Chapter 5 - The Corporate Guillotine
Clara’s expression shifted into the pure, unyielding focus of a journalist who had cornered her prey. She didn't flinch, and she didn't offer an ounce of mercy to the woman who had tried to humiliate her in her own home.
"Hello, Fraud Department?" Clara said, her voice cold and decisive as she spoke into the phone. "I have the suspect right here. Yes, the purchases were unauthorized. Send the authorities to my address."
Diana let out a horrifying shriek, scrambling to her feet, her pink uniform slipping wildly as she tried to run toward the door. But Mark, finally realizing the severity of his wife's actions, grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Stop it, Diana!" Mark yelled, his voice cracking with shame and anger. "You brought this on yourself! You stole from a corporation!"
Within twenty minutes, two uniformed police officers arrived at the penthouse, accompanied by a corporate legal representative from Clara's media company.
Diana, still covered in dried egg yolk and wearing the ridiculous pink maid uniform, was handcuffed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline. She wept hysterically, begging Richard to pay for a lawyer, but the distinguished older man simply turned his back on her.
"You disgraced this family, Diana," Richard said coldly, refusing to look at her as the officers marched her out of the penthouse.
