Chapter 6

I pretended to exchange pleasantries with my dad for a moment, then hung up the phone.

As I handed the phone back to Uncle Bennett, I noticed him visibly exhale in relief.

So he gets nervous about people finding out too.

After arriving at the company, I asked my assistant to compile a list of recent gifts from our business partners. She quickly returned with an inventory.

When I inquired about the whereabouts of jewelry and luxury items, my assistant hemmed and hawed without giving a clear answer.

I reviewed the security footage in my office and soon discovered Uncle Bennett chatting with our partners. Sure enough, he had accepted these gifts on behalf of my dad, then kept them for himself.

I saved the video to my phone and told my assistant to keep quiet about it, then left the office.

On my way back, I stopped at a nearby coffee shop for a drink. To my surprise, I ran into Scarlett.
