Chapter 11 - Lily Finds The Hidden Documents In The Study
While her father was busy with the digital files, Lily wandered into the adjoining private study room.
Her attention was drawn to a loose wooden floorboard near the antique mahogany bookshelves.
She knelt down, prying the loose panel open with her small fingers to reveal a hidden leather-bound ledger.
“Daddy, look what I found!” Lily called out, holding the heavy book up proudly as she walked back into the living room.
Julian turned around quickly, his eyes widening in surprise as he recognized his grandfather’s personal accounting journal.
He took the book gently from her hands, flipping through the delicate, yellowed pages filled with handwritten notes.
“This contains the original partnership deeds signed before the company went public,” Julian realized with mounting excitement.
The ledger proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Marcus and Victoria had forged stock transfer signatures.
“You’re the smartest girl in Manhattan, Lily,” Julian praised, kissing the top of her head with overwhelming pride.
