Chapter 4 - The Bank Records Revealed That Lauren Had Been Stealing From Me Long Before She Became Ryan's FiancéeNatalie arrived twenty minutes later.
She carried a second folder.
Ryan tried to stop her.
“You can't bring legal documents into my wedding.”
She smiled.
“Actually, I can.”
She placed copies on the table.
Bank statements.
Corporate registrations.
Wire transfers.
Emails.
Lauren's signature appeared repeatedly.
Lauren stared at the papers.
“This is fabricated.”
Natalie shook her head.
“These came directly from the bank.”
Ryan's father stepped forward.
“You're making serious accusations.”
Natalie looked at him.
“We're not accusing anyone.”
She opened the folder.
“We're documenting what happened.”
The room erupted.
Guests whispered.
Lauren began crying.
Ryan demanded answers.
His father ordered security to remove us.
But then Natalie played the recording.
Lauren's voice filled the room.
“I moved the money like you asked.”
A man's voice responded.
“Ryan doesn't need to know.”
I watched Ryan's father go completely still.
Ryan turned toward him.
“Dad?”
His father said nothing.
The recording continued.
“We'll put everything through Meridian Holdings.”
Lauren asked, “And Mia?”
The man replied.
“She'll be blamed for the missing funds.”
Ryan looked horrified.
I felt no satisfaction.

Only relief.
Because finally, someone else could hear what I had spent months proving.
