Chapter 18 - A Mysterious Courier Delivers A Threatening Package Outside
On a crisp Friday morning, as gentle rain tapped against the estate’s library windows, a private delivery van arrived.

Marcus inspected the package thoroughly with a portable X-ray scanner before carrying it into David’s private study.
“No explosives, Mr. Vance, but the inner seal matches the Zurich syndicate insignia we found on Victoria’s laptop,” Marcus warned.
David put down his reading pen, gesturing for him to place the ominous black box on the mahogany desk.
He used a silver letter opener to crack the crimson wax seal, sliding off the heavy lid to reveal a brass key and a note.
