Chapter 11 - The Letter
The original trust contained a hidden compartment.
Lorenzo had never known about it.
Inside was a sealed letter written by his father.
The handwriting was unmistakable.
Lorenzo opened it himself.
The first line made his hands tremble.
If Sebastian Rossi ever comes looking for this, give it to him.
Everyone stared.
Sebastian stepped closer.
Lorenzo continued reading.
His father admitted the truth.
Twenty years earlier, money had disappeared.
But Sebastian's father hadn't stolen it.
Lorenzo's father had hidden it.
He had discovered that powerful people outside their organization were trying to take control of both families.
Instead of fighting them openly, he created a false story.
He blamed Sebastian's father.
Then he placed the money inside the Rossi Trust.
The plan was to recover it years later.
But he died before he could.
Sebastian's father disappeared to protect his son.
The entire feud had been built on a lie.
Sebastian's eyes filled with disbelief.
“You knew?”
Lorenzo shook his head.
“No.”
Beatrice looked at the letter.
“There must be more.”
There was.
The final paragraph named the real danger.
Not a person.
A group of businessmen who had been attempting to acquire the family's assets through legal pressure.
The same men who now controlled several companies connected to the medical foundation.
Caldwell understood.
“Sebastian was being manipulated.”
Lorenzo looked at him.
“So was my father.”
Sebastian sat down.
For the first time, he looked exhausted rather than dangerous.
Beatrice approached him.
“You still almost killed Lorenzo.”
Sebastian lowered his head.
“I know.”
Lorenzo looked at him.
“You have one chance.”
Sebastian raised his eyes.
