Chapter 6 - The Paper Trail of Lies
Naomi raised her head slowly, her tear-filled eyes shifting past Julian to fix directly on Richard Vance.
"Six years ago, when I found out I was pregnant with Mia, I went to your office to tell you, Julian," Naomi revealed, her voice gaining strength amidst the silence of the room. "But you weren't there. Mr. Vance was waiting for me."
The room erupted into low, shocked whispers among the high-society guests.
Richard Vance’s face turned bright red with rage. "Silence this woman! Security, throw her out!"
"Don't touch her!" Julian roared, his voice echoing through the grand hall with such force that the security guards immediately froze in their tracks.
Julian turned his back on his fiancée and stared straight at Richard Vance. "Let her speak."
"He showed me bank transfer documents," Naomi continued, her voice trembling with past trauma. "He told me you had embezzled three million dollars from the medical board to fund your research. He said if I didn't take a cash settlement and leave the state forever, he would file criminal charges and put you in prison for twenty years."
