Chapter 21 - A Mysterious Visitor
On a quiet evening in late autumn, a sleek black sedan pulled up along the gravel driveway of Clara’s Maine home.
A tall woman dressed in a tailored charcoal suit stepped out, holding a locked steel briefcase in her left hand.
Clara watched from her front porch as the mysterious visitor walked up the wooden steps with deliberate grace.
“Clara Vance? My name is Victoria, and I was Julian’s chief financial advisor before his arrest,” the woman introduced herself.
“I didn't come here to threaten you or ask for forgiveness,” Victoria stated, setting the briefcase on the porch table.
“I came to give you the one thing Julian kept hidden even from the federal prosecutors who raided his mansion.”

“Why bring this to me now after everything has already ended?” Clara asked, her voice calm and guarded.
