“Quinn, I really hope you trace this back to Julius,” Marley whispered with savage delight. “I want to see your face when you discover what he did all those years ago. Let’s see if you still choose him after that.”

If Quinn and Julius split over this, Marley figured she might still have a chance with him.

She reached for a bottle of red wine, ready to toast her own brilliance, when a sudden knock rattled the door.

“Who is it?” Marley called.

“Room service,” came the reply from the hallway.

“I didn’t order any room service,” Marley said as she twisted the handle and pulled the door open.

The moment she saw the figure standing on the threshold, her face drained of color, and she tried to slam the door shut.

Bang!

Quinn’s boot smashed the door wide open, sending it recoiling against the wall.

Marley staggered backward, lost her balance, and landed hard on the carpet.

“Quinn, what do you think you’re doing?” Marley shouted as she scrambled up. “Get out or I’m calling the police!”

“Go ahead. I’d love to see how much time you serve for stealing one hundred million,” Quinn said calmly.

“What are you talking about? What one hundred million?” Marley’s anger melted into alarm.

Quinn closed the distance between them. “I’ll give you the money, Marley, but you’re going to tell me everything–how you got that video, where you met Rowan, when, all of it.”

“I don’t understand a word you’re saying,” Marley insisted.

Quinn pressed her lips into a thin line and gestured for the bodyguards to restrain Marley.

“Let me go! This is illegal–I’ll sue every last one of you!”

Quinn ignored Marley’s shouting, grabbed the laptop Marley had left on the side table, and quickly unearthed the records showing how Marley had funneled the money into another account.

She said, “Now tell me, do you still want to press charges?”

All color drained from Marley’s face as if someone had yanked the plug on her blood.

Quinn advanced on her step by step. “Marley, I want everything you know. Say it, and I will let you keep the money. Stay silent, and I will use any means necessary to make you talk.”

“I was traveling near the border in Doria when I ran into your brother. My bag had been stolen, so I went to the police, and the camera footage survived. After I saw his photo, I realized who he was and figured I could squeeze some benefit out of it,” she said, panicking.

“In the video, my brother is being beaten. You get out of the car, but someone else must still be inside, right? He is clinging to the door, speaking to whoever is in the back seat. What was he saying?”
