Chapter 11 - Examining The Financial Documents Hidden In The Sacristy

“She planned to empty your corporate accounts and flee to the Cayman Islands before the reception even started,” Chloe realized.
“And she would have used my identity to authorize every single transaction without raising any red flags at the bank,” Mark added.
