# Fred's Faked Death: The Shocking Truth Behind the 25-Year-Old Plane Crash

The news exploded across the internet, dominating headlines even in the dead of night. By the time Fred learned what was happening, the story had already gone viral.

It was too late for damage control. No amount of scrubbing hashtags or blocking search terms could put out the fire.

With one scandal, Fred single-handedly turned Northborough’s most powerful family into a laughingstock.

The exposé dug up every detail of Fred’s past twenty-five years, leaving nothing untouched.

It turned out that the infamous plane crash twenty-five years ago—supposedly claiming Fred’s life—was nothing but a carefully orchestrated lie. The so-called tragedy was a ruse Fred devised to vanish from the public eye.

Back then, everyone believed Fred had boarded a private jet bound for France. What no one realized was that, long before takeoff, he’d already slipped away unnoticed.

The jet carried only Fred’s personal assistant and the flight crew, blissfully unaware of the plan. Fred had arranged for something to go wrong mid-flight. It was a one-way ticket for everyone on board.

Just an hour after takeoff, the plane crashed. The world assumed Fred had perished in the disaster.

But why go to such lengths? Fred claimed he wanted to escape Fiona’s suffocating control and pursue true love, even if it meant abandoning the wealth and prestige of the Wentworth family.

But the truth was far more sinister. Before his “death,” Fred had quietly transferred the Wentworth Group’s liquid assets into Swiss accounts.

When the supposed tragedy struck, the Wentworth Group spiraled into chaos—not just because of infighting among shareholders, but because the company’s cash flow had mysteriously dried up.

Fred’s financial cover-up was immaculate. Not even Fiona—left to pick up the pieces—could uncover the missing money. In the end, she became the perfect scapegoat.

Meanwhile, Fred was already living a quiet life in Switzerland with Malvina Ellsworth and Ferdinand.

If the story ended there, Fred’s reputation would already be in tatters. But what came next was even more jaw-dropping.

Fred had secretly invested in a biotech research facility in Switzerland.

His obsession? Human cellular reprogramming. He dreamed of creating a drug that could keep people young forever, extending their lives far beyond the natural limit.

The fortune he’d siphoned from the Wentworth family funded the lab for two decades.

But the most shocking revelation? Fred used Malvina as his test subject.

For ten years, she underwent experimental treatments. At first, it seemed to work—Malvina hardly aged. The breakthrough was within reach. But two years ago, everything fell apart. The drugs’ side effects hit with a vengeance.
