Yet Gavin refused to back down.
"I don't believe it."
His breathing had grown uneven as frustration took over.
"That marriage certificate is fake."
"It has to be."
"You fabricated it to protect your reputations."
Before anyone could respond—
A deep, authoritative voice echoed through the conference room.
"Who says the certificate is fake?"
The doors slowly swung open.
Every head turned toward the entrance.
Edward Emerson walked in with Butler Ben by his side.
Though age had slowed his steps, it had done nothing to diminish the commanding presence he carried.
The moment the directors saw him, they instinctively rose to their feet.
"Chairman Emerson..."
Edward paid them no attention.
His sharp gaze landed directly on Gavin.
"I was personally present when they registered their marriage."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an authority that silenced the entire room.
"I signed the marriage register as one of the witnesses."
