Chapter 13 - The ruthless audit
Inside the breathtaking penthouse, Margaret sat at a polished mahogany desk overlooking the spectacular coastline. She wasn't just going to banish her toxic daughter-in-law; she was going to permanently annihilate her entirely. Richard, the impeccably dressed general manager, stood respectfully nearby as Margaret meticulously reviewed five years of detailed financial records. She had ordered a devastating, forensic audit of Daniel and Vanessa's lavish, arrogant lifestyle. The cinematic realism of the betrayal was absolutely nauseating. The legal documents proved that Vanessa hadn't just been a lazy, arrogant parasite living off her husband's trust fund. She had actively and deliberately embezzled over two million dollars from the Whitmore Family Cancer Foundation. She had been secretly redirecting the charitable funds through shady shell companies to finance her ridiculous designer wardrobe and lavish girls' trips to Europe. Margaret's dark eyes narrowed into a lethal, terrifying stare. She didn't feel a shred of pity or maternal mercy. Vanessa had literally stolen from dying children to buy expensive handbags and diamond earrings.
👉 Margaret calmly picked up her encrypted smartphone, preparing to unleash a catastrophic legal slaughter that would destroy Vanessa forever.
