He Accused Me Of Stealing But I Heard The Truth Chapter 41
On the first day of the criminal trial, Rachel walked past me in the corridor.
She wasn’t crying this time.
“When they hear what Derek said back then, you’ll understand I’m not the only one who hurt you.”
“I already know that.”
I didn’t break my stride.
“The difference is, he’s finally admitted it. You’re still looking for someone else to carry the blame.”
The jury saw the bank records first.
Henry, the CFO, explained that the relocation fund approved by Derek should have gone into an account with me as the beneficiary. That account was never activated and never received any funds. Instead, the money passed through a “third-party escrow” into a shell company controlled by Rachel, which was then used to buy two properties and cover her personal investment losses.
The defense attorney asked, “Is third-party escrow a common practice for corporate executives?”
“It can be,” Henry answered. “Copying a beneficiary’s signature onto an acknowledgment form, however, is not.”
The information security team then displayed the restored access logs.
Rachel’s account created the escrow request. An administrator token deleted the backend records. The consulting fee paid to the technical director came from that same shell company.
The ER doctor confirmed that six years ago, he had written “possible intentional self-exposure to allergen” in Rachel’s private medical notes.
