Chapter 7 - The Betrayal Within
Seeing her luxurious lifestyle dissolve into thin air within seconds, Beatrice turned on Arthur like a venomous viper.
"It was all him!" Beatrice screamed at the detectives, struggling against her restraints. "He told me his wife was crazy! He forged the corporate signatures on the bank wire transfers! He has three secret offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands under his brother's name!"
"Shut up, Beatrice!" Arthur screamed, his voice cracking with desperation and rage.
"I have the text messages!" Beatrice yelled back, her eyes wide with terror. "He told me he turned off his phone on purpose so his wife couldn't bother him with his daughter's sick drama! Check his phone!"
The detective reached into Arthur’s floral shirt pocket, pulling out his iPhone and placing it into an evidence bag.
Arthur collapsed onto his knees on the chapel floor, right beside the white lilies, tears streaming down his face as he looked up at his wife.
