Chapter 11 - Discovering Hidden Documents Inside the Wall Vault
Victoria pressed a hidden biometric panel behind the mahogany vanity mirror, causing a concealed wall safe to slide open.
Inside sat a stack of physical documents, flash drives, and personal journals detailing the Vance family’s darkest secrets.
Alexander’s head snapped up in sheer panic as he watched her pull out the encrypted hard drives from the compartment.
“Don't touch those! Those contain private family contracts and offshore partnership agreements!” Alexander shouted, standing up.
Victoria ignored him, flipping open a black leather journal belonging to Richard Vance Sr. from decades ago.
“It looks like your father didn't just build this company through hostile takeovers; he murdered his original business partner,” she read aloud.
Alexander froze in his tracks, his face draining of whatever little color remained in his cheeks.
“How... how did you find that vault? Even Chloe didn't know about that panel,” Alexander stammered in disbelief.
“I installed this security system five years ago under a classified contractor license,” Victoria revealed with a calm smile.
