Chapter 488
Chapter 488:
“You’re lying to protect Victoria.” Alexander’s voice grew heated. “These documents have been altered just like you claim mine were.”
“Were real. Your uncle was consumed by guilt over the deaths he caused. He couldn’t live with the responsibility for those seventeen lives, so he tried to blame someone else. When that failed, when the courts found Meridian Technologies liable, he took his own life rather than face the consequences.”
Alexander pushed the court documents away without reading them carefully. “You think I’m stupid? You think I’ll just accept your version of events because you wave some papers in my face?”
“I’m not destroying my uncle’s memory based on lies from Victoria Kane’s protector,” he said bitterly.
“You haven’t destroyed anything yet. Victoria Kane is still walking free after murdering seventeen innocent people.” Alexander’s eyes blazed with unshaken conviction. “You can wave all the fake documents you want, but I know what she did.”
“Someone who benefits from Kane Industries’ collapse. Someone who saw your grief as a tool to be used.” Richard’s voice softened slightly with frustration. “Someone who is probably planning to continue their attacks even now that you’ve been exposed.”
“Good. Victoria Kane deserves everything that’s coming to her.” Alexander stood up, his posture defiant. “And if you try to protect her, you’re complicit in covering up mass murder.”
“You have to stay away from my daughter.” Richard’s voice turned ice-cold again. “And you have to stop this insane vendetta against Victoria.”
“Never.” Alexander’s voice was firm with resolution. “Victoria Kane will pay for what she did to my uncle and those seventeen families. If you want to protect a killer, that’s your choice. But I won’t stop seeking justice.”
“Justice?” Richard laughed bitterly. “You surveilled her private conversations. You used her wedding day as cover for photographing Victoria. You spent your honeymoon planning how to destroy her family’s company. That’s not justice, Alexander. That’s obsession with revenge.”
Alexander’s face twisted with pain and anger. “My uncle died because of Victoria Kane. Seventeen people died because of her greed. I won’t let her escape consequences just because she has powerful friends protecting her.”
“I have to do this,” Alexander said firmly. “And I won’t be stopped by threats or fake evidence.”
“Then you’re beyond help.” Richard moved closer, his presence intimidating despite his smaller stature. “But hear this clearly: if you continue attacking my daughter’s company, if you hurt Camille any more than you already have, I will destroy you personally.”
“Destroy me for seeking justice? For honoring my uncle’s memory?” Alexander’s voice was bitter. “At least I’ll know I stood up to corruption instead of enabling it.”
“You’re not seeking justice. You’re seeking revenge based on lies.” Richard gathered up the documents. “But you’re too blinded by hate to see the truth, even when it’s put in front of you.”
