The officer interrogating me was Harold Jones, the same middle-aged captain from before.He slammed a stack of documents onto the table with a loud bang. "Wendy Sloan, 28 years old. Owner of a tech company that's valued at a billion dollars. You were a top student and a young entrepreneur. So tell me, why did you try to rob a bank?"I gazed up at him with an innocent expression and said, "I told you already—for the money.""For the money?" Harold let out a frustrated laugh. "Are you short on cash? Your company is about to go public, and you're treating your future like a joke?""It's precisely because we're going public that I'm short on cash." I started babbling nonsense. "It isn't cheap to maintain our connections and polish the books. I had no other option."Harold's gaze sharpened, as if trying to find a crack in my story. "Do you have any idea what the consequences of your actions will be?""I'm aware." I nodded, ticking off on my fingers. "Robbing an armored truck counts

Zachary's face turned pale instantly."Wendy, what the hell are you talking about?" he shouted harshly, trying to cover up his panic."It's easy enough to find out if I'm insane." I leaned back in my chair and glanced at him with leisurely composure."At 10:00 am today, you went into the VIP room at Southgate Bank, right? You met with Melinda Croft, the bank's branch manager, didn't you? You then submitted a 500-million-dollar loan application using my company, Starlight Tech, as collateral, correct?"With every word I spoke, Zachary and Yvette paled a little more. They hadn't expected me to know their every move so clearly."The company seal you used was the one Yvette had someone secretly duplicate. As for my signature, it's something you must have practiced thousands of times, Zachary. You've put a lot of effort into this."I looked at him and smiled cruelly. "Oh, right. You also promised Ms. Croft a ten-million-dollar bribe once the deal was done. You were planning to transfe

The press conference was a great success.Liam's tearful performance, combined with the bombshell about the "overseas trust fund", immediately ignited public opinion.Everyone's attention shifted from the bank robbery and the company's mess to this mysterious, massive inheritance.As I expected, the Leeds couldn't sit still.The day after the press conference, Zachary's mother, Ginerva Rhodes, paid me a visit. She came bearing a fruit basket and a "loving" expression.The moment she entered the hospital room, she grabbed my hand and burst into tears."You poor thing! You've suffered so much. It's all Zachary's fault. He didn't take good care of you and made you…"I stared blankly at her, continuing to play my part as a madwoman.She rambled on, with her main point being that Zachary loved me and that we were about to get married. Once I got better, we'd go register the marriage. She also promised she would cherish me like her own daughter.I sneered on the inside, but my expre

I looked down at the figure who had been silently standing in a corner the whole time—Harold.He gave me a slight nod, and I smiled."What's the rush, Mr. Leed?" I raised the microphone.My voice was tinged with amusement as I asked, "You want the password for that trust fund, right? I'll tell you what it is."Jeremy's movements froze for a moment."The password is the username for Zachary's overseas gambling account. That's an interesting password, wouldn't you say?"Jeremy's eyes widened at those words.Just then, the doors to the banquet hall were suddenly pushed open. A large group of uniformed police officers flooded in.The one leading the charge was Harold, who walked up onto the stage and produced an arrest warrant."Jeremy and Zachary Leed, you're suspected of multiple counts of financial fraud, illegal embezzlement, and premeditated murder. Please come with us for questioning."The words "premeditated murder" hit Jeremy like a sledgehammer. He swayed, and his knees
