Chapter 21 - CHARLES'S LAST CONFESSION Charles's recording revealed the final secret.
Victor had never been the architect.
He had been an accomplice.
The real plan was to control Harrington Holdings through fear.
Claire had threatened everything.
So Charles removed her.
Then he removed me.
But he had also prepared for his own death.
A hidden successor.
Someone who would inherit his private network.
Someone outside the family.
Someone no one would suspect.
The recording ended with an encrypted name.
Michael recognized the code.
“Richard Vale.”
Former Harrington legal counsel.
Dead, according to the official records.
But not actually dead.
Reyes investigated.
A passport had been issued under another name.
Richard was alive.
And living in Europe.
But before police could contact him, another message arrived.
You found the wrong man.
Then a photograph appeared.
Margaret.
Walking alone.
The message continued.
