Divorced While Pregnant: The Billionaire’s Regret. Chapter 250: The Man Who Had the Key
The next morning...Damian Sterling woke before sunrise.He had barely slept.The words from his father's notebook continued to replay in his mind.Victor knows where the second key is.And now...Damian knew that Victor was still alive.Somewhere.Hiding.For fifteen years.Damian stood beside the bedroom window, staring at the quiet grounds of Sterling Mansion.Behind him...Evelyn slowly opened her eyes.She immediately noticed that he was awake."You didn't sleep."Damian turned."Neither did you."Evelyn sat up."I kept thinking about Victor.""So did I."She pushed the covers aside and walked toward him."What are you going to do?""Find him."Evelyn studied his expression."Your father spent fifteen years protecting whatever is behind that trust.""And Victor has been hiding for just as long."Damian nodded."Which means he probably knows exactly what happened.""And he has the second key.""Yes."Evelyn's expression became serious."Then we need to find him before Adrian does.

The old study at the Sterling Estate remained silent.Damian stood behind his father's desk, staring at the hidden compartment he had just opened.Inside...A leather-bound notebook.An old photograph.And a sealed envelope.For fifteen years...They had been hidden beneath the desk.Waiting.Damian slowly picked up the notebook.The cover was worn with age.Two words were written across it.Richard Sterling.His father's name.His hands tightened around the cover.Evelyn stood beside him."What are you thinking?"Damian didn't answer immediately.He opened the notebook again.The first page was dated fifteen years earlier.His eyes moved across the handwriting.Then stopped.If you're reading this, then the trust has been discovered.Damian's breathing became slower.Evelyn leaned closer."What does it say?"He showed her the page.She read it silently.Her expression changed."Your father knew."Damian nodded."He expected someone to find it."He turned the page.Another sentence ap
Divorced While Pregnant: The Billionaire’s Regret. Chapter 248: What Richard Was Protecting
The drive back from Connecticut was unusually quiet.Damian sat in the back seat, staring through the window.The black envelope containing the original trustee record rested beside him.Inside it was a document that had changed everything.STERLING HERITAGE TRUSTOriginal Trustee: Victoria Sterling.His mother.The woman Richard had secretly appointed to protect the trust.Yet, according to Michael...Victoria had never known.For years...Damian had believed he understood what had happened after his father's death.Richard Sterling had died.The estate had been settled.The family had mourned.Life had moved forward.But now...Damian realized the truth had never been settled.It had simply been buried.And someone had gone to extraordinary lengths to keep it buried.His fingers tightened around the envelope.Why had Richard created the trust?Why had he hidden it from Victoria?Why had someone forged an amendment six months after his death?And why had Michael been so afraid to spe

The following morning...Rain clouds covered the sky as Damian's car moved through the quiet streets outside New York.He sat in the back seat, staring through the window.The folder containing Michael Cole's information rested beside him.For fifteen years...Michael had disappeared.For fifteen years...He had carried secrets about Richard Sterling.And now...He was finally ready to speak.Or at least Damian hoped he was.The car slowed as it approached a quiet residential neighborhood.The security officer glanced at Damian through the rearview mirror."That's the address."Damian nodded."Pull over."The car stopped several houses away.Damian stepped outside.He didn't want Michael to feel threatened.No convoy.No unnecessary security.Just one officer remaining inside the vehicle.Damian walked toward the house alone.He reached the front door and knocked.Nothing.He knocked again.Still nothing.Then he heard movement inside.The curtain shifted.Someone was watching him.Da
Divorced While Pregnant: The Billionaire’s Regret. Chapter 246: The Man Who Kept the Record
The next morning...Damian arrived at Sterling Group earlier than usual.The events of the previous night remained fresh in his mind.The damaged trust amendment.The missing trustee record.The name Alexander Sterling.And the knowledge that someone had deliberately removed part of his father's history.He entered his office and found Lucas already waiting.Several folders covered the desk.Lucas looked up."Good morning.""Morning."Damian removed his coat."Did you find the surviving witness?"Lucas nodded."I think we did."Damian stopped."You think?"Lucas pushed one of the folders toward him."The witness is Michael Cole."Damian stared at the name.For several seconds...Nothing came to him.Then...A memory surfaced.A quiet man sitting behind a desk on the second floor of Sterling Group.A calculator beside him.Stacks of financial reports.His father's voice calling him into the office.Damian narrowed his eyes."Michael Cole.""You remember him?""Vaguely."Lucas nodded."

The following morning...Damian woke to the quiet vibration of his phone on the nightstand.He reached for it without opening his eyes.One message.From Lucas.We found the attorney's archived records.Damian's eyes opened immediately.He sat up.Beside him, Evelyn was still asleep.For a moment, he considered getting out of bed immediately.Then he glanced at the clock.It was barely six in the morning.He didn't want to wake her.Damian quietly slipped out of bed and walked into the bathroom.After washing his face, he returned to the bedroom, dressed quickly, and looked back at Evelyn.She was still sleeping peacefully.A faint smile touched his lips.Then he left the room.Downstairs...The mansion was quiet.Damian entered the kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee.His phone vibrated again.Another message from Lucas.The law firm has the files.A second message appeared.But there's a problem.Damian frowned.He immediately typed back.What problem?The reply came almost i
