The morning after their night of confession and rekindled commitment, Marcus and Emma sat in the conference room with Mr. Thomas and a team of legal advisors. The air was thick with purpose and determination. Large monitors displayed timelines, communication records, and evidence that had been meticulously gathered over the past weeks.
Mr. Thomas stood at the head of the table, his expression grave but focused. "Daniel has made his move," he announced, sliding a folder across the polished surface. "He's filed a formal lawsuit challenging the validity of the will, claiming that your father was mentally incompetent at the time of its execution. He's also filed a separate complaint with the business regulatory board, alleging financial misconduct on the part of Harrison & Associates."
Marcus felt Emma's hand find his under the table. He squeezed it gently, drawing strength from her presence.
