Chapter 18 - The German Attorney Arrives
At 10:00 a.m. the following morning, a sleek black Mercedes pulled up to the front entrance of the Chicago skyscraper under a clear sky.
An elderly man in a bespoke charcoal suit stepped out, holding an antique leather briefcase and a silver-topped walking cane.
He walked into Victoria’s top-floor office with quiet, dignified authority, bowing his head slightly as he introduced himself.

Baron von Weber set his antique briefcase onto her desk, opening it to reveal a certified copy of the 1924 Hamburg shipping contract.
