Chapter 19 - A Retired Associate Confesses A Terrifying Family Secret
Two days later, an elderly retired accountant named Arthur Pendelton visited Adrian at his sprawling stone estate.
Arthur had worked for Adrian’s grandfather and knew every dark secret buried in the history of Whitmore Infrastructure.
“There’s something else you need to know about your grandfather’s will, Adrian,” Arthur said nervously in the study.
“What are you talking about, Arthur? The company was passed down cleanly to me,” Adrian said, frowning deeply.
“Your grandfather knew about Sterling’s corruption years ago; he tried to fire him, but Sterling threatened exposure,” Arthur revealed.
“Exposure of what?” Adrian asked, his heart skipping a beat as he leaned forward across the mahogany desk.
“Exposure of how your grandfather built this empire during the 1970s using illegal municipal kickbacks and shell contracts.”
Adrian stared at the old accountant in stunned disbelief, realizing his family’s legacy was built on a foundation of sand.

“Sterling didn't just steal from the Keane family; he was blackmailing your entire lineage for decades,” Arthur confessed.
