Claire sat at a corner wooden table, sipping a hot oat milk latte while reviewing architectural design blueprints.

“I expected as much; a house built on fraud and deceit can never withstand a storm,” Claire replied calmly.
“He’s also facing federal tax evasion charges related to those offshore accounts Marcus helped uncover,” David added.
