She Loved the Billionaire Since Childhood — Until Forced to Serve at His Wedding!
Chapter 9
The key opened a private office beneath Langford Tower.
Inside, they found hundreds of documents.
Financial records.
Bank transfers.
Photographs.
Contracts.
And a handwritten note from Daniel.
Ethan read it aloud.
“Richard, if you hurt Brooks, I will expose everything.”
Amelia’s eyes filled with tears.
Her father had not been alone.
Daniel had tried to protect him.
But something had gone wrong.
Then Ethan found another letter.
It was addressed to him.
My son,
If you’re reading this, the wedding has already begun.
Ethan’s hands shook.
I need you to understand why I allowed this marriage to happen.
I knew Richard was planning to destroy the company.
The only way to gain access to his private records was through Victoria.
I also knew Amelia’s family was connected to the original investigation.
Ethan looked at Amelia.
He continued.
If Amelia ever returns to your life, protect her.
Amelia covered her mouth.
Then came the final line.
You loved her before you understood what love was. Don’t let my mistakes become yours.
Ethan lowered the letter.
Nobody spoke.
Victoria began crying.
“My father killed him.”
Ethan looked at her.
“We don’t know that.”
“I know my father.”
She stood.
“I need to stop him.”
They left the office.
But Richard was waiting downstairs.
He had already called the police.
“You’re trespassing,” he said.
Ethan looked at him.
“You know what we found.”
Richard smiled.
“You found nothing.”
Amelia stepped forward.
“We found my father’s records.”
Richard’s smile disappeared.
“You should have left the past alone.”
“My father died because he wouldn’t.”
Richard looked at her.
“I didn’t kill him.”
“Then who did?”
He remained silent.
Ethan stepped closer.
“Tell us.”
Richard laughed.
“You think you’re different from your father?”
“What does that mean?”
“You’ll learn.”
Then police officers entered.
Richard pointed toward Ethan.
“They broke into my private property.”
Ethan raised his hands.
But before the officers could move, Victoria stepped forward.
“My father is lying.”
Everyone turned.
She held up her phone.
“I recorded everything.”
Richard’s face went white.
