Chapter 21 - the lingering shadow
Five years of absolute, unbroken peace settled over the sprawling Vance estate. The multi-billion-dollar construction conglomerate had reached unprecedented global heights. Arthur and Clara had established a legacy of profound corporate integrity and unmatched humanitarian aid.
