Chapter 6: The Fall from Grace
Cornered by undeniable proof, Claire’s desperate defense collapsed into bitter tears. She confessed that she had accumulated massive gambling debts in secret and had been selling off the estate's private collections to cover her losses before Whitford’s accountants noticed.

He quietly instructed the private security team to escort Claire to her quarters until the authorities arrived.
