Chapter 227
Elaine’s brow furrowed. “You have good news involving Ayla? Seems unlikely.”
Harriet couldn’t suppress her grin at the comment. “I know. Highly irregular. But I can confirm that there is good news regarding Ayla that could help us.
“I trust you all know of Ayla’s foundation?”
“The one named after her investors?” Nancy mused.
“Can’t say I haven’t put much thought into it,” Elaine said.
Harriet smirked. “Neither did I until the lawsuits started coming in. Multiple corporations decided it was a good idea to donate to her charity. Though nothing notable has been done with the money. Not even the plagues promised for making such hefty donations. ?
“In fact, it seems as if none of the many donated to the K.A.L.M Foundation actually makes its way back into the organization.”
Liam’s eyes widened. “So where does all their money go?”
“Right back to the investors,” Harriet said as she picked up her plate once more, taking a spoonful of the
contents.
“They’re embezzling money,” Elaine said
“More like fraud. I think Ayla knows exactly what’s going on. I looked into it and all the thousands of dollars that the investors paid into the program, they’ve been taking right back. Not such a non–profit organization as they like to claim,” Harriet said.
Liam shook his head. “Ayla is digging her own grave at this point.”
“It’s nothing without proof,” Elaine reminded.
“I have the lawsuits myself and proof from their own financial statements that they’ve been doing this.” Harriet took another bite. Swallowed. “All the proof we need to ruin Ayla’s name for good.”
“Proof against her character with Lucas as well,” Elaine mumbled.
