Victor then revealed the digital evidence proving that the bank transfers had been created through a cloned network connected to Brianna’s personal phone. The photographs of Gabrielle with another man had been staged using a struggling actor Brianna hired to pose with her at a hotel entrance. The diamond necklace had been secretly planted in Gabrielle’s luggage by a housekeeper who later confessed she was bribed.
Victor then placed another photograph on the desk.
Brianna was seen kissing a man named Brandon Keating, who happened to be Theodore’s largest business rival and had been receiving confidential information from her.
Theodore rose slowly from his chair as cold fury replaced his guilt.
“Prepare everything,” he said quietly. “I want a massive engagement celebration and every major figure in the business world must attend.”
The night before that event Theodore secretly drove to a poor rural town in Texas where Gabrielle now lived inside a small shack built from scrap wood and metal sheets. When he knocked after midnight she opened the door only slightly and tried to close it once she recognized him.
