Chapter 14 - A Mysterious Package Arrives At The Front Entrance Gates
A heavy postal van pulled up outside the wrought-iron security gates of the Sterling estate on a rainy Tuesday morning. The delivery driver handed a thick manila envelope to the gate guard, who scanned it thoroughly with a handheld metal detector.
The guard carried the package directly to the main study and placed it neatly on the corner of Julian’s desk.
Julian sliced open the heavy paper wrapping with a silver letter opener, pulling out a single sheet of embossed stationery.
There was no return address, only a typed message written in bold, unmerciful capital letters.
“SHE DIDN’T ACT ALONE. CHECK THE CORPORATE BOARDROOM EXECUTIVES IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE REAL MASTERMIND.”
Julian frowned, staring at the cryptic warning while his mind raced through the list of senior vice presidents at Sterling Industries.
“Maya, bring me the corporate partnership audit files from the past five fiscal quarters,” Julian called out toward the hallway.

Maya hurried into the room carrying the requested leather folders, her eyes widening at the grim expression on Julian’s face.
