Chapter 4 - The Mystery of the Coastal Highway

The coastal highway fire had occurred three nights prior. Lorenzo’s driver had been transporting baby Sophia and her private nurse back to the family estate when the rear axle snapped, sending the luxury sedan plunging into a ravine where it exploded into flames.
The driver and nurse had died instantly, and emergency crews reported that nothing remained inside the vehicle except charred metal and ash. Marco Vance had taken full control of the recovery operation, delivering the tragic news to Lorenzo within an hour and arranging the closed-casket service in record time.
Lorenzo had been blinded by paralyzing grief, trusting his closest lieutenant to handle the arrangements while he mourned the loss of his only child. He had spent forty-eight hours locked in his study with a bottle of scotch, unable to process how his empire meant nothing without his daughter.
Now, standing in the bright memorial hall, the pieces of a sinister puzzle were falling into place with terrifying clarity.
Lorenzo took three deliberate steps toward Marco. "You personally brought the dental records to the coroner, Marco. You verified the remains."
Marco didn't flinch. He adjusted his dark silk tie, his posture rigid and arrogant despite the heavy tension suffocating the room. "Don Lorenzo, the woman is hysterical. She’s making baseless accusations to cover up her own neglect. I led the recovery team myself. I saw the wreckage with my own eyes."
