel had fallen in love with Flynn when he was a humble junior manager. But the moment Flynn gained access to upper management, the corrupt influence of his mother and the temptation of greed transformed him into a cruel tyrant.
For years, Mabel had quietly absorbed their insults, giving Flynn chance after chance to remember the man he used to be.
However, three weeks before the gala, Mabel discovered that Flynn and Selina were quietly siphoning millions of dollars from Vance Enterprises' pension accounts into a shell firm registered in the Cayman Islands.
Flynn wasn't just a toxic husband; he was a thief who was systematically destroying the company her grandfather had originally financed thirty years ago.
