Chapter 11 - Arriving At Julian’s Secure Beverly Hills Estate

Instead of entering the bank immediately, Julian redirected the driver toward his private residential compound in Bel-Air.
“Change of plans; we need to secure the physical verification documents before approaching the federal bank vault,” Julian decided.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Maya asked, noticing the sudden tension in the posture of the front seat bodyguards.
“My security feed shows two unmarked black sedans trailing our vehicle since we left the Beverly Hills ballroom,” Julian replied.
Maya looked out the rear window, spotting the reflection of headlights keeping an uncomfortably close distance behind them.
“Chloe’s family is already hunting us down,” Maya realized, gripping the edge of the leather seat cushion.
“They know the transfer window opens tonight at midnight, and they’ll do anything to stop you from signing,” Julian warned.
The Escalade sped through iron security gates that opened automatically into a sprawling, modern cliffside estate.
Towering pine trees and high concrete walls surrounded the compound, offering maximum privacy and military-grade defense.
