Kicked Out by Her Billionaire Husband — She Returned Five Years Later With the Son He Never Knew Existed
Chapter 8
The project brought Ethan and Olivia together constantly.
They argued over designs.
Budgets.
Deadlines.
Sometimes they laughed like they had before the marriage collapsed.
Then Ethan discovered something unsettling.
The documents used to frame Olivia had never been generated by her computer.
The security footage had been altered.
And the fingerprints on the file cabinet had come from a glass surface used by several employees.
Someone had deliberately built the case against her.
Ethan reopened the investigation.
Daniel Price, his chief legal officer, was skeptical.
“The scandal happened five years ago.”
“I know.”
“Why reopen it now?”
Ethan looked at the report.
“Because I was wrong.”
Daniel stared at him.
“You think someone inside the company framed your wife?”
“I know someone did.”
They started checking old financial records.
One name kept appearing.
Victoria Sterling.
Ethan’s mother.
Not directly.
Through shell companies.
Hidden payments.
Consulting accounts.
Daniel found the connection.
“Your mother transferred money to the security contractor who handled the footage.”
Ethan went silent.
“There’s more.”
Daniel slid another document across the desk.
“Your mother’s assistant paid Olivia’s landlord to terminate her lease immediately after you threw her out.”
Ethan stared at the page.
His mother hadn’t simply manipulated him.
She had planned everything.
