Chapter 13 - The sinister alliance
Meanwhile, in a rundown, miserable apartment complex on the outskirts of the city, Claire's biological family was living in absolute despair.
Richard, the once-arrogant real estate tycoon, was now wearing cheap, worn-out clothes, drinking bottom-shelf liquor on a stained sofa. Vanessa wept continuously, bitterly blaming the universe for the loss of her designer dresses and elite country club lifestyle.
Just as their toxic hatred reached its absolute peak, a black sedan pulled up outside their pathetic building. Marcus stepped out, bringing a deeply sinister proposition.
He knew that to completely destroy Claire, he needed the help of the people who hated her the most. Marcus presented a briefcase filled with crisp cash, promising Richard and Vanessa a twenty percent stake in the billionaire hospital network if they helped him.
He needed them to steal a physical security key containing Julian's original, unencrypted data. That key was hidden inside Grandma Evelyn's highly secured penthouse safe.
