Chapter 5 - THROWN INTO THE NIGHT Two security guards entered the room.
Ethan pointed toward the door.
"Escort her out."
Victoria grabbed her handbag.
"You'll regret this!"
Ethan didn't answer.
She turned toward Maria.
"This isn't over."
Maria held Leo closer.
Ethan stepped between them.
"It is for you."
The guards escorted Victoria outside.
The mansion doors closed.
For the first time in months, silence returned.
But Ethan didn't celebrate.
He looked at the damaged documents.
Someone had tried to steal his son's future.
And he suddenly realized something disturbing.
Victoria couldn't have known where those documents were without help.
He looked toward Maria.
"How much did she know about the safe?"
Maria hesitated.
"More than she should have."

Ethan's expression darkened.
"Then someone has been helping her."
