Chapter 7 - The Mysterious Ledger Belonging To Uncle David
Inside the safe lay a dusty, leather-bound notebook with the initials D.M. embossed in fading gold lettering on its cover.
David Montgomery, Arthur’s eldest son, had vanished without a trace from the Boston marina over a decade prior under mysterious circumstances.
Arthur picked up his long-lost son's notebook with trembling fingers, opening the first page filled with familiar, neat handwriting.
The journal entries detailed how David had uncovered a massive money laundering operation operating within the family's logistics division.
More damningly, the final entry dated the night before his disappearance pointed directly to Ethan and Victoria’s involvement.
"They didn't just steal money, Ramirez," Arthur said, his voice breaking with a mixture of grief and fury. "They eliminated my eldest boy."
Victoria shrieked as an FBI officer snapped metal handcuffs around her wrists, pulling her away from the safe.
"It wasn't my idea! Ethan was the one who tampered with David's sailboat that night!" Victoria screamed in absolute desperation.
