Cristina confirmed it too—her voice steady, without bitterness.

Everything seemed simple.

Clean.

Until her lawyer spoke.

“Before signing,” he said, “we need to review certain financial matters.”

Damian frowned.

This wasn’t part of the plan.

The lawyer opened a folder.

“The company Reformas Hurtado SL was funded entirely by Cristina Montalvo.”

Silence.

Total silence.

Ruth froze.

Damian blinked, confused.

“That’s impossible,” his lawyer protested. “He’s the owner.”

“No,” Cristina’s lawyer replied calmly. “He manages it. She owns it.”

The truth settled like a weight in the room.

Cristina watched them quietly.
