Sarah stared at the name on Renard's screen.

For a moment, she forgot how to breathe.

The request to change the status of Appendix C had been made while they were examining the original document. The system showed that Charles's administrator account had approved it.

Sarah slowly turned toward Lord Alistair.

“Does this mean Charles tried to change the document's status?”

“Not necessarily,” the lawyer replied. “It means his account was used. We still need to establish who used it.”

  • DRESSED IN REVENGE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE   Chapter 91: The Morning Both Records Were Opened

    Sarah read Martin's message again.The second access was made using the trustee delegation account. It opened the original Declaration of Protection.She looked at Adrian.“Why would someone open the declaration on the same morning Elena's authority was expanded?”“Maybe they wanted to know what it contained before changing the authorization.”“Or they wanted to make sure it could no longer protect me.”Adrian nodded.“Either way, we need the actual access record.”Sarah typed a reply.Please send me the complete record. I want the original entry, not a summary.Martin's response came a few minutes later.I still have the preserved copy. However, I would prefer to explain it in person. There are details you should understand before drawing conclusions.Sarah turned to Adrian.“He wants to meet.”“Then we'll meet him.”Martin Shaw arrived at their hotel that afternoon.He carried a small document case and looked more serious than Sarah remembered.“Miss Vance,” he greeted her.“Thank y

    Peter Hales arrived at the meeting ten minutes early.Sarah stood when he entered.“Mr. Hales.”“Miss Vance.”He looked tired, but his expression was calm.Adrian greeted him before pointing to an empty chair.“Please sit.”Peter placed a brown envelope on the table.“I believe this is what you are looking for.”Sarah looked at it.“Is that your original report?”“Yes. I kept a copy of everything I submitted before my access was removed.”“Why?”Peter gave a tired smile.“Because I knew something was wrong.”Sarah sat down.“Then tell me what happened.”Peter opened the envelope and removed three documents.“The revised authorization came through the Executive Records Office twelve years ago. My job was to review the submission and process it once the required approval appeared.”“Did you compare it with Aria's original authorization?”“No. I received confirmation that the change had been approved. I assumed the legal review had already been completed.”Sarah's eyes narrowed.“So you

  • DRESSED IN REVENGE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE   Chapter 89: The Credentials He Never Used

    Sarah read Victoria's message again.He was removed from the Executive Records Office shortly after the revised authorization was approved.She looked at Adrian.“Peter reported that someone used his credentials without his knowledge.”Adrian frowned.“But he already admitted processing the revised authorization.”“Exactly. So what did he actually do, and what did someone else do?”Sarah opened the document Victoria had sent.It showed that Peter Hales had been given authority to process certain records under Victoria's office delegation.But a second page caught her attention.It was an incident report.REPORT OF UNAUTHORIZED CREDENTIAL USESubmitted by: Peter HalesDepartment: Executive Records OfficeSarah read the first paragraph.Peter had reported that his office credentials were used to access a protected succession file while he was away from his desk.The report was dated three days after the revised authorization had been approved.“Three days,” Adrian said. “That is close e

  • DRESSED IN REVENGE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE   Chapter 88: The Words Victoria Heard

    Sarah read the meeting minutes again.Victoria had been present when Daniel demanded that Golden Phoenix should never control her future.She had heard him.She had also disagreed with him.But Sarah needed more than a sentence in an old document.“Adrian, I want to speak to Victoria.”Adrian looked at her.“Now?”“Yes. I don't want to keep guessing what she meant.”He took out his phone.“I'll ask Renard to arrange the call.”Sarah shook her head.“No. I want to speak to her directly. If she refuses to answer, that will tell me something too.”Adrian nodded.He found Victoria's number and placed the call.It rang several times before she answered.“Adrian?”“Mother, Sarah is here. She wants to speak with you.”There was a brief silence.Then Victoria spoke.“Put her on.”Sarah took the phone.“Victoria.”“Sarah.”“I have the original founder meeting minutes from twelve years ago.”Victoria said nothing.“You were present when Daniel Cross proposed that Golden Phoenix should never hav

  • DRESSED IN REVENGE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE   Chapter 87: The Right to Choose

    Sarah arrived at the archive early the next morning.Adrian walked beside her, carrying the folder containing Daniel's letter, Charles's objection, and the certified transfer records.Helen was already waiting.“Good morning, Miss Vance.”“Has the review been completed?”“Yes. The legal team is ready to meet with you.”Sarah nodded.“Let's begin.”Helen led them into a private meeting room.Two legal officers were seated at the table. One was reviewing a thick file, while the other had a laptop open.“Miss Vance,” the older officer began, “we have examined the documents you submitted.”Sarah sat down.“And?”“We agree that the protection statement was signed by Daniel Cross and Charles Laurent. We also confirm that the archive received it before the main agreement entered restricted custody.”“Then why was it treated as supporting correspondence?”The officer exchanged a glance with his colleague.“The original classification record does not provide a clear explanation.”Sarah's jaw t

  • DRESSED IN REVENGE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE   Chapter 86: The Promise They Tried to Erase

    “Who exactly is challenging the release?” Sarah asked.Helen turned her monitor toward her.“The trustee delegation. Their objection says the protection statement signed by Daniel Cross and Charles Laurent was never formally added to the original Golden Phoenix agreement.”Sarah frowned.“But both men signed it.”“Yes. The problem is that the statement was stored separately. The delegation argues that it was never legally attached to the agreement.”Adrian folded his arms.“Are they saying the signatures are not real?”“No. They are questioning the document's legal status.”Sarah shook her head.“That is convenient. They accept the signatures but refuse to accept what the signatures mean.”Helen remained quiet.Sarah placed the document on the desk.“Who decided it should be stored separately?”“The record does not identify an individual. It only shows that the document was received by the founder archive and later moved into restricted custody.”“Then I want the original transfer rec
