Chapter 16 - Raymond’s Last Lie
Raymond took a plea to avoid dying in prison without medical treatment.
He testified against Bianca.
Then he tried one final manipulation.
He claimed Julian had known about the offshore transfer.
He produced an email.
Forensic experts proved it fake.
Adrian had created it months earlier.
Raymond had planned an escape route in case Bianca failed.
Bianca realized Raymond intended to sacrifice her from the beginning.
She broke in court.
“You said we were partners.”
Raymond did not look at her.
“You were useful.”
Those three words destroyed what remained of her loyalty.
Bianca asked to change her plea.
Her lawyers stopped her.
She insisted.
Before sentencing, she gave prosecutors every account Raymond controlled.
Millions were recovered.
Not redemption.
Cooperation.

Julian refused to call it more than that.
