He Accused Me Of Stealing But I Heard The Truth Chapter 47
The civil settlement took four months to finalize.
My lawyer insisted that the returned relocation funds, the accrued interest, the losses caused by identity fraud, and Weston Group’s own liability all be calculated as separate items.
The corporation could not package money that was already mine as a gesture of goodwill, and it could not offset Maisie’s medical trust against any other amount.
The board resisted at first.
They argued that Rachel’s crimes had gone far beyond the scope of her employment.
My lawyer listed, one by one, the company systems she had used: the office authorizations, the foundation procedures, the corporate fraud alert.
The rejection letters from the three banks that had turned me away were placed at the very top of the evidence pile.
If the case went to trial, every one of those documents would become public record again.
The board accepted our terms.
Before I signed, I read the final page three times.
There was no confidentiality clause.
There were no custody conditions.
There was no Weston family oversight of how the money could be used.
For the first time, what belonged to me went into an account that only I controlled.
I didn’t tear up the check, and I didn’t refuse it to prove a point.
It wasn’t charity from Derek.
It was what had been taken from me and Maisie six years ago, finally returned.Â
