All Chapters of Mommy, Please Forgive Daddy: Chapter 111 - Chapter 117

CHAPTER 111: THE SISTER ELEANOR LOSTCREIGHTON'S POV The rain had stopped by the time I arrived at my mother's estate, leaving the courtyard damp beneath a thick haze. Warm light spilled from the drawing room windows, but the rest of the house was quiet.I carried the leather folder into her study, my footsteps echoing across the marble floor.Eleanor sat beside the fireplace with an old photo album open on her lap. She looked up as I entered, her gaze settling on my damp coat and tense expression.“You look as though you haven't slept in days, Creighton,” she remarked. “Or perhaps you've spent another night chasing Priscilla Marlow's ghosts through old legal records.”I ignored the comment and took the chair opposite her.After opening the folder, I removed three documents and placed them on the table: the altered Aethelgard loan schedules, the harbor permit transfer records, and Arthur Marlow's final le

CHAPTER 113: THE LETTER THAT COULD DESTROY MARLOWPRISCILLA'S POV"We have a situation on the morning networks," Bree said, pushing open the door to my inner office without knocking. Her voice was strained as she placed a tablet on my desk, her face drained of color. "Sterling Global's legal PR team held an unscheduled press briefing twenty minutes ago. They just dropped a bombshell."I leaned over the desk, my stomach sinking as the news broadcast appeared on the screen. A silver-haired spokesman for Sterling stood behind a podium, holding up a clear plastic sleeve containing a faded, yellowed piece of stationery."This newly surfaced historical document," the spokesman announced in a smooth, calculated voice, "is an original letter written by Arthur Marlow in October 1995. In it, Mr. Marlow explicitly describes his intention to use confidential industry intelligence to dismantle competing logistics firms, specifically targeting Evelyn Vance & Co. to force a hostile liquidation."My

CHAPTER 115: THE UNRAVELING LEAKPRISCILLA'S POVWe worked through the night as Grace and our legal team prepared our response to the licensing board, while Creighton’s analysts assessed the damage a suspension would cause.Sterling’s lawyers claimed irregularities in the historical transfer of the northern harbor permit called our current shipping authorizations into question. We had to show that Locker 402 exposed manipulated transactions, not deliberate wrongdoing by Marlow Holdings. Grace linked the altered Aethelgard loan schedules, intermediary accounts, and transfer of my father’s defaulted liabilities in a single timeline.At three in the morning, my door opened.Elena stood in the doorway, head bowed and eyes swollen from crying. I barely recognized the woman who had managed my appointments through Pree’s difficult periods.“Come in, Elena. Close the door.”She approached my desk, hands trembling. “I saw the filings for tomorrow’s hearing.”“Sit down.”Elena sank into the arm

CHAPTER 117: A FUTURE OF THEIR OWN PRISCILLA'S POV Eight months had passed since the court froze Sterling’s attempted transfers.The order did not end the fight overnight. It stopped Victor from moving the disputed harbor assets while investigators traced the money. Months of subpoenas, audits, and witness interviews strengthened the case. The primary phase of the federal investigation had concluded; several Sterling-linked holdings were under court-appointed receivership, while other disputed acquisitions remained before the courts. Victor faced criminal charges but had not been convicted.The Aethelgard network had been broken apart. Some people had agreed to cooperate, while others remained under investigation. The three-week gap in my father’s correspondence was still unexplained, but verified records and testimony established that Arthur had been manipulated and others had profited from his collapse.That morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of the restored Marlow hea
