Chapter 5 - The Shadow of the Rival FirmAt eleven o'clock, as the gala reached its climax with speeches from the main stage, Imogen set her server’s tray down and walked purposefully toward the grand staircase.

She knew that if she was going to expose Harrison and Victoria’s scheme, she needed proof—hard financial proof that Richard Aldcott, as head of the family trust, could not ignore.

Slipping past the security guard near the study, Imogen ducked inside the master library.

The desk lamp cast a warm amber glow over piles of event schedules and financial folders.

Working quickly, Imogen searched the open organizer on the desk. Tucked inside a leather folder stamped Apex Luxury Events was a signed kickback agreement guaranteeing Harrison and Victoria a fifteen percent commission on every charity gala managed by Apex over the next three years!

In addition, the folder contained a forged audit report falsely claiming Reyes Catering had violated health codes—a fake report intended to give Diane an excuse to breach Beatriz’s contract!
