Chapter 19 - The Sealed Package From Ireland
As the party began to wind down around midnight, Marcus walked over to Nora carrying a small courier envelope.
“This just arrived via express courier from Dublin, Nora,” Marcus mentioned, handing her the heavy paper envelope.
Nora frowned slightly, taking the package and stepping into her quiet private library to open it away from the music.
She broke the red wax seal on the back, pulling out a thick set of old parchment documents and an antique silver key.
Attached was a handwritten letter written in dark black ink:
“Dear Mrs. Preston—My name is Siobhan Vance, daughter of the late Victor Vance.”
“Before my father was taken into federal custody, he instructed his European executors to surrender his private holdings in County Clare.”
“He left you a deed to an ancient coastal estate along the Cliffs of Moher, along with a personal journal detailing the European accounts your father secretly established in 1999.”
Nora picked up the antique silver key, holding it against the soft light of her desk lamp.
Her father had spent five years traveling through Europe in the late nineties before he ever built Preston Supply in Phoenix.

Now, holding the heavy key in her hand, she realized her father had left behind a hidden legacy across the Atlantic Ocean that no one in Arizona knew existed.
