Semua Bab Too Late To Regret, My Hockey Star Ex-Husband: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Marcus Sterling's POV"Marcus, Victoria has been transferring Sterling organization assets to offshore accounts controlled by Catherine Walsh's criminal enterprises. We have forty-eight hours to stop her before she completes the systematic looting of our family business."Tyler's urgent call forced me to confront the choice I had been avoiding for weeks. My cousin Victoria was actively destroying the Sterling empire while federal investigators prepared assassination protocols against my sister Ophelia. Protecting family loyalty meant enabling criminal conspiracy. Supporting justice meant potentially sending Victoria to federal prison for the rest of her life."Tyler, how much money has Victoria already transferred? Are we talking about millions or hundreds of millions in stolen assets?""Marcus, our intelligence suggests that Victoria has moved over three hundred million dollars to accounts that Catherine Walsh controls. She's systematically stripping Sterling organization of liquid a

Rose Miller's POV"Dr. Miller, we need to accelerate the timeline for eliminating Ophelia Sterling. Victoria Sterling's arrest has compromised our operational security."Catherine Walsh's voice carried cold calculation as she spoke through the secure phone line to my Manhattan hotel room. The news of Victoria's federal arrest had shattered my belief that our conspiracy was proceeding according to plan."Catherine, Victoria's cooperation with federal investigators could expose everything we've been planning. She knows about my false testimony, your criminal organization, and the systematic frame-up operation against Ophelia.""Dr. Miller, that's exactly why we need to implement final contingency plans immediately. Ophelia Sterling must be eliminated before Victoria can provide federal investigators with comprehensive testimony about our operations."I felt cold fear as I realized that Catherine Walsh was discussing murder rather than continued legal manipulation and character assassina

Victoria Sterling's POV"Board members, before this meeting concludes, I have critical information about Ophelia Sterling's psychological fitness for leadership that federal investigators discovered during their expanded examination of our family history."I stood before the Sterling organization board, holding the psychiatric files that would deliver my final devastating attack against Ophelia's inheritance claim. Even though I was facing federal charges and cooperation agreements, I still had one weapon left that could destroy my cousin's credibility permanently."Margaret, Charles, David - what I'm about to reveal will explain why Ophelia has consistently made poor decisions throughout her adult life and why placing her in control of Sterling organization would expose our business to continued manipulation and betrayal."I opened the sealed psychiatric file that Catherine Walsh had provided me months ago, containing medical records from when Ophelia was eight years old."In 1995, w

Tyler POV"Ophelia, Catherine Walsh has been arrested by federal agents, but she activated assassination protocols before her capture. Professional killers are moving against Sterling family members right now, and our security teams are engaged in active combat operations to protect everyone."I spoke urgently into my phone while coordinating defensive operations from the Sterling headquarters security center, but my main concern wasn't the immediate threat to our lives. My focus was on the woman I loved, who had just learned that her entire personality had been shaped by childhood trauma that I never knew existed."Tyler, I need to get the board to safety and ensure that Sterling organization operations continue despite the assassination attempts. Can your security teams protect the building while we complete the leadership transition?"Ophelia's voice carried the same calm determination I had heard in the boardroom when Victoria revealed her childhood psychological programming. She

Landon's POVThe call from FBI Agent Morrison reached me at the youth hockey center where I was cleaning equipment after the evening training session. My hands were still raw from scrubbing skates and organizing gear for kids whose parents could barely afford basic equipment, but when Agent Morrison explained that Catherine Walsh had escaped federal custody and was planning to kill Ophelia, I dropped everything."Mr. Hayes, we need every piece of information you have about the criminal network that connected Derek Thompson to Victoria Sterling and Rose Miller. Catherine Walsh has been coordinating their activities, and she's now implementing assassination protocols against the Sterling family."I sat heavily on the wooden bench in the equipment room, surrounded by the smell of hockey tape and the echoes of children's laughter from earlier in the day. This small, humble space had become my entire world after losing everything I had built as a professional athlete, but somehow it felt m
