Chapter 11 - Leo Confirms The Identity Of The Secret Mastermind
Julian slid into the leather-lined interior of the SUV, pulling Leo safely onto the seat beside him.
“Did Marcus try to delete the financial ledgers before our team arrived?” Julian asked, glancing at the tablet screen.
“Yes, sir, but our cybersecurity unit locked him out of the main server before he could execute the purge,” the guard answered.
Leo leaned over the center console, peering intently at the glowing architectural blueprints of the downtown skyscraper.
“Marcus kept his real secret safe in the private wall vault behind his executive bookshelf, Daddy,” Leo revealed quietly.
Julian blinked in surprise, turning to look down at his son with an expression of profound astonishment.
“How could you possibly know about Marcus’s hidden wall vault, Leo?” Julian asked gently.
“I overheard him talking on his phone in the hallway last summer when we visited your office for take-out pizza,” Leo explained.
Julian nodded slowly, realizing that children absorb far more of the adult world than anyone ever gives them credit for.
“You’re smarter than all my corporate attorneys combined, buddy,” Julian praised, kissing the top of his son’s head.
