Chapter 8 - THE BILLIONAIRE'S BAIT

Arthur knew a simple police report wouldn't be enough to destroy them; they had too many judges on their payroll. He needed a public execution of their reputations. Arthur sent a message to Vanessa, pretending he had thrown Emily out onto the streets after the "failed" first DNA test. He apologized, claiming the stress had broken him, and invited Vanessa and Richard to a massive press conference at the Sterling Tower where he promised to publicly reinstate the wedding and announce Richard as the new Chief Operating Officer. The rats eagerly took the bait.
