"At my son’s wedding, my wife came home shaking and whispered that she had only fallen. Two days later, the venue manager called and told me to come alone because they had rechecked the footage. When I saw what my son and his bride had done to her, I didn’t call them. / Chapter 2 / 10

Chapter 2 - Cracks in the Golden Empire

To the outside world, Michael and Cassandra’s marriage is a fairy-tale pairing of two rising stars in the Philadelphia corporate scene. Robert begins examining the financial and professional links tying his own wealth and estate planning to Michael. As a senior partner in a commercial real estate firm, Robert had set up a major family trust that funds Michael’s boutique marketing agency. Robert quiet-audits the agency and discovers that Cassandra’s influential family has been using Michael’s firm to route dubious off-book transactions. Meanwhile, Michael calls his father demanding a "loan extension" for a luxury home purchase, casually lying about how great his mother looked at the wedding. Robert keeps his voice calm, granting a temporary reprieve while secretly laying the trap to freeze the trust funds completely.
