Chapter 13 - The Hidden LedgerElena discovered the missing piece inside an old foundation archive.
A handwritten ledger.
It contained names.
Dates.
Account numbers.
Payments.
And beside several transactions was a single symbol.
A black triangle.
Elena recognized it from previous financial crimes cases.
It was connected to an international laundering network.
Caroline had not created the system.
She had entered it.
Arthur's empire had unknowingly become one of its financial channels.
The revelation changed everything.
Elena looked at Arthur.
“Your wife wasn't the architect.”
Arthur frowned.
“Then who was?”
Elena closed the ledger.
“That's what we're going to find out.”
