Chapter 30 - The United Foundation
One year later, Julian Kane officially moved to the United States, joining the board of the Lily Vance Child Protection Fund.
He worked alongside Ethan and Lily, using his family's remaining European assets to establish educational centers across Texas.
The media celebrated the extraordinary story of reconciliation between the Vance and Kane families, calling it an American triumph.
At a grand press conference in Dallas, Ethan and Julian stood side by side, announcing a joint renewable energy project in the Permian Basin.

Lily, now a bright fourteen-year-old high school student, stood beside her father, her eyes shining with happiness and pride.
The Greenwich estate was peaceful once again, its halls filled with music, laughter, and the steady rhythm of a healed family.
Ethan walked through the front garden with Marcus Vance, watching the sunset cast golden rays over the quiet suburban neighborhood.
"We finally finished it, Ethan," Marcus smiled, taking off his sunglasses to enjoy the warm summer evening breeze.
