Chapter 14 - The BetrayalThe mastermind was revealed as Jonathan Sterling.
Victoria's younger brother.
The man everyone believed had died years earlier.
He had secretly controlled a network of investors through shell companies.
His plan was simple:
Destroy Victoria's credibility.
Eliminate the heirs.
Take control of Sterling Industries.
But Jonathan had made one mistake.
He had underestimated the sisters.
Clara and Elena decided to expose him publicly.
They gathered documents.
Financial records.
Hospital files.
Security footage.
Every piece of evidence.
Then Jonathan struck first.
Victoria was kidnapped.
The sisters received one message:
Bring both emeralds. Come alone.
Clara looked at Elena.
"We're going."

Elena nodded.
"Together."
