Chapter 17 - Uncovering A Hidden Digital Signature In Swiss Archives
While reviewing archived family trusts with Samuel Vance, Chloe discovered a series of encrypted Swiss bank files dating back thirty years. The records contained digital signatures belonging to her late father, pointing to an undisclosed international reserve account in Geneva.
"This account wasn't part of the original estate filings," Samuel noted, his eyes narrowing as he analyzed the encrypted lines of code. "It appears your father set up a secondary protection protocol that was meant to unlock only if Vance International faced a hostile takeover."
Chloe’s pulse quickened as she looked at the ledger values attached to the Swiss reserve account. "There's over five hundred million dollars in this account, Samuel," she whispered. "And someone has been trying to access it from an IP address in Zurich for the past forty-eight hours."
