Chapter 6 - TYLER COUNTERATTACKS
When Madison placed the black folder on the beach table, Tyler recovered quickly.
He always did.
“That’s confidential company material.”
Madison laughed.
“It has my forged signature in it.”
“Draft signature.”
“You used it.”
“The transfer never happened.”
“Because my attorney stopped it.”
Sienna stood.
“I’m leaving.”
Madison looked at her.
“No one is stopping you.”
Sienna hesitated.
That answer confused her.
Tyler stepped closer.
“Madison, listen to me.”
“No.”
“You don’t understand what you found.”
“I understand twelve million dollars.”
“It was temporary.”
“I understand my trust.”
“I was trying to save the company.”
“You were trying to make me guarantee it.”
Tyler’s jaw tightened.
Then he did something smart.
He stopped arguing about the affair.
He turned the issue into business.
“You benefit if Hale Meridian survives.”
“How?”
“We’re married.”
“That is not an answer.”
“Our finances are connected.”
“My trust is not.”
Tyler’s face hardened.
“There it is.”
“What?”
“The money.”
Madison stared.
Tyler continued.
“You’ve always treated the trust like your real husband.”
Sienna looked uncomfortable.
