Chapter 5 - The Confrontation at the Altar
Standing before the altar in her black-stained dress, Maya looked Daniel straight in the eye as he panicked in front of two hundred wealthy guests.
"Maya... what happened to your dress? What did you do?!" Daniel stammered, his eyes darting frantically between his mother and his ruined bride. "You look insane! You're embarrassing my family!"
"I didn't do this, Daniel. Your mother did," Maya said, her voice echoing clearly across the front rows where her distinguished father sat, his jaw tight with quiet pride.
Eleanor stepped forward, her face twisting into an arrogant scowl. "Don't listen to this street girl, Daniel! She ruined her own dress in a pathetic attempt to gain sympathy!"
Maya reached into her clutch bag and pulled out a sleek black USB drive alongside an official folder stamped with a federal seal.
"Six months ago I found North Vale Holdings," Maya announced in a calm, dignified tone that rang through the chapel. "The federal agents have every ledger, every forged wire transfer, and every offshore account routing number."
