Chapter 21 - A Sealed Black Envelope Arrives At Midnight

Late one quiet Friday evening, after Leo and Elena were sound asleep and the mansion was wrapped in peaceful stillness, the gate alarm chimed. Adrian walked down the driveway to check the pillar, finding a small black envelope resting on the stone surface.

There was no return address, only a red wax seal stamped with an unfamiliar family crest from an overseas estate trust. Adrian brought the envelope to his study, using a letter opener to slice open the heavy parchment paper inside.
