Chapter 10 - THE WOMAN WHO LOST EVERYTHINGVictor left.
Clara turned toward Margaret.
“What did he mean?”
Margaret stood silently.
Finally, she whispered:
“He used to work for me.”
Clara frowned.
“Where?”
Margaret looked at the restaurant.
“Years ago, I owned several restaurants.”
Clara was surprised.
“What happened?”
Margaret slowly sat on a bench outside.
“I trusted the wrong people.”
Victor had once been her business partner.
He had handled the company's finances.
One day, Margaret discovered that money was missing.
When she confronted him, he denied everything.
Then documents appeared.
Documents claiming that Margaret had stolen from her own company.
She lost everything.
Her business.
Her home.
Her reputation.
And eventually, her family.
“I spent years trying to prove the truth,” Margaret said.
“But no one listened.”
Clara sat beside her.
“Why didn't you fight?”
Margaret smiled sadly.
“I did.”
She looked at her hands.
“Then I became tired.”
Clara looked toward the restaurant.
“Do you still have proof?”

Margaret slowly raised her eyes.
“Yes.”
