James gritted his teeth. "What do you mean?"
Selina spoke slowly, deliberately:
"That one million wired to Shareholder Taylor—there's no way to explain that away. So why not just pin the blame entirely on someone else? Publicly, you could say Angelica had no idea, that she's completely innocent, because the real mastermind behind it all… was someone else."
"I have a great idea. Want to hear it, Mr. Clark?"
James had no way out. "Say it."
Katie suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the next second, Selina's tone dropped, calm and cutting.
Each word slammed Katie into the abyss:
"Why not… let Katie take the fall?"
"Announce to the public that this was all orchestrated by Katie alone—that she was trying to help Angelica secure the heir position. That she never liked me, the daughter of the original wife."
