last update 게시일: 2026-11-07 02:41:08

Sarah read Renard's report again.

"The same system was used to change my mother's authorization and restrict the declaration?"

"Yes," Renard replied. "Both requests passed through the old Laurent Legal records system."

Adrian leaned forward.

"Does that mean the same person was responsible?"

"Not necessarily," Renard answered. "Several people had access to that system. But both requests used temporary administrator accounts with blank user fields."

Sarah placed the report on the table.

    “Charles and Daniel?” Sarah repeated.Adrian nodded.“Those are the two names listed on the storage record.”Sarah stared at the screen.“So my father and Charles placed the missing page in a box that neither of them could open alone?”“That seems to be what the record says.”“Why?”Adrian had no answer.Sarah turned toward Helen, who was still standing near the archive desk.“Can you explain this?”Helen studied the document.“The box was placed under joint founder custody. According to the storage rules, both original signatories must approve its release.”“What if one of them is unavailable?”“The other can apply for a court review, but cannot open it alone.”Sarah let out a bitter laugh.“So even after all these years, the two people who know the truth still have control over it.”“Not exactly,” Helen said carefully. “The archive holds the box. The signatures only control its release.”Sarah folded her arms.“Then I want to know whether either man has tried to open it.”Helen chec

    “Show me the receipt,” Sarah said.Helen turned the monitor toward her.The document was old, but the writing was still clear.TRANSFER RECORD — FOUNDER ARCHIVEItem: Original Golden Phoenix Agreement AttachmentStatus: Removed from agreement fileDestination: Separate Protected StorageReason: Founder disputeCollection Date: Twelve years agoSarah read it twice.“Twelve years ago?”“Yes,” Helen replied. “The page was separated before the agreement entered our custody.”Adrian frowned.“Who requested the transfer?”Helen moved the screen down.“The record shows that the request came from the original trustee delegation. It carries the same authority code used for other Golden Phoenix records.”Sarah shook her head.“Another request without a name.”“I understand your frustration,” Helen said. “But this document gives us something important. The page was not lost during storage. It was deliberately placed somewhere else.”“Can you tell us who collected it?”Helen opened another record

    Sarah stared at Helen.“Who requested the removal of my father's instruction?”Helen folded her hands on the desk.“The request came six weeks ago through the trustee delegation account. It asked us to separate the instruction from Daniel Cross's sealed statement.”“Who sent it?”“The account does not show an individual name.”Sarah's jaw tightened.“Then why was it accepted?”“It wasn't.” Helen opened a folder. “The archive refused the request because it did not include Daniel's signed consent. The statement remains sealed, but the original instruction is missing from the envelope.”“Someone removed it before the request?”“We cannot confirm that. However, we have a scanned copy from the day Daniel deposited the statement.”Sarah leaned forward.“Show me.”Helen turned her monitor toward them.A scanned document appeared on the screen. Daniel's signature sat at the bottom.Sarah recognized the handwriting from the letters Dr. Reed had given her.Her fingers trembled slightly.“What d

    Sarah placed the transfer record on the table."Private Succession Archive. What exactly is this place?"Lord Alistair adjusted his glasses."It is a restricted storage facility used by the Laurent International Trust. It holds documents connected to family succession, private agreements, and protected identities.""Does it belong to the trust?""Not exactly. The trust pays for the storage, but the archive is managed by an independent records company."Sarah frowned."So the trust can store documents there without directly controlling the facility?""Yes. But it still controls who is allowed to request access."Adrian picked up the transfer record."Can we request the declaration?""We can," Lord Alistair replied. "But the archive will require proof that Sarah has the legal right to inspect it."Sarah shook her head."That's the same problem we've been facing.""Unfortunately."She looked at Renard."Find out when the documents were transferred and who approved it."Renard nodded."I'

    Sarah placed the unsigned instruction beside the other documents."Expand Elena Lin's authority to cover all succession matters. Approval has been obtained."She read the sentence again."Whoever wrote this knew exactly what they wanted."Adrian studied the page."But they didn't sign it.""That's what makes it dangerous. Peter processed the change because someone told him approval had already been obtained."Renard opened his tablet."Martin says the instruction was recovered from an old backup folder. It was not part of the official document.""Then how did it reach Peter?""That is what we're trying to establish."Sarah looked at Lord Alistair."Can we challenge the instruction?""Yes. An unsigned instruction cannot prove that Aria approved the expansion. We can use it to question the validity of the revised authorization.""Then prepare the challenge."Lord Alistair nodded."But I recommend we also request the original communication records. We need to know who sent the instructio

    Charles remained seated after Sarah finished speaking."I know I made a mistake," he said quietly. "But I did not give Elena permission to control your future."Sarah folded her arms."Then who did?""I don't know.""You keep saying that.""Because it's the truth."Sarah looked at him."You submitted my mother's original authorization. You received confirmation that it had been accepted. You never checked the final copy. Do you understand what that means?"Charles nodded slowly."It means I trusted a system I should have questioned.""It also means someone had an opportunity to change my mother's instructions."Charles lowered his head."I am sorry."Sarah looked away.She had heard those words many times. They did not repair the years she had lost or the trust he had broken."Lord Alistair will send you a formal request," she said. "I want every message and document you received when you submitted that authorization."Charles looked up."You think I may have kept something?""I think
