Charlotte wiped the last of her tears, her grip on the documents tightening. The sadness in her heart slowly turned into determination. She had spent too many years under her stepmother's control, believing she had nothing. But now, she knew the truth—everything belonged to her.
Her father's company. His wealth. His legacy.
And she was going to take it all back.
She looked up at James, her eyes filled with newfound strength. "I will get everything I own back to me very soon."
James smirked, proud of the fire burning in her gaze. "That's my girl." He placed a reassuring hand on her waist. "And I will help you, honey. Every step of the way."
A Plan Begins
Charlotte took a deep breath. "First, we need proof that Janet forged everything. If she's been running the company, there must be records… something illegal."
James nodded. "I can have my people look into it. And if she's been stealing, we'll find out."
Charlotte's hands clenched into fists. "She lied to me, took my father's company, and treated me like I was nothing. She killed him, James." Her voice wavered, but her determination didn't. "I want justice."
James pulled her closer, his voice firm. "And you'll get it. But we have to be smart."
Charlotte nodded, understanding. Rushing in blindly wouldn't work—Janet was too manipulative. But with James by her side, she knew they would expose the truth.
She wasn't just a victim anymore. She was the rightful heir.
And soon, the world would know it too.
