Chapter 12 - Rebecca Discovers A Hidden Safety Deposit Box Key Inside
Back at the Winnetka estate, Rebecca tore through Daniel’s private home office desk drawers in a state of absolute panic.
When Daniel called to tell her about the federal asset freeze, he had screamed at her to find his backup bearer bonds.
She shoved aside tax documents, checkbooks, and pen holders until her fingers brushed against a cold, metallic object.

She didn't know that Marcus’s automated license plate reader had already flagged her vehicle leaving the Winnetka gates.

“Let her empty the box,” Victoria said calmly from her armchair. “That box contains the final piece of evidence Prosecutor Miller needs.”
