Chapter 50

Ryan's heart raced as he sifted through the scattered papers, his hands trembling with disbelief. He couldn't comprehend what he was seeing. It was as if the ground beneath him had dropped away, leaving him suspended in a state of shock and confusion.

As he meticulously examined the documents, his eyes widened with each revelation. The evidence was irrefutable – Juliette, the woman he had once trusted, had been siphoning money from the company. The figures on the balance sheets and reports blatantly exposed the financial deceit that had been occurring behind his back.

Ryan's mind raced with questions. How had he been so blind to Juliette's hidden agenda? Was this the reason she broke up with him first, even before he brought it up, to enjoy the fruit of her criminal activities? And most importantly, how was he going to rectify this mess without tarnishing his own reputation?

"Dad, I... I can't believe this," Ryan muttered, his voice laced with a mix of disbelief and anger.
