Chapter 18 - Uncovering the true identity of Clara's long-lost family connects the housemaid directly to a historic European aristocratic lineage.
While reviewing security clearances for the estate staff, Julian decided to dig deeper into Clara's family background out of curiosity.
He ran her biometric data through a high-level genealogical database used by international legal firms to track unclaimed inheritances.
To his absolute astonishment, the results showed a direct bloodline match to a high-ranking European noble family based in Geneva.

The Zurich syndicate had originally stolen her family's banking charter decades ago to fund their illegal international operations.
Julian called Clara into his study, handing her the genealogical printouts with a look of profound reverence and awe.
