Richard Payne was never short on confidence. In his eyes, his wife, Grace Jennings, was only interested in shopping for fancy handbags and indulging in sweets. He doubted she had room in her head for anything more complicated. So when Nina Scott walked in wearing that white dress, tears streaming down her face as she said the company needed 10 million to keep things running, Richard didn't even hesitate. "Relax. I'm the one who makes all the money in this family. What could she possibly know?" he said. Nina's tears turned into a smile as she leaned into his arms. "You're amazing. Not like Grace. She's just a pretty face who only knows how to spend money." They sat in his office, sipping red wine and dreaming about the wonderful life they'd have once Grace was finally out of the picture. What they didn't realize was that hidden inside the asset transfer contract they were about to sign was a deadly VAM. And the so-called "pretty face" they kept mocking was downstairs in the café, coolly pressing the confirm button to dump her stocks.
