The Billionaire Regretted Losing His Invisible Wife novel Chapter 109

Chapter 135 Murder Plots

Mia’s POV

I sat up so quickly the room spun grabbing the tablet with suddenly trembling hands. The article was from the New York Times, dated this morning:

Richard Williams, founder of Williams Construction Group, was arrested yesterday evening on charges of attempted murder and financial fraud. Williams, 62, is accused of orchestrating the “accident” that left his first wife, Sarah Williams, in a coma for over a decade. The arrest comes after months of investigation prompted by Sarah Williams’ miraculous recovery earlier this

year.

Sources close to the investigation reveal that financial records indicate Williams may have been systematically embezzling from his wife’s considerable family holdings during her incapacitation, using the funds to shore up his failing business ventures.

Williams’ second wife, Helen Porter-Williams, has also been taken in for questioning. Legal experts suggest she may face charges of conspiracy and financial fraud.

The Williams Construction Group has issued a statement expressing shock at the allegations and asserting that the company’s operations remain stable despite the founder’s legal troubles…

“Oh my God,” I whispered, unable to tear my eyes from the screen. “He really did it. He really tried to kill her.”

Scarlett sat beside me, her hand warm on my arm. “Are you okay?”

I looked up at her, strange emotions warring within me. Shock, yes. Anger, certainly. But also a pride in my mother.

Mom really did. She made the person who hurt her pay.

“My mom did this,” I said.

“Badass Sarah Williams takes no prisoners,” Scarlett said, a hint of admiration in her voice. “Should we call her?”

I checked the time. Six-thirty here meant half past midnight in New York. “No, it’s too late there. I’ll try later this morning.”

I scanned the rest of the article, taking in the details. The investigation had apparently been ongoing for months, with multiple financial institutions providing evidence of suspicious transactions dating back years. The attempted murder charge hinged on testimony from a former employee of my father’s-James Young’s widow, according to the article. Mrs. Chen.

“At least now we know why your mom was so interested in James,” Scarlet observed, reading over my shoulder. “She was putting together the pieces all along.”

“She never gave up,” I murmured, thinking of all those years my mother had been trapped in that hospital bed, while my father and Taylor lived their lives as if she didn’t exist. All the while, her mind had been working and planning.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand -a text from an unknown number:

Your mother asked me to let you know she’s fine. The news is out, but she’s safe and has excellent legal representation. Try not to worry. – Linda Chen
