Under the Heiress' Facade

Everyone present was speechless at the announcement by the police officer.

A company's stock being forcibly delisted from the stock market with no chance of relisting was worse than bankruptcy. It meant that the company was being completely blacklisted. Gaskell Corporation was finished.

Terence's mind went blank. He knew there were problems with the company's financial statements.

It was caused by Queenie's deal with Raven, which transferred 1.05 billion dollars from the company's account. This budget overrun was significant, and since Queenie didn't finalize the cooperation with Raven, he knew that the major shareholders wouldn't accept this loss.

Thus, he had to create the falsified financial statements. He never expected this to be discovered, though.

That night's banquet was supposed to be the Gaskells' comeback to reclaim their status in Norburgh. Instead, they fell into a deep abyss before reaching the peak.

"That's impossible! How could it happen? Gaskell Corporation's finances can't be having problems! Let me go! I need to see the stock market securities in person," Queenie angrily shouted while struggling.

The police continued to hold her down.

"Don't move! We will show you the evidence of your crime."

The implication was clear. The falsified financial statements were just a minor issue. She had much more severe crimes to answer to.

Everyone's interest was piqued.

The news of Amelia going to prison a couple of days ago was still fresh in everyone's mind. Now, with the trouble at Gaskell Corporation and Queenie possibly being the main culprit, many who had been bullied by her started to anticipate her downfall.

It seemed like the universe was finally done with Queenie and the Gaskells.

"What evidence do you have? You have no right to touch me without a warrant!"

Queenie continued to struggle when a familiar voice, amplified by the speakers, interrupted her.

"I was ordered by Queenie Killian."

The large screen in the banquet hall, which had been playing Gaskell Corporation's promotional video, suddenly switched to show Amelia.

Everyone turned over to look at the screen after hearing the voice.

On the screen, Amelia was sitting behind bars in a prison uniform, looking haggard with a reddened nose and eyes.

"When Isabella and her mom came

to my house looking for my mom, she told me to send them away. I arranged for them to go abroad on her orders. I didn't know that they were imprisoned later. I just found out that they were dead only recently.

"It was Queenie who told me they had escaped and asked me to check the place where they were being imprisoned. That was when b realized I had been deceived..."

Queenie stared at the screen in disbelief. She had even forgotten to struggle against the police. SheProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

wondered how there could be amet

interrogation video of Amelia. The authorities never mentioned this to her.

"Who made this? It's a fake video! Turn it off now!" she shouted.

However, no one paid attention to her except for those reporters who were livestreaming the event. They were still aiming their cameras at her. The video continued to play.

"Later, when I went back to question her, she told me not to worry and just to proceed. She and..."

Amelia's voice faltered at that point.

"She and who?"

The interrogator's voice could be heard asking in the video.

Amelia seemed reluctant to reveal the identity of the other person. She then changed her response.

"She said she would bail me out."

Queenie's eyes widened in shock. Amelia was revealing everything!

She would be doomed if this continued.
